WARNING
The use of cabinets for storage above the
oven may result in potential fi re or burn
hazard.
WARNING
This appliance must be connected to a
grounded, metallic, permanent wiring
system, or an equipment grounding
conductor should be run with the circuit
conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on
the appliance.
• To Reduce the Risk of Fire in the Oven
Cavity:
o Use only oven-suitable containers in the
oven.
o Remove wire twist-ties from paper or
plastic bags being placed in the oven. For
oven cooking bags—DO NOT use wire
twist-ties to close the bag.
o If materials inside the oven should ignite,
keep the oven door closed, turn the oven
o and shut o power at the fuse or circuit
breaker panel. If the door is opened, the re
may spread.
o DO NOT cook items wrapped in cling wrap
or plastic lm.

to the oven if paper, plastic, or other
combustible materials are placed inside the
oven to facilitate cooking.
• DO NOT Touch Heating Elements Or

oven become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, DO NOT touch, or let
clothing or other ammable materials contact
the heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had su cient time to
cool.
CAUTION
The Speedcook oven uses a highspeed convection fan and a cooling fan
for optimum cooking performance. Air
movement from the fans can be heard
while cooking and during a cool down
period after cooking. This is normal.
The cooling fan should be operating
while the unit is in operation and will
cycle off and on during cool down. If you
notice the cooling fan is not operating
or you observe unusual noise, contact
an authorized service center before
continuing operation. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the oven or
surrounding cabinets.
Precautions to Avoid Possible
Exposure to Excessive Microwave
Energy
• DO NOT attempt to operate the top 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.
• DO NOT place any object between the oven
front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner
residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces.
• The oven should not be adjusted or repaired
by anyone except properly quali ed
personnel.
• 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), or (3) door seals and
sealing surfaces.

with applicable portions of FCC part 18
requirements and with the protection
requirements of Council Directive 89/336/
EEC on the approximation of the laws of the
European Union 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 any equipment experiences interference,
the following steps should be considered:
o Increase the physical distance between the
sensitive equipment and this oven.
o If the sensitive device can be grounded, do
so following accepted grounding practices.
o If battery-powered microphones are being
a ected, ensure that the batteries are fully
charged.
o Keep sensitive equipment on separate
electrical circuits if possible.
o DO NOT route intercom wires, microphone
wires, or speaker cables near the oven.

Your Professional TurboChef Oven
Your new TurboChef Speedcook Double Wall
Oven o ers you the versatility to cook all your
favorite foods in a fraction of the time they
usually require. The Lower (Convection) Oven
o ers you numerous features including warming
and proo ng modes. The Speedcook (Upper)
Oven combines innovative microwave and
convection technologies to ensure you crisp,
evenly browned pastries, meats and casseroles
browned on the outside with moisture and
avor locked on the inside, and so much more—
all in far less time than cooking these same
foods in a conventional oven.
Using the ovens together, you will bring
elaborate meals to the table in an hour or less
with each dish cooked perfectly and ready to
serve at the right temperature.
Convenience of Pre-programmed
speedcook
Settings
Every cook knows that getting the time and
temperature right for a particular dish can be a
challenge. In the Speedcook Oven, pre-set times
and temperatures are already programmed
for more than 700 food items, eliminating the
guess work. You choose a dish from the Food
Item menu and select the weight, the number
of pieces, the size of the dish, or a few other
variables. Speedcook does the rest.
Each food item has settings for time,
temperature, microwave power level, and air
intensity from the upper and lower convection
fans. These fans have been carefully tested by
professional chefs. Equipped with Patented
Airspeed Technology™, these fans can attain air
speeds up to 60 mph, cooking your
food much faster than even the best convection
oven.
Visible Arcing in the Speedcook
Oven
While using the Speedcook oven, a visible
“spark,” called arcing, can occur within the
oven cavity. The amount of arcing that can
occur depends on the amount of food being
cooked. For example, cooking a single mu n
is more likely to produce arcing than cooking
an entire batch of mu ns.
This type of arcing will not harm the oven or
a ect the food being cooked as long as
the oven is used correctly:
• Never start a cook cycle without food inside
the oven cavity.
• If using a metal cooking pan or baking sheet,
ensure the edges do not touch the oven
cavity’s sides, the inside of the oven door, or
the glass.

Your Professional TurboChef Oven
Getting Started
Flexibility of Adapting and Saving
Your Own Favorite Recipes
The Speedcook Oven will store up to 9,999 of your
favorite recipe settings. You can also adapt your
favorite recipes to get the cook cycle that yields
perfect results for each dish.
At rst, you will want to use the pre-programmed
settings, but as you become more familiar
with your Speedcook Oven, you will want to
use Advanced Setting (explained in more detail
on "Making Adjustments at the End of a Cook
Cycle" on page 30), to change cook time, oven
temperature, and even the cooking cycle—
including the microwave power and the intensity
of the upper and lower convection fans.
A Full Range of Features
To summarize, with your Professional TurboChef
Oven you will enjoy:
• The Speedcook Oven’s Patented Airspeed
Technology™, which cooks food 15 times
faster than conventional cooking methods,
retaining moisture and locking in avor for
superior quality. Proven technology in over
130,000 commercial kitchens worldwide.
• A total of 14 cooking modes: 8 in the
Speedcook Oven and 6 in the Lower Oven.
• These include broiling modes in both ovens
and 4 convection modes, where greater air
circulation is used to shorten cooking times
and cook foods more evenly.
• A temperature probe in the Lower Oven to
ensure perfect baking and roasting of meats.
• The ability to use Save to Favorites to store
cook settings for thousands of favorite
recipes.
• A concealed bake element for easier cleaning.
• Self-cleaning functions in both ovens.
Auto Reboot
If the oven is not being used and has been
powered on for more than 24 hours, the oven
will automatically reboot at 1 AM. The screen
will go blank and the sound will be disabled
during the reboot so as not to be an annoyance
in the middle of the night. It will reset within one
minute of the reboot. This process will only take
a couple of minutes to complete. The bene t
of having this feature is to allow the software to
run more productively and e ciently.
If the oven is being used, the auto reboot will be
skipped.

the Lower Oven is baking or roasting other foods
over longer times. Or you may be starting one
oven while nishing with the other or switching
it to a di erent cooking mode. For example, you
