T
heory of Operation
U
tilizing TurboChef’s patented technology to rapidly
cook food without compr
omising quality, the i3 oven
provides superior cooking performance while
r
equiring minimal space and energy consumption.
The control system precisely coordinates independent
top and bottom impinged airflow with microwave to
deliver superior quality and throughput. The toplaunched microwave system allows for use of most
standard metal pans, and integral catalytic converters

two people.
WARNING: Lift the oven only by using the
pr
ovided hand grips. Never lift the oven by the
door handle.
WARNING: The oven must be properly
placed on a table or countertop at all times.
T
urboChef will not recognize a fallen oven as
a warrantable claim and is not liable for any
injuries that may result.
W
ARNING: This oven is not intended for
built-in installation (i.e., installing the o
ven in
any structure that surrounds the oven by five
or mor
e sides). Be sure to provide a minimum
of 2” (51 mm) clearance for all sides and 19”
(483 mm) clearance for the top.
1. Prepare a surface that is at least 30” (762 mm)
deep and capable of suppor
ting 250 lb
. (113 kg).
I
f installing onto an oven cart, make sure the
wheels/casters ar
e locked.
2. Position one or more persons at the front and
rear of the oven.
3. Place hands into grips (see Figure 2) and lift.
4. Place the oven on the prepared surface or cart,
ensuring no edges are hanging off the sides.
5. Install the oven rack.
6. Plug in the oven.
NO
TE: The oven is primarily serviced through its
top
. DO NOT install shelving directly over the unit.
The operator will be responsible for service charges
incurred as a result of added time required to access
the top of the oven.

TIONS AND INST
ALLA
TION
Installation Near Open Heat Source
See Figure 4, page 5. When placing a TurboChef oven near
an open heat sour
ce, strictly adhere to the following:
- If the oven is being placed near a grill or stove,
a divider must exist betw
een the oven and the
open heat source, with a minimum of 6” (152
mm) between the oven and the divider.
- If the oven is being placed near a fryer, a
divider must exist between the oven and fryer,
with a minimum of 12” (305 mm) betw
een
the oven and the divider.
- The height of the divider must be greater than
or equal to the height of the oven (21.25” or
540 mm).
- Verify the oven location has a minimum 19” (483
mm) clearance on top and a minimum 2” (51
mm) of clearance on each side.

V
oltage Selection
F
or N
orth America oven models, the oven will detect
208 or 240 incoming v
oltage.
The initial v
oltage selection is typically completed
befor
e the oven is used by the customer. However, if
incoming v
oltage for the store is different than the pre-
set v
oltage, the operator will be required to select
either 208 or 240 after pressing the On/Off key to
turn on the o
ven. The correct voltage will be enlarged
on the screen, identifying which option to select (see
Figure 3 below).
Ventilation Requirements
The
TurboChef model i3 oven has been approved by
U
nderwriter’s Laboratory for ventless operation (UL
710B, KNLZ listing) for all food items ex
cept for
foods classified as “fatty raw proteins.” Such foods
include bone-in, skin-on chicken, raw hamburger
meat, raw bacon, raw sausage, steaks, etc. If cooking
these types of foods, consult local HV
A
C codes and
authorities to ensur
e compliance with v
entilation
requirements.NOTE: In no event shall the manufacturer assume any liability for damages or injuries
r
esulting from installations which are not in compli-
ance with the instr
uctions and codes previously listed.

tep 1: Prepare the Oven
W
ARNING
:
The oven operates at approximately 500°F (260°C) and may
cause injur
y if not allowed to cool properly.
- Turn off the oven by pressing the On/Off key.
- Slightly open the oven door. Cooling takes approximately 40 minutes.
-
DO
NOT attempt to clean the oven until the oven displays “Oven Off.”
Step 2: Remove and Clean the Wire Rack
W
ARNING
: Be sure the oven interior is cool before you remove the wire rack.
- Wash, rinse, sanitize, and dry the wire rack.
Step 3: Remove and Clean the Lower Jetplate
- Unscrew the two thumb screws on the lower jetplate.
- Lift the lower jetplate by gripping the thumb screws.
-
Remove the lower jetplate.
-
Wash, rinse, sanitize, and dry the lower jetplate.
S
tep 4: Remove and Clean the Lower Air Diverter
-
Remove the lower air diverter.
-
Wash, rinse, sanitize, and dry the lower air diverter.
W
ARNING: DO NOT discard the lower air diverter. The oven will not work
without the lower air diverter installed.
S
t
ep 5: Wipe the Oven Interior
-
Wipe any large particles from the oven interior with a damp towel.
S
t
ep 6: Clean the Oven Interior
-
Spray oven cleaner onto the top, bottom, and sides of the oven interior.
CA
UTION: DO NOT spray oven cleaner into the holes on the back oven
wall. D
oing so can damage critical o
