Installation Warnings - Read Before Lifting Oven

Continued

 

WARNING: This oven is not intended for    

 

built-in installation (i.e., installing the oven in  

 

any structure that surrounds the oven by five  

 

or more sides). Be sure to provide a minimum  

 

of 2” (51 mm) clearance for all sides and 5”   

 

(127 mm) clearance for the top.

 

WARNING: This oven is not intended to be  

 

stacked without appropriate hardware.  

 

 

Contact TurboChef for details.

Lifting and Placing the Oven

1.   Prepare a surface at least 26” (660 mm) deep  

 

and capable of supporting the following:

 

Sota - 175 lb. (79 kg)

 

Single Magnetron Sota - 140 lb. (63.5 kg)

NOTE: Do not remove the oven legs, as clearance 

is required for the bottom cooling fan.

2.  Position one or more persons at the left and   

 

right sides of the oven.

3.  Place hands under the oven and lift.

4.  Place the oven on the prepared surface,  

 

 

ensuring no edges are hanging off the sides.

5.  Ensure the oven rack is properly installed    

 

(attached to the bottom jetplate).

6.  Plug in the oven.

NOTE: The oven is primarily serviced through its 

top. DO NOT install shelving directly over the 

unit. The operator will be responsible for service 

charges incurred as a result of added time required 

to access the top of the oven.

Installation Near Open Heat Source

When placing a TurboChef oven near an open 

heat source (Figure 2), strictly adhere to the  

following:

  -  If the oven is being placed near a grill or stove,  

 

a divider must exist between the oven and the  

 

open heat source, with a minimum of 6” (152  

 

mm) between the oven and the divider.

  -  If the oven is being placed near a fryer, a    

 

divider must exist between the oven and fryer,  

 

with a minimum of 12” (305 mm) between   

 

the oven and the divider.

  -  The height of the divider must be greater than  

 

or equal to the height of the oven (25.0” or   

 

635 mm).

  -  Verify the oven location has a minimum 5”   

 

(127 mm) clearance on top and a minimum 2”  

 

(51 mm) clearance on each side.

Voltage Selection

For North America oven models, the oven will 

detect 208 or 240 incoming voltage.

The initial voltage selection is typically completed 

before the oven is used by the customer. However, 

if incoming voltage for the store is different than 

the preset voltage, the operator will be required to 

select either 208 or 240 after pressing the On/Off 

key to turn on the oven. The correct voltage will be 

enlarged on the screen, identifying which option to 

select (see Figure 3 below).

Ventilation

The TurboChef TurboChef Soˇta (model NGO)  

oven has been approved by Underwriter’s 

Laboratory for ventless operation (UL KNLZ list-

ing) for all food items except for foods classified as 

“fatty raw proteins.” Such foods include bone-in, 

skin-on chicken, raw ham¬burger meat, raw bacon, 

raw sausage, steaks, etc. If cooking these types of 

foods, consult local HVAC codes and authorities to 

ensure compliance with ventilation requirements.

 

To ensure continued compliance with all health, 

building, and fire codes, you are required to main-

tain clean and sanitary conditions around your 

oven at all times.

NOTE: In no event shall the manufacturer assume 

any liability for damages or injuries resulting from 

installations which are not in compliance with the 

instructions and codes previously listed. Failure to 

comply with these instructions could result in the 

issuance of a temporary cease and desist order from 

the local health department until the environment 

concerns are addressed.
