Oven & Accessories

The oven is supplied with chrome wire shelf supports, a baking / grill tray and a removable grill insert. There are five shelf positions in the oven.

Attention: The oven comes with a soft close door feature which will only operate correctly when sufficient initial force is applied when closing. Should insufficient force be applied, the door may need to be closed manually.

How to use your oven

This fan forced oven is an extremely versatile appliance that allows you to choose easily and safely between different cooking modes. The various cooking modes are selected by means of a cooking mode selection knob, located on the control panel.

To operate the oven:

• Ensure that manual mode or timer is selected.
• Turn the cooking mode selection knob to the desired cooking mode (explanation of cooking modes).
• Turn the cooking temperature selection knob to the desired temperature (cooking guide is on page 16) or to ‘MAX’ if Grilling.
• The first time you use your appliance, we recommend that you set the thermostat to the highest setting, set the cooking mode selection knob to a cooking mode and leave the oven on for about half an hour with nothing in it and the oven door closed. Then, open the oven door and allow the oven to cool. Any odour that may be detected during this initial use is due to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage.

Note: Place tray on the bottom shelf position of the oven to prevent any spillages from dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel. Only place your cookware (dishes, trays, aluminum foil, etc.) on the oven shelves provided with the appliance.

If supplied, use the chrome wire handle shown left when removing the trays from the oven.

Positioning the oven trays & shelves

The Grill Tray or Oven Shelf can be located in any of the five height positions in the oven. Refer to the ‘Cooking Guide Table’ for the recommended shelf position. When fitting the trays or shelves, ensure they are fitted between the two wires that are closest together as shown below.

Oven Shelves have a stop so that they are not fully withdrawn by accident. To fully remove the Oven Shelves, lift the front of the shelf slightly and withdraw fully from the oven. Note that the Grill Tray does not have a stop position and can be fully withdrawn without interruption, so be careful not to accidentally fully withdraw the tray.

Fit Trays and Shelves between bars as shown right.

To remove the Oven Shelf Support, push down on the wire below the top locking pin, pull away from the oven wall until you can release the top of the support from the holes in the oven wall. Replace in reverse procedure.

Chrome Wire Shelf Support

Grill mode
Select ‘Grill’ mode with cooking mode selection knob and turn cooking temperature selection knob to ‘Max’. When set to Grill mode, the top inner element operates. The extremely high and direct temperature of the grill makes it possible to brown the surface of meats and roasts while locking the juices in to keep them tender. Grill mode can also be used for dishes that require a high temperature on the surface such as beef steaks, veal, rib steak, filets, hamburgers, etc.
Grill food with the oven door closed.

Fan assisted grill mode
Select ‘Fan Assisted Grill’ mode with cooking mode selection knob and turn cooking temperature selection knob to the desired temperature setting. When set to Fan Assisted Grill mode, the top inner element and the fan operate. This mode increases the circulation of air throughout the oven, which helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate right into the food. Particularly suitable for kebabs made with meats and vegetables, sausages, ribs, lamb chops, chicken, quail, pork chops, fish steaks, stuffed cuttlefish etc.
In Fan Assisted Grill mode, grill with the oven door closed.

Fan forced mode
When set to ‘Fan Forced’ mode, the fan element and the fan operate providing a delicate heat distributed uniformly throughout the oven.
This mode is ideal for baking and cooking delicate foods on multiple shelves, especially cakes that need to rise such as cream puffs and for certain tartlets, sweet or savoury biscuits, savoury puffs, swiss rolls and small portions of vegetables, etc.

Defrost mode
When set to ‘Defrost’ mode, the fan located at the back of the oven circulates room temperature air around the food. This is recommended for the defrosting of all types of food, but in particular for delicate types of food which do not require heat, for example: ice cream cakes, cream or custard desserts, fruit cakes, etc. By using
‘Defrost’ mode, the defrosting time is approximately halved.

Mechanical timer
The Mechanical Timer automatically controls when the oven turns off. It cannot automatically switch the oven on, only off. To insure tension is kept on the spring, turn the timer knob to 120min setting and then back to the required cooking time.
The timer can be set between 10mins and 120mins.
At the end of the selected time period, the timer will sound and automatically turn off the oven.

To operate the oven manually, set the timer to by turning anti-clockwise from the off (0) position.

NOTE: When the timer is in the 12 o’clock (off) position, the oven will not operate.

The oven light
Set the cooking mode selection knob to the symbol to switch on the oven light. The oven light remains on when the oven is operating.

Cooling ventilation
In order to cool down the exterior of the appliance, this model is equipped with a cooling fan, which switches on automatically.
When the cooling fan is on, you will notice a flow of air exiting between the oven door and the control panel.
Note: When cooking is finished, the cooling fan continues to operate until the oven cools down and then switches off automatically.

PRACTICAL COOKING ADVICE
The oven offers a range of settings which allow you to cook any type of food in the best possible way. With time you will learn to make the best use of this versatile cooking appliance and the following directions are only a guideline which may be varied according to your own personal experience.

Preheating
If the oven needs to be preheated, the ‘Fan Forced’ mode should be selected. This is the most efficient mode, which will reach the desired temperature as quickly as possible using the least amount of energy.
Once the food has been placed in the oven, the desired cooking mode can then be selected.

