THE CONVECTION HEATING ELEMENT

The 1400-watt convection heating element is located under the circulation pulley cover and the top plate. The heating element heats the air that is distributed into the oven cavity by the convection fan. It operates on 120 VAC and is controlled by the convection thermistor,

and the heater relay on the microcomputer board. During a convection, or combination cooking cycle, the heater cycles on and off to maintain the programmed cavity temperature. The heating element surrounds the convec- tion fan blade and is not visible through the oven cavity.
