WELCOME TO YOUR NEW CHEF N GO
1
The CHEF N GO is the newest
Ronco “Set it and Forget It”
Kitchen Wonder. The CHEF N GO
is a sturdy yet lightweight kitchen
appliance that is designed to
make cooking, entertaining, and
everyday living easier and more
convenient. The CHEF N GO is
automatic and worry free because
it is designed with a special
microchip technology that not only
cooks with steam to lock in flavor,
but also cooks with a sensor so
that each meal cooks perfectly
every time.
The machine is designed so that you can set your recipe by each cooking mode
and go about your daily living whether it is running errands, working, carpooling
or after-school activities. Just “Set It and Forget it” and know that you’ll have your
meal ready when you return.
The CHEF N GO is also portable unlike any other cooking machine out there
today. The portability of this machine allows you to bring your cooked meal,
appetizer, dessert, or any special recipe to a football game, tailgating party, soccer
practice, potluck, church function or even just to work because you just want to
have a delicious cooked meal. Some people even cook at work since it is so easy
to carry, they simply put the ingredients inside the CHEF N GO and cook during
lunch hour so they can bring the meal to family or friends after they leave work.
And, when you have a special occasion or holiday function, you can use the
CHEF N GO as an extra cooking device when preparing for the family, and just
bring the appetizer or gourmet dish to the party.
The CHEF N GO will change your life because it is easy to cook with and even
easier to clean up when you’re done! Imagine not having to take out a pot or
pan and having a completely cooked meal or special birthday cake done with
no mess!
At Ronco our goal is to improve the quality of your life, and the CHEF N GO was
carefully designed to make everyday more enjoyable for you.

HOW TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN YOUR CHEF N GO
After cooking, it is advisable to clean the CHEF N GO as well as the spatula
and spoon to remove leftover food and odors. Always remember to unplug the
CHEF N GO before cleaning. Use a damp sponge (non-abrasive) and a mild
dish washing soap.
Remove the steam valve from the unit by lifting, using the lip on the valve and
twisting up. On the back of the valve is a switch, move the switch to the open
position which will allow you to open the valve for cleaning. Insert the steam valve
back into the upper lid with the hinge of the steam valve toward the rear of the
CHEF N GO and push down.
The Steam Valve

Mount
Remove
Gently remove the inner lid’s circular steam seal (do not twist or pull). Once it
has been removed, clean it in warm soapy water. You can also place this in the
dishwasher as it is dishwasher safe. Once dry, put the steam seal back into the
groove, adjusting it until correctly positioned. To reassemble, align the base with
the lid making sure that the two hinges are correctly positioned. The two pieces
should snap right into place. Move the hinges back toward the lid into the closed
position until you hear it click. This will connect the two pieces.
The Inner Lid Steam Seal
All of your accessories are dishwasher safe. To hand wash the Bowl Gripper, Egg
Poacher, Silicone Muffin molds, and Ronco’s famous Chef Knife; simply place in your
dishwasher or clean with a mild dish soap, sponge and water and dry thoroughly
before using again in the CHEF N GO. All of the additional accessories such
as the Extendable Colander, Slotted Spoon, Silicone Wisk, Silicone Ladle, Silicone
Ladle Holder, Silicone Spatula and the Silicone Measuring Cups, can also be cleaned
in the dishwasher or with a mild soap and non-abrasive sponge. Dry thoroughly before
each next use.
The Accessories

Wipe with a clean damp cloth or towel and very mild dish-
washing soap.
After cooking, baking, steaming or reheating, be sure
to wipe the CHEF N GO clean with a damp cloth.
Open lid. With two hands press the 2 tabs at the bot-
tom of metal disc, and lift up to remove aluminum lid.
Wash in warm soapy water and let dry. To replace, insert
top of the aluminum lid into slot and snap into place.
To clean the circular inner rim on top of the lid that is
encased with rubber sealing, press the two buttons
toward the bottom of the lid and wash with soap and
water. (This will not fit into place if the circular steam seal
does not have the seal fold facing inside the inner lid.
Take note of which side the hinges are on so you can be
sure not to try and snap it back together backwards.)
Because water may collect here, wipe off with a
clean cloth.
Food may cling to these areas and, if not cleaned, may
affect future cooking. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
If very difficult to clean –you may use a sponge that is
non-abrasive.
To avoid damaging the inner coating on the cooking pot,
use the attached scoop or the spatula. You can also
use the additional silicone spatula, ladle holder or slatted
spoons (sold as additional accessories) as they won’t
damage the inner pot. Do not use any metal utensils.
It may scratch the non stick coating.
Never clean the inner pot or steamer with vinegar,
which can be corrosive. Also, never wash with a
metal brush or abrasive scouring pad, both of which
may damage the interior coating of the cooking pot.
Always wash with a mild soap and warm water, then
wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.It is very important that
you dry the inner bowl completely on the bottom before
inserting into the unit. If you do not, the water will create
an additional sizzling sound when you begin using your
CHEF N GO. Also, the inner pot and steamer basket
are dishwasher safe for quick and easy cleaning.
