BASIC CLEANING PROCEDURES  
PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH IMPROPER  
CLEANING  
2. Clean the ceramic cooking platter, and wave  
guide cap using brushes and scrub pads.  
Rinse to remove all cleaner and debris.  
Inspect for damage and replace as required.  
The oven may not be operating correctly because  
it is not being cleaned properly. If the door is  
leaking microwaves, erratic operation of the  
display and other electrical components can  
occur. Also food deposits left in the oven will turn  
into black carbon from the high heat. Carbon can  
cause arcing inside the cooking area and can  
reflect energy back to the magnetron.  
3. Reinstall the clean wave–guide cap into  
the oven. This will protect the wave–guide  
seal while the cook chamber is cleaned.  
4. To clean the interior of the oven, use a 3”x5”  
green scrub pad. Use only TurboCare®  
Oven Cleaner on tough spots. DO NOT  
wash out the interior cooking area. The  
waveguide quartz seal is not a water tight  
seal. Wipe out the oven with a damp rag. If  
the door area needs cleaning, be careful not  
to damage the small rubber gasket around  
the door shunt area.  
If a customer tells you they are experiencing  
cooking performance problems, carefully inspect  
the cooking platter and waveguide cap for chips.  
If the platter or waveguide cap are chipped and  
soaked in water, they will absorb the water. The  
water will then be heated instead of the food  
product. The chipped part must be replaced.  
5. Remove the lower access panel and grease  
collection pan. Empty, clean and reinstall the  
pan.  
DAILY CLEANING  
1. Carefully remove the ceramic cooking platter  
and wave–guide cap. Spray both pieces only  
with TurboCare® Oven Cleaner and set  
aside to allow the cleaner to penetrate. DO  
NOT soak the Ceramic Cook Platter or  
Waveguide Cap in water.  
6. Verify the louvers on the front and side of the  
oven are clean of lint and unobstructed.

TurboChef Technologies, Inc. C Series  
INTRODUCTION  
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%.  
For the purpose of this manual we will identify each independent heat transfer mechanism individually. For  
instance, if an oven is experiencing difficulties browning the food, you know to focus on the Convection  
Circuit not the Microwave System. If an oven is browning the food but not heating the food, you will know to  
focus on the Microwave System.  
The following block diagram represents the oven’s different systems and their critical components. If you  
are experiencing problems with any of the components listed below, please turn to the appropriate section.

Introduction  
Fault Code Introduction:  
The C3C oven has the ability to continually  
monitor and log various fault conditions. Some  
fault conditions will terminate cook cycles, while  
others will not. Please refer to Table 4-1 for fault  
codes:  
Note: To reset Fault Counter, Press the “0” key.  
LOW MAG CURR (HV BREAKDOWN) or F3  
MAG CURR – the magnetron transformer is  
drawing less than 7 amps. The normal current  
draw is approximately 9 amps. The current draw  
is being monitored by the control board which  
has a current transformer mounted on it. See  
section 6  
The Codes are listed in order of hierarchy. For  
example: If during cooking the oven experiences  
an F1 and F2 fault, the oven will only report a F1  
fault since the software will halt all actions upon  
discovering the F1 fault.  
LOW COOK TEMP or F2 LOW TEMP– the  
temperature set for the C3 SERIES is not being  
maintained within 84oF (46oC) differential of the  
Cook Chamber Setpoint. It is referenced by the  
cook chamber type K thermocouple. Note: It  
may also be controlled by the heat exchanger  
thermocouple. See section 5  
In addition if a fault is detected the fault counter  
will increment. If the fault is cleared the fault  
counter will not de-increment.  
MAG OVER TMP or F5 MAG TEMP– the snap  
disk on the magnetron has overheated and has  
tripped. Reference Chpt. 9  
View Fault Codes  
To view the Fault Log, press the “4” and “6” keys  
simultaneously in the Off State. The oven will  
display all logged faults. See Figure 4-1.  
BLOWER STATUS or F1 BLOWER – The  
control board is not receiving the proper output  
from the convection (blower) motor speed  
control. Reference Chpt. 8  
Each Fault Register will log up 255 instances  
before rolling back to zero. The Cook Count will  
log up to 65,535 Cook Cycles. Note: In order  
for the Control to log a Cook Cycle, the oven  
must complete the 1st Event of any given recipe.  
If a Recipe only has 1 Event, the oven must  
complete the entire Cook Cycle in order to count  
the Cook Cycle.  
ELEC OVR TMP (EC TMP HIGH) or F6 EC  
TEMP  
The  
electronics  
compartment  
thermocouple connected to the control board has  
detected a temperature above 140ºF (60ºC).  
Reference Chpt. 6  
OVEN DOOR OPEN – (during cook cycle) the  
cooking door has been opened during a cook  
cycle and has not been closed properly.  
DOOR MONITOR or F4 MONITOR: -- The  
control board senses that the Cook Door  
Monitor Switch is out-of-sequence with the  
Primary and/or Secondary Door Switches.

