3 The outside of the ROASTER OVEN BODY may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Do not immerse the ROASTER OVEN BODY in water.

NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER OVEN BODY.
- Avoid the steam vents when removing or lifting the LID.
- Significant amounts of heat escape whenever the LID is removed; therefore the cooking time must be extended. Avoid frequent removal of the LID for checking cooking progress or stirring.
- To use the LID REST feature, hold the LID upright by the HANDLE and place the edge of the LID under the metal tabs just above either side HANDLE.
- Convenience foods can be baked in the roaster oven. Place container on ROASTING RACK. Follow package directions.
- Meats roasted in your Roaster Oven will be moist and tender. For additional browning, brush oil or butter over the meat before cooking.
• To create a darker roasted, crispier skin poultry, do not add liquids (with the exception of the basting butter or oil) until there are only 30 minutes left of cooking.
