Frequently Asked Questions - RO160 Rival

How do I set the timer on my Rival RO160 oven?

Turn the timer dial clockwise to the desired minutes (up to 60). A bell will ring when time expires. To set less than 10 minutes, turn past 10 then back.

Can I use aluminum foil in the oven?

Yes, but avoid covering the entire rack or contacting heating elements. Use foil only on the baking pan to catch drips.

Why is my oven not heating?

Check that the oven is plugged in and the timer is set. Ensure the function selector is on a heating mode (Bake/Broil/Toast). If still not heating, contact customer support.

How do I clean the crumb tray?

Slide out the crumb tray from the bottom front of the oven. Wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry completely before replacing.

Can I bake a 12-inch pizza in this oven?

Yes, the RO160 can accommodate a 12-inch pizza. Place directly on the wire rack for crispier crust. Check at minimum recommended time.

What does the 'Keep Warm' function do?

The Keep Warm function maintains a low temperature (around 150°F) to keep cooked food hot without overcooking. Use after baking or roasting.

Is the oven door removable for cleaning?

No, the door is not removable. Clean the interior and door glass with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Why does the oven turn off before the timer ends?

The oven may have an automatic shut-off safety feature. If overheating or if the timer is set incorrectly, it may shut off. Ensure vents are clear and reset the timer.

Can I use metal pans in this oven?

Yes, metal pans are safe. Avoid pans that extend beyond the rack to prevent touching heating elements. Glass and ceramic are also suitable.

How do I adjust the temperature if my food is undercooked?

Increase the temperature setting by 25°F for the next attempt. Also check that the oven is preheated fully. Oven temperature may vary; an oven thermometer can help.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR ROASTER OVENS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse roaster base, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate roaster oven with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Contact Rival's Consumer Service Department (see warranty) to return for examination, repair or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Rival may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. CAUTION: Steam escaping from under cover or food warming pans is hot and can cause burns.
13. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.

14. Use oven mitts to remove the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN from the roaster oven; or to remove a baking pan or cooked food from the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN.

15. To disconnect, turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

16. Some countertop surfaces such as Corian® and other surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. We recommend placing a hot plate or trivet under your Rival® product to prevent possible damage to the surface.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• These appliances are for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
- No user-serviceable parts inside. Do NOT attempt to repair or adjust any electrical or mechanical functions on this unit. Doing so will void the Warranty.
- Do not immerse base in water or other liquid.
- A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.

POLARIZED PLUG

Black and white illustration of a two-pin electrical plug (no text or symbols)

These appliances have polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, these plugs are intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to modify the plugs in any way. If the plugs fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

1. Carefully unpack the Roaster Oven and remove all packaging materi
2. Wash the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN, REMOVABLE ROASTING RAC REMOVABLE SERVING DISHES (select models only), REMOVABLE SERVING DISH FRAME (select models only), and LID in hot, soapy w using a sponge or soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly. Wipe dry.
3. Clean the outside of the ROASTER OVEN BODY with a soft cloth ar warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

NOTE: Due to the manufacturing process, some smoke and odor may I noticed during the first use. This should disappear after the first heating Roaster Oven.

TIPS FOR ROASTING

• Always use the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN in the roaster oven when cooking.
  NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER OVEN BOE
• Use caution when removing or lifting the LID as steam is vented along the seam on the top of the LID.
• Significant amounts of heat escape whenever the LID is removed. Instead of removing the LID to check on your food, grasp LID HANDLE and lift just enough to check on or taste the food.
  Exercise caution when using this feature, as steam may escape.

- To use the LID REST feature, hold the LID upright by the HANDLE and place the edge of the LID under the metal tabs just above either side HANDLE.

- Convenience foods can be baked in the Roaster Oven. Place container on ROASTING RACK. Follow package directions.

TIPS FOR ROASTING (CONT.)

• Meats roasted in your Roaster Oven will be moist and tender. For additional browning, brush oil or butter over the meat before cooking. In addition, cooking the meat in a traditional oven at 450°. For on Broil for the last 20-30 minutes will result in better browning.
• To create a darker roasted, crispier skin poultry, do not add liquids (with the exception of the basting butter or oil) until there are only 30 minutes left of cooking. Cooking at a higher temperature will result in a faster cooking time, i.e. 375 °F instead of 325 °F.

TIPS FOR USING THE REMOVABLE SERVING DISHES (SELECTMODELS)

CAUTION: Temperature of foods should be kept at 150 °F or above.

• The REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN and REMOVABLE SERVING DISH FRAME must be in place when using the REMOVABLE SERVING DISHES.

COOKING TIME AND TEMPERATURE

DETERMINING MEAT DONENESS

It is recommended that you use a meat thermometer to determine doneness when cooking meat and poultry. Insert the thermometer into the center of the thickest portion of the meat. Cook until temperature for desired doneness is reached.

MEAT	RARE	MEDIUM	WELL DONE
BEEF	140°F	160°F	170°F
PORK	*	160°F	170°F
LAMB	140°F	160°F	170°F
SMOKEDHAMCook before eatingFully cooked	*		160°F140°F
POULTRYRoasting ChickenTurkey	*		180°F180°F

*Rare pork, ham or poultry is not recommended.

ROASTING MEATS AND POULTRY

Meats will cook more rapidly in the Roaster Oven than a conventional oven. Reducing temperature and increasing time will result in a browner, crispier crust. Times indicated below are approximate and should be used as a guideline only.

SLOW COOKING

Slow cooking is best for less tender cuts of meat. Heat is gradual with slow cooking and stirring is not necessary. Avoid removing the LID during slow cooking, because heat escapes and may increase the cooking time. When using a standard roasting recipe, slow cook 1 1/2 hours at the 250 °F setting for every 30 minutes of roasting.

BAKING\*

• Always place baking pans on the ROASTING RACK. Do not place pans on bottom of REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN.
• We recommend that you use metal pans in the Roaster Oven, because they provide better heat transfer and browning.