Defective Current Transformer on Computer Board  
SMT Board (T0265) Background:  
During the operation of the microwave system, the control board monitors current in the  
microwave circuit by means of a current transformer mounted on the controller board.  
The current transformer must see at least 6 amps in order for the microwave to energize.  
If it fails to register 6 amps, the I/O board may be defective and the oven will prematurely  
turn OFF the magnetron and display a "LOW MAG CURR/F3 MAG CURR" message.  
CT1  
Figure 6-2: SMT Board (T0265)  
Checking the controller current transformer  
Step 1: Place oven in TEST mode. Press BACK key until the oven screen displays " OVEN OFF" then  
Press and hold the BACK and ENTER keys simultaneously and then key in PIN # 9-4-2-8 (access code)  
then ENTER. This will allow you to enter into the test mode to manually energize the magnetron.  
Step 2: Place a load inside the oven (about 275ml of water or an approximate amount inside a coffee cup).  
Step 3: Clamp an ammeter on K4-1 wire (same wire going thru CT1 on controller board), and energize the  
magnetron by pressing and holding the MGTRON key for about 10 seconds. If your meter measures  
current (approximately 9 Amps+/- 2) and the W indicator at the bottom of the screen does not un-highlight  
while energizing the magnetron, replace the computer board. If the measured current is between 6 and 7  
Amps then double loop the wire thru CT1 twice, then perform a self test. If the self test fails then replace  
board.

"WHY DOES THE CIRCUIT BREAKER  
TRIPPED IF THE SWITCHES ARE  
MISALIGNED?  
"In addition to the High Voltage circuit, it is  
imperative to understand how the monitor circuit  
operates. The Monitor Circuit is a failsafe circuit  
that is designed to protect the operator if both the  
Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches fail to  
operate normally.  
DOOR SWITCHES AND CIRCUIT  
BREAKERDOOR SWITCHES  
The C series ovens have 3 door switches as  
mandated by law. The C3/AB and C3Multi have  
one door switch located on the left hand side  
(CDS) and is called the secondary switch. The  
other two switches are located on the right hand  
side (CDP & CDM). One is called the primary  
switch (CDP) and the other is called the monitor  
switch (CDM). The C3/C and C3/CMulti switch  
orientation is reversed, i.e., the monitor (CDM)  
and the primary switch (CDP) are located on the  
left side of the oven. The secondary (CDS) is  
located on the right side of the oven.  
The Monitor Circuit consists of the Primary  
Interlock Switch, Secondary Interlock Switch,  
Monitor Safety Switch, Monitor Relay and Trip  
Coil. When the Cook Door closes during normal  
operation, the Monitor and Secondary/ Primary  
Switches close in this order. When all switches  
are closed, the microwave system is allowed to  
operate. If during normal operation, either  
Interlock Switch opens, such as when the Cook  
Door opens, the Control system will turn OFF the  
Microwaves; however, if the Monitor Switch  
opens before both the Primary and Secondary  
Interlock switches, i.e., abnormal operation, the  
Monitor switch will de-energize the Monitor  
Relay. When this occurs, a dead short is placed  
across L1 and L2. The short then trips the coil on  
the circuit breaker, which permanently interrupts  
power to the Microwave system, thus terminating  
a cook cycle if the oven was cooking and  
preventing the heaters from energizing. This then  
requires a service call from a qualified technician  
to assure that the monitor circuit is properly  
repaired to prevent excessive microwave  
radiation.  
The monitor switch must close before the primary  
and secondary switches close (as the door is  
closed) or the circuit breaker will trip. If the  
primary or secondary switch is defective and not  
closing the screen will display a door open error  
message. To determine what sequence the doors  
are closing in, you will need to access the Test  
mode and activate the Test mode. By doing so,  
you will activate the status indicators at the lower  
left bottom of the display. Slowly close the door  
once you have activated the Test mode and  
observe the status indicators. As you close the  
door the M indicator must change from a  
highlighted state followed by the S indicator and  
final the P indicator. As you open the door, the  
sequence must reverse, i.e., P, S and then M. If  
this sequence is not correct, YOU MUST  
READJUST THE SWITCHES. See section 7-6.

