1. Determine Placement
Positioning: The X-shape heating element should be positioned near the air intake or in the heating compartment of the convection oven. It can be placed at the top or bottom, depending on the specific oven design.
Ensure Adequate Spacing: Ensure that the heating element is not obstructed by any surrounding components to allow proper airflow and heat distribution.
2. Connect the Heating Element
Wiring: If not pre-installed, connect the heating element's terminals to the oven's power supply using the correct wiring methods. Ensure the connections are secure to prevent any loose wires.
Electrical Specifications: Make sure that the power rating (voltage and wattage) of the heating element is compatible with the oven's electrical system.
3. Attach the Fan (if necessary)
If the heating element works in combination with a fan, ensure that the fan is properly installed and functioning. The fan should circulate hot air uniformly across the oven, ensuring even cooking.
4. Testing
Initial Test: Before using the oven regularly, perform a test by setting the oven to a low temperature to ensure the heating element is functioning properly and distributing heat evenly.
Monitor Temperature: Use an oven thermometer to check that the desired temperature is reached consistently and that heat is evenly distributed throughout the cooking space.
5. Safety Checks
Ensure that all safety mechanisms are in place, such as temperature limits, overheat protection, and proper insulation.
Check for Airflow: Ensure there is no obstruction to airflow, as this could lead to inefficient heating and possible overheating of the heating element.
