3.101 Terminology referring to type of appliances
3.101.1
natural convection oven
appliance in which food is cooked in a chamber by natural convection
3.101.2
forced convection oven
appliance equipped with a cooking chamber in which hot air is circulated by means of an electro-
mechanical device
3.101.3
multi-function oven
appliance having several modes of cooking:
— natural convection mode: heating of the cooking chamber by natural convection;

1) As impacted by EN 60335-1:2012/AC:2014, EN 60335-1:2012/A11:2014, EN 60335-1:2012/A13:2017,

— hot air mode: heating of the cooking chamber by forced convection;
— steam mode: a steam generator produces steam which is injected into the cooking chamber. The oven
can be used as a steam cooker without pressure;
— mixed mode: combination of the hot-air and steam modes; the hot air is humidified by the steam. The
steam injection can be continuous or intermittent by selection of the operator.
Note 1 to entry: Certain ovens do not have a steam generator. Steam is produced by the injection of water.