DOOR SWITCH ADJUSTMENT  
Tools Required:  
allowing access to the switch brackets on  
the right side of the oven  
# 1 Phillips head screw driver  
# 2 Phillips head screw driver  
3/8” socket wrench (1/4” drive)  
Needle nose pliers  
Note: Refer to page 7-11, DOOR ADJUSTMENT,  
along with this section if the cam follower bracket  
assembly has to be adjusted and tightened. This is  
very important to prevent any potential damage  
to the door hardware from interference and to  
assure proper door closing tension.  
Large flat blade screw driver  
GOAL  
8. Check that the trailing arm is properly  
engaged in cam follower bracket assembly  
and trailing arm guide blocks. When the  
door is closed the trailing arms should sit as  
shown. See Figure 7-6a,b.  
The goal of this adjustment procedure is to have the  
Monitor, Secondary and Primary switches close in  
that order as the oven door is closed. The switches  
must open in the reverse order as the door is  
opened, that is, the Primary, Secondary and then  
the Monitor open as the door opens. This procedure  
is written to insure proper oven operation and  
compliance with Federal regulations.  
9. If the trailing arm is not properly engaged in  
cam follower bracket assembly or if it is  
hitting the assembly loosen the two 3/8”  
nuts securing the cam follower assembly.  
10. Cam follower bracket assembly has  
clearance at the bottom to move. Pick up  
on trailing arm to engage it in trailing arm  
guide blocks and move cam follower  
bracket assembly up into notch on trailing  
arm. See Figure 7-4. Tighten the two 3/8”  
nuts when adjustment is correct.  
ADJUSTMENT  
1) Remove the left and right side access covers  
(body sides).  
2) Remove the lower louvered front access panel.  
3) Remove oven top. It is secured in place with  
four 3/8” Nylock nuts to the upper frame sides.  
11. When properly aligned, the door should  
have no play when pushed in the closed  
position and when opened the first  
movement of the trailing arm should be up  
and over the cam follower bracket  
assembly (both sides of the oven) – See  
Fig.7-4. Additionally, when the door is  
closed, the trailing arms should “snap”  
down into position. To test this, gentle pick  
up one of the trailing arms approximately ¾  
inch and release it. The trailing arm should  
“snap” back down in to the same position  
each time. If it hangs or does not return to  
the exact position each time readjust the  
cam roller assembly.  
4) Remove screw located on bottom of left side  
corner trim (front of oven) and carefully bend  
the trim out of the way to allow access to left  
side switch assembly and associated hardware.  
(See Fig. 7-6 a & 7-6b ).  
RIGHT SIDE OF OVEN:  
NOTE: The C3/C and C3/Cmulti oven switch  
arrangement is different from the C3/AB and the  
C3Multi. The C3/AB and C3/Multi monitor and  
primary switches are on the right-hand side of the  
oven and the secondary switch is on the left-hand  
side of the oven. Regardless of their position on  
the oven, the procedure for adjusting the switches  
is the same for both types of ovens. See Figure 7-  
3.  
12. If it is determine that a proper adjustment  
can not be made, it may be necessary to  
reposition the bottom hinge on the door. To  
do this, loosen item 11 (see Figure 7-6) on  
both sides of the oven. With all screws  
loose, close the door and push in and down  
on the door. While doing so, tighten all  
screws on the hinge. Now repeat steps 7-  
10.  
5. Remove magnetron plenum assembly  
(secured by one PPH screw at rear of  
oven). The plenum assembly is located on  
the bottom right side of the oven.  
6. On models C3/AB and C3Multi it may be  
necessary to remove the 35 AMP circuit  
breaker in order to gain access to the limit  
switches. If this is necessary, label each  
wire prior to removing it from the Circuit  
Breaker in the following step.  
7. Carefully pull down two tabs on the bottom  
of the circuit breaker and pull the breaker  
up and out to remove it from the din rail

