Features of Your GVA Convection Oven
Your convection oven is a multifunction cooker, it can be used as the following:
• Standard Oven • Slow Cooker
• Grill • Toaster Oven
• Broiler Oven • Rotisserie
• Deep Fryer • Electric Frying Pan
• Microwave Oven • Electric Steamer
Lowering cholesterol
Modern medical science has proved that high cholesterol accounts for heart disease
and blood vessel trouble. The hot moving air cycle in the convection oven works to
decompose the fat tissue and lower the cholesterol content to a minimum. By lowering
the fat content and cholesterol your convection oven is the healthier way to cook your
meals.
Saving time and energy
Due to the high efficiency of the hot moving air in the oven, the cooking time and
energy consumption are reduced. Our testing shows that the convection oven saves
up to 20% of electricity as compared to ordinary ovens, whilst cooking your food in
less time.
Preserving the food’s nutrition and natural flavor.
High temperatures and prolonged cooking time can destroy the food’s nutrition and
change its natural flavor. The temperature and time control along with the ovens
cooking methods ensure that the nutritional value and natural flavors are retained.
Hot moving air circulates around the food, this tornado like air flow cooks
the food evenly. Meanwhile meat sears quickly on the outside, while locking in the
natural juices on the inside, releasing only the fat and cholesterol.
Easy to Operate
Just set the time and temperature, then add the food. The glass bowl is removable,
making it easy to clean. The GVA Halogen Oven includes a digital timer and 5 handy
cooking pre-sets to save you time and simplify cooking even further.
Before using your oven for the first time
Read the safety instructions in this manual before operating. Before using this
appliance for the first time, follow steps below:
1. Remove all packing materials and literature from the oven. Make sure that the oven
is in good condition and there are no missing parts or damage to the glass bowl.
2. Select a flat, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface to operate the Convection Oven on.
3. Wash the glass bowl in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before
use.
4. NEVER submerge the lid unit in water or any other liquid. Only the glass bowl and
racks are dishwasher safe.
5. Before first use, turn on the empty Convection Oven, heating at maximum temperature
for 5 minutes. This will eliminate any odours from within the oven, and also burn off any
excess lubricants that may have been used in the manufacturing process.
6. Allow the appliance to cool to room temperature.
7. Wipe the inside of the glass bowl with a damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads.
NOTE: A slight amount of smoke and a burning smell may be emitted during the first few
uses. Do not be alarmed, this is normal.

How to use your Halogen Digital Convection Oven
How to Roast
Place food directly on the low rack. Using the low rack for roasting is recommended as
is ensure the food is cooked more evely both inside and out, without burning the foods
exterior. Using the high rack allows food to be positioned closer to heat source for
crisping, browning or for foods to be cooked "well done".
It is not necessary to use oil for roasting, but you may do so for foods that tend to
become dry in an oven.
Roasting time may vary depending on the type of meat or other food, type of
cut, amount of fat, thickness and/or weight of the item.
It is recommended that you flip your food halfway through the cooking cycle to ensure that
it is cooked through evenly.
How to Bake
Use any oven-proof baking dish, preferably nonstick, that will fit comfortably inside the
oven. Place it on the low rack. Take special care in baking, as desserts are especially
delicate and easy to overcook. Lower the temperature slightly and turn the baking dish
around if too much browning occurs in one area.
How to Broil
Place the food directly on the wire rack (low or high rack depending on the cut).
For very thick cuts of meat, turn the food over at the halfway point. Like roasting, broiling
time may vary depending on cut, size, amount of fat, etc.
How to Steam
You can steam vegetables at the same time you cook your main dish by placing the
vegetables in an aluminum foil pouch, and then adding a few drops of water before
sealing the pouch.
You can also add a cup of water with savory herbs and spices into the bottom glass bowl,
to steam fish or vegetables.
How to Fry
You can get the effect of deep-fried Chips without all the oil, by dipping potato strips in
polyunsaturated cooking oil. The excess oil will drip away while cooking for healthier Chips!
To make delicious fried chicken, dip chicken pieces firstly in batter and then in cooking oil.
The excess oil will drip away while cooking for healthier Chicken!
How to Defrost
You can use the convection oven to defrost frozen foods more evenly than
a microwave ovens, simply set the temperature at 100°C and check the food
every 5-10 minutes.
Cooking Food
1. Before cooking, it is suggested that you spray the inside of your convection oven
(and racks etc) with a nonstick product first (eg spray cooking oil).
