10OVEN CONTROLS AND COOKING
Cooking
The oven is preprogrammed with recipe settings at the time of manufacture and is ready to operate out of
the box. New menu settings can be loaded via USB or smart card (page 15) or programmed manually
(page 17). The oven will not cook unless settings are present.
This oven uses impingement and microwave to cook food faster than traditional cooking methods. Air enters
the cavity from the top and bottom using a single fan. Because of this design and to ensure uniformity of
cooking, the oven must be operated only while the bottom jetplate is in place. While the bottom jetplate is
removable for cleaning, it is not removable for cooking. Without the bottom jetplate in place, the oven will
not deliver the proper cooking performance to either the top or bottom of the food item. Additionally, oven
damage may result.
The sequence of the steps below may vary, and some may not apply.
Step 1: Turn the Oven On
Step 2: Select Cook Temperature
NOTE: The top temperature will allow you to cook
items found in groups 1-8. The bottom temperature
will allow you to cook items found in groups 9-16. If the
temperatures are the same, this screen will be bypassed
and access to all food items will be allowed.
Step 3: Warming Up
NOTE: When the oven is done warming up, it will
“soak” for an additional eight minutes. “Soaking” ensures
the cavity surfaces absorb enough heat so that cooking
will not be affected. While the oven is soaking, the menu
can be seen, but cooking will not be allowed until the
timer reaches 0:00.
Step 4: Place Food in the Oven
WARNING: Inside of oven and oven door are hot!
Page 27
Step 5: Cook the Item
NOTE: Press Up or Down to view more groups (only available if all items have the same set temperature) or food items.
Step 6: Cooking
NOTE: To immediately terminate a cook cycle, press
the Back/Stop key.
NOTE: If the oven door is opened during a cook cycle,
the cycle will pause until the door is closed and ENTER
is pressed to resume.
Step 7: Check/Remove Food from Oven
11
WARNING: Dish/inside of oven and door are hot!
Step 8: Brown More / Cook More / Cook & Brown
To cook an item longer than its original cook time, use one of the three keys on the left side of the keypad:
- Press “Brown More” if the outside of the food item requires browning or crisping.
- Press “Cook More” if the inside of the food item requires cooking.
- Press “Cook & Brown” if both the inside and outside of the food item require cooking.
Pressing one of these keys will cook the item for 20% of the last cook time selected. The minimum cook
time is the less of 15 seconds or the entire original cook cyle. The maximum is one minute. The oven will

Impingement System
The impingement system rapidly heats, filters, and
recirculates air into the cook cavity.
This section contains information about the
following components:
- Blower motor
- Blower motor speed controller (BMSC)
- Heater - top
- Heater - bottom
- High-limit thermostat
- Jetplate - bottom
- RTD - top and bottom
- Solid state relay (K4/K5 - Heaters)
For information on accessing and removing parts,
see the Appendix.
Blower Motor
The blower motor is a brushless AC-switch
reluctance type and spins clockwise. Its top speed
is 7,100 RPM at 1 HP, and it is controlled by a
proprietary controller (see below).
Blower Motor Speed Controller (BMSC)
The motor controller is proprietary and will only
operate the motor described above. It is controlled
via 0-10 VDC speed command from the control
board and can be tested in Test Mode (see page 19).
High Limit Thermostat
The high limit thermostat is a 250 VAC, 3-pole,
manual-reset thermostat with a trip point of 572ºF
(300ºC). The thermostat interrupts power to the
bottom or top heater in the event of an abnormal
condition. Reset the high-limit thermostat by
pressing the reset button on the back oven wall,
near the power cord.
Jetplate - Bottom
The bottom jetplate channels air from the blower
motor into the cavity. It is removable for cleaning.
NOTE: The top jetplate is not removable.
RTD - Top and Bottom
One RTD measures the temperature of the top
heater, and another RTD measures the temperature of the bottom heater. If the display reads
“999°F/C”, at least one RTD is open, resulting in
an F7 fault. See page 41 for troubleshooting.
Testing Procedure:
1. Disconnect the RTD from the control
harness (see page 48 for Encore and page 62 for
Encore 2).
2. Place the RTD in ice water for two minutes.
3. Take a resistance reading of the RTD.
4. If RTD resistance is not 100 Ω (+/- 2 Ω), the
RTD is defective and must be replaced.
Heater - Top
The top heater is an open-coil heater rated at 3,300
watts at 208 VAC, with a resistance of 13 Ω. The
top heater is controlled by K5 of the K4/K5 solid
state relay. For testing instructions, see page 20.
Heater - Bottom
The bottom heater is a sheathed-style heater rated
at 3,000 watts at 208 VAC, with a resistance of
14.4 Ω. The bottom heater is controlled by the K4
of the K4/K5 solid state relay. For testing instructions, see page 20.
Solid State Relay - K4/K5 Heaters
The solid state relay is a 240 VAC, dual 40-amp
relay. K4 switches power to the bottom heater, and
K5 switches power to the top heater.
Troubleshooting
The following faults may occur in relation to the
convection system:
- F1: Blower (see page page 37)
- F2: Low Temp (see page page 38)
- F6: EC Temp (see page page 41)
- F7: Thermo (see page page 41)
- F8: Heat Low (see page page 42)
The following cooking performance issues may
occur in relation to the convection system:
- Food not cooking properly (see page 45)

