Appliance Description and Intended Use
Description The Alto-Shaam Vector series oven uses structured air technology and 3-stage
cooking. Air is delivered by a blower located in the rear of each cook cavity. Air
travels through the shelves (jet plates) and is delivered vertically through
Structured Air plates in the top and bottom of the cook chamber. This provides
even distribution across the food which is the most efficient manner to maximize
heat transfer. Each cook cavity is separate from the other with its own blower
and heat source. The operator can select the optimal cooking temperature, air
velocity, and cook time for the food in each cavity.
Configurations The Vector H-Series is available in three configurations: two-, three-, and four-
cavity.
Intended use The Vector series ovens are intended to cook and warm food only. Any other use
is prohibited.
Residual risks This oven is manufactured using ISO-certified processes. The oven is designed
with maximum safety in mind; however, there are residual risks to operators of
this oven. The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC requires manufacturers to
communicate these residual risks to operators. Residual risks include: exposure
to heat and exposure to hot food products.
Possible misuse The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC also requires manufacturers to warn
operators of possible misuse. Misuse of this oven includes loading the oven with
anything other than a food product. Misuse also includes heating or cooking any
food product that contains alcohol or other flammable substance.
