Apartments and down-sized families have come under the product development spotlight at Omega with a highly specified, compact oven being launched.
The OO457XA is a very smart, streamlined satin stainless steel oven measuring only 45.5cm high and 60cm wide that can be wall mounted or installed under bench.
Conventional ovens are 60cm high but this model, although a good 14cm smaller, delivers 53.3 litres (gross) capacity and a raft of low-maintenance, high performance features.
It has six cooking functions including fan-forced, fan-assisted, baker’s function (the bottom-only heat with fan is excellent for crisp, light pastry), classic convection, fan grill and half static grill.
All functions can be pre-programmed using the digital clock to start and stop cooking plus there is a minute minder.
Sheer convenience factors include the flat glass inner door (no ridges or joins to trap food and grease so very easy to clean) and the forced-air door cooling to maintain a safe temperature on the exterior of the oven when in use.
To ensure adjacent cabinetry also remains cool, the appliance is fitted with an internal cooling fan.
The OO457XA compact oven, by Omega Appliances , is available nationally from appliance specialists, electrical retailers and some department stores