13. Actuator tab should be positioned as shown  
in Figure 7-5. It should be parallel to the  
primary switch lever. Adjust and bend  
(needle nose pliers) actuator tab as  
necessary.  
20. As the door is opened slowly confirm that  
all three switches operate in the correct  
sequence, i.e. as the door is opened the  
switches open in the order of primary,  
secondary, and then monitor .  
14. When the door is closed and the actuator  
tab is in contact with the primary and  
monitor switches the switches should both  
be closed. The actuator tab should be in  
contact with the switch paddles such that  
when the switches are closed there is about  
0.020” of clearance between the switch  
paddles and the switch bodies. Also, the  
actuator tab should be at or close to  
horizontal and be positioned approximately  
1/4” from the end of the monitor switch  
actuator tab. Adjust the interlock switch  
brackets by loosening the screws as  
necessary. See Figure 7-5.  
21. As the door is slowly closed confirm the  
switches close in the opposite order from  
above.  
22. If the sequencing is not correct, readjust  
switch brackets and or associated  
hardware until all criteria are met.  
SWITCH TEST AT TEMPERATURE:  
23. Reinstall main circuit breaker on din rail and  
reattach wiring to bottom of circuit breaker.  
24. Reattach left side trim piece and magnetron  
plenum assembly.  
25. Refit top cover and left and right side  
covers.  
15. Once the switches and actuator are  
properly adjusted, as the door is opened  
the primary switch should disengage before  
the monitor switch.  
26. Plug the oven in and set the temperature to  
525 F and allow the oven to come up to  
temperature and remain at temperature for  
15 minutes.  
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT: SECONDARY  
27. Refer to Chapter 5, and put the oven into  
test mode. At the bottom left of the screen  
are the letters P, S, and M. As the oven  
door is slowly opened, the background of  
the letters will light up indicating that the  
switches have opened.  
16. Refer to steps 8, 9, 10, and 11 this page.  
The trailing arm must be properly engaged  
in the cam follower bracket assembly and  
the trailing arm guide blocks.  
17. Again, the actuator tab should be  
positioned as shown in detail of Figure 7-5.  
Adjust and bend (needle nose pliers)  
actuator tab as necessary.  
28. Slowly open and close the door to confirm  
the proper sequence of the switches, P, S,  
M and M, S, P respectively.  
18. When the door is closed, the actuator tab is  
in contact with the secondary switch paddle  
and the switch should be closed. There  
should be approximately 0.020” of  
clearance between the switch paddle and  
the switch body. Adjust the limit switch  
bracket by loosening the screws as  
necessary.  
29. If the sequencing is not correct, remove the  
left and right side covers and adjust the  
switch brackets as necessary and retest the  
oven.  
30. If the sequencing is correct, while in the test  
mode refer to section 9-2 and perform the  
microwave radiation leakage tests.  
FINAL  
TESTING  
OF  
DOOR  
SWITCH  
ADJUSTMENT:  
19. After the door switch assemblies have been  
properly aligned and adjusted on both  
sides, confirm that with the door closed that  
all three switches contacts are closed.

