4 CHEF EXPRESS TECHNOLOGY The Chef Express oven uses a combina on of hea ng for high-speed forced air convec on and microwave energy to heat forced food more quickly than the conven onal methods. The figure below illustrates the steps involving the technology: a) Internal hea ng elements transfer thermal energy to the circula ng air. b) The blower motor circulates air at high speed and envelops the food. c) The circula ng air goes through the catalyst where the grease-laden vapors are broken down.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 5 OPERATION PRINCIPLES Microwaves are a type of radiant energy. As well as radio waves, visible light and infrared, the microwaves are part of the electromagne c spectrum, i.e., it is a form of electromagne c radia on. They are classified as non-ionizing radia on, because unlike x-rays and Alpha, Beta and Gamma rays, its effects are strictly thermal and therefore do not alter the molecular structure of the item that is being irradiated.
Microwaves: The microwave is adjustable between 0% and 100% for each 30 second frac on. For example, the microwaves in a one-minute recipe with microwave programmed at 50% will run for 15 and stop for 15 seconds. Then they will energize for another 15 seconds and stop for the remaining 15 seconds. In 1 minute, they will act for a total of 30 seconds. The microwaves heat the food internally and do not require a specific mean to propagate.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL 6 RECIPES CREATION When crea ng a recipe, all the variables men oned earlier should be considered. The microwaves and the air speed are the cri cal factors for a successful prepara on. To get faster results in the recipe crea on, we suggest beginning programming at 1/10 of the total me of prepara on used in a conven onal process. The effect of microwaves is more efficient at the beginning of the processes.
