This document is an instruction manual for the Omega 90CM Built-In Electric Oven, covering models OBO960XTGG, OBO960X, OBO960X1, and OBO960XB. It provides essential information for installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting, emphasizing safety and optimal performance.
Function Description
The Omega 90CM Built-In Electric Oven is designed for domestic household use, primarily for cooking food. It offers a range of cooking functions, including:
- Light Only: Illuminates the oven interior.
- Conventional: Utilizes both lower and upper heating elements for even heat distribution, suitable for baking cakes, biscuits, pastry, baked pasta, casseroles, roasts, and oven chips. Preheating for about 10 minutes is recommended.
- Steam Clean: Uses the lower heating element to generate steam, helping to loosen oils and dried food from the oven interior. Requires 0.5L of water in a tray at the bottom of the oven, run at 70°C for 30 minutes.
- Upper Element: Activates the upper heating element for grilling, ideal for toasting bread, cheese melts, browning dishes, and finishing off food. The oven door must be closed during this function.
- Maxi-Grill: Engages both upper heating elements for faster grilling and larger quantities of food. Suitable for browning meat (lamb/pork chops, cutlets), chicken, seafood (fish fillets, tuna steaks, Atlantic salmon), and crumb-topped dishes. The oven door must be closed.
- Maxi-Grill with Fan: Combines the grill element, upper heating element, and fan for complete, fast, and all-over grilling, achieving crispy skin on chicken and lightly browned meats/seafood. The oven door must be closed.
- Fan Assist: Circulates heat from the lower and upper heating elements using a fan, preventing food from burning on the surface and ensuring heat penetrates the food. Often results in faster browning for pastry compared to conventional cooking.
- Fan Forced: Uses a turbo heater and fan at the back of the oven to evenly disperse heat, suitable for cooking multiple dishes on various shelves simultaneously. Preheating for about 10 minutes is recommended. When cooking with two trays, select the lowest suitable temperature and expect longer cooking times.
- Defrost: Uses the fan to circulate air, helping to defrost frozen food without cooking it. Food should be placed on a wire rack with an oven tray below to collect melting water.
The oven features a control panel with a function control knob, a thermostat control knob, and a 3-button touch timer. The timer allows for time of day adjustment, minute minder setting, cooking duration timer, and fully automatic (delayed start) timer functions. A child lock feature prevents unauthorized adjustments to timer functions.

Maintenance Features
- Safety First: All cleaning and maintenance operations must be performed when the oven is cool and disconnected from the power outlet or turned off at the isolation switch.
- Exterior Cleaning: Use cream or liquid cleaners without abrasive particles. Avoid caustic creams, abrasive powders, rough wire wool, or hard tools. Clean spills immediately. Do not use steam cleaners.
- Interior Cleaning: Best performed when the oven is slightly warm. Remove side wire racks. Wipe with a soft cloth dampened with warm soapy water, rinse, and dry. Clean the oven door and rubber seal. For thorough cleaning, use dry and powder-type oven cleaners following product instructions.
