INTRODUCTION
NOTE: In a food service application, the catalytic converter technology does have limitations that are specic to 
recommended use (product type and volume of food produced). Application, both menu type and production, are 
limited. Overproduction and overcooking may result in exceeding conversion capability of the catalytic system and 
proper use should be exercised. Additionally, the catalytic converter system will not capture steam emission (during 
normal steam and/or combination cooking modes) from the oven cavity when the oven door is opened. 
This product conforms to the ventilation recommendations set forth by NFPA96 using EPA202 test method. The oven 
shall be used for the cooking or warming of pizza, bread, bakery products, or similar items only. No raw animal protein 
products (skin-on poultry, ground meats, bacon, sausage, steak, etc) shall be cooked in the equipment unless mechanical 
ventilation is provided. Precooked foods such as animal, sh, or skinless poultry protein products may be reheated in 
the oven. The oven must be operated in a well-ventilated area approved for food preparation. If cooking fatty proteins, 
it is recommended that the local HVAC codes and authorities are consulted to ensure compliance with ventilation 
requirements. Ventless allowance is subject to and dependent upon local jurisdictional approval and some jurisdictions 
may not recognize the NSF/UL certication or application.
