Refer to page 6 for complete instructions.

You do not add water or anything below the roasting pan. You fill your roasting pan 1/2 to 3/4 full with water, place in the empty serving dishes, then preheat at 350 degrees until hot (about 1/2 hour).

Then fill the serving dishes and reduce heat to 250 degrees. You may need to adjust heat and more hot water if necessary.

NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER OVEN BODY

It is possible, but not recommended as it is very difficult to clean. Did you know you can order a new insert pan on the Rival site? They are also occasionally available on EBay.

No water between the roaster and the cooking pan!

If using with the buffet server insert, put a couple inches in tn the cooking pan below the buffet pans.

Here is the manual for additional help:

Putting water BETWEEN THE BASE AND THE REMOVABLE PAN *is like putting water in your crock pot before inserting the porcelain dish and lid. This is dangerous and will destroy the unit. Those who answered "Yes" do not realize that the ? relates to putting water in the electric heating element portion of the pan... DANGEROUS!

call rival and tell them you need the replacement pan

yes