Oven Door
This section contains information about the
following components:
- Oven door
- Interlock switches
- Relay (K3 - Monitor)
This section also contains procedures for:
- Removing/reinstalling the oven door
- Adjusting the oven door
- Adjusting the primary, secondary, and monitor
switches
- Measuring RF leakage for microwave safety
For information on accessing and removing parts,
see the Appendix.
The oven door assembly consists of a shunt plate,
skin, and handle. Each of these items can be
serviced and replaced independently.
The proper fit and adjustment of the oven
door is essential for safe and reliable oven
operation.
Removing/Reinstalling the Oven Door
To remove or reinstall the oven door, follow the
steps below. For illustrations, see page A-8 for the
Encore and page A-24 for the Encore 2.
4. Carefully remove the oven door by pulling it
away from the oven.
5. Reinstall (or replace) the door by securing it via
the hex screws, verifying that the door is parallel
to the oven frame. If it is not parallel, adjust the
door (see below).
6. From Test Mode (page 19), check the status
indicators “P” “S” and “M” to verify the switches
are backlit (door closed) and not backlit (door
open) at the proper times. If necessary, adjust the
switches (page 25).
7. Complete a microwave leakage test (page 26).
Adjusting the Oven Door
WARNING: This procedure is performed
while the oven is hot. To avoid burns, be
careful when adjusting the door.
1. Open the door and remove the plastic caps.
2. Loosen the two hex screws and close the door.
3. Tap the center of the door to allow the door
and frame to align properly. The hinge springs
will pull the door to the frame; do not push
on either side, rather only in the center.
4. Tighten the screws and reinstall the caps.
5. Plug in the oven and perform a microwave
leakage test (see page 26).
1. Ensure the oven has cooled to 150°F (66°C).
2. Open the oven door to its full open position
and insert rivets, screws, or nails (Figure 37)
to hold the hinges in the open position.
Figure 37: Use Rivet, Screw, or Nail to Hold Hinge Open
3. Remove the plastic caps and using a
5
/16” hex
driver, remove the hex cap screws (2 per side).
This will allow the hinge blocks to be removed
together with the door.
Critical Adjustment Notes
If the top or bottom of the door is rotated away
from the oven cavity frame, the door is misaligned.
Corrective Action
1. Loosen the hex screws and push the door
towards the flange.
2. The hinge springs will naturally pull the door
to the flange. Tap the center to ensure a level
surface and proper seal.
NOTE: Do not push one end at a time, which
could cause the opposite end to lift away from
the flange.
3. Re-tighten the hex screws.
4. Pull the door open only 0.25” (6 mm) and let go
of the handle.

