Support Legs
- The cookers are supplied with four transit supports (one for each corner).
- Four support legs are supplied separately and are fitted on location to the four corners of the lower support frame. Each support leg is pushed over the relevant transit support until flush with the support frame.
- Each leg is adjusted by screwing the lowe r section in or out as required for fitting to a 900mm bench height. For lower bench tops adjust the height of the legs to 180mm so the hob is located 10mm above the horizontal combustible surface, ref. AS/NZS 5601.
Anti-tilt Device
-
Legs should be installed with the appliance close to its final destination, as the legs are not designed for excessive force and will snap off if too much side force is exerted on them (dragging along or angled too much). When fitting, try to keep the appliance as close to a horizontal position as possible. Use of a pallet jack is recommended.
If the legs are not used and the cooker is mounted onto a plinth, four transit supports allow for clearance. -
With the legs fitted, the splash-back can be fitted.
-
Follow the instructions shown in Fig. 07
Anti-tilt Device
-
A chain should be fitted by the installer within 50mm of the hose connection point to prevent strain on the hose when the cooker is pulled forward. The chain should restrict the appliance movement to no more than 80% of the hose length. After the chain is installed, check that there is no strain on the hose or gas connections when the cooker is pulled as far forward as the chain allows.
-
The cooker is also supplied with two chains which are connected to the rear left and right of the appliance. The chains should be connected to the wall directly behind the chains as low as possible to prevent the appliance from tilting forward. If the appliance is installed between two cupboards, drill a hole on each side of the cupboards, pass the chains through the holes and anchor the chains within each cupboard. Ensure the chain connections are strong enough to support the weight of the appliance and taught to prevent it from tilting forward.
-
WARNING: In order to prevent accidental tipping of the appliance, for example a child climbing onto the open oven door, the stabilising means must be installed. Ensure the chains are correctly anchored to prevent the appliance from tilting forward and to prevent strain on the hose when the cooker is pulled forward.
-
MAKE SURE THE ANTI-TILTING CHAINS ARE TAUGHT WHEN ANCHORED TO PREVENT THE APPLIANCE TILTING.

- For all burners except for the wok burner, insert a small slotted screwdriver into the hole on the valve rod (Fig. 12) and turn the choke screw to the right or left until the burner flame is adjusted to minimum.
- The wok burner has 2 adjustment screws on either side of the body of the valve (Fig. 13). Screw A is for the outer ring and screw B is for the inner ring. Turn the choke screw to the right or left until the burner flam e is adjusted to minimum.
- Ensure sure that the flame does not go out when s witching quickly from the MAXIMUM to the MINIMUM position.
Oven burner adjustment: follow the instructions below to adjust the minimum:
- Light the burner setting the knob to the MAXIMUM position.
- Close the oven door and operate the oven for at least 10 minutes.
- Set the knob to the MINIMUM position (corresponding to 120°) and then remove it.
Appliance Electrical Connection
- With a slotted screwdriver turn the choking screw (see figure 14) and, while observing the flame at the same time through the cooker porthole, evaluate the consistency of the flame so it remains on when switching quickly from the MINIMUM to the MAXIMUM position.
- **WARNING: The above-mentioned adjustment should be made only with natural gas burners, while for those operating with liquid gas the screw must be locked at the end in a clockwise direction.
**
Appliance Electrical Connection
The electric connection must comply with the current legal standards and regulations.
Before making the connection, check that:
-
The system electrical rating and the current outlet are adequate for the maximum power output of the appliance (see the label applied to the bottom of the casing).
-
The outlet or the system is equipped with an efficient ground connection in accordance with the current legal standards and regulations. The manufacturer will not be responsible for the non-compliance with these instructions.
-
The power cord is supplied with a 15A plug, suitable for the load indicated on the label and a standard 15A GPO
-
The power cord must be positioned so that a temperature of 75°C will not be reached at any point.
-
Do not use reductions, adapters or splitters since they might cause false contacts and lead to dangerous overheating.
