ABOUT YOUR NUVU® EQUIPMENT

NUVU® units are in use throughout the United States and Canada and have been exported to other
parts of the world. NUVU® continually modifies and updates its equipment to improve the
capabilities as new innovations become available. This enables the user to obtain better and more
useful results. NUVU ® currently manufactures an entire line of equipment in Menominee,
Michigan. All of the equipment is tested under anticipated operating conditions prior to shipment.

Any prospective customer is invited to try different food products in the newly completed test
kitchen in Menominee, Michigan. Seminars for both dealers and customers are available on-site at
the Menominee facility, at a dealer's showroom, or on the customer's premises.

NUVU® OVENS

NUVU® offers the widest range and variety of equipment through the varied use of heat,

moisture, steam and smoke options. NUVU® has, over a period of time, developed a
series of Ovens, Proofers, Steamers, Smokers and Warmers designed to provide
maximum performance with minimum energy requirements and care by the operator.
This is embodied in the V–AIR principle.

V–AIR IN OPERATION:

V–AIR stands for Versatile Air Movement equipment NUVU® has, in the V–AIR line, combined
quality construction, long life components, superior performance, multiple use operation and
amplified operating procedures to produce the finest equipment available. This means the end user
has the best of ALL worlds.

One of the previous problems of circulating air ovens was the inability to bake dough products
evenly without turning the pans or taking the pans out of the oven at different times. In the standard
convection oven the air is blown around randomly and thus the different shelves have different
conditions.

NUVU® offers the V–AIR series of Ovens with a patented positioned air flow system. This
patented system enables the user to load the Oven completely with pans having the same product,
bake, and remove the entire load at the same time. This is possible because the air is directed in at
each shelf through holes in the sidewalls. Because each shelf receives essentially the same air
pattern the bake is uniform.

Since the air flow is in a directional pattern the baking times are reduced over conventional deck
and tray ovens.

AVAILABILITY AND TESTING:

A prospective customer may see a unit in operation as follows:

• At a dealer's showroom.

• At an existing installation.

• At the NUVU® manufacturing facilities.
If contacted NUVU® will provide information on the nearest location and availability. In the event

that a customer desires to test at his place of business arrangements can be made based on a
specifically defined program. In the event that a customer wants to try a specific product
arrangements can be made to determine what conditions are necessary for baking so that the

customer can determine the suitability for his program. Technical product information can be
generated by customer-requested testing of various products and equipment.

CONSTRUCTION:

The Ovens and of the V–AIR series are constructed of stainless steel both inside and outside. All of
the exterior frame members and interior shells are welded to provide lifetime construction,
durability and rigidity. Components such as temperature and humidity controls, timers, switches,
motors, heating elements, and others are thoroughly tested before shipment. Ongoing research and
development projects are used to introduce the latest and most dependable parts.

SHIPMENT:

NUVU® equipment is usually shipped directly from the factory or delivered from a dealer, unless
sold at a show or after a test or demonstration. Unless otherwise agreed to by NUVU freight is paid
by the buyer F.O.B. the NUVU plant in Menominee, Michigan. Shipping time may vary depending
upon the original shipping point, time of year and shipper/shippers used.

NVUV® works closely with all of its customers in tracing shipments to speed delivery and
minimize handling. NVUV® employs the latest accepted packaging standards to ensure that your
equipment arrives in excellent condition. However, damage may still occur due to accident or
mishandling by the freight company. For this reason it is necessary for the receiving party to
immediately do a thorough inspection of the equipment when it arrives.

NVUV® RM/RA SERIES:

The NVUV® RM/RA series consists of several different platforms. There is the 4 or 5 pan
tabletop oven available with manual or programmable controls. All these choices are offered with
a pass through option. Using the same footprint but different internal configurations the following
