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.

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.
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.
Page 14
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.
Page 15
The NGC (Tornado) oven has the ability to continually
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
9
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.

The Microwave System is the most complex system in
the oven. Proper care must be taken during servicing
to protect both the operator and technician.
OVERVIEW OF A MICROWAVE CIRCUIT
The Microwave Circuit consists of a Magnetron
and Voltage Doubler Circuit. The Voltage Doubler
consists of a special step-up transformer, a capacitor
and a diode.
MONITOR CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
In addition to understanding the High Voltage
Circuit, it is imperative to understand how the
Monitor Circuit operates. The Monitor Circuit is
a failsafe circuit designed to protect the operator if
both the Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches
fail to operate normally.
The Monitor Circuit consists of the Primary and
Secondary Interlock Switch, Monitor Safety Switch,
Monitor Relay and the F3 Fuse. When the Cook
Door closes during normal operation, the Monitor,
the Secondary and the Primary Switches close in the
order listed above. When all switches are closed,
the Microwave System is allowed to operate.
If during normal operation, either Interlock Switch
opens - such as when the Cook Door opens - the
Control System will turn Off the Microwave. If the
Monitor Switch opens before both the Primary and
Secondary Interlock Switches - abnormal operation
- the Monitor Switch de-energizes the Monitor Relay.
When this occurs, a dead short is placed across L1
and L2. The short then blows the F3 Fuse, which
permanently interrupts power to the Microwave
System until both the Primary and Secondary
Interlock Switches are repaired.
Figure 13 shows a schematic of the Monitor Circuit.
ake sure to note the following:
M
o
Primary and Secondary Switches interlock the
High Voltage Control Signal.
o
Normal Operation: When the K2 and K3 Relays
energize, power is supplied to the High Voltage
Transformers.
o
Abnormal Operation: When K2 is energized
and K3 is un-energized (via an opening of the
Monitor Switch) L1 and L2 short to blow the
F3 Fuse and failsafe.
Figure 14 on the following page details the theory of
operation of the Microwave High Voltage Circuit.

THE MICROWAVE SYSTEM
Prior to fully energizing the Microwave Circuits,
the Control energizes the Filament Transformers
for approximately three (3) seconds prior to
supplying the necessary high voltage via the High
Voltage Transformers. When in operation, the
Filament Transformers supply approximately 3.15
VAC at 10 Amps to each Magnetron Filament.

Wave Guide Covers (P/N NGC-1097)
Wave Guide Covers protect and seal the Wave
Guides from moisture and debris.
WAVE GUIDE COVER REPLACEMENT
The Wave Guide Covers keep moisture and debris
out of the Wave Guides. If contamination gets into
the Wave Guides, the life of the Magnetrons may
be shortened. In most cases, the Wave Guides will
not be contaminated if the Wave Guide Covers are
cracked or broken - it depends on how long they
have been cracked and how much product has been
cooked. However, if a Magnetron has failed and the
Wave Guide Cover is cracked, the Wave Guide may
need to be removed and either cleaned thoroughly
or replaced.
Figure 17 details the removal and replacement of
the Wave Guide Covers. To remove the Wave Guide
Covers, follow the steps below:
1. Locate the fourteen (14) #8 truss head sheet

Cover. If the screw heads are dirty, it will be
necessary to clean the heads thoroughly.

SURING RF LEAKAGE FOR MICROWAVE SAFETY
MEA
An RF (Microwave) leakage test must be performed
at the conclusion of the following service tasks:
o
Door removal, replacement and/or adjustment
o
Wave Guide removal and/or replacement
o
Magnetron removal and/or replacement
: If the unit fails the radiation
test (leakage greater than 4 mW/cm2), the
oven must be taken out of service immediately until
the defect is corrected. In addition, the CDRH
Regulations 21 Subpart C, 1002.20 requires that
leakage readings of over 4 mW/cm2 must be
reported to the manufacturer.
Procedure for Measuring RF Leakage
1. Place the oven in Warm-up Mode and allow it to
warm-up to the Cook Set Temperature (TSET).
This should take no more than 10 minutes.
27
With the Microwave System energized, the volt meter
will read
208-240 VAC. If the meter reads 0 VAC,
the High Voltage Transformers are most likely wired
in-phase. As a last check, energize the Microwave
System and verify the voltages between taps
1&2
and 1&3on each High Voltage Transformer. If the
voltages are not