Multi shelf cooking
If you want to cook food on several shelves, select the ‘Fan Forced’ mode as this is the only cooking mode that allows you to do so.
When cooking delicate foods on more than one shelf, use the ‘Fan Forced’ mode. This mode allows you to cook on 3 shelves at the same time. Refer to the ‘Cooking Guide’ table.

Using the grill
This multi-function oven has 2 different grilling modes.

Use the ‘Grill’ mode with the oven door closed, place the food on the centre of the grill pan, insert and fit the grill pan on either the 3rd or 4th shelf from the bottom.
Note: only the central part of the top heating element operates for grilling.

When using ‘Grill’ mode, we recommend you set the thermostat to the highest setting. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Use ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode with the oven door closed. This mode is very useful for grilling foods rapidly, as the distribution of heat by the fan makes it possible not only to brown the surface, but also to cook the bottom of the food. It can also be used for browning foods at the end of the cooking process, such as adding that gratin finish to pasta bakes for example. When using ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode, place the food on the 2nd or 3rd oven shelf from the bottom, then place a dripping-pan on the 1st rack from the bottom to prevent fat and grease from dripping onto the oven floor. We recommend you set the thermostat to 200°C, as it is the most efficient temperature for ‘Fan assisted grill’ mode. However, this does not mean you cannot use lower temperatures, simply adjust the thermostat knob to the desired temperature.

Important: for best results and to save energy, always use the ‘Fan assisted grill’ with the oven door closed.

Baking cakes
When baking cakes ,always place them in a preheated oven. Make sure you wait until the oven has been preheated thoroughly (the indicator light will turn off). To prevent heat loss and the cake from dropping, do not open the oven door during baking.

In general…

if pastry is too dry
Increase the temperature by 10°C and reduce the cooking time.
if pastry has dropped
Use less liquid or lower the temperature by 10°C.
if pastry is too dark on top
Place it on a lower shelf, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
if cooked well on the inside but sticky on the outside
Use less liquid, lower the temperature, and increase the cooking time.
if the pastry sticks to the pan
Grease the pan well and sprinkle it with a dusting of flour or use greaseproof paper.
if I used multi shelf cooking and one shelf is more cooked
Use a lower temperature setting next time. It is not necessary to remove the food from all the racks at the same time.

Cooking pizza

• For best results when cooking pizza, use the ‘Fan Forced’ mode
• Preheat the oven for at least 10 minutes.
• Use a light aluminum pizza pan, placing it on the shelf supplied with the oven. Don’t use the dripping pan since this will extend the cooking time, making it difficult to get a crispy crust.
• Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking;
• If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three or four), we recommend you add the mozzarella cheese on top halfway through the cooking process.
• For best results, only use one shelf at a time, but it you want to cook on two shelves, use the 2nd and 4th racks from the bottom with a temperature of 220°C and swap them halfway through cooking.

Cooking fish and meat

When cooking white meat, fowl and fish, use a temperature setting from 180°C to 200°C.

For red meat that you want well done on the outside while tender and juicy in the inside, it is best to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down afterwards.
In general, the larger the roast, the lower the temperature setting.

Place the meat on the centre of the shelf and place the dripping pan beneath it to catch the fat. Make sure that the shelf is inserted so that it is in the centre of the oven. If you would like to increase the amount of heat from below, use a lower shelf height. For savoury roasts (especially duck and wild game), dress the meat with lard or bacon on the top.

Cooking guide

Note: Cooking times are approximate and may vary according to personal taste. When cooking using the grill or fan assisted grill, the dripping pan must always be placed on the 1st oven shelf from the bottom.

Cleaning and maintenance

Before cleaning your oven or performing maintenance, make sure that the cooking mode selection knob is set to ‘OFF’ and the cooking temperature selection knob is set to ‘OFF’. To extend the life of your oven, it must be cleaned frequently.
The enamelled or stainless steel parts should be washed with lukewarm water without using any abrasive powders or corrosive substances. If any stainless steel has difficult to remove stains, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean stainless steel. After cleaning any surface, it is advisable to rinse thoroughly and dry.

The inside of the oven should preferably be cleaned immediately after use, when it is still warm (but not hot), with warm water and soap. The soap should be rinsed away and the interior dried thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive detergents, scourers acidic cleaners such as lime scale remover, etc. as these could damage the enamel. If stains are particularly tough to remove, use cleaners specifically recommended to clean ovens and follow the instructions provided with the cleaner. Never use a steam cleaner or caustic oven cleaners for cleaning inside the oven.

If you operate your oven for an extended period of time, or if you are cooking dishes that contain a lot of water, condensation may form on the oven door. Dry it using a soft cloth and try reducing the cooking temperature.

There is a seal surrounding the oven opening which is necessary to ensure the correct operation of the oven. Check the condition of this seal on a regular basis. If necessary, clean it but avoid using abrasive products or objects to do so. Should it become damaged, please contact Glen Dimplex Service Department. We recommend you avoid using the oven until it has been repaired.

Never place anything (including foil and oven trays) on the bottom of the oven when it is in operation because this could damage the enamel.

Clean the glass door using non-abrasive products or sponges and dry it with a soft cloth.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven door glass since they can scratch the surface, which may result in shattering of the glass. Use only non caustic oven cleaners purchased from hardware stores or supermarkets.

How to remove the oven door
