1.1This test method evaluates the energy consumption and cooking performance of rotisserie ovens. The food service operator can use this evaluation to select a rotisserie oven and understand its energy performance.

1.2This test method is applicable to thermostatically-controlled gas and electric rotisserie ovens designed for batch cooking.

1.3The rotisserie oven can be evaluated with respect to the following (where applicable):

1.3.1Energy input rate (10.2),

1.3.2Preheat energy and time (10.4),

1.3.3Idle energy rate (10.5),

1.3.4Pilot energy rate, if applicable (10.6),

1.3.5Cooking energy efficiency and production capacity (10.9), and

1.3.6Holding energy rate and product shrinkage (optional, 10.10),

1.4The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
