OVEN CHARACTERISTICS

START-UP

The oven is equipped with a special, low-heat- density, heating cable. Through the Halo Heat® concept, the heating cable is mounted against the walls of the cooking and holding compartment to provide an evenly applied heat source, controlled by an oven sensor. The design and operational characteristics of the unit eliminates the need for a moisture pan or a heat circulating fan. Through even heat application, the food product is cooked evenly and provides the ability to hold foods for longer periods of time.