pounds) to both sides of the door to  
squarely seat the door shunt on the  
oven face. Continue to apply this  
force while tightening the four screws  
on each side (two people are  
recommended).  
c) The cam follower assembly roller (#11)  
should be located on the ramp portion of  
the trailing arm with 0.020” to 0.050” gap  
between the top of the roller and the  
bottom of the trailing arm radius.  
d) Tighten the cam follower bracket nuts.  
2) Adjust the interlock switch brackets (#4) and  
actuator tabs (#3):  
d) By design there is a 0.030” clearance  
between the Phillips head screws  
securing the plastic shunt cover and the  
oven flange on the C3/AB and C3Multi.  
The C3/C and C3/CMulti gap should be  
0.060” (1.50 mm). Verify that one or  
more of these screws does not contact  
the oven flange and increase the gap  
between the sealing planes. This  
condition may be indicated by the head  
of the screw(s) marking the oven flange.  
If this is the case, the door may be  
warped or the shunt may not be flat.  
Adjust, repair, or replace the door so that  
when the door shunt is seated squarely  
none of the Phillips head screws contact  
he oven flange.  
NOTE: Refer to page 7-5 for the final door  
switch adjustment. This adjustment is  
completed after all door adjustment  
steps have been completed.  
3) Adjust the door pivot position for best  
alignment by inspecting for the following  
conditions:  
a) Ideally, the microwave sealing planes  
(the portions of the oven face and door  
shunt that overlap each other) should  
touch, since as the gap between the  
sealing planes increases, it becomes  
more likely that the microwave leakage  
will increase. However, because of  
manufacturing tolerances, the microwave  
sealing planes of the door shunt and the  
oven flange are not perfectly flat. The  
best door alignment minimizes the gaps  
between the sealing planes both top and  
bottom.  
e) Repeat adjustment steps 1 and 2 as  
required after completing door alignment.  
4) Adjust the interlock switches per procedure  
beginning on page 7-6.  
5) After adjusting the interlock switches the  
oven must be checked for microwave  
leakage. Refer to the page 9-2 for  
instructions and acceptable limits.  
b) If the hinge bars have been pushed too  
far into their brackets (#13), the lower  
edge of the sealing planes will be tight  
and there will be an excessive gap

combustion chamber for the airborne grease. The  
catalysts present on the filter lowers the ignition  
temperature of the airborne grease from  
approximately 700ºF (371ºC) to 450–550ºF (232–  
288ºC), allowing combustion to occur. The  
operating temperature of the oven directly  
determines the percentage of airborne grease  
conversion. A single pass of the air stream yields a  
20–30% improvement in air quality.  
Due to the nature of most foods and the physics  
governing the operation of the C3 SERIES oven,  
grease buildup downstream of the cooking  
chamber is inevitable. Strict cleaning regiments  
can solve a majority of the problems, however,  
recirculation of undiluted greasy saturated air is  
the main cause of downstream grease  
accumulation and any associated residual flavors.  
A problem with the catalytic converter is indicated  
by a decrease in the effectiveness of browning  
(caused by a reduction in airflow) or by flavor  
transfer from one food group to another.  
The airborne grease tends to collect and bake  
onto the oven surface downstream of the cooking  
chamber. This grease, due to the high operating  
temperatures of the oven, will start to rapidly  
decompose into derivative organic compounds.  
If you suspect the catalytic converter needs  
cleaning refer to figures on page 8-5 and below.  
These diagrams provide you with a location  
reference and exploded view (Note: The Return  
Air Duct Assembly Panel and the Terminal Heat  
Shield may be inverted on some C3/AB units. All  
C3/C units will have this assembly inverted). It is  
important to carefully remove the insulation and  
replace it neatly. The metal foil helps shield  
microwave emissions.  
These decompositional derivatives generally have  
positive and negative effects on cooking; the  
shorter chain derivatives add favorable flavor  
characteristics to the food, while the higher order  
carbon chains lend unpleasant flavor char-  
acteristics, such as bitter tarry tastes.  
IMPORTANT NOTE:  
The installation of the catalytic converter greatly  
effects the grease handling and any residual  
flavors which might build up over time. A properly  
The catalytic converter can be cleaned with  
TurboCare® oven cleaner and thoroughly rinsed  
with DISTILLED water. Let the catalytic converter