2. Place the glass cooking bowl securely onto the stand ensuring it is placed centrally
and sits securely.
3. Position the cooking rack in the glass bowl. The type of rack used will be dependent
on the type of food being cooked. The high rack is best for grilling, broiling, crisping
or cooking well done cuts of meat. The low rack is best for baking, roasting etc. You
can also cook using both racks as shown in the picture below.
4. Once the food has been placed onto the rack, lower the lid onto the glass cooking
bowl, ensuring the lid sits inside the rim of the bowl.
5. Plug into the wall socket and switch on. The digital display will show “1:00”, if you
press the temperature button, it will show 60°C.
6. Choose one of the preset settings and press confirm. Or set the required
temperature and time by pressing the temperature and /or timer followed by the up
and down buttons to the required cooking time and temperature, then press the
confirm button to proceed to the next stage.
NOTE: The maximum temperature setting is 250°C and maximum cooking time is 3
hours. You can adjust the cooking time or temperature at any point during the cooking
process.
NOTE: For convenience, the temperature can be displayed as Celsius and Fahrenheit,
by simply pressing the temperature button to cycle through the display options.
Using the Extender Ring
The use of the extender ring will ensure better all-round cooking as it increases the
distance between the cooking element and the food. It is ideal for roasting and baking
food (like roast meats, cakes etc) where special care needs to be taken to ensure the
outside of the food is not burnt but the inside is properly cooked.
In order to connect the extender ring you need to increase the length of the ‘neck’.
To do this you press ‘Neck Extender’ button to extend the neck of the oven, and then
place the extender ring on the glass bowl to increase the capacity or to cook food
slower. Once the extender ring is in place, close the lid by lowering it onto the bowl,
ensuring that it is correctly centred at the same time. Once the lid is on correctly you
can continue to use the appliance as normal.
Cleaning your oven
The glass cooking bowl can be cleaned using the self-cleanse option.
1. Add some warm water to the glass cooking bowl ensuring it is no more than a few
centimetres in depth.
2. Add a small amount of mild detergent.
3. Set the temperature to 80°C and the timer to 10 minutes.
4. Press the confirm button and the oven will start the cleaning process.
5. The fan from the convection oven will swirl the water and this will clean off most stains.
If you would prefer to manually clean your oven:
1. Turn off your oven and allow it to cool down completely.
2. Use a clean sponge or dishcloth with a small amount of dishwashing liquid and warm
water to wipe the bowl clean
3. Clean the racks in a similar fashion to the bowl.
NOTE: Never immerse the Lid in liquid to clean.
7. Once the time and temperature has been selected, press the confirm button. A
beep will sound, the oven fan will start and the halogen convection oven light will
glow illuminating the contents of the bowl.
NOTE: The internal halogen lamp will cycle between bright and dim during cooking to
show that the set cooking temperature is being maintained.
8. If you are required to pause cooking, simply press the Clear/Pause button. The
unit will stop until the Clear/Pause button is pressed again.
9. If a program needs to be changed or restarted, simply hold down the Clear/Pause
button for 2 seconds. The program will return to the default setting and you can
then restart your cooking process
10. At the end of the cooking time, the oven will beep, cooking will cease and the
halogen lamp will switch off. Depending on the temperature of the unit, the fan
may remain on in order to dissipate the remaining heat helping prolong the life of
the unit.
Ensure that you use the supplied tongs, heat resistant mitts or other appropriate
utensils to remove the food from the appliance. Do not touch the food or the appliance
or any of the internal accessories as they may be extremely hot.
Using the Delay Settings
The delay function allows you to delay the start of the cooking. Note: The unit must
be in standby mode i.e. plugged in with the main socket turned on.
First, set the temperature and time required as mentioned above. Then press the
DELAY button, the default setting is 6:00 (6 hours). Simply press the UP/DOWN
button to select the desired time to lapse prior to starting. Once selected, press the
CONFIRM button 2 times to start the countdown.
Note: The maximum delay time is 19 hours 50 minutes.
The Delay Time will be displayed and the indicator light of “TIME” will be on and the
delay time will begin to count down. The oven will turn on when it counts down to the
cooking time.
Care must be taken when using this feature so you do not create a health hazard by
placing food that will spoil during the delay time (e.g. fresh chicken and other meats
should NEVER be left at room temperature for more than a few minutes), so as not
to risk food poisoning by allowing bacteria to breed in the oven while it is in the delay
period.