The door must completely snap shut on its own. If the
door sticks or force is needed to finish closing it, it is
out of adjustment.
WARNING: Perform a microwave leakage test
(page 26) after adjusting the oven door.
Interlock Switches
The primary, secondary, and monitor interlock
switches engage and disengage in sequence to ensure
a proper seal. When the door is opened, the switch
sequence is P, S, M. Subsequently, the sequence is M,
S, P when the door is closed.
Relay - K3 Monitor
The K3 relay is a 240 VAC, 24 VDC coil, 20 amp,
sealed dual-pole relay. It shorts L1 and L2, which
blows the F3 fuse if the monitor switch opens before
the primary or secondary switches.
Adjusting the Primary, Secondary, and
Monitor Switches
WARNING: This procedure is performed while
the oven is hot. To avoid burns, be careful
when adjusting the switches.
Use the following procedure to adjust the primary,
secondary, and monitor switches. The secondary
switch is located on the left side hinge assembly
and the monitor switch is located on the right side
hinge assembly. The primary switch is located on the
upper-left corner of the oven and utilizes an actuator
(attached to the door) and toggle assembly (attached to
the chassis) to engage (Figure 38). For switch assembly
details, see page A-8 for the Encore and page A-24 for
the Encore 2.
1. Ensure the oven has been at operating temperature
for at least fifteen minutes.
2. If adjusting the primary switch, confirm the
primary switch’s latch toggle is in the correct
position (Figure 38).
a. Visually inspect the latch toggle position and
verify it is angled at no less than 85° and no more
than 90° in reference to the front flange (oven
face). See Figure 38.
b. If the toggle is less than 85° or greater than 90°,
correct the toggle’s position by installing a
spacer/shim (the more distance from the flange,
the less angle on the toggle):
- NGC-1169-1: Shim, 0.030” (0.762 mm)
- NGC-1169-2: Shim, 0.045” (1.143 mm)
c. Verify the position of the toggle by opening and
closing the oven door several times.
3. Adjust the switch(es):
a. Enter Test Mode (page 19).
b. Open the oven door and view the status
indicators at the bottom of the screen to
verify P, S, and M disengage in sequence.
c. Close the oven door and verify M, S, and P
engage in sequence.
d. If the switches do not engage or disengage in
sequence, close the door and adjust the
necessary switch(es) by loosening the two #4-40
screws and #8-32 screw until the proper
sequence is achieved.
NOTE: DO NOT allow the switch paddle to rest on
the body of the switch in the closed door position.
The final adjustment requires a minimum of a 0.030”
(0.762 mm) gap to avoid over-travel and bent/
damaged switches.
0.030” (0.762 mm) Gap

85°-90° Angle
4. Open and close the door several times to verify
the switch gap.
5. Energize the microwave system and open the
oven door.
6. Verify the W indicator is backlit, meaning
the microwave system turns off when the door
is open.
7. Perform a microwave leakage test (page 26).

Measuring RF Leakage for Microwave Safety
WARNING: This procedure requires work with
hot surfaces and water loads. To avoid burns, be
careful when testing.
An RF (microwave) leakage test must be performed at
the conclusion of the following service tasks:
- Door removal, replacement and/or adjustment
- Waveguide removal and/or replacement
- Magnetron removal and/or replacement
- Door switch adjustment and/or replacement
WARNING: If the unit fails the microwave
leakage test (leakage greater than 5mW/cm
the oven must be taken out of service immediately until the defect is corrected. In
addition, the CDRH Regulation 21 Subpart C,
1002.20 requires that leakage readings of over
5mW/cm
2
),
2
must be reported to the manufacturer.
7. As microwave leakage is observed while moving
the sensor, note any meter spike areas that come
2
close to 5mW/cm
for later re-measurement.
8. Replace the water load every 60 seconds until the
test is completed, and also after scanning the door.
9. Close the oven door and return the meter probe
to any “meter spike” areas and allow the probe to
remain in the “spike” area for 17 seconds. Note
the highest reading obtained.
NOTE: There may be several places on the door
where this procedure needs to be done. If so, start out
with a fresh water load each time a new area is measured, or if measurement of an area takes longer than
60 seconds.
10. After each test is complete, open the oven door
and dispose of the hot water.
To measure RF leakage,
1. Turn the oven on and allow it to warm up to the
set temperature (approximately 15 minutes if the
oven starts cold).
2. Once the oven has warmed up, place the oven
in Test Mode (page 19). From Test Mode,
select Manufacturing Mode (page 20).
3. From the Manufacturing Mode screen, select
“MW Leak Test” (page 21) and follow the
instructions on the screen (also detailed in the
following steps).
4. Place a water load into the cook cavity. The
water load must conform to the following
specifications:
- Volume: 275 ml ± 15 ml (1 cup/8 fl oz)
- Temperature: 68ºF ± 9ºF (20ºC ± 5ºC)
- Vessel: Low form, 600 ml beaker with an
inside diameter of approximately 3.35”
(85 mm) and made of Pyrex or equivalent.
5. Close the oven door and press the Enter key.
The microwave system will turn on.
6. Measure microwave emission around the door as
shown in the adjacent illustration, moving the
meter sensor at 0.5 inches/second.

