Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only. This roaster
oven is not intended for commercial, professional, or industrial
type usage. This roaster oven is designed only for cooking food. It
should not be used for heating nonfood products such as melting
wax. This appliance is designed, built, and intended for household
use only.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If
a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange
the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Make sure temperature control
is turned to MIN. Plug cord into
outlet.
Place food to be cooked in a pan
on the rack (or directly in the
roasting pan). Then place rack in
oven and replace the lid.
Remove rack. Leave roasting pan
in roaster oven.
When finished cooking, remove
lid. Wearing oven mitts, remove
food by using the rack.
Set temperature control to
desired setting and let preheat
15 minutes with lid on.
Turn temperature control to MIN
and unplug.

wWARNING Burn Hazard. Escaping steam may cause
burns. Use hot mitts to protect hands when removing
roasting pan, rack, baking pan, or cooked food.

• Before baking or roasting in the roaster oven, make sure the pan or
dish you plan to use will fit by placing it in the roasting pan. Most
heat-resistant glass casserole dishes fit in the roaster oven.
• The roasting pan must always be used when cooking in the roaster
oven. If cooking large quantities of soups or stews, the roasting
pan may be used as the cooking pan in the roaster base. It may
also be used as a large roasting pan in the roaster base.
• Do not use the roasting pan as a baking pan or casserole dish for
cakes, breads, or casseroles. A separate pan must be placed in the
roasting pan when cooking these foods.
• Baking pans and casserole dishes should be placed on the rack for
best heat circulation. If necessary, the rack can be removed to fit a
large roasting pan or two casseroles in roaster oven.
• Foil oven roasting bags can be used in the roaster oven. We do not
recommend using plastic oven roasting bags in the roaster oven.
• Do not remove the lid of the roaster oven unless necessary.
Removing the lid allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of
the roaster oven.
• Unless otherwise instructed, preheat roaster oven for 15 minutes
to the temperature stated in recipes.
• If a recipe calls for the use of a baking pan or dish, take the rack
out of the roaster oven. Preheat oven to desired temperature. Then
place pan on the rack and then place both into the roaster oven.
Bake as instructed in recipe. The rack makes it easier to place or
remove pans or dishes in the hot roaster oven.
Following are pan sizes which will fit in the roaster oven:
• One 9- x 13-inch (23 x 33 cm) baking or 10- x 14-inch (25 x 36 cm)
roasting pan
• Two 9- x 5-inch (23 x 13 cm) or 8- x 4-inch (20 x 10 cm) loaf pans
• One tube or bundt pan
Tips for Using Your Roaster Oven

7
Roasting Meats and Poultry
• We recommend the use of a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly
cooked roasts and poultry every time. If using a meat thermometer,
the meat or poultry should be removed from the roaster oven when
the thermometer reading is 5 to 10 degrees below the desired
temperature. The internal temperature will continue to rise after
the meat has been removed from the roaster oven.
• Most hams sold today are labeled as “Cook Before Eating” or “Fully
Cooked.” Ham labeled “Cook Before Eating” has been smoked or
cured but NOT cooked. This ham must be thoroughly cooked to
an internal temperature of 155º to 160°F (68º to 71ºC). The “Fully
Cooked” hams have been smoked or cured and already cooked.
The ham does not require further cooking, but heating to 140°F (60ºC)
improves the flavor.
• The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less time than conventional
ovens. A 25- to 28-pound (11.3–12.7 kg) unstuffed turkey will cook in
approximately 3 1/2 to 4 hours. A turkey cooked in the roaster oven
is moist and juicy, but is lighter brown than a conventional oven
roasted turkey. To enhance the appearance, use the Turkey Browning
Sauce in the “Recipe” section.
• The Roasting Chart lists cooking times for tender cuts of meat that
are usually dry-roasted. These roasts are from the rib or sirloin area.
To tenderize cuts from the leg (ham) or shoulder/chuck area, cook in
liquid for a longer period of time.
• Times indicated are approximate and should be used only as a
general guideline. Individual cuts of meat and personal preference
may dictate longer or shorter roasting times.
• Food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth. Visit
foodsafety.gov for more information.

Baking
Steaming
Warming Rolls and Biscuits
The roaster oven can bake your favorite cakes, pies, breads, or
casseroles like a conventional oven. Pans and dishes should be
placed on the rack for best heat circulation. Using the rack is also
recommended for convenience in removing hot dishes and pans
from the roaster oven.
Do not remove the lid of the roaster oven unless necessary. Removing
the lid allows heat to escape and affects the temperature of the roaster
oven.
Preheat roaster oven to 450ºF (232ºC). To steam in the roaster
oven, you will need a metal colander. Place rack in the roasting
pan. Place roasting pan in roaster oven. Pour 1 quart (946 ml)
boiling water into the roasting pan. Place food to be steamed
in the colander and place colander in roasting pan. Cover and
steam according to the chart times or until desired doneness.
Preheat roaster over to 250ºF (121ºC). You will need two small
ovenproof containers to hold water. Emptied and washed food cans are
perfect. Fill the cans two-thirds full with hot water and place in opposite
corners of the roasting pan.
Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in roasting pan. Do not let them touch
sides of pan. Cover and keep warm up to 1 hour.
ITEM TO STEAM AMOUNT OF TIME
2 cauliflower heads, cut up 10 minutes
2 bunches of broccoli, cut up 10 minutes
2 pounds (907 g) shrimp 10 minutes
Quantity Cooking
The roasting pan may be used as a large cooking utensil when cooking
or heating large quantities. It may be used to simmer sauces, soups,
or stews, or simply to heat or warm large quantities. When cooking or
heating soups or stews in the roaster oven, stir occasionally for quicker,
even heating.
For example, set the temperature control at 400°F (204ºC) and the
roaster oven will warm vegetable beef soup from refrigerated
temperature to serving temperature in about 2 hours. To cook soups,
stews, or sauces, set the temperature control on 225°F (107ºC) and
allow 4 to 8 hours to simmer, depending on recipe.

Turn temperature control to
MIN. Unplug and let cool
completely.
Wash cover, rack, and roasting
pan in hot, soapy water. To
remove burned-on food, let soak;
then scrub with a nylon scouring
pad. Rinse in hot water; then dry.
Wipe the inside of the roaster base with a damp cloth. Wipe the
outside of the roaster oven with a damp, soapy cloth; then dry.
NOTE: The lid may discolor from the cooking process. It is a natural
occurrence and does not affect performance.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning.
Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid. Failure to follow these
instructions can result in death or electrical shock.
