OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROL PANEL:
A. Knob for selecting the cooking functions.
B. Electronic cooking programmer (6-KEYS).
C. Timer display.
D. Knob for adjusting the cooking temperature.
CONTROL KNOBS
The OBES66 has two control knobs (on either side of the control panel) with an electronic cooking programmer
(timer) in the centre. The recessed knobs can be accessed by lightly pushing them, which will allow them to
spring forward. After use they can be pushed back into the oven.

CONTROL FUNCTION CHART:
The following chart is for built in oven model OBES66
Note: Oven shelves are numbered from 5 at the top down to 1 at the bottom when referring to the food
cooking chart. Please note that the shelves and dishes should be place between the smaller gaps of the side
racks for stability.
Please note the “element on” indicator (to the right of the cooking temperature knob) only comes on when
the thermostat reads a temperature below what has been set and the elements turn on. This does not
function when using the “light only” or “defrost” functions.
Please note that the functions will not operate unless the unit has been set to “manual operation” or a timer
operation has been set. See the section for the six button timer further on in this manual.
ENERGY SAVING
Choose cookware of an appropriate size.
Using a lid will reduce cooking times.
Minimize the amount of liquid or fat to reduce cooking times.

DESIGNED TO PERFECTION
LIGHT ONLY FUNCTION
Set a timer program or set to manual operation and turn the knob to the light only function to switch on the
internal oven light.
Attention: The first time you use the oven we recommend that you set the thermostat on the highest setting
and leave the oven on for about forty-five minutes with nothing in it. Then, open the oven door and ensure
there is fresh air coming into the room/kitchen. The odour that is often detected during this initial use is due
to the evaporation of substances used to protect the oven during storage and prior to installation.
DEFROST FUNCTION
Set a timer program or set to manual operation and turn the knob to the defrost function. Select this function
to thaw food. In this mode you use only room temperature air circulation (no elements are switched on).
This function is perfect for finishing off the defrosting process following for frozen food that has been in the
refrigerator from the evening before and may not be completely thawed out.
CONVECTION FUNCTION
Set the thermostat knob (d) between 50°C and MAX°C. Set a timer program or set to manual operation and
turn the knob to the convection function.
On this function the outer heating elements at the top and the lower heating element of the oven will come
on. The heat is distributed uniformly from top to the bottom. 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. The convection function is recommended for cooking meat-based dishes featuring liquids e.g.
casseroles. It is the ideal function for cooking dry pastries and fruit as well as single shelf cooking. Position
the rack based on whether the dish needs more or less heat from the top of bottom. This is also ideal for
long cooking at low temperatures for food such as meringues and Pavlova.
After cooking, turn off the oven function control button and cancel the timer program if in use. 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
caution and keep children away from the cooling oven.
FAN FORCED FUNCTION
Set the thermostat knob (d) between 50°C and MAX°C. Set a timer program or set to manual operation and
turn the knob to the fan forced function.
On this function the turbo heating element (in the back of the oven) and the fan will operate. On this
function the heat remains constant and uniform throughout the oven, whilst the circulating air cooks and
browns food uniformly over its entire surface. On this function you can also cook various dishes at the same
time on different shelves, as long as their respective cooking temperatures are the same.
This function is ideal for multi-shelf cooking, baked foods, biscuits, pizza and also good for casseroles and
re-heating. Moreover the excellent heat distribution makes it possible to use lower temperatures when
cooking some roasts e.g. slow roasted Greek lamb.
After cooking, turn off the oven function control button and cancel the timer program if in use. 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
caution and keep children away from the cooling oven.

MID-GRILL FUNCTION
Set the thermostat knob (d) between 50°C and MAX°C. Set a timer program or set to manual operation and
turn the knob to the mid-grill function.
This function is used for grilling. On this function, the middle heating elements/coils of the grill operate.
After a preheating period of 10 minutes, put your food into the oven. For grilling, put the food on the grill
rack and sit into the tray. Place the tray on the highest shelf (5). Placing the rack within the oven tray
provided will ensure that any marinade, fat or oil dropping from the food will be collected. When grilling for
a short time, the oven door should be closed, but for times over 10-15 minutes, the door should be left
slightly opened. Take care as food can burn easily if left too long in the oven.
This setting is ideal for toasting bread, cheese melts and melting cheese topped dishes or finishing off a dish
to lightly brown on the surface. Also used for herb and garlic bread.
After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and cancel the timer program if in
use. 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 FUNCTION
Set the thermostat knob (d) between 50°C and MAX°C. Set a timer program or set to manual operation and
turn the knob to the maxi-grill function.
During grilling, keep the oven door slightly opened. On this function all upper elements are operated. For
more intensive grilling, select this function. This setting is best for grilling foods rapidly. Place the grill tray on
the highest shelf position (5). Placing the rack within the oven tray provided will ensure that any marinade,
fat or oil dropping from the food will be collected. After a pre-heating period of 10 minutes, put your food
onto the oven. This higher grill temperature and function is ideal for cooking and browning meat (such as
lamb or pork chops and cutlets), chicken and seafood (such as fish fillets, cutlets, tuna steaks or Atlantic
salmon). It is also good for browning fruit crumbles or crumb topped dishes.
After cooking, turn off the oven function control button and cancel the timer program if in use. 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
caution and keep children away from the cooling oven.

turn the knob to the maxi-grill with fan function.
This function will ensure complete, fast and all over grilling by working, the fan, the grill and the upper
heating element at the same time. After a preheating period of 10 minutes, put your food into the oven. For
grilling, put the food on the grill rack and sit into the tray. Place the tray on the highest shelf (5). Placing the
rack within 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.
The maxi-grill with fan function is ideal for cooking food to achieve a crispy skin (such as chicken thigh or
breast with the skin on) and lightly browning meat such as lamb and seafood.
After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and cancel the timer program if in
use. 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.

