BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using this unit, please read these instructions completely. Save this manual and pass it on to

next user.

Before using this appliance for the first time, unpack the roaster and remove all protective packaging

and wrappings. Please ensure to discard the protective packaging and wrappings immediately. It is

important to keep these away from babies, infants and children for safety purposes.

Wash the roaster as per the cleaning instructions provided. The inner pan must be wiped with warm

soapy water, rinsed and towel dried. DO NOT IMMERSE the UNIT in any liquid. DO NOT IMMERSE

the thermostat control/ probe or let the control come in contact with any liquid.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place the unit on a firm, flat surface and place the lid on the unit.

2. Turn the temperature dial of the thermostat control/probe to the “Off”, “0” or “Min” position. Plug

the thermostat control/ probe into the unit and ensure that it is fully inserted. Note: If the

thermostat control/ probe is not completely inserted, abnormal heating may occur, resulting in

damage.

3. Now insert the plug into the power socket and switch the power on.

4. Turn the thermostat control’s dial in a clockwise direction to turn the unit ON, and turn it to the

temperature required. The indicator light will turn on and the unit will start heating to the

temperature required.

5. The indicator light will turn off when the unit has reached desired temperature.

6. Before first use: pour some salad or vegetable oil into the pan together with some water and

bring it to the boil. Leave to boil for 5-7 minutes. Once complete, discard the oil and water

mixture. Clean the inner pan and begin the cooking process. This quick measure will eliminate

any manufacturing odours.

7. To cook: Follow steps 1 to 5 above. Now lift the lid and place the food to be cooked into the

pan. Be careful when inserting the food as the pan is hot and this may cause the food to

splatter. During cooking, the indicator light may cycle on and off indicating that the desired

temperature is being maintained.

8. As a general tip: low settings are ideal for casseroles, stews, steaming and other slow cooking.

High settings are used for browning, shallow frying and grilling. Should you wish to let the food

simmer, turn the temperature to its lowest setting. NOTE: Never turn the unit on without any

food and / or liquid in the pan.

9. Once the food is cooked to your preference, turn the thermostat control’s dial to the “Off” or “0”

position and unplug the unit from the power socket.

NOTE: Be careful when working with the roaster during use, as the pan and lid will be hot.

Following a few general tips can prolong the life of your pan:

1. Always wash the pan and lid as soon as possible after each use.

2. DO NOT pour cold water into a hot pan.

3. Never scrape with hard or sharp utensils when cleaning.

4. DO NOT place the thermostat control/ probe on the pan surface. It may scratch or damage the

finish.

5. DO NOT wash the pan with the thermostat control/ probe connected.

6. Wash the pan after each use to avoid stains caused by a build-up of food or grease residues.

Never leave food in the pan overnight.

7. Hold the unit at a 45° angle, socket side facing upwards so as to wash. This will prevent or at-

least minimize the likelihood of water getting into the socket.

COOKING TIPS

Foods which overcook easily should be removed from the roaster as soon as cooking has been

completed.

Try to dry meat, fish, poultry, etc. before adding to hot oil to prevent unnecessary splattering.

Do not fry too much food at a time in order to prevent the oil temperature from dropping too

dramatically.
