How To Use And Care For Your 6 Qt. NESCO®
Roaster Oven Before Using The First Time
1. Unpack your NESCO Roaster oven completely and REMOVE ALL
PACKAGING MATERIAL AND INFORMATION LABELS. Place the
Roaster Oven in a WELL VENTILATED AREA ON A HEAT
RESISTANT SURFACE. Set the control dial to its minimum setting.
Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Return control to
maximum setting (425ºF). Operate the Roaster Oven empty
(without the Cookwell or Cover) for approximately 60 minutes, or
until any odor or smoking disappear. Some smoke and odor are a
normal part of “curing” the element and will not reoccur in
cooking use. When curing is completed, turn the temperature
control to its lowest setting, unplug the unit from the electrical
outlet and allow to cool.
2. Wash the Cover, Cookwell and Rack in warm sudsy water, then
rinse and dry. Refer to complete cleaning instructions on next page.
NON-STICK COOKWELL: When curing your Roaster Oven with a
non-stick Cookwell, we recommend that it be operated WITHOUT THE
COVER AND COOKWELL. Do this in a covered outside area or other
well-ventilated area. After curing and cleaning, and before cooking
in your non-stick Cookwell for the first time, lightly coat the interior
of the Cookwell with vegetable oil.
To Operate Your Roaster Oven
1. Place the Cookwell into the Heatwell. Always use the Cookwell for
food. NEVER PLACE FOOD DIRECTLY IN THE HEATWELL.
2. Preheating is recommended. To preheat, place the Cookwell into
the Heatwell and cover. Set the control dial to its minimum setting.
Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet. Reset the temperature control
to desired temperature. Preheat 20 minutes. Carefully, using hot
pads, add food to the Cookwell.
3. The Rack may be used for baking or fat-free roasting. Other foods,
such as soups and stews, are prepared without the Rack.
4. Replace the Cover. Always cook with the Cover in place.
5. If the Roaster Oven has not been preheated, turn the temperature
control to its lowest setting. Plug the cord into a 120 volt AC outlet.
