INTRODUCTION
CAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
PRE
To reduce the risk of exposure to excessive microwave energy:
x
o
attempt to operate this oven with the door open. Open-door operations can result in harmful
exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks.
x
o
place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to
accumulate on the sealing surfaces.
x
o
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 door (bent), hinges and latches (broken or loosened), door seals and
sealing surfaces.
x
o
have the oven adjusted or repaired by anyone except a factory authorized service technician.
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 appliance is equipped with a cord
that has a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug 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
o
use an extension cord. If the power supply cord is too short, have a qualified electrician or
serviceman install an outlet near the appliance.
Power Supply Cord Replacement
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or a similarly
qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
: Improper grounding can result in a risk of electric shock.

THEORY OF OPERATION
5
THE THE
ORY OF OPERATION
The TurboChef NGC (Tornado) oven utilizes three
independent heat transfer mechanisms in order to
rapidly cook food.
The systems are as follows:
o
Convection
o
Infrared energy
o
Microwave energy
By combining these mechanisms along with the
ability to control each mechanism independently,
the NGC (Tornado) oven is able to reduce the cook
time of most foods by 70-90 percent.
Figure 2 below represents the oven’s different systems
and the critical components of each system. Should
a problem arise with any of the components listed
below, please turn to the appropriate section within
this manual for further instructions.
For the purpose of this manual, each independent
heat transfer mechanism is individually identified.
For instance, if an oven is experiencing difficulties
browning the food, focus on the Convection Circuit
and/or the Infrared Circuit, versus the Microwave
Circuit. Focus on the Microwave System if an oven
is browning the food but not heating the food.

THEORY OF OPERATION
OSSARY OF COMMON OPERATING TERMS
GL
Off State
º
All the oven’s control systems are off and the Cook Chamber Temperature is below 150
F.
Cool Down
A subset of the Off State. During Cool Down the oven will circulate the main convection blower until
the Cook Chamber Temperature is below 150ºF.
Ready State
Refers to an oven that has successfully warmed-up to the predefined Set-Temperature. At this point the
oven control is ready to receive cook commands via the Keypad.
Set-Temperature (TSET)
A predefined temperature at which the oven cooks.
Cook Chamber Temperature (TCC)
The actual temperature registered by the Cook Chamber Thermocouple.
Edit Mode
The mode which enables the user to change stored or predefined Recipes and the Set-Temperature.
Warm-Up
The mode when the oven is warming itself to the Set-Temperature.
Idle Mode
Similar to the Ready State. In this mode, the oven’s control may cycle the blower or heaters in order to
maintain the Set-Temperature.
Cook Cy
cle
A period of operation as defined by a Recipe.
est Mode
T
A special diagnostic mode that enables the service technician to turn on and off all oven systems
independent of one another
.
Keypad
The primary interface for the operator.
Display
isplays all visual information to the operator
D
.
Self-Test (STEST)
A special diagnostic function that tests all critical subsystems to determine their operational state.
Recipe
A set of user defined Events that determine a Cook Cycle.
THEORY OF OPERATION
Events
A single operational element that is a part of a Recipe. Each Recipe may have up to six Events depending
on programming. Each Event lasts a percentage of the Total Cook Time and can be set between 0 and
100% of the Total Cook Time. The sum of all the Event Percent (%) Times must equal 100%.
Total Cook Time
The total duration of a Recipe.
Percentage (%) Time
An event subset that specifies the duration of the Event.
Percentage (%) Air
An event subset that specifies the relative amount of impingement airflow (speed of convection motor)
during the E
vent. Valid between 10 and 100%.
: Maximum 100% = 7100 RPM Blower Motor Speed. Blower Motor Speed scale is linear.
7
Percentage (%) Microwave (MW)
An event subset specifying the microwave cycle (on time) during the Event. Valid between 0 and 100%.
Fault Code
A code assigned to an Event that the Control considers to be a failure. Upon discovering a Fault, the
Control will display the Fault Code and a brief description of the failure. The Control will also increment
the Fault Code Counter.
Error Message
A message that is displayed when an unusual event occurs. The Control will display the Error Message
only when it occurs. Error Messages are not logged in the Fault Code Counter.

monitor and log various fault conditions. Some fault
conditions will terminate Cook Cycles, while others
will not. Please refer to the Fault Code Table on
page 10 for more detailed information.
When a fault is detected, the Fault Code Counter
will increment. However, if the fault is subsequently
cleared by some action, whether service related or
not, the Fault Code Counter will not decrement.
FAULT CODES

TO VIEW FAULT CODES
To view the Fault Log, press the “4” and “6” Keys
simultaneously while the oven is in the Off State.
The oven will display all faults logged. Figure 3.
Each Fault Log will log up 255 instances before
rolling back to zero. Press the “0” Key to reset the
Fault Code Counter.
: The Fault Log also displays the Cook
Counter, which will log up to 65,535 Cook Cycles.
In order for the Control to log a Cook Cycle, the
oven must complete the first Event of any given
Recipe. If a Recipe only has one (1) Event, the oven
must complete the entire Cook Cycle in order to
count the Cook Cycle.

F2: Cook Temperature Low
Fault is displayed if the Cook Chamber Temperature

five (5) seconds into a Cook Cycle.
The fault is cleared at the onset of cooking if the

The fault is cleared at the onset of a Cook Cycle if
the CT detects current or when the magnetron is
successfully energized in the Test Mode.
The Motor and Motor Controller state is monitored
