2 INTRODUCTION Introduction TO THE TURBOCHEF C3 OVEN IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS When using electrical appliances, the following basic safety precautions should be strictly adhered to so as to reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury, or exposure to excessive microwave energy: o Read all instructions before using the appliance. o Read and follow the specific PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY found on page 3. o This appliance must be grounded.
INTRODUCTION PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY To reduce the risk of exposure to excessive microwave energy: 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. ox DO NOT place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on the sealing surfaces.
4 INTRODUCTION OVEN DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS The C3 roasts, browns, and broils a wide variety of foods up to 10X faster and at a quality that meets or exceeds traditional cooking methods. Intense microwave energy combines with rapidly-recirculating hot air to cook food faster than conventional ovens without sacrificing product quality. The closed-loop airpath contains a catalytic converter that eliminates flavor transfer between foods and reduces airborne grease in the oven.

16 OPERATION OPERATING TIPS How to Develop Cook Settings TurboChef ovens use both hot air and microwave energy to cook food. If you have experience with either a convection oven or microwave oven, you will see similarities and significant differences. The key to creating good cook settings for your food is to understand the following concepts: o TurboChef ovens use a moving shroud of hot air to surround the food. This locks in moisture. o The hot air provides most of the heating and browning of foods.
MAINTENANCE Maintenance To help your oven remain clean and in good condition, follow the daily and monthly cleaning instructions provided in this section. Any unexpected issues you may encounter when using the C3 oven can often be resolved by referring to the troubleshooting information in this section prior to contacting your service representative. CLEANING Carbon and grease buildup will adversely affect the cooking performance and life expectancy of certain components of the oven.