Convection Circuit  
IMPORTANT HEATER DISCUSSION  
CONVECTION ELEMENT AND  
THERMOCOUPLES  
The C series oven uses either an open coil or  
sheathed heater. The open coil element is  
obsolete, but may still be found in C3/AB ovens  
and C3/C ovens. This heater is susceptible to  
cleaners not approved by TurboChef. If this  
heater fails, it should be replaced by the newer  
sheathed heater (See Figure 8-3).  
The convection element (See Figure 8-1) is  
located in the rear back on the left side of the  
oven. It is controlled by one or two solid-state  
relays (K5 and K7), depending on model, located  
in the top, center of the control compartment of  
the oven. Each relay coil operates on 24VDC  
which is supplied from the I/O control circuit  
assembly. The temperature is referenced by two  
“K” type thermocouples.  
The sheathed heater consists of two individual  
heating elements encased within one sheath;  
therefore, when replacing the single–phase open  
coil heater with this unit on the C3/AB or C3/C  
you must wire the individual heaters in parallel  
When wired correctly the total resistance should  
be 12 ohms @ 240VAC (20 Amp draw). At 208  
VAC the total resistance should be 9 ohms (23  
amps draw).  
The HX thermocouple is in the rear of the  
oven by the catalytic converter.  
The CC thermocouple is located on the top  
left side of the oven near the front by the  
door.  
Changing Heater Operating Voltage  
How To Turn Heaters ON and OFF  
1) Press the BACK key until oven displays says  
OVEN OFF.  
2) From the OVEN OFF screen Press the BACK  
& ENTER keys simultaneously and key in Pin  
number 9-4-2-8 then ENTER.  
3) Press the HEATER key and verify that status  
indicators h and H go from the highlighted  
position h H to the un-highlighted position  
(this indicates the heater circuit is energized).  
All C3/C factory ovens are equipped with a  
208VAC rating heater and set to operate at  
208VAC, unless specified. If voltage supplied to  
oven is 240VAC then change oven setup by  
following the steps below:  
1) Press and hold the BACK & ENTER keys  
simultaneously and then key in 8-6-5-8 (VOLT).  
On the C3/AB and C3/C, only, one of the heater  
wires to the hot air element is looped through  
an inductance coil transformer on the I/O  
control circuit assembly. It must draw a  
minimum current of 7.5 amps to satisfy the  
circuit. If it does not, the “H” status character  
on the Test Mode display will be a reversed  
character H.  
4) Depress the HEATER key again and the  
heaters will turn off. Again this is indicated by  
the status indicators at the bottom of the  
screen h H.  
2) Press the number 4 to set the oven at 240  
then press the number 8 to select the heater  
rating of 208VAC. A small H will appear next to  
the OVEN OFF screen.  
3. Change wiring on filament transformer to  
represent supplied voltage.  
Pins 1 & 2= 200VAC-208VAC  
Pins 1 & 3= 240VAC  
Replace the thermocouple as follows:  
Status Indicators with HEATERS in the OFF  
mode:  
1. Make a note where the old thermocouple  
exited the compression fitting.  
2. Measure the distance from the exit point to  
the end of the thermocouple.  
3. Mark this distance on your new thermocouple  
with a marker or a piece of tape.  
P – S – M– t – h – H – A – W  
Status Indicators with HEATERS in the ON  
mode:  
P – S – M– t – h – H – A – W  
4. Install the new thermocouple  
Notes:  
In order for the heaters to energize the blower  
motor must be operational, usually indicated  
by status indicator A always un-highlighted.

