To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the appliance, cord, or plug in water or other liquid. See instructions for cleaning.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. This appliance is not intended to be used by children.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged 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 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 it on a dry, level, and heat-resistant surface.
Keep at least 4 inches away from walls and other ﬂammables in a well-ventilated area.
Prior to plugging an appliance into the wall outlet, ensure the Temperature Control Dial is set to the Min position. To disconnect, turn the temperature control
to the Min position, and then remove the plug from the wall outlet.
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 the appliance may not operate properly.
Always make sure the outside of the removable Enameled Cooking Pan is dry prior to use. 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 electric shock, cook only in the removable Enameled Cooking Pan provided.
Oversize foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the Roaster Oven as they may create a fire or risk 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.

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 countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.

DO NOT DRAPE THE CORD!
KEEP AWAY FROM CHILDREN!

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 does 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.

Preheating Your Roaster Oven

Due to the manufacturing process, slight smoke and odor may be emitted during the first use, which is normal. We RECOMMEND preheating the Roaster Oven prior to the first use in order to eliminate the smoke and odor.

Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is set to the Min position and plug into a 120V AC outlet.
Preheat the oven for 30 minutes at 400°F, or until smoke and/or odors have completely dissipated.
To preheat, turn the Temperature Control Dial to 400°F. The indicator light will illuminate while the Roaster Oven is preheating.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Min position and it is ready for you to use.

To Clean

Turn the oven off by Setting the Temperature Control Dial to Min and unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet. Allow the oven to cool completely
After the Roaster Oven has cooled completely, clean the Enameled Cooking Pan and Roasting Rack thoroughly with warm, soapy water and a damp sponge or cloth.
For tough cleaning jobs, pour 2 inches of water into the Enameled Cooking Pan. Let soak until the mess easily wipes out.

Using The Roaster Oven

Place the Enameled Cooking Pan into the Roaster Oven Body. Place the Lid on the Enameled Cooking Pan.
Set the Temperature Control Dial to the Min position.
Plugin the power cord into a 120V AC wall outlet.
Preheat the Roaster Oven to the desired temperature.
Once the oven has reached the desired temperature, carefully remove the Lid and place it on the convenient Lid Holder (see “Figure A” to the right for details). Next,
Once the food has reached the desired doneness, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Min position and unplug.

Fig. A

The Lid Holder offers a safe and convenient way to rest the Roaster Oven’s Lid.
With the handle of the Lid facing down, attach the end of the Lid down to two hooks located directly above the Roaster Oven’s handles.

Using The Keep Warm Setting

Follow steps 1-5 in “Using the Roaster Oven” on page 7.
When the cooking is done, switch the Temperature Control Dial to the desired Keep Warm setting (125°F-175°F).
The roaster will maintain the selected temperature until you are ready to serve.
When finished serving, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Min position and unplug.

Using The Defrost Setting

Insert the Enameled Cooking Pan and Roasting Rack into the Roaster Oven Body. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to Defrost and preheat for 15-20 minutes.
Place your unwrapped frozen turkey on the Roasting Rack and cover with the Lid.
Once legs and thighs have reached 90°F-100°F, use a baster to remove any excess liquid or ice chunks remaining in the cavity.
When you are done defrosting, turn the Temperature Control Dial to 325°F to begin roasting your turkey. Your turkey will be finished once the breast reaches 165°F and the legs and thighs reach 175°F.

Note:
Using a reliable meat thermometer to check to defrost temperatures from time to time is important. However, refrain from opening the lid too many times in order to prevent heat loss inside the Roaster Oven.

Caution:
During and after use, the Roasting Rack and other parts will become very hot. Be sure to use the handles and wear protective oven mitts or gloves.
NEVER FILL THE ROASTER OVER WITH OIL. THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT INTENDED TO BE USED AS A DEEP FRYER.

Helpful Hints
The indicator light will shut off when the oven has reached the selected temperature. During operation the light will turn on and off to indicate that the proper temperature is being maintained Always preheat the oven, unless the recipe speciﬁes otherwise. Repeatedly removing the Lid will result in a loss of heat and steam and may result in increased cooking time. If adding liquid, for example, broth, to enhance ﬂavor do so during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Since the thickness and condition of meat may vary, check the meat 10 to 15 minutes before the recommended ﬁnishing time to ensure the best results. Use a meat thermometer to measure internal meat temperature toward the end of the looking cycle.

Caution:
Be sure to fully cook all meat according to internal meat temperature as recommended by www.foodsafety.gov