When the connection is made directly to the electric network:
- Use a device that ensures disconnection from the mains in which the contacts are opened to a distance that permits complete disconnection according to the conditions for over-voltage category III.
- The ground wire must not be interrupted by the circuit-breaker.
- As an alternative, the electric connection can also be protected by a high-sensitivity residual current circuit- breaker but this may be subject to nuisance tripping due to residual humidity in heating elements.
- It is highly recommended to attach the special green-yellow ground wire to an efficient ground system.
WARNING: If the power cord is replaced, the ground wire (yellow-green) connected to the terminal, should be longer than the other wires by about 2 cm.
WARNING: if the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

To remove, pull the rack out until the stop catches at the front of the support & angle down to fully remove.
Using burners on cooktop
- A diagram is etched on the control panel above each knob which indicates which burner corresponds to that knob. Each control knob controls a gas valve and built-in flame safety device.
- Manual lighting (it is always possible even when the power is cut off): Turn the control knob that corresponds to the burner selected anticlockwise, setting it to the MAXIMUM position at the etched star (large flame on the control knob (Fig. 18) and hold a lit match to the burner. Press the knob down and hold for 2 seconds after the burner ignites so the thermocouple heats up. Release the control knob and adjust to the correct setting.
- Electric ignition: Turn the knob that corresponds to the burner selected anticlockwise, setting it to the MAXIMUM position (large flame on the control knob (Fig. 18). Keep pressing the knob down at this position until the burner ignites, and then wait 2 seconds for the thermocouple to heat up. Release the control knob and adjust to the correct setting.
Use of the dual burner (Fig19)
- This model controls both the central and external crown of the burner with just one valve.
- To ignite the central crown press and turn the knob to the maximum delivery position 1 and hold it down until ignition: in this position the internal flame are at maximum.
- Turn the knob to position 2 to have the internal crown at the minimum.
- Turn the knob to position 3 to have the internal crown ant the external crown at the maximum.
- Turn the knob to position 4 to have the internal crown ant the external crown at the minimum.
Note: It is recommended not to try to ignite a burner if the relative flame cap is not in the correct position.
Tips for using burners correctly:
- Use suitably sized pots for each burner (see tab. 4 and Fig. 20).
Using the oven thermostat control knob
- The thermostat is used to set the maximum internal temperature of the oven. Turn the thermostat control knob clockwise and align the selected temperature indicated on the knob with the index etched on the control panel above it. Thermostat operation is indicated by an orange light which will turn off when the temperature inside the oven is 10°C greater than the temperature setting, and will turn on when the oven is 10°C less than the temperature setting. The thermostat can control the oven elements only if an oven function has been set. For electronic timers, the timer must be off (“A” symbol off) or running.
Using Oven Functions
Using the oven function control knob (Fig. 22)
-
The oven function knob is used to control the electric fan and the oven elements in set combinations in conjunction with the timer and thermostat.
-
The electric oven is heated by 4 elements:
a) Upper element (1200W) and grill element (1500W) combined at the top of the oven cavity.
b) Lower element (1600W) at the bottom of the oven cavity.
c) Two circular elements (1200W) at the rear of the oven cavity, situated around the 2 internal fans. -
Select an oven function by turning the oven function control knob so that the symbol for the required function is at the top and in line with the index etched on the control panel above it.
-
Note: The timer and thermostat must be set correctly for the oven to function.
-
To turn electric oven off adjust the oven function control knob to position
-
0 (no function selected). Setting the thermostat control knob to position 0 turns off the elements but it is still possible, using the oven function knob ,to turn on the electric fan and the oven light.
There are 9 function as per below :
**| Quick Start/Defrost Function: This function runs the rear fans and
all elements. The heat generated is too hot to cook in, but is perfect for
preheating the oven (run at the required temperature until the thermostat
light turns off and on a couple of time, then adjusts to the required function
setting. To use as a defrost function, leave the thermostat on 0. This allows
air to flow over frozen food speeding up defrost times.
---|---
| Conventional Cooking Function: This function runs the upper and lower
elements. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting.
| Lower Element Cooking Function: This function runs the lower element.
