THEORY OF OPERATION
THE THE
ORY OF OPERATION
The TurboChef NGC (Tornado) oven utilizes three
independent heat transfer mechanisms in order to
rapidly cook food.
The systems are as follows:
o
Convection
o
Infrared energy
o
Microwave energy
By combining these mechanisms along with the
ability to control each mechanism independently,
the NGC (Tornado) oven is able to reduce the cook
time of most foods by 70-90 percent.
Figure 2 below represents the oven’s different systems
and the critical components of each system. Should
a problem arise with any of the components listed
below, please turn to the appropriate section within
this manual for further instructions.
For the purpose of this manual, each independent
heat transfer mechanism is individually identified.
For instance, if an oven is experiencing difficulties
browning the food, focus on the Convection Circuit
and/or the Infrared Circuit, versus the Microwave
Circuit. Focus on the Microwave System if an oven
is browning the food but not heating the food.
