Appliance Description and Intended Use

Structured Air

Technology™

Alto-Shaam Vector’s Structured Air Technology system allows for multiple,

unique cooking chambers within the same oven. Air is delivered by a blower

located in the rear of each cooking chamber. Air travels vertically through the jet

plates into each chamber. The food product is blown with hot air from above and

below. Structured Air plates at the top and bottom of the oven complete the

upper and lower cooking chambers. Each cooking chamber is independent from

the other and includes its own blower and heat source. The operator can select

the optimal cooking temperature, air velocity, and cook time for each chamber

either manually or through programmed recipes.

Configurations The Vector F Series is available in two configurations: three-, and four-chamber.

On F4 series ovens, the upper two chambers may be combined into one large

chamber, and the lower two chambers may be combined into one large

chamber. On F3 series ovens, the lower two chambers may be combined into

one large chamber.

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. Residual risks include exposure to heat and exposure to hot food

products.

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.
