SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Instructions
Strictly adhere to the following safety precautions to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury, damage to
oven or property near oven, or possible exposure to excessive microwave energy.
General Safety Information
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Read and follow the specific "Precautions to Avoid Possible Exposure to Excessive Microwave Energy" found on
page ii.
This appliance must be grounded. Connect only to properly grounded outlet. See "Grounding Instructions" found
on page ii.
Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the provided installation instructions.
Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers (e.g., closed glass jars) may explode and should not be
heated in this oven.
Use this appliance only for its intended uses as described in this manual.
This appliance should be serviced only by qualified service personnel. Contact the nearest authorized service facility
for examination, repair, or adjustment.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Use only utensils suitable for use with microwave ovens.
The contents of feeding bottles and baby food jars must be stirred or shaken and the temperature checked before
consumption, in order to avoid burns.
Liquids, such as water, coffee, or tea are able to be overheated beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling. Visible bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from the microwave oven is not always present.
THIS COULD RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER WHEN THE CONTAINER
IS DISTURBED OR A UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO THE LIQUID.
Appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
X
DO NOT allow children to use this appliance. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the
appliance.
X
DO NOT use corrosive chemicals or vapors in this appliance - it is not designed for industrial or laboratory use.
X
DO NOT operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, is not working properly, or has been damaged or
dropped. See “Power Cord Replacement” found on page ii.
X
DO NOT cover or block any openings on this appliance.
X
DO NOT store this appliance outdoors.
X
DO NOT use this product near water (e.g., near a kitchen sink, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool).
X
DO NOT immerse the cord or plug in water.
X
DO NOT let the cord hang over the edge of a table or counter.
X
DO NOT use a water jet for cleaning. See “Daily Maintenance” (pages 7-9) for proper cleaning procedures.
Reducing Fire Risk
Remove wire twist-ties from paper or plastic bags used to facilitate cooking in the oven.
If materials inside the oven ignite, keep the oven door closed, turn the oven off, and disconnect the power cord or
shut off power at the fuse or circuit breaker panel.
If smoke is observed, switch off or unplug the oven. Keep the door closed to stifle any flames.
X
DO NOT
use the cook cavity for storage purposes (e.g., leaving paper products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity
when not in use).
X
DO NOT overcook food. Carefully attend to the oven if paper, plastic, or other combustible materials are placed
inside the oven to facilitate cooking.
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 doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
X
DO 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
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or a similarly
qualified person.
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, and has been tested and 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:
Increase the physical separation between this oven and the sensitive equipment.
If the sensitive device can be grounded, do so following accepted grounding practices.
If battery-powered microphones are being affected, ensure that the batteries are fully charged.
Keep sensitive equipment on separate electrical circuits if possible.
Route intercom wires, microphone wires, speaker cables, etc. away from the oven.

Theory of Operation
Utilizing TurboChef ’s patented technology to
rapidly cook food without compromising quality,
the i5 and i3 ovens maximize throughput and
versatility with a large cavity size and ability to
cook with most any metal pan. The control system
precisely coordinates independent top and bottom
impinged airflow with top-launched microwave to
deliver superior quality, throughput, and speed.
Integral catalytic converters allow for UL
®-
certified ventless operation.
This manual includes instructions for installing,
cleaning, and operating the i5 and i3 ovens. If you
have questions that are not addressed in this manual, contact Customer Support (800.90TURBO,
