Air leaves the blower at a maximum speed of 60 mph, but air speed reaches no more than a maximum of 40 mph in the oven cavity. Air speed varies according to the type of food being cooked and is part of the cooking program for each selection. In the standard bake mode, the air speed slows to about 3 mph in the cavity, similar to a thermal convection oven. The air is heated by open-coil elements mounted in the air stream above the oven cavity and also by a tubular element located just in front of the blower inlet. Total element wattage is 6,000 watts.
Microwaves enter through the floor of the oven cavity.
A metal-blade, mode stirrer underneath the cavity, but above the magnetron, ensures uniform distribution of microwave energy. The electronic control system for the Accellis was designed for flexibility and offers consumers whatever level of hands-on involvement they desire, from little to complete control. The Custom Finish option gives the user complete control over the browning process, and the My Recipes feature allows the cook to store cooking programs for up to 125 favorite recipes. The appliance also can be used in a Standard Bake mode or as a straight microwave oven. Depending on a person's individual lifestyle, each of these new technologies has its pluses and minuses.
