READ THIS FIRST Before working on the TurboChef Technologies, Inc. C Series oven you must first read the safety instructions on the following pages. The C3 series oven is a combination convection/microwave oven. While servicing this oven, an RF meter must be used at all times to check for microwave leakage. This RF reading must be recorded on your work invoice.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES, THE FOLLOWING BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE STRICTLY ADHERED TO: WARNING!! To reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, injury to persons or exposure to excessive microwave energy: 1. Read all instructions before using the appliance. 2.
PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY 1. 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. 2.
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY 1. DO NOT operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open. 2. Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before activating the magnetron or other microwave source, and make repairs as necessary: a) Interlock operation.
C3 series ovens are manufactured in various locations, as such the C3/C and C3/Cmulti are constructed using the Metric System. Therefore, it is very important to note the model number of the unit you are servicing to ensure you get the correct Metric component. Care has been given in this manual to list the different part numbers for the Metric and Imperial (C3/AB and C3Multi) ovens.
RF INTERFERENCE CONSIDERATIONS This oven generates radio frequency signals. This device has been tested and determined to be in compliance with applicable part 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.

® The TurboChef C3/C oven utilizes two independent heat transfer mechanisms in order to rapidly cook food. The systems are as follows: Convection and Microwave energy. By combining these mechanisms and with our ability to control each mechanism independently, we are able to reduce the cook time of most foods by 70%-90%.
