Bob61,
The mini oven your just purchased is 1300watt, which uses 5.65 amps so don`t plug anything else if your on camp sites that only have 6 amp electric hook up or you`ll trip your electrics.

Thank you for that, Griff. I have yet to find a site with only 6 amps although I gather some still exist. I'll bear that in mind.
Well, picked it up today and it's huge! It says it is 19 litres on the box. Could cook a 20lb turkey in it...almost
Tried it out with a bit of toast and it seemed to work ok. It does get very hot though, especially the back. It tells you not to touch the outside so I naturally had to . I will have to make sure it doesn't get anywhere near the side of the tent.
Another question has arisen. Although there is a book with brief instructions it doesn't say what you would need the bottom heater element for specifically. I gather for toasting and grilling you use the top element and for baking you use both, but under what circumstances would you need to use the bottom element on it's own?