It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. It can be used at low
temperatures, for slow cooking casseroles & custard, and at high temperatures
for pastries.
| Upper Element Cooking Function: This function runs the upper element.
It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. With less power than
the grill, this can be used to brown cauliflower cheese and to reheat lasagne.
| Grill Cooking Function: This function runs the upper and grill
elements. It is dependent on the timer and the thermostat setting. Best used
for shorter grilling times, like toast or crumpets.
| Grill & Fan Cooking Function: This function runs the upper and grills
elements, and runs both rear internal fans. It is dependent on the timer and
the thermostat setting. Best used for longer grilling times, or when grilling
foods with a lot of moisture.
| Fan Assist Cooking Function: This function runs the upper and lower
elements, and runs both rear internal fans. It is dependent on the timer and
the thermostat setting. Best used when cooking large amounts of food at one
time, for frozen potato products and crumbed/battered chicken or fish.
| Fan Oven Cooking Function: This function runs the circular rear
elements; and runs both rear internal fans. It is dependent on the timer and
the thermostat setting. This function is suitable to most types of cooking,
with even temperatures throughout the oven.
| Pizza Cooking Function:** This function runs the lower and circular rear
elements, and runs both rear internal fans. It is dependent on the timer and
the thermostat setting. Great for Pizzas, pastries or flat breads, where you
want the base crispy and the rest cooked.
Cooking Functions
Using the electric oven
- When using the oven for the first time it should be operated for a maximum of 30 minutes at a temperature of about 250°C to eliminate any odours generated by the internal insulation. During normal oven use, select the desired cooking temperature using the thermostat knob and wait until the orange light turns off (set temperature has been reached) before putting in any food. The oven is equipped with 5 guides at different heights (Fig. 23) which can be used to insert shelves or the tray. To keep the oven as clean as possible it is recommended to cook meat on the tray or on the shelf that has been inserted inside the tray. Always turn the oven off by adjusting the oven function control knob to off (0).
NOTE: After use, the cooling fan will continue to run until the internal electrical system has cooled sufficiently
- When cooking, always open the oven door slightly first (head away from the door), to allow any built-up steam to escape, and then open fully. Always use heat resistant gloves when removing hot items from the oven. Never line the sides or base of the oven, or enamel backing dishes with aluminium foil (it can damage the enamel surface). Never cook or place cookware on the base – always use trays and shelves provided.
- Always preheat your oven before cooking (see the quick start function), which allows more accurate timing of cooking.
conventional cooking
- Conventional cooking cooks with heat coming from both the top and bottom, ideal for roasts and pastries. After preheating oven to the correct temperature (50°C to 250°C), adjust oven function control knob to conventional cooking and place food inside oven. Set timer if needed.
fan oven cooking
- Fan Oven cooking cooks with heat coming from the rear of the oven, with hot air circulated around by the fans, ideal for cooking different types of food together without mixing the tastes. Pre-heat the oven for 10 minutes before inserting the trays. Adjust oven function control knob to fan oven cooking and place food inside oven. Set timer if needed.
grilling
- The grill is controlled using the oven’s temperature knob. The grill function uses both elements at the top of the oven, so is faster and more powerful than using the top element alone. Run this function with the door closed and at a temperature not exceeding 150°C for up to 15 minutes. Use the enamel tray with wire rack insert at positions 1 or 2 (or lower to slow down the grilling process). Do not leave the tray in the upper positions when not in use, as they will deflect heat away from food.
- Preheat for 5 minutes first before adding the food and tray. This function is best for thinner, quickly cooked food like toast; for thicker food that will take longer, use the grill and fan cooking function.
grilling with fans
- This function is similar to the grilling function, but with the rear fans added, allowing a more even heat to flow around the food. Run this function with the door closed. Place the food on a wire rack and insert at position 3. Place a baking dish on level 5 to catch any juice or crumbs (this allows the heat to circulate the food). This is better for thicker foods which need to be cooked for longer times. Preheat for 5 minutes first before adding the food and tray.
