OO640X OO650X OVEN FUNCTION CONTROL The oven function control is used to select the different functions. Each is explained in detail further in the manual. To select a function, turn the control knob to the desired oven function and then set the temperature with the thermostat control. OVEN THERMOSTAT CONTROL The oven thermostat control is used to select the desired temperature for cooking. When the temperature inside your oven reaches the value set, the thermostat will cut the circuit and the thermostat light will go off. When the temperature falls below the set value, the thermostat will again be turned o n alongside the thermostat light. It is normal for this to occur during the cooking process, particularly when the door has been opened. OVEN TIMER CONTROL The oven timer control is used to either set the oven into manual mode (no timer) or set up a timer ...

If you are going to cook using two trays at the same time, while adjusting the cooking temperature, select t he temperature that is the lowest among the levels suitable for your food of choice. Cooking with two trays requires additional cooking time compared to cooking with one tray. Usually, the food o n each tray does not finish at the same time so you may need to take the tray of cooked food out of the oven, a nd continue the cooking operation for the remaining tray. After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and set the timer to off. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a s afe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot, work near with caution and keep children away from the cooling oven. Conventional Cooking Function (OO650X only) The Conventional function allows heat to radiate evenly from the lower and upper elements into the oven ensuring even cooking of both sides of the food. Adjust the function control so it indicates the conventional Cooking function symbol. Adjust the thermostat control knob of your oven to a temperature recommended o n the cooking table for the cooking operation you wish to perform. Preheating of the oven for about 10 minutes is recommended. Place food in a suitable container, then place into oven and cook for the recommended time. This function is preferred for making cakes (cupcakes, other cakes and sponges), biscuits, pastry, baked pasta ( e.g. lasagne), casseroles and moist dishes, roasts and oven chips. After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and set the timer to off. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it in a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot, work near with ...

Fan Assist Function (OO650X only): This is the function where the heat coming from the lower and upper heating elements is circulated into the oven by the fan motor and blade. Adjust the function control knob so it indicates the Fan Assist Function symbol and adjust the oven timer to the recommended time for cooking. Adjust the thermostat control knob to the temperature required on the cooking table for the Fan Assist Function and preheat oven for 10 minutes. Based on the conventional function, this combination of features increases the effectiveness of the thermal radiation of the heating e lements through forced air circulation of the heat throughout the oven. This helps prevent food from burning on the surface, allowing the heat to penetrate into the food. Food baked using this function, such as pastry often b rown faster than on the conventional function alone. After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and set the timer to off. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot, work near with caution and keep children away from the cooling oven. Maxi‐Grill Function: This function is used for faster grilling and for grills with a lot of food. Adjust the function control knob so it indicates the Maxi‐Grill function symbol. Set the oven’s thermostat control knob to the required temperature. After a preheating period of 10 minutes, put your food into the oven. For grilling, put the food on the rack and sit over the tray. Place the rack on the highest shelf (4). Placing the rack above the oven tray provided will ensure that any marinade, fat or oil dropping from the food will be collected. When grilling, the oven door must be closed. On this function, all of the heating elements/coils of the grill operate. ...

