ii safety instructions
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 in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
Xdo not 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 OR REMOVAL
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly qualified person.
WARNING: If the oven is unplugged during service or maintenance, the user must be able to access and see the plug at all times to ensure that the oven remains unplugged. The plug must remain near the oven and cannot be placed behind another appliance or in another room.
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.
RF INTERFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS
This 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:
aIncrease the physical separation between this oven and the sensitive equipment.
aIf the sensitive device can be grounded, do so following accepted grounding practices.
aIf battery-powered microphones are being affected, ensure that the batteries are fully charged.
aKeep sensitive equipment on separate electrical circuits if possible.
aRoute intercom wires, microphone wires, speaker cables, etc. away from the oven.

Installation
Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the instructions below.
Unpacking Instructions
1.Remove the oven from its packaging.
2.Before discarding, check the packaging thoroughly for accessories and literature.
NOTE: Packaging may also be retained in case the oven may at some point be shipped somewhere else or returned to the manufacturer.
3.Check the cook cavity thoroughly for accessories and literature.
4.Discard any packaging in the cook cavity.
Installation Warnings - Read Before Lifting Oven
WARNING: The Soˇta, Panini, and NGO ovens weigh approximately 170 lb. (77 kg). The Soˇta Single Magnetron oven weighs approximately 135 lb. (61.2 kg). Never lift with fewer than two people.
WARNING: Never lift the oven from the front and rear or by the door handle. Doing so will cause the door to misalign, resulting in a non-warranty service call.
WARNING: The oven must be properly placed on a food station at all times. TurboChef will not recognize a fallen oven as a warrantable claim and is not liable for any injuries that may result.
Installation Warnings - Read Before Lifting Oven
Continued
WARNING: This oven is not intended for built-in installation (i.e., installing the oven in any structure that surrounds the oven by five or more sides). Be sure to provide a minimum of 2” (51 mm) clearance for all sides and 5” (127 mm) clearance for the top.
WARNING: This oven is not intended to be stacked without appropriate hardware. Contact TurboChef for details.
Lifting and Placing the Oven
1.Prepare a surface at least 26” (660 mm) deep and capable of supporting the following: Soˇta, Panini, and NGO - 175 lb. (79 kg) Soˇta Single Magnetron - 140 lb. (63.5 kg)
NOTE: Do not remove the oven legs, as clearance is required for the bottom cooling fan.
2.Position one or more persons at the left and right sides of the oven.
3.Place hands under the oven and lift.
4.Place the oven on the prepared surface, ensuring no edges are hanging off the sides.
5.Ensure the oven rack is properly installed (attached to the bottom jetplate).
6.Plug in the oven.
NOTE: 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.
Installation Near Open Heat Source
When placing a TurboChef oven near an open heat source (Figure 2), strictly adhere to the following:
-If the oven is being placed near a grill or stove, a divider must exist between 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) between the oven and the divider.
-The height of the divider must be greater than or equal to the height of the oven (25.0” or 635 mm).
-Verify the oven location has a minimum 5” (127 mm) clearance on top and a minimum 2” (51 mm) clearance on each side.

Oven Restraint Kit
Part Number: TC3-0242
WARNING: The Oven Restraint Kit will not prevent the oven from falling off a countertop if the oven is pulled off or allowed to slide off the edge. Installation instructions are included with the kit.
ChefComm Pro
Part Number: CON-7006
ChefComm Pro® lets you easily create menu settings on a computer and upload them to an oven via smart card. For more information, call TurboChef Customer Support at 800.90TURBO or +1 214.379.6000.
ChefComm Limited
Part Number: CON-7016
ChefComm LimitedTM is a “read-and-transfer only” version of ChefComm Pro that helps ensure menu settings are easy to distribute, while preventing them from being altered at the store level.
Date and Time Prompt
The oven maintains a data log that contains valuable information about the operation of the oven, including faults, items cooked, and other events. An accurate date and time are important for the data log. If the oven loses the date and time as a result of prolonged disconnection from power, a prompt will alert the operator to set the date and time. The prompt will only occur once. If bypassed, the operator must update the date and time from the Info Mode Settings screen (see page 16 for details.)
Voltage Selection
For North America oven models, the oven will detect 208 or 240 incoming voltage.
If incoming voltage for the store is different than the factory-preset voltage, the operator will be required to select either 208 or 240. The correct voltage will be enlarged on the screen, identifying which option to touch (see Figure 3 below).
Figure 3: Selecting Voltage
Ventilation
The TurboChef i1 (models Soˇta, Soˇta Single Magnetron, Panini, and NGO) ovens have been approved by Underwriter’s Laboratory for ventless operation (UL KNLZ listing) for all food items except for foods classified as “fatty raw proteins.” Such foods include bone-in, skin-on chicken, raw ham¬burger meat, raw bacon, raw sausage, steaks, etc. If cook-
ing these types of foods, consult local HVAC codes and authorities to ensure compliance with ventilation requirements.
To ensure continued compliance with all health, building, and fire codes, you are required to maintain clean and sanitary conditions around your oven at all times.
NOTE: In no event shall the manufacturer assume any liability for damages or injuries resulting from installations which are not in compliance with the instructions and codes previously listed. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in the issuance
of a temporary cease and desist order from the local health department until the environment concerns are addressed.