The oven employs left and right microwave systems. In the case of an over-current situation, the
F3 fuse (20 amp) will blow, shutting off both systems immediately.
This section contains information about the
following components:
- Capacitors
- Filament transformers
- High-voltage transformers
- High-voltage diodes
- Magnetrons
- Magnetron cooling fans
- Magnetron thermostats
- Relay (K1 - Filament)
- Relay (K2 - Anode)

- Waveguides
1. Disconnect the oven from the power source.
2. Fully discharge the capacitor.
3. Isolate the capacitor from the circuit.
4. Check for an open or shorted capacitor by
placing ohmmeter leads between the capacitor
terminals:
- Escalating ohm readings = capacitor OK
- Constant infinite resistance = capacitor open
- Constant very low resistance = capacitor
shorted
5. If the capacitor is not open or shorted, set the
meter to measure capacitance and again place
the leads between the capacitor terminals. The
meter reading should equal the label value, plus
or minus 10%. If not, replace the capacitor.
Filament Transformers
For better operation and reliability, the oven
utilizes separate transformers in order to preheat
the magnetron filament.
This section also contains procedures for:
- Testing a capacitor (page 27)
- Wiring the filament transformers (page 27)
- Testing a filament or high-voltage transformer
(page 28)
- Wiring the high-voltage transformers (page 28)
- Testing a high-voltage diode (page 29)
- Testing a magnetron for an open/shorted
filament (page 30)
For information on accessing and removing parts,
see the Appendix.
Capacitors
- Capacitor rating is 0.91uF, 2500 VDC for all
60 Hz installations (except Japan).
- Capacitor rating is 1.15uF, 2500 VDC for all
50 Hz installations.
- Capacitor rating is 0.85uF, 2500 VDC for
60 Hz Japan installations.
Testing a Capacitor
The filament transformers are energized for
approximately five seconds prior to energizing the
microwave circuit via the high-voltage transformers.
When in operation, the filament transformers
supply approximately 3.15 VAC at 10 amps to each
magnetron filament. The filament transformers are
controlled via the K1 relay.
Wiring the Filament Transformers
The installation of filament transformers is straightforward. Filament transformers are wired in-phase
and in-line. Refer to the schematic detailing proper
wiring (page 48 for Encore and page 62 for
Encore 2).
To verify correct wiring (North America),
measure the voltages between terminals
1 & 3 on FT1 and FT2. The voltages must be 208
240 VAC respectively. See the table on page 29
and
for resistance values.
NOTE: The orange wire always goes to terminal
on US models.

To verify correct wiring (International), measure
the voltage between the taps on FT1 and FT2. The
voltage must be 230 VAC. See the table on page 29
for resistance values.

