Altair II models feature a dual-direction convection fan that increases steam velocity and steam distribution efficiency by pulling moist hot air past food pans, then forcing it against cooking chamber waIls to be reheated. Because Altair IIs vent steam through their drain instead of the rear of the cooking compartment, additional circulation of the steam occurs with every cycle.

Altair II's cast aluminum cooking compartment acts as a heat sink, providing superior temperature retention and recovery while reducing energy consumption. And Altair II's boilerless design means there's no boiler to break down, delime or replace.
