IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances, including the following:

Important: Read all instructions carefully before first use.
Do not touch any hot metal surfaces.
Use the handles or knobs.
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance, power cord or plug in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children. This appliance is not intended to be used by children.
Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or removing parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged power cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Aroma® Customer Service for examination, repair or adjustment.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Aroma® Housewares, may result in fire, electrical shock or injury.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the power cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter or table.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when using or moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
Do not use the appliance for anything other than its intended use.
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces may break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric shock.
Be sure to use on a dry, level and heatresistant surface.
Prior to plugging appliance into the wall outlet, ensure the temperature control dial is set to the MIN position. To disconnect, turn the dial to the MIN position, and then remove the plug from wall outlet.
Keep at least 4 inches away from walls and other flammables in a well ventilated area.
Do not store any materials, other than those accessories recommended by Aroma® Housewares, in this oven when not in use.
Use only with a 120V AC power outlet.
The roaster oven should be operated on a separate electric circuit from other operating appliances. If the electric circuit is overloaded with other appliances, this appliance may not operate properly.
Always make sure the outside of the enameled cooking pan is dry prior to using. If the cooking pan is returned to the roaster oven when wet, it may damage or cause the product to malfunction.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, cook only in the removable enameled cooking pan provided.
Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the roaster oven as they may create a fire or risk of electric shock.
A fire may occur if the roaster oven is covered by or touching flammable materials, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation. Do not store any item on top of the appliance when in operation.
Do not cover any part of the roaster oven with metal foil. This will cause overheating of the roaster oven.
Use extreme caution when opening the lid during or after cooking. Hot steam will escape and may cause scalding.
To disconnect, first turn the temperature control to the MIN position, then remove the plug from the wall outlet. Never pull on the power cord.
Do not use this roaster oven without the enameled cooking pan.
Use oven mitts when removing the enameled cooking pan, the roasting rack, and/or cooked food from the roaster oven.
Do not wrap or tie the power cord around the appliance.
Some countertop surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Use only on a flat, heat-resistant surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Short Cord Instructions

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer extension cord is used:
a.) The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
b.) The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.

Short Cord Instructions

Polarized Plug

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other); follow the instructions below:

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doe not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

Tear up all plastic bags and dispose of them properly as they can pose a risk to children.
Wash the removable cooking pan, lid, and all other accessories in warm, soapy water.
Wipe the roaster’s body clean with a damp cloth.
Dry all parts and accessories thoroughly then reassemble for use.
Ensure that the temperature control dial is turned to the MIN position then plug the power cord into an available 120V AC outlet.
Heat the roaster oven on 400°F for 30 minutes or until smoke and/or odors have completely dissipated.
Once smoke and/or odors have ceased to emit, turn the temperature control dial to the MIN position then remove the plug from the wall outlet. The roaster oven is now ready for use.

To Clean

Turn the temperature control dial to the MIN position then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
Allow the unit to completely cool.
Wash the removable cooking pan, lid, and all other accessories in warm, soapy water.
Wipe the roaster’s body clean with a damp cloth.
Dry all parts and accessories thoroughly then reassemble for next use.

Caution:
Never add water directly into the roaster oven’s body without the cooking pan in place.

Helpful Hints:
For stubborn food stains, pour 4 cups of hot water into the cooking pan and allow it to soak for 30 minutes. After soaking, wash with warm, soapy water.

Roast & Braise

Place the cooking pan into the roaster oven then place the lid on top securely.
Plug the power cord into an available 120V AC wall outlet.
Turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature. The heat indicator light will illuminate.
Allow the roaster to preheat. The heat indicator light will turn off once the cooking pan has reached the selected temperature. During operation, the indicator light will turn on and off, indicating the input temperature is being maintained.
Once the roaster has preheated, open the lid using caution then carefully place the roasting rack into the cooking pan. Wear protective heat resistant gloves to prevent injury as the roaster oven will be hot.
Place desired ingredients onto the roasting rack and cover with the lid.
When finished cooking, remove the food from the roasting rack, turn the temperature control dial to the MIN position then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Keep Warm

To keep foods at a ready-to-serve temperature after cooking, begin by following steps 1 through 6 of “Roast & Braise” above.
When finished cooking, turn the temperature control dial to Keep Warm.
After serving, turn the temperature control dial to the MIN position then remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Caution:
Before placing the cooking pan into the roaster, check that the cooking pan is dry and free of debris. Adding the cooking pan when wet may damage the roaster.
During and after use, the lid, cooking pan, and roasting rack will become extremely hot. Be sure to use the handle and wear protective heat-resistant oven mitts or gloves. Always use caution when opening the lid while cooking as hot steam will escape and can cause scalding.

Note:

Using a reliable meat thermometer to monitor your foods as they cook is crucial to obtaining delicious results, however, refrain from opening the lid too often to prevent heat loss and lessen total cook time.
Always preheat the oven before placing ingredients inside, unless the recipe specifies otherwise.
Food should not be left in the roaster on Keep Warm for more than 12 hours.