Convection Circuit  
CONVECTION (BLOWER) MOTOR OPERATION  
The convection (blower) motor is a variable speed convection motor, which operates from zero rpm up to  
7000 rpm. The blower motor speed is controlled by a SP200 AC/Delta drive control. The speed of the  
motor is directly proportional to the applied low voltage to the SP200 AC./Delta drive control from the  
control circuit card. The blower motor operates during warm up cycle, the normal idle operation (for  
stabilization of the oven temperatures) and also while in the cooking mode at a set desired speed.  
Additionally, during the Test mode, which allows the technician to manually operate the blower ON and  
OFF to change the speed (0% to 100%).  
HOW TO TURN THE BLOWER ON  
1) Press the BACK key until displaying say OVEN OFF.  
2) From the OVEN OFF screen Press the BACK & ENTER keys simultaneously and key in Pin # 9-4-2-8  
then ENTER. Older units Pin# 8-3-1-7  
3) Press the BLOWER key to increase air speed from 0-100%. Each time the key is pressed and increment  
of 10% will occur on the air speed.  
4) Verify status indicator "A" at the bottom of the screen is not highlighted.  
P – S – M– t – h – H – A – W  
5) Verify that the blower motor rotates freely and does not vibrate from imbalance.  
6) Verify that the blower shaft rotates in the counter-clockwise (CCW) direction when viewing the shaft from  
the right side of unit.  
7) While in the TEST mode, Open the cook door and ramp the blower speed from 10-100% and verify air  
pressure is present from the top of the cooking chamber. If oven is cold then place your hand inside  
cooking chamber and as you ramp the blower air a substantial difference should be noted.  
Checking input voltage at motor controller  
1) Place Oven in Test Mode.  
2) Press BLOWER Key and Measure Voltage (DC) between Pin 7 (SP-200) or Pin AVI (Delta) and ground.

MEASURING FOR MICROWAVE RADIATION LEAKAGE  
The following RF emissions test must be  
performed every time a service call is done on  
a C3 SERIES oven. Report your findings on the  
work order.  
A) The tip of the probe should be touching  
the oven surface being measured with the  
probe handle perpendicular to the surface.  
B) Move the probe counterclockwise around  
the perimeter of the door starting from the  
upper right corner at a speed of less than  
0.5” per second. Be sure to probe entire  
door perimeter, returning to the upper right  
corner.  
The following areas must be measured when  
performing the RF test.  
Cook Door  
At any place on the outside of the oven (with  
all covers in place).  
8. Exit the diagnostic mode.  
Check for microwave leakage as follows:  
9. Repeat STEPS 2 and 7 with the cook door  
closed.  
1. Remove front bottom trim piece.  
2. Place a load in the oven for testing. The load  
must meet the following specifications:  
WARNING!!  
A) Load must be 275 ml +/- 15 ml of water.  
B) The water should be 77± 5ºF (25± 3ºC).  
If the unit fails the radiation test, the oven  
must be taken out of service immediately  
until the defect is corrected. In addition,  
the Code of Federal Regulations 21  
Subpart C, 1002.20 requires that leakage  
readings of over 5 mW/cm2 MUST be  
reported to the manufacturer.  
C) The container must be a low form, 600 ml  
beaker with an inside diameter of  
approximately 3.35” (8.5cm) and made of  
an electrically non–conductive material  
such as glass or plastic.  
3. Enter the TEST mode. Refer to page 5-3 for  
instructions for accessing TEST mode.  
4. Position the door leak test tool on the door  
handle. See FIGURE 9-1 for correct  
positioning of the leak test tool.  
5. Tighten the top screw to slowly open the door.  
Stop when the control panel indicates that the  
door switch has disengaged.  
6. Loosen the top screw slowly until the control  
panel indicates that the door switch has  
engaged.  
7. Test for microwave leakage as follows:  
This test must be done in conformance with 21  
CFR, Chapter 1, Part 1030-Performance  
Standard for Microwave and Radio Frequency

