INTRODUCTION
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Reducing Fire Risk
 Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags used to facilitate cooking in the oven.
 If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, and disconnect the
power cord or shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
 If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven. Keep the door closed to stifle any flames.
X   use the cook cavity for storage purposes.
X   overcook food. Carefully attend to the oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials
are placed inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
X   leave paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when the oven is not in use.
Grounding Instructions
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This oven is equipped with a cord
that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug, which must be plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if uncertain about the ability to
follow grounding instructions or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
X   use an extension cord. If the power cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
WARNING:Improper grounding can result in risk of electric shock.
Power Cord Replacement
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly
qualified person.
Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy
(a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in
harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety
interlocks.
(b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on sealing surfaces.
(c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door close
properly and that there is no damage to the: (1) Door (bent), (2) hinges and latches (broken or
loosened), (3) door seals and sealing surfaces.
(d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualified service personnel.

E-6 INTRODUCTION
RF Interference Considerations
The Tornado oven generates radio frequency signals. This device has been tested and was determined
to be in compliance with applicable portions of FCC part 18 requirements and to the protection
requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States
relating to electromagnetic compatibility at the time of manufacture. However, some equipment with
sensitivity to signals below these limits may experience interference.
If your equipment experiences interference:
 Increase the physical separation between this oven and the sensitive equipment.
 If the sensitive device can be grounded, do so following accepted grounding practices.
 If battery-powered microphones are being affected, ensure that the batteries are fully charged.
 Keep sensitive equipment on separate electrical circuits if possible.
 Route intercom wires, microphone wires, speaker cables, etc. away from the oven.

FIGURE2: How the Technology Works
THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND THE TORNADO
The Tornado uses a patented combination of high
speed forced air convection heating and microwave
energy to cook food up to 12 times faster than
conventional methods.
At a very high speed of circulation, a controlled,
smoothly flowing field of hot air forms a shroud
around the food. This takes place in conjunction
with measured, precise bursts of microwave energy,
creating a unique set of temperature and moisture
control conditions within the food that preserves
and enhances flavor.
Figure 2 illustrates the five steps of the technology
used by the Tornado Oven. These steps, described
below, are all computer controlled.
1. The internal heaters transfer energy to the
recirculating airflow.
2. The recirculating airflow circulates at speeds up
to 60 mph (100 km/h) down and around the
food item.
3. Simultaneously, a bottom radiant heater provides
heat transfer to the bottom of the food product.
4. The recirculating air passes through a catalytic
converter where excess grease and odors are
combusted and removed.
5. Working in parallel with the recirculating airflow
and bottom IR element, the microwave system
couples microwave energy from the bottom of
the cavity evenly into the food items.
NOTE: An easy way to understand our cooking is
to think of the microwave cooking from the inside
out and the airflow cooking from the outside in.
The two energy gradients meet and greatly reduce
the cook time.

Assembly and Installation
WARNING: Death, injury and equipment
damage can result from improper installation of
the oven or installation of a unit damaged during
shipment or storage.
XDO NOT install an oven suspected of damage.
NOTE: Improper installation or the installation
of a unit damaged during shipment or storage may

Delivery and Initial Inspection
All TurboChef speed cook ovens are shipped so
as to prevent damage.
Upon delivery, inspect the shipping container for
external damage. Any evidence of damage should be
noted on the delivery receipt which must be signed by
the driver.
Upon removing the oven from its shipping carton,
check for any possible damage. Make note of any
damage and contact the shipping company to file
a claim. Carriers will accept claims for concealed
damage if notified within fifteen (15) days of the
delivery and if the shipping container is retained for
inspection.
TurboChef does not assume responsibility for any
loss or damage suffered in transit. The carrier assumes
full responsibility for delivery in good order when
the shipment is accepted. However, when necessary,
TurboChef can assist in filing a claim.
Lifting the Oven
WARNING:Oven weighs approximately 190 lbs.
(86 kg). Two or more people are required to lift it.
WARNING: Never lift the oven from the front and
rear. Doing so could cause the door to misalign,
resulting in a non warranty service call.
Position one or more people on either side of the oven.
