Operating Your Oven
Oven Lamp
The internal halogen lamp illuminates the oven
cavity, allowing for safe observation of the cooking
process. This is ideal for when you are finished
using a cooking program, but wish to leave the
dish inside the oven to cook further with residual
heat. Note the lamp is active for all oven functions.
Defrost
The defrost function uses a fan to circulate
room temperature air throughout the oven
cavity. This allows for quick, gentle and thorough
thawing of frozen food without the use of heating
elements that might otherwise unevenly cook
or burn the surface of frozen foods.
Lower Element
Range: 60–120°C. Heat concentrates from
the bottom element only. Note the fan will
not be activated. This function is ideal for food
such as pastries, pizzas or lasagne that require
a particularly crispy base, but also require their
top surface to be gently cooked.
Bake (Conventional)
Range: 50–250°C. Both top and bottom elements
work together to provide an even heating of food.
Ideal for cooking baked goods such as breads,
cakes or cookies as well as egg-based dishes
such as quiche or custards. As always, preheat
your oven to the set temperature for best results.
Fan Bake
Range: 50–250°C. Fan forced air combined with
the top and bottom elements distribute heat
quickly and evenly, saving energy. Suitable for
dishes placed on two shelves that require a
short cooking time, such as pastries, cakes and
biscuits; set at a low temperature to dehydrate.
Grill*
Range: 180–240°C. Heat radiates from the top
element of the oven only. Ideal for browning the
tops of dishes, such as tender cuts of meat, melts
and toast. All of the grill functions are designed to
pair well with the rotisserie accessory. Preheating
the oven for 25 minutes allows for the best results.
Full Grill*
Range: 180–240°C. Both the inner radiant and top
grill elements provide evenly distributed heat.
Used for cooking, browning or caramelising food
such as steaks, vegetables, toasties and casserole
dishes for a cooked centre and crispy surface.
Preheat your oven for 25 minutes for best results.
Full Grill & Fan*
Range: 180–240°C. Fan forced air with both of the
grill elements distributes heat quickly and evenly,
saving energy. Cooks, browns and caramelises
larger amounts of food quickly and evenly, and
works best with meat, vegetable and casserole
dishes. Preheat for 25 minutes for best results.
Fan-Forced (Convection)
Range: 50–240°C. A fan element circulates air
quickly, distributing heat evenly within the oven
cavity. This function is suitable for large family
dinners such as roasts, vegetables or other types
of food which require a tender, juicy inside and
crispy, caramelised outside.

Before First Use
Before using your new Omega oven for the first time, please
read this manual thoroughly, even if you are familiar with this
type of appliance. Pay particular attention to the chapters
‘Safety Information’, ‘Installation Instructions’ and operating
instructions for both the cooktop and oven.
After the appliance has been properly installed, and
before first use, you should burn off any dust, oil or other
remnants that may have been left inside the cavity from
the manufacturing process. Run the empty oven with the
conventional cooking function at 250°C for 90 minutes.
