Now that the convection oven has been taken apart, you can see how it functions:

The handle on the lid is connected to a switch. The lid must be closed in order for the switch to connect the circuit and allow the oven to turn on.

The timer is then connected to the LEDs, motor, and heating element. When you turn on the timer, the oven will cook at the desired temperature for that amount of time and then shut off. The motor spins two metal fans that help circulate the hot air in order to heat the food.

The switch is also connected to the temperature control so if the oven is allowed to be turned on (handle down) then it will heat it up to a desired temperature once the timer is turned.

The green LED indicates that the heating element is on. The red LED indicates that the convection oven is receiving power.
