The Wanderer Roadster Portable Oven is a heavy-duty 12V portable oven designed for outdoor and camping use, offering a convenient way to cook or reheat food on the go. It is built with a robust stainless steel insulated housing, including door insulation, to maintain internal temperatures efficiently.
Function Description:
The primary function of the Wanderer Roadster Portable Oven is to provide a portable cooking solution using a 12-volt power supply. It operates as a non-fan-forced oven, heating food through conduction from its bottom-mounted heat source and convection within the air inside the oven. It is suitable for cooking, reheating, and defrosting various food items.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Power Supply: 12V DC
- Power Consumption: 8.3 Amp / 100 Watts (when operating fully)
- Temperature Range: Adjustable from 80°C to 180°C (approximate maximum)
- Oven Timer: Adjustable from 20 to 120 minutes with an audible alarm function
- Fuse Type: 15A Blade Type (inline fuse) and a secondary 15A glass type fuse within the 12V/Merit plug

- Casing: Stainless Steel
- Overall Sizes (Exterior): L320 x W310 x H195mm
- Overall Sizes (Interior): L267 x W250 x H100mm
- Net Weight: 6.00kg
- Plug Configurations: Three options – standard 12V input, 50 Amp heavy-duty connector, and Merit plug.
Usage Features:
- Adjustable Temperature Control: The oven features a temperature gauge that allows users to set the desired cooking temperature up to 180°C. A thermostat controls the heating element, turning it off once the set temperature is reached and back on when the temperature drops.
- Adjustable Timer: A timer switch allows for cooking durations from 20 to 120 minutes, complete with an audible alarm to signal completion.
- Power Indicator Light: An "ON" indicator light illuminates when power is supplied, the timer is active, and/or the temperature gauge is switched on.
- Multiple Power Connections: The oven comes with three plug configurations (12V, 50 Amp heavy-duty connector, and Merit) to ensure compatibility with various vehicle setups. For regular use or in older/loose 12V sockets, hardwiring to the battery using the 50 Amp heavy-duty connector is recommended to prevent overheating and potential melting of plugs.
- Removable Mesh Shelves: Two removable mesh shelves are included, allowing for flexible arrangement of food and easier access. Users are advised to use appropriate hand protection when handling hot shelves.
- Mounting Brackets: Two stainless steel mounting brackets are provided for securely attaching the oven to a shelf or roof in a vehicle. The brackets insert into slots on the side of the oven and are screwed down. Periodic checks are recommended to ensure the attachment remains secure.
- Insulated Design: The oven is insulated on five sides with cotton, aiming to keep the external temperature below 40°C, although this can vary with ambient temperature. The door is double-walled for insulation.
- Preheating Recommendation: For best results, especially with fresh ingredients, preheating the oven for 20-30 minutes is suggested. It can take approximately 50 minutes to reach 150°C.
- Cooking Guidelines: As a non-fan-forced oven, cooking times may be longer than modern fan-forced recipes. It is recommended not to over-fill the oven to ensure proper air flow and to rotate food between shelves and front-to-back to avoid hot spots and ensure even cooking. Food can be placed directly on the bottom of the oven, but regular checking is advised to prevent burning. When cooking frozen food, rotating items between shelves and defrosting them beforehand is recommended to prevent the outside from burning before the inside is defrosted.
- Rattle Prevention: If the oven rattles during driving, the arms on the sides of the mesh shelves can be gently pinched down when cool to ensure a tighter fit.
- Ventilation: The oven does not require ventilation at the rear, sides, top, or bottom and can be safely recessed.
- Fuse Protection: The power cord is fitted with an inline 15A blade type fuse, and the 12V/Merit plug contains a secondary 15A glass type fuse, providing protection against electrical issues.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning: Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
- Cleaning Method: Use a cloth, brush, or sponge with water and mild detergent.
- Avoid Immersion: Do not immerse the unit in any liquid.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use metal scouring pads for cleaning.
- Fuse Replacement: In case of a blown fuse, diagnose and rectify the underlying problem before replacing the fuse. The oven features a 15A replaceable inline fuse for protection.