28OVEN SYSTEMS
High-Voltage Transformers
The high-voltage transformers are ferro-resonant,
which limits faulty currents and minimizes magnetron
power changes due to input voltage changes. The highvoltage transformers supply the high voltage for the
voltage doubler circuit. They are controlled via the
K2 relay.
Wiring the High-Voltage Transformers
DANGER: Never attempt to wire or
measure the secondary voltage values of the
high-voltage transformers. Lethal voltage
will be present.
The proper reinstallation of a high-voltage transformer
is critical. Upon removing a high-voltage transformer,
make sure to note where each wire was installed. Refer
to the oven schematic (page 48 for Encore and page 62
for Encore 2) for wiring detail.

3. Use an ohmmeter to check the resistance of the
primary and secondary winding. Refer to the table
on page 29 to determine if the transformer is OK. If
the resistance is different than the values provided in
the table, replace the transformer.
High-Voltage Diodes
The high-voltage diode (Figure 40) is assembled by
connecting several 1000-1500 volt semi-conductor
diodes in a series to increase the reverse voltage
capability. In the circuit, the high-voltage diode
conducts to prevent the filament voltage from
becoming positive, thus as the high-voltage winding
of the transformer goes to a peak of 2400 volts, the
high-voltage capacitor is charged to 2400 volts.
With the microwave system energized, the volt meter

When the high-voltage winding starts to go toward
negative, the high-voltage diode becomes nonconducting with the charged high-voltage capacitor
in series with the high-voltage winding. When the
transformer gets to its negative peak of -2400 volts,
the voltage applied to the anode body of the magnetron
through the ground path of the oven is -4500 volts.
The high-voltage diodes are rated at 16 kVDC.

DANGER: Never attempt to measure high
voltage directly. Death or serious injury could result.
1. Disconnect the oven from the power source.
2. Fully discharge the capacitors.
3. Connect the voltage meter in series with high voltage diode.
4. Using a multimeter set to DC voltage, connect
one meter lead to one side of a 9-volt battery and
the other lead to one side of the high-voltage diode.
5. Connect the other side of the 9-volt battery to the
other side of the high-voltage diode. DC voltage
should be present on the meter in only one direction.
6. Switch the meter leads on the high-voltage diode,
which will cause the opposite reading to be
visible. Depending on the voltage of the battery,
voltage between 5-7 VDC should be present in
only one direction and 0-0.1 VDC in the other
direction.
Magnetrons supply the RF energy at 2.45 GHz
and begin to oscillate when they are supplied with
approximately 4.1 kVDC at approximately .350 mA.
During operation, each magnetron will output a
nominal
1 kW of power.
Perform a microwave leakage test (page 26) after
installing a new magnetron or reinstalling an old one.
CAUTION: Do not allow debris to enter
the waveguides when servicing the magnetrons.
Magnetron Cooling Fans
The magnetron cooling fans (outer fans on the
back panel) are actuated by the K7 relay when the
magnetrons are in operation, and remain on for four
minutes and fifteen seconds after the magnetrons turn
off. They operate at:
- 208/240 VAC (60 Hz with voltage sensing)
- 220 VAC (60 Hz with no voltage sensing)
- 230 VAC (50 Hz installations)
NOTE: In the Encore 2, the magnetron cooling fans
are actuated by the K7 relay when the EC temperature
exceeds 120°F (49°C), regardless of magnetron
operation.
OVEN SYSTEMS
Page 52
30OVEN SYSTEMS
Magnetron Thermostats
The magnetron thermostats are “open-on rise.”
They are designed to open at 270ºF (132ºC), which
triggers an F5 fault.
NOTE: The magnetron thermostats are wired in
series. If one opens, the control will switch off both
magnetrons until the open thermostat closes. The
thermostats are self-resetting.
Testing a Magnetron for an Open/Shorted
Filament
DANGER: The only safe way to test a
magnetron is by a resistance test of its
filament. Never attempt to measure the
magnetron using any other method while the
microwave system is on. Death or serious
injury will occur.
1. Disconnect the AC power source and discharge
the high-voltage capacitors.
2. Isolate the magnetron from the circuit by
removing the wires from the F and FA terminals
(Figure 41).

fans are actuated by the K7 relay when the EC
temperature exceeds 120°F (49°C), regardless of
magnetron operation.
Waveguides
The waveguides channel microwaves into the cook
cavity. If debris or contamination gets into the waveguides, the life of the magnetrons may be shortened.
Be careful to not allow debris into the waveguides
when servicing the magnetrons.