Using the Minute-Minder (fig.24)
- The minute-minder advises the user, with an acoustic signal, when food has been cooked, after a certain time period has elapsed. To use the device, wind the minuteminder by turning the knob clockwise one complete turn. Then turn the knob counterclockwise so that the indicator corresponds with the selected cooking time
- WARNING: the acoustic signal does not stop the cooking cycle. The use must turn off the cooking cycle by hand using the relative knobs.
Using the end of Cooking Timer (fig 25)

Electric oven
- When you turn on the oven, the orange light comes on to indicate that the heating elements are working: The thermometer dial will start to move towards the set temperature. The orange light will keeping coming on and off, indicating that the heating elements are working to maintain the temperature inside the oven. The light may go off for a few minutes before the thermometer has reached the temperature required. This is normal, because operation of the heating elements is regulated so that heat is distributed properly inside the oven. Heat is optimally distributed inside the oven when the thermometer dial has stopped. If the oven temperature drops or goes up, the thermometer dial will follow these variations in the same way. When the oven is turned off, the temperature on the thermometer will slowly drop until it reaches room temperature.
NOTE: The temperatures on the knob are indicative. Follow the thermometer temperature for cooking. Gas oven
- When the oven is turned on, the burner will start working at the maximum and the thermometer dial will start to move towards the set temperature. The flame may die down before the thermometer has reached the temperature required. This is because burner power is reduced so that heat can be evenly distributed inside the oven. Heat is optimally distributed inside the oven when the thermometer dial has stopped. When the oven is turned off, the temperature on the thermometer will slowly drop until it reaches room temperature.
NOTE: The Thermostat Position and Oven Temperature correspondence in table no. 5 is indicative and depends on various factors such as the type of gas and supply pressure. Follow the thermometer temperature for cooking.
NOTE: it is normal to record different temperatures from those indicated on the panel thermometer, when you measure the temperature in the middle of the oven using a different thermometer. The temperature indicated by the thermometer is the mean temperature inside the oven and does not indicate the temperature of any single point.
Using the Self-cleaning Oven
- On models which have this device, the self-cleaning oven differs from normal ovens because the inner surfaces are coated with a special micro-porous enamel that absorbs and eliminates grease residues during cooking. If liquid grease is released, self-cleaning is not sufficient, so wipe the grease stains with a damp sponge and then heat the oven to the maximum temperature, wait for it to cool down and wipe again with a damp sponge.
Cleaning the Appliance
- Before cleaning the appliance, it should be disconnected from the power supply and turned off the main gas feeder valve.
Cleaning the work surface
- Periodically clean the burner parts and trivets as listed below. Note that all parts must be thoroughly rinsed and dried before being replaced.
- Any liquid that overflows from pots must always be removed using a rag.
- If it becomes difficult to open or close a valve, do not force it, but immediately contact the omega service department.
Cleaning the enamelled parts
- The trivets and burner covers are cast iron with an enamel coating. To maintain the original features of the enamelled parts they should be cleaned frequently with soapy water. Never use abrasive powders. Do note leave acidic or alkaline substances on the enamelled parts (vinegar, lemon juice, salt, tomato sauce, etc.) and do not wash the enamelled parts while they are still hot.
Cleaning the STAINLESS steel parts
- Clean the parts with soapy water and then dry them with a soft cloth. The shine is maintained by periodically using special products that generally are found in the market. Never use abrasive powders.
Cleaning the burner bodies
- The aluminium burner bodies sit on the burner bases. Remove from the base and wash them with soapy water. Rinse and dry, and check that all holes and slots are fully cleaned. Replace on the burner bases, taking care that they are positioned and orientated correctly.
Cleaning the inside of the oven
- To thoroughly clean the inside of the oven, it is recommended that the door be removed first. First lock the hinge in place with the nail supplied (01-02). With the hinges fixed, grab both sides of the door and slowly work the door off the hinges towards you. Once fully removed, place in a safe position until it is time to fix back in place (in the opposite order). The internal rack guides can also be temporarily removed by undoing the screws holding them in place and lifting out.