DESIGNED TO PERFECTION
LOWER HEAT AND FAN FUNCTION
Set the thermostat knob (d) between 50°C and MAX. Set a timer program or set to manual operation and
turn the knob to the lower heat and fan function.
This 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 a preheating
period of 10 minutes, put your food into the oven.
After cooking, turn off the oven function and temperature control knobs and cancel the timer program if in
use. Take the cooked food out of the oven and place it on a safe heatproof surface. As the oven will be hot,

OVEN COOKING GUIDES
For optimum cooking keep edges of baking dishes and pans at least 4cm from the sides of the oven.
This allows free heat circulation and ensures even cooking.
Were possible remove large cuts of meat 1kg or over from the fridge 1 hour prior to cooking. Allow,
to stand covered and away from direct sun/heat. This process will take the “chill” of the fridge away
from the food and assist in more even cooking.
Oven Shelf Location
Your Everdure oven has five positions or 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 5 (the highest shelf position).
To obtain maximum space above and below the shelves, it is recommended that you position trays and
dishes in the following way when baking:
When using only 1 shelf, use position/rack 2 or 3 (That’s oven shelf position).
When using 2 shelves, use position/rack 2 and 4.
Cooking Pizza
For best results when cooking pizza ideally use the lower heat and fan function. Preheat the oven for at least
10 minutes.
Use a light aluminium pizza pan, ideally one with holes in the base specifically for pizza cooking.
Do not open the oven door frequently while the pizza is cooking.
If the pizza has a lot of toppings (three of four), it is recommended that the mozzarella cheese be
placed on top halfway through the cooking process. Remember the best pizzas are made with a less
is best method when choosing the topping ingredients.
Check the base is crispy by lifting the pizza pan from the oven with a heatproof glove and lifting the
pizza with an oven slide to look at the pizza base. Return to oven if further cooking is required.
Roasting Meat, Cooking Chicken and Fish
Ideally, meat should be at least 1Kg or more when roasting in order to prevent it from drying out.
When cooking white meat, poultry and fish, use temperature settings (180°C-220°C).
For red meat that should be well done on the outside while tender and juicy on the inside, it is a good
idea to start with a high temperature setting (200°C-220°C) for a short time, then turn the oven down
afterwards and finish off.
When larger cuts of meat, poultry or fish have finished cooking, ideally remove the food from oven
and cover with foil and stand for 10 – 20 minutes (depending on size). This will help retain the juices
when the meat is carved.
When cooking large whole fish 1kg or larger it is recommended that the flesh be scored or slashed 2-
3 times on either side to assist in more even cooking. To do this cut into the thick fish flesh behind the
head through to the bone. These scored areas also allow you to check easily to see if the fish is
cooked.
It is a good idea to either measure the inside of your oven for width and either write this down in
book you may have with you when shopping or you can cut a piece of string the oven width this
makes it easier to know if your fish will fit into the oven. Looks can be deceiving and the fish looks so
much better whole with its head and tail. If it doesn’t fit you will probably need to remove the head
prior to baking.

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 of 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 preheat oven at the correct temperature.
Use kitchen baking paper to line cake tins and baking trays for cookies and roast vegetables such as
pumpkin and sweet potato.
When making cakes have eggs at room temperature.
When making sponge cakes don’t tap the beaters on the side of the bowl when the beating is
complete as this will knock out precious air you have just spent time adding. Remove the beaters
from the hand mixer and tap them over the edge of your open palm to knock any remaining cake
mix into the bowl below.
Pavlova and Meringues
Eggs should be at room temperature.
Ensure that the bowl and beaters to be used are super clean and have no grease, oil or fat on them
as this will retard the beating and peak forming process.
It is a good idea to crack the eggs to be used one at a time over a small bowl to separate the egg
yolks and whites. That way, if a yolk does break, it will not end up in your main bowl of egg whites.
When making pavlova or meringues don’t tap the beaters on the side of the bowl when the beating is
complete as this will knock out precious air you have just spent time adding. Remove the beaters
from the hand mixer and tap them over the edge of your open palm to knock any remaining mix into
the bowl below.
Line baking trays with kitchen baking paper.
When they are cooked, remove the tray from the oven and use a very flat spatula to loosen the food
from the baking paper. Return the Pavlova or meringues to the oven and allow to stand overnight or
until the oven is cold for best results.
Think about using the remaining egg yolks to make homemade mayonnaise.