A normal low voltage Ohmmeter will not provide sufficient voltage in the resistance ranges to
measure an impedance in the forward direction
of the High Voltage Diode.
How to check a Capacitor
1. Disconnect the oven from the power source.
2. Isolate the Capacitor from the circuit.
3. Fully discharge the Capacitor.
4. Connect the Ohmmeter between the Capacitor
Terminals. The Ohmmeter should momentarily
indicate a low impedance and then slowly return
to infinite resistance.
5. Reverse the Ohmmeter leads and repeat Step 4.
6. Check each terminal to case. Infinite resistance
(open) should be indicated.
How to check a Magnetron for Open/Shorted Filament
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 22.
3. An Ohmmeter connected between the Filament
Terminals (F, FA) should indicate a reading of
less than 1 Ohm. Figure 22.
4. A continuity check between either Filament
Terminal and the Magnetron Chassis should
indicate an infinite r
esistance (open).
How to check a High Voltage or Filament Transformer
1. Disconnect all the wires in question going to
the Transformer.
2. Use an Ohmmeter to check the impedance of
the Primary and Secondary Winding. Refer to
the High Voltage and Filament Transformer able
below to determine if the transformer is OK. If
the resistance is different then the table indicates,
replace the Transformer.

IR ELEMENT AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER
47
The IR Element and Catalytic Converter provide two
very different, but essential functions.
The IR Element provides the bottom browning similar to a residual broiler or salamander type
cooking appliance - required for cooking most food
items. The IR Element is independently controlled
via the IR Thermocouple embedded inside the IR
Element itself.
The Catalytic Conv
erter scrubs the air to eliminate
VOCs and grease particulates that are liberated during
the cooking process. It is important to properly care
®
for the Catalyst using only
TurboChef
en Cleaner
Ov
and distilled water. For more detailed information,
see the Catalytic Converter section below.
COMPONENTS
IR Element (100649)
The IR Element - a dual coil type heater - is located
in the bottom of the oven cavity. The first coil is the
heating coil. The second is the IR Thermocouple
(TIR) wire. The heating coil outputs 3000 watts at
208 VAC. The heating coil’s resistance is 14.4 Ohms
at room temperature.
The Thermocouple coil is a Type K Thermocouple
with a resistance of approximately 20 Ohms at the
splices located appr
ximately 6 inches fr
o
om the
heater and 40 Ohms measured at the extension
es at the I/O Contr
wir
ol Board.
The IR Element is controlled via the K5 Solid State
Relay (P/N 101284) and the IR Thermocouple via
the I/O Contr
ol Boar
d.
Catalytic Converter (NGC-1012)
a VOC type catalyst, is
,
ter
The Catalytic Conv
er
located behind the inside Cook Chamber 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 CO
2
and H2O as it passes through the
Catalytic Converter. The Catalyst will operate most
efficiently at temperatures above 475ºF.
The Catalyst material is very sensitive to certain
chemical compounds. Irreversible damage can occur
if the Catalyst is exposed to cleaning chemicals
containing phosphates, NaOH, silicates, Na and
Potassium Salts. These chemicals are found in most
commercially available degreasers and cleaners;
therefore, only TurboChef cleaners are to be used.
: 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, do not use a substitute. Use distilled water only.
IR ELEMENT AND CAT ALYST REMOVAL

IR ELEMENT AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER
Removing and Installing the Catalytic Converter
1. Remove the IR Element.
2. Once the IR Element has been removed, remove
the Catalytic Converter Clip (Item135) to access
the Catalytic Converter. Figure 34.
: It may be necessary to remove the
Blower Motor Assembly (see page 41) to get
access to the top of the Catalytic Converter.
This will allow the Catalytic Converter to be
pushed down out of the housing. Figure 34.
3. Remove the Catalytic Converter (Item 136).
4. Install a new Catalytic Converter.
Installing a new IR Element
1. Gently squeeze the new IR Element together in
order to get the Terminals and Lead Wires into
the cavity and through the mounting holes.
: Do not allow the Thermocouple
Lead Wires to kink. They are solid wire and
will break.
2. Once the IR Element is installed, expand the IR
Element in order to reinstall the Shim Washers
(Item 131) and Snap Rings (Item130). Figure 34.
: Be sure that the Snap Rings sit in the
grooves on IR Element.
3. Reconnect the IR Element Lead Wires to the
EMI Filter and the High-Limit Thermostat.
4. Reconnect the IR Thermocouple Lead Wires
to the Thermocouple Extension Wires – Yellow
to Yellow and Red to Red.
