STANDARD VS. CONVECTION OVENS... A FAN MAKES THE DIFFERENCE operation The basic difference between standard ovens and convection ovens is the system they utilize to bring about heat transfer. In other words, standard ovens circulate heat through natural airflow, and convection ovens employ a fan to circulate the heat throughout the oven cavity.
Page 16
Convection Oven Cooking operation In a convection oven, a motorized fan positioned in the rear of the oven circulates the heat generated from a burner. This results in a more even distribution of heat, and thus, an equalized temperature throughout the oven cavity.
This promotes operation. Oven Racks Each Jade oven is equipped with two heavy duty "wraparound" wire racks. The oven has guides for three rack positions. When cooking with two racks, place the racks in the top and bottom rack guides.
