• What altitude affects cooking?
• How does the altitude change the water boiling point?
• If Convection Mode is used, will the temperature have to be changed for altitude?
• What adjustments need to be made for altitude?
• Is a high altitude conversion kit available?

Answer:

Some considerations for baking at high altitude:

• Cooking begins to be affected somewhere between 2,000 and 3,000 feet above sea level.
• With every 500-foot increase in altitude, the boiling point of water drops about one degree.
• The same adjustments made for electric and gas ovens can also be made for Convection Steam Ovens.
• A high altitude conversion kit may be needed if cooking is being affected in units located 2,000 to 3,000 feet or more above sea level.
• Contact a Local Dealer for further sales information on high altitude conversion kits.
