FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
NEW CONNECTED WALL OVEN FROM JENN-AIR OFFERS TOTAL CONTROL VIA MOBILE APP
BENTON HARBOR, Mich. (March 19, 2015) – A sleek, dual convection wall oven from Jenn-Air, scheduled
for availability in September, will be the brand’s first with wireless connectivity and a fully functioning
application for IOS and Android devices. The app will give users control of the oven’s functions and
performance from their smartphones and tablets, including cooking innovations unique to Jenn-Air.
“Enabling users to keep any eye on what’s happening in the kitchen while entertaining in the living room
is just a tiny part of what the oven and app can do,” notes Brian Maynard, Jenn-Air marketing director.
“We’ve also incorporated diagnostics and a range of other highly intuitive functions that will encourage
users to explore and control the oven’s advanced features and performance right at the touch of their
fingertips.”
According to Maynard, the double oven’s connectivity and app are a natural outgrowth of other user
interface innovations from Jenn-Air. They include the industry’s first 7-inch full-color touch-anywhere
LCD display and first slider technology under glass, which allows users to slide a bar on the touchscreen
to achieve desired temperatures without entering numbers.
Among many unique features accessible via the app is the Jenn-Air® Culinary Center, an interactive, imagedriven system that uses the oven’s advanced cooking system, a series of precise algorithms, and cheftested cooking programs to give cooks the ultimate control in achieving desired results. The Culinary
Center provides guidance for more than 30 food options and considers such details as food category, food
type, desired doneness and type of cookware or bakeware used. Color images illustrating doneness levels
are combined with exclusive visuals showing how and where to insert the temperature probe for a variety
of dishes.

The app will also tap the Jenn-Air brand’s “My Creations” function, which allows users to seamlessly
combine up to three cooking modes and save the settings for favorite recipes.
The new wall oven incorporates the Jenn-Air brand’s V2TM Dual-Fan Convection System, which uses two
fan-equipped convection elements rated at a total of 6,800 watts to rotate air in opposite directions.
This convection system offers even baking on all three racks simultaneously and the responsive power
required for the brand’s No Preheat function, allowing cooking on one rack without any preheating and
without extending recipe time. For added power and versatility, the ovens also include 4,000-watt
reflective broil elements.
Further enhancing user control and flexibility, six convection modes are paired with Auto Convection
Conversion to automatically translate conventional cooking times to convection times.
Other new features include soft-close doors along with a front mounted oven light and a larger window
for improved visibility. An enhanced full-extension glide rack features smooth operation for easier
placement and removal of dishes to and from the oven.