Microwave Circuit  
MAGNETRON CIRCUIT  
Overview of a microwave circuit  
The Monitor Circuit consists of the Primary  
Interlock Switch, Secondary Interlock Switch,  
Monitor Safety Switch, Monitor Relay and the trip  
coil on the 35A circuit breaker. When the Cook  
Door closes during normal operation, the Monitor  
and Secondary/ Primary Switches close in this  
order. When all switches are closed, the  
microwave system is allowed to operate. If  
during normal operation, either Interlock Switch  
opens, such as when the Cook Door opens, the  
Control system will turn OFF the Microwaves;  
however, if the Monitor Switch opens before both  
the Primary and Secondary Interlock switches,  
i.e., abnormal operation, the Monitor switch will  
de-energize the Monitor Relay. When this  
occurs, a dead short is placed across L1 and L2.  
The short then trips the trip coil on the circuit  
breaker, which permanently interrupts power to  
the Microwave system until both the Primary and  
Secondary Interlocks are repaired. See Figure  
below for a schematic of the monitor circuit. .  
The microwave circuit consists of a magnetron  
and a voltage doubler circuit. The voltage doubler  
consists of a special step–up transformer, a  
capacitor, a diode. In addition to the power  
circuitry in the magnetron the oven utilizes a  
filament transformer to pre-heat the magnetron  
filament before applying the high voltage to the  
anode. As for safety a monitor circuit is used to  
make the magnetron circuit fail in the failsafe  
mode.  
Monitor Circuit Description:  
In addition to the HV circuit, it is imperative to  
understand how the monitor circuit operates.  
The Monitor Circuit is a failsafe circuit that is  
designed to protect the operator if both the  
Primary and Secondary Interlock Switches fail to  
operate normally.

Magnetron High Voltage Transformer (102093)  
magnetron power changes due to input voltage  
The magnetron transformer is a ferro-resonant  
design which limits fault currents and minimizes  
changes.  
An  
automatic  
resetting  
over-  
temperature switch is embedded in the high  
voltage secondary winding and removes power  
form the primary winding if an over-temperature  
condition occurs.  
In the C3 SERIES a separate transformer is used  
to preheat the filament for the magnetron for  
better  
operation.

1. The Magnetron Transformer steps up the input voltage to approximately 2400 volts peak  
(4800 volts peak to peak).  
2. The High Voltage Capacitor charges to 2400 volts on the positive going voltage via the  
High Voltage Diode’s forward conduction.  
3. The Magnetron Transformer plus the charged High Voltage supply up to - 4800 volts to the  
Magnetron on the negative going voltage (High Voltage Diode is back biased).  
4. The Magnetron converts the negative input voltage (and Current) to RF energy at 2450  
MHz with approximately 60% efficiency.

Filament Transformer(102091)  
Background:  
Step 3: Press and release immediately the  
MGTRON key and observe the voltage at  
voltmeter, reading should be around 4.6VAC.  
The filament transformer is  
a
step down  
transformer from 208-240VAC to about 4-5VAC.  
This voltage pre-heats the magnetron filament  
allowing it to be ready once the magnetron is  
energized by the high voltage transformer. This  
method in the industry is known as hot start and  
highly used to increase the life expectancy of the  
magnetron.  
The filament transformer and stirrer motor are  
energized by K3 relay when the control signal is  
grounded at the same time, K1 relay is energized  
to provide power to the magnetron cooling fan.  
Both relays, by means of software, will remain in  
the ON state for  
3
minutes after the  
MAGNETRON circuit has been turned OFF. The  
typical failure mode of the filament transformer is  
intermittent operation, meaning that it may not  
delivered 4-5 volts to the filament of the  
magnetron, thus not pre-heating the magnetron  
filament. In this cases the current going to the  
high voltage transformer may lag. This can result  
in a "MAG CURR LOW" message.  
DANGER!!: Do not attempt to measure  
voltage at pins 4 and 5 of filament transformer  
without actually isolating it from the high voltage  
circuit (disconnect anode transformer, capacitor,  
magnetron and diode). If not isolated the circuit  
will have a potential of 4800 volts.  
Checking the filament transformer  
DANGER!! HIGH VOLTAGE  
Step 1: Disconnect anode wire from T1  
transformer (pin 7 or 6 on transformer) and place  
circuit breaker in the OFF position; this will isolate  
the high voltage part of the microwave circuit.  
Next, disconnect the wires going to the  
magnetron and connect them to your voltmeter  
(select AC mode).  
Step 2: Place oven in TEST mode. Press BACK  
key until the oven screen displays " OVEN OFF"  
then Press and hold the BACK and ENTER keys  
simultaneously and then key in PIN # 9-4-2-8  
(access code) then ENTER. This will allow you to  
enter into the test mode to manually energize the  
magnetron.
