INTRODUCTION
Ovention Matchbox®Ovens set a new standard in cooking
quality, speed, flexibility, and efficiency. A new discovery in air
handling not only speeds the cooking process, but “scrubs” and
recirculates the air through the oven—eliminating the need for
a hood system in most installations. Using icon-driven
touchscreens, operators can use, edit, and develop over 1000
custom menu items. Menu items can be developed to include
up to three cooking stages, each with varying heat profiles,
upper and lower air velocity settings, and timing.
Ovention Matchbox Ovens are designed with an innovative food
transport system that allows non-stop operation of the oven. A
slider system with two separate cook surfaces travels back and
forth into the oven chamber. One of the cook surfaces is always
in the oven while the other awaits the next food item.
Ovention Matchbox Ovens are products of extensive research
and field testing. The materials used were selected for
maximum durability, attractive appearance, and optimum
performance. Every unit is inspected and tested thoroughly prior
to shipment.

MODEL DESCRIPTION
All Models
Ovention®Matchbox®Ovens are designed to provide unequaled
flexibility in both kitchen and front-of-the-house installations. The
variety of menu options, small footprint, low heat escape, and
hood-less installation make the Matchbox Oven a single solution
alternative to multiple pieces of cooking equipment.
Each Matchbox Oven is equipped with dedicated upper and lower
heating elements and air blowers. The air blowers direct heated
air through upper and lower jet plates inside the oven chamber,
above and below the food. A slider assembly consisting of two
separate cooking surfaces moves between the left platform, oven
chamber, and right platform through the use of a drive motor and
gear wheel. When one cooking surface is in the oven chamber,
the other is on its corresponding platform awaiting the next food
item.
Use non-abrasive cleaners and cloths only. Abrasive
cleaners and cloths could scratch finish of unit, marring its
appearance and making it susceptible to soil accumulation.
Clean unit daily to avoid malfunctions and maintain
sanitary operation.
Operator controls consist of two touchscreens (one for each
cooking surface), a Standby switch, and a Main Disconnect switch
(Model M1718 only). Two removable crumb trays, one below each
platform, allow for easy cleanup. A USB port allows the uploading
of pre-programmed menu items, installation of software updates,
and opportunity for service diagnostics. A 6′ (1829 mm) cord and
plug set is standard.