Upper Element with Fan Function (OO650X only): This function is good for reheating small amounts of food or delicate foods by working the fan and the upper heating element at the same time. Adjust the function control knob so it indicates the Upper element with Fan function symbol and adjust the oven timer to the recommended time for cooking. Set the oven’s thermostat control to the required temperature. After a preheating period of 10 minutes, put your food into the oven. Put the food on the rack or the tray. Place the grill/tray on a centre shelf (2‐3). After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and set the timer to off. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot, work near with caution and keep children away from the cooling oven. Lower Element with Fan Function (OO650X only): This Lower Heat with fan function will cook food in a slower more delicate process than the Fan Forced equivalent and is recommended for finishing off the cooking of food (in baking dishes or trays) which is already superficially well‐cooked and golden on the top but still soft inside. This is an ideal function for delicate cooking such as quiches, cheesecakes and custards where limited top browning of the food is required. After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and set the timer to off. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot, work with caution and keep children away from the cooling oven. Maxi‐Grill with Fan Function (OO640X only): This function will ensure complete, fast and all over grilling by working the fan, the grill and the upper h eating element at the same time. Adjust the function control knob so it indicates the Maxi‐Grill with Fan function ...
ACCESSORIES It is recommended that you use the containers indicated depending on the food you will cook in your oven. You can also use glass containers, cake pans and special oven trays suitable for use in your oven (available in kitchenware shops). Pay attention to the information given by the supplier for use of this cookware. The information given below should be implemented for enamelled containers. If the food to be cooked does not completely cover the oven tray, if the food is taken out of the deep‐freezer or if the tray is used to collect the dripping juices of the foods during the grill operation, deformation might be observed on the tray over time due to high temperatures forming during the cooking/baking operation. This is a normal, physical state that results during the heat transfer. Do not leave a glass tray or container in a cold environment immediately after cooking in them. Do not place them on cold and wet surfaces. Ensure that they slowly cool off by placing t hem on a dry piece of cloth or wooden board, otherwise, the glass tray or container might break. If you are going to use your oven to grill, we recommend using the grill rack with the tray on a position below. This w ay, splattering and dripping oils will not make the oven interior dirty. To make cleaning easier, add some water into this tray. In a grilling operation, use the shelf in position 4. WIRE GRIDS AND TRAYS Each wire grid and tray comes with a built‐in safety feature to help minimise them being accidentally pulled fully out. This comes in the way as a “step”, positioned partway in from the rear of the wire rack or tray. To fit them into the oven, push the wire grid or tray part way into the oven until the step “catches”, then angle the part over the step & fully insert. To remove, repeat the process in reverse. ...
TROUBLESHOOTING If the oven does not operate: The oven may be unplugged from the power source or switched off at the power source. The household fuse has blown or household power supply is off. The Timer (if available) may not set correctly. If the oven does not heat: The heat may not be set correctly with the oven’s temperature setting. If the interior lighting lamp does not light: The lamps are defective. If they are defective, you can change them following the instructions within t his manual. Cooking (if lower‐upper part does not cook equally): Control the shelf locations, cooking period and heat values according to the manual.

COOKING GUIDES For optimum cooking keep edges of baking dishes and pans at least 4cm from the sides of the oven. T his allows free heat circulation and ensures even cooking. Where possible remove large cuts of meat 1kg or over from the fridge 1 hour prior to cooking. Allow, t o stand covered and away from direct sun/heat. This process will take the “chill” of the fridge away from t he food and assist in more even cooking. Oven Shelf Location Your Omega oven has five positions of racks for the oven shelves to be positioned depending on your choice of cooking function and size of roasting dishes or containers. These are numbered from 1 (the lowest shelf position) to 4 (the highest shelf position). See diagram in oven manual. To obtain maximum space above and below the shelves, it is recommended that you position trays and dishes i n the following way: When using only 1 shelf, use position/rack 2 or 3 (That’s oven shelf position). When using 2 shelves, use position/rack 1 and 3. Cooking Pizza For the best results when cooking pizza use the Fan forced with Lower Heat Element function. Preheat t he oven for at least 10 minutes. Use a non‐stick pizza pan, ideally one with holes in the base specifically for pizza cooking. ...

Grilling Cooking times may vary according to the nature of the foods, their homogeneity and their volume. When cooking a certain food for the first time, it is advisable to choose the lowest temperature and then increase temperature as required. Cakes and Baking Organize the oven shelves while the oven is cold and before preparing a recipe. When baking follow the directions in the recipe however if in doubt as a general rule the food (e.g. cake) is positioned on a shelf that will have the top o f the cake surface as near to the centre of the oven as possible. Preheat oven before preparing the cake or baked items as some baked food does not like to sit waiting for the oven to reach the required temperature. For best results the baked food should go straight into the preheated oven at the correct temperature. ...