Electrical Compartment Cooling Fan
The oven has three fans across the top of the back
panel. The center fan cools the electrical compartment. It is actuated by the cooling fan thermostat
when the temperature of the electrical compartment
reaches 120ºF (49ºC).
Electrical Compartment Thermostat
encountered by the motor controller, any cooling
fan, either filament transformer, or power supply.
The F3 fuse is designed to blow in case of an overcurrent situation encountered by the microwave
system (magnetron, high-voltage transformer, diode,
capacitor). It is also designed to blow if the monitor
switch opens before the primary or secondary switch.
Power Supply
The power supply outputs 24 VDC at 40 watts to
the control board and relays.
Relay - K6 Voltage
The K6 relay is a 240 VAC, 30 amp, three-pole,
double-throw, 24 VDC relay coil. Operational in
North America only, it switches between 208 and
240 VAC on the HV transformer and filament
transformer taps (depending on incoming voltage).
Through the voltage sensor, the oven defaults to the
240V position and switches to 208 if less than 222
volts is detected. 230V/400V international ovens and
all Japan models utilize the normally-closed (N.C.)
contacts of the relay (default position) to power the
microwave transformers.
The Encore cooling fan thermostat, located on the
RHS electrical panel, actuates the electrical compartment cooling fan via the K8 cooling fan relay. The
Encore 2 cooling fan thermostat, located on the top
electrical panel, actuates the electrical compartment
cooling fan via the K7 cooling fan relay.
Electrical Compartment Thermocouple
The electrical compartment thermocouple is part
of the control board and measures the temperature
of the electrical compartment. If it is above 158ºF
(70ºC), an F6: EC TEMP fault will display. The
control board checks the electrical compartment
temperature once every 60 seconds.
EMI Filter
The EMI filter helps suppress the amount of RF
interference emitted by the oven.

For North America models only. Voltage selection
is completed at the time of manufacture; however,
if incoming voltage for the store is different than
the preset voltage, the operator will be required to
select either 208 or 240 after turning on the oven.
The correct voltage will be enlarged on the screen,
identifying which option to select.
Wire Harnesses
The wire harnesses distribute power to the oven’s
electrical components. For oven schematic and
wire harnness drawings, see pages 47-59 for the

any issue diagnosed in the section “Non-Fault
Code Troubleshooting” on pages 43-46.
Filtering System
This section contains information about the
following components:
- Catalytic converter
- Air filter
- Vent catalyst
Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter, a VOC type catalyst, is
located behind the inside cook cavity wall and is
responsible for cleaning the recirculating airflow.
The catalyst functions by substantially lowering
the combustion temperature of grease entrained in
the air path to approximately the same temperature
of the airflow; thus the grease burns and breaks
down into CO2 and H2O as it passes through the
catalytic converter. The catalyst will operate most
efficiently at temperatures above 475ºF (246ºC).
cals containing phosphates, NaOH, silicates, Na
and Potassium Salts. These chemicals are found in
most commercial degreasers and cleaners; therefore,
only TurboChef
CAUTION: Clean the catalytic converter
with TurboChef Oven Cleaner and rinse
thoroughly with distilled water. Let the
catalytic converter air dry before reinstalling.
If TurboChef Oven Cleaner is not available,
use only distilled water.
®
Oven Cleaner should be used.
Air Filter
The filter is located on the back of the oven. It
helps prevent debris from getting into the electrical
compartment through the cooling fans. The filter
requires scheduled maintenance and occasional
replacement, as it must be kept clean and in good
working condition to ensure proper air circulation
to the electrical components of the oven. See page
5, step 5 for details.
Vent Catalyst
In addition to the main catalytic converter, the
oven contains a secondary catalyst in the vent tube
path. This catalyst further assists in the breakdown
of grease and particulate matter before the excess
air enters the atmosphere.
Troubleshooting
The following issues may occur in relation to the
filtering system:
- F9: CC Temp (if the catalyst is clogged with
grease and debris - see page page 42)
- Fire in the cook cavity (if catalytic converter is
clogged and oven is not regularly cleaned).
- Steam present at the top of the oven door or
when the door is opened (if vent catalyst is
clogged or vent cover is installed upside down).
- Electrical component failure (if filter is not
present or is clogged).
- Undesirable flavor transfer.
- Undesirable odors.

