persons, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they are closely supervised and
instructed concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible
for their safety.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or
near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
4. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
5. Use oven mitts to remove the insert pan or rack from the roaster

19. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
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.

heating of the oven.

Tips for Using Your Roaster Oven
• 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 insert
pan. Most heat-resistant glass casserole dishes fit in the
roaster oven.
• The insert pan must always be used when cooking in the
roaster oven. If cooking large quantities of soups, stews, or
casseroles, the insert pan may be used as the cooking pan
in the base.
• 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.
Pan Sizes
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 (26 x 35 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

Using Your Roaster Oven
wCAUTION Burn Hazard.
• Escaping steam may cause burns.
• Use hot mitts to protect hands when removing insert pan,
rack, baking pan, or cooked food.
1. Make sure temperature control knob is on MIN. Plug into
outlet.
2. Remove rack. Leave insert pan in roaster
oven.
3. Set temperature control knob to desired
temperature and preheat 15 minutes with
lid on.
4. Place food to be cooked in a pan on the
rack (or directly in the insert pan). Then
place rack in oven and add the lid.
5. Use oven mitts to remove lid and food
when finished cooking.
6. Turn temperature control knob to MIN and
unplug.
NOTE: The insert pan should always be placed
in the base when cooking.

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 155° to
160°F (68° to 71°C). The “Fully Cooked” hams have been
smoked or cured and already cooked. The ham does not
require further cooking, but heating to 140°F (60°C) improves
the flavor.
• The roaster oven cooks turkeys in less time than conventional
ovens. A 14- to 18-pound (6.4–8.2 kg) unstuffed turkey
will cook in approximately 2 1/2 hours. A turkey cooked in
the roaster oven is moist, juicy, and lightly browned. If you
want turkey with darker browned skin, please use the Turkey
Browning Sauce in the “Roasting Recipes” 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.

Baking
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.
Steaming
Preheat roaster oven to 450°F (232°C). To steam in the roaster
oven, you will need a metal colander. Place rack in the insert
pan. Place insert pan in roaster oven. Pour 1 quart (0.95 L)
boiling water into the insert pan. Place food to be steamed
in the colander and place colander in insert pan. Cover
and steam according to the following times or until desired
doneness.
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

10
Warming Rolls, Biscuits, etc.
Preheat roaster oven to 250°F (121°C). 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 insert pan.
Stack rolls, biscuits, or pancakes in insert pan. Do not let them
touch sides of pan. Cover and keep warm up to 1 hour.
Quantity Cooking
The insert 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 (204°C)
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 (107°C) and allow 4 to 8 hours to simmer,
depending on recipe.
