596803 - Operating a conveyor oven in power-saving mode A method of operating an oven or toaster with a food conveyor includes the steps of detecting a temperature within the oven or toaster and operating in a normal mode when a set drop in temperature is detected within a set period of time. When the set drop in temperature is not detected within the set period of time, indicating that no new food has been placed on the conveyor to move through the oven, the oven is operated in an energy savings mode which includes reducing the speed of the oven conveyor and reducing the energy supplied to the heating elements of the oven.
