Abstract
A food processing apparatus includes a cabinet defining a food processing compartment accessible through a front access opening, and has a door hinged on the cabinet for movement between open and closed positions relative to the access opening. The door includes inner and outer door panels pivotally interconnected to enable access between the panels. The inner and outer door panels have aligned windows with the windows on the inner panel being larger so as to enable light from lights mounted on the inside of the outer panel to illuminate the processing compartment without glare to the operator. Other features of the invention enable better control of zoned heating within the processing compartment when used in either convection steam or convection hot air modes of operation.
