INTRODUCTION
Ovention™ Matchbox™ Ovens set a new standard in cooking
quality, speed, flexibility, and efficiency. A new discovery in air
handling not only speeds the cooking process, but “scrubs” and
recirculates the air through the oven—eliminating the need for
a hood system in most installations. Using icon-driven
touchscreens, operators can use, edit, and develop over 1000
custom menu items. Menu items can be developed to include
up to three cooking stages, each with varying heat profiles,
upper and lower air velocity settings, and timing.
Ovention Matchbox Ovens are designed with an innovative food
transport system that allows non-stop operation of the oven. A
slider system with two separate cook surfaces travels back and
forth into the oven chamber. One of the cook surfaces is always
in the oven while the other awaits the next food item.
Ovention Matchbox Ovens are products of extensive research
and field testing. The materials used were selected for
maximum durability, attractive appearance, and optimum
performance. Every unit is inspected and tested thoroughly prior
to shipment.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
MODEL DESIGNATION
Ovention™ Matchbox™ Ovens are designed to provide
unequaled flexibility in both kitchen and front-of-the-house
installations. The variety of menu options, small footprint, low heat
escape, and hood-less installation make the Matchbox Oven a
single solution alternative to multiple pieces of cooking equipment.
Each Matchbox Oven is equipped with dedicated upper and lower
heating elements and air blowers. The air blowers direct heated
air through upper and lower jet plates inside the oven chamber,
above and below the food. A slider assembly consisting of two
separate cooking surfaces moves between the left platform, oven
chamber, and right platform through the use of a drive motor and
gear wheel. When one cooking surface is in the oven chamber,
the other is on its corresponding platform awaiting the next food
item.
Operator controls consist of two touchscreens (one for each
cooking surface), a Standby switch, and a Main Disconnect switch.
Two removable crumb trays, one below each platform, allow for
easy cleanup. A USB port allows the uploading of pre-
programmed menu items, installation of software updates, and
opportunity for service diagnostics. A 6′ (1829 mm) cord and plug
set is standard.
NOTE: To prevent delay in obtaining warranty coverage,
complete online warranty registration. See the
IMPORTANT OWNER INFORMATION section for
details.

MAINTENANCE
General
Ovention™ Matchbox™ Ovens are designed for maximum
durability and performance with minimum maintenance.
ELECTRIC SHOC HAZARD:
• Turn off Standby switch, allow unit to cool, and turn
OFF Main Disconnect switch before performing any
cleaning, adjustments, or maintenance.
• DO NOT submerge or saturate with water. Unit is not
waterproof. Do not operate if unit has been submerged
or saturated with water.
• Do not steam clean or use excessive water on unit.
• This unit is not “jet-proof” construction. Do not use jet-
clean spray to clean this unit.
• Do not clean unit when it is energized or hot.
• Do not clean unit with metal scouring pads. Metal
pieces can break off pad and touch electrical
components, creating risk of electric shock.
• This unit must be serviced by qualified personnel only.
Service by unqualified personnel may lead to electric
shock or burn.
• Use only Genuine Ovention Replacement Parts when
service is required. Failure to use Genuine Ovention
Replacement Parts will void all warranties and may
subject operators of the equipment to hazardous
electrical voltage, resulting in electrical shock or burn.
Genuine Ovention Replacement Parts are specified to
operate safely in the environments in which they are
used. Some aftermarket or generic replacement parts
do not have the characteristics that will allow them to
operate safely in Ovention equipment.
This unit has no “user-serviceable” parts. If service is
required on this unit, contact an Authorized Ovention
Service Agent or contact the Ovention Hotshot Hotline at
855-298-6836.
Do not move or relocate unit for cleaning. Unit is bulky and
heavy.
Never use steel pads, wire brushes, or scrapers to clean