The catalyst material is very sensitive to certain
chemical compounds. Irreversible damage can
occur if the catalyst is exposed to cleaning chemi-

components, see the Appendix.
Fault Code Descriptions
To view the fault log:
1. While the oven is cooling down or off, press
the “i” key to access the Info Mode.
2. From the Info 1 screen (Figure 5, page 13),
select “Fault Log.”

press the soft key adjacent to the fault code.
84ºF (47ºC) of the set temperature or when the
heaters are tested in Test Mode (page 20, section
“Top Heater Test” and “Bottom Heater Test”).
F3: Magnetron Current Low
This fault is displayed when the current transformer
(CT) on the I/O control board detects less than 10
amps. The fault is monitored when the microwave is
on during a cook cycle or in Test Mode.
The fault is cleared from the display at the onset of
a cook cycle if the CT detects 10 amps or greater, or
when the magnetrons are successfully energized in
Test Mode.
F4: Door Monitor Defective
This fault is displayed when the control detects that
the monitor interlock switch opens before the
primary or secondary interlock switches. Additionally,
this fault will blow the 20-amp F3 fuse if the microwave high voltage system is energized when the fault
occurs. The fault is cleared from the display when
the oven is powered off and then back on.
F1: Blower Running Status Bad
This fault is displayed when the motor controller
indicates no running status.
The motor and motor controller are monitored
continuously in all modes with special handling in
Test Mode (page “Test Mode” on page 19). If a
fault is detected, the oven will stop cooking and go
to the “Cooling Down” screen while flashing “F1:
Blower.”
Upon turning on the oven, the control will attempt
to restart the motor. If the restart is successful, the
fault message will be cleared from the display. The
fault message is also cleared at the onset of cooking
or when the blower motor is tested in Test Mode
(page 19, section “Blower Motor Test”).
F2: Cook Temperature Low
This fault is displayed if the cook cavity temperature
drops more than 84ºF (47ºC) below the set
temperature during a cook cycle (registered after
five seconds into a cook cycle).
The fault is cleared from the display at the onset
of cooking if the cook cavity temperature is within

when the microwave is on (page “Test Mode” on
page 19).
F5: Magnetron Over Temperature
This fault is displayed if either magnetron
thermostat reaches 270ºF (138ºC), or if either
thermostat connector is disconnected.
The thermostats will reset automatically, and
are wired in series. The fault is cleared from the
display at the onset of a cook cycle if the thermostat
is closed and connected properly.
F6: Electrical Compartment Temperature High
This fault is displayed when the temperature of the
electrical compartment exceeds 158ºF (70ºC), as
measured by the sensor on the control board. The
electrical compartment temperature is monitored
once per minute.
The fault is cleared from the display if on the next
check, the thermocouple temperature is below
158ºF (70ºC).

F7: RTD Open
This fault is displayed when the control detects that
one or both of the RTDs is “open.” The display will
show “999º” indicating the RTD is open or
disconnected. The fault is cleared when the control
detects continuity.
F8: Heat Low
This fault displays when the oven is warming up
or during Test Mode (page 19) if the cook cavity
temperature fails to rise at least 14ºF (7ºC) within a
given 30 seconds.
Fault Code and Description
F1: Blower Running Status Bad
When Active Refer to...
Warmup Idle Cooking Test Mode

F9: Cook Cavity Temperature High
This fault will signal that the catalyst has “flashed”
due to excessive grease. The fault occurs when the
RTD senses +650°F (343°C) for more than 40
seconds but less than 2 minutes. The fault will only
appear in the fault log and will not terminate a cook
cycle upon discovery.
