SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING!
This Roadster 12V Portable Oven, its outer surfaces and contents that have
been in the oven may be hot. Ensure that appropriate precautions are taken
before handling the oven, its outer surfaces or contents
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLY
8.3 Amp / 100 Watts when it is operating fully.
There are three plug configurations to operate your oven: 12V, 50 Amp heavy
duty connector and Merit. This Roadster 12V Portable Oven runs from a 12 volt
power supply only. The oven will draw As most vehicles’ 12V plugs are designed
to take a maximum of 10 Amp, this oven is close to the limit at 8.3 Amp. It is
suggested that you hard wire it to your battery using the50 Amp heavy duty
connector. If you are using the oven regularly or if the 12V socket is old,
worn or loose then there is a higher chance of failure, especially when
driving on rough or uneven ground. The 50 Amp heavy duty connector provides a
superior connection and will reduce the chance of a poor connection heating up
and potentially melting the 12V/Merit plugs. The oven cord is fitted with an
inline 15A blade type fuse as well as a secondary 15A glass type fuse within
the 12V/Merit plug. If either fuse does blow then there is most likely a
problem that you should diagnose and rectify before replacing the fuse.
On the front of the oven is an “ON” indicator light. This light will only
illuminate when the following criteria are met:
- There is power reaching the oven.
- The oven timer is switched “ON” and is counting down, and/or
- The temperature gauge is switched “ON”.
The oven is fitted with a thermostat so if the desired temperature is met then the light will go off, as it is not heating anymore, until the temperature drops and the element comes on.
SETUP
Setting up and installation of your Roadster 12V Portable Oven is simple. Once
you have decided which plug configuration you will be using for your power
supply, simply plug in your Roadster 12V Portable Oven, set your temperature
gauge to the desired temperature, turn the timer switch on for the time you
will need to cook. After preheating the oven, put your food in.
- Your oven comes with a set of mounting brackets that can be used to securely attach it in your vehicle. There are slots at the top and bottom of the oven allowing you to secure it to a shelf or roof of your vehicle. Simply insert the two prongs into the slots in the side of the oven and screw the brackets down. Periodically check the attachment to ensure it has not become loose..
- The mesh shelves can slide in and out of the oven making it easier for you to reach your food. Be aware that the mesh shelves can get very hot and appropriate hand protection should be used when handling them.
- If the oven is ‘rattling’ when you are driving, when the oven and mesh shelves are cool, you can gently pinch down the arms on the sides of the mesh shelves so that they hold tightly onto the arms inside the oven.
- The oven does not require any ventilation at the rear, sides, top or bottom and as such can safely be recessed.
- The oven is insulated on 5 sides using cotton insulation. This should keep the outside temperature below 40˚C, although this can vary depending on the ambient temperature. The door is insulated through a double wall which only allows convection to heat it up.
COOKING
Set your Roadster 12V Portable Oven to the desired temperature with 180°C the approximate maximum temperature. Many modern recipes and instructions provide cooking time for a fan forced oven. As the Roadster 12V Portable Oven is not fan forced it will take longer to create similar results. To achieve the best results, we suggest you preheat the oven for 20-30 minutes, especially if you are cooking with fresh ingredients. To give you a rough idea it will take you about 50 minutes preheating for the oven to get to 150°C. The Roadster 12V Portable Oven’s heat source is on the bottom of the inside of the oven and heat is transferred throughout the oven itself through conduction of the metal and convection in the air.
We recommend that you do not over-fill the oven, which reduces air flow, and that you rotate your food between shelves and on the shelves throughout the cooking time to avoid hot spots. Food in mesh shelves and fo il or similar coverings can be placed directly onto the bottom of the oven. However, you should check it regularly as it is easy to burn food using this method. If you are reheating or cooking frozen food we suggest that you rotate your food between shelves and on the shelves throughout the cooking time to avoid the outside burning before the middle is defrosted.
What you put in the Roadster 12V Portable Oven significantly affects the amount of time it takes to cook. The time required to cook a roast is not always the same. Even in your home it will take 1.5 hours to cook at 1 kg pork roast but it will take 3.5 hours to cook a 3kg roast. So if you put 2 frozen pies into the oven it will take longer than 2 defrosted pies. Similarly, if you put in 4 frozen pies it will also take longer than the 2 frozen ones. A few good rules of thumb are to try not to overload the oven and try to defrost the items before putting them in. Also, rotate them between the top and bottom shelves and the front and back throughout the cook.
CLEANUP
- Always unplug the unit prior to cleaning.
- Do not immerse the unit in any liquid
- When cleaning, use a cloth, brush or sponge with water and mild detergent.
