Introduction Welcome to High-Performance Gourmet. The TurboChef 30˝ Double and Single Wall Speedcook Ovens use patented Airspeed Technology to cook food of exceptional quality up to 15 times faster than conventional ovens. TM As you familiarize yourself with this new technology and its advantages, you may have questions.
2 The Speedcook Oven Controls – Speedcook Oven Single Wall Oven & Top Oven in the Double Wall Model The TurboChef Speedcook Oven includes a state-of-the-art interface that provides built-in, on-demand information, and over 600 preprogrammed cook time and temperature settings. For an overview of the seven Speedcook modes, see pages 3-4. For a list of all preprogrammed cook settings, see the “Preprogrammed Cook Settings” document, included with this packet.
The Speedcook Oven Cook Modes – Speedcook Oven Single Wall Oven & Top Oven in the Double Wall Model Your Speedcook oven features seven Speedcook modes – Air-Crisp, Bake, Broil, Dehydrate, Roast, Toast, and Favorites – that enable you to cook a wide variety of foods. Three of these modes – Bake, Roast, and Broil – are traditional settings while the other four – Air-Crisp, Dehydrate, Toast, and Favorites – are new cook modes designed to expand and enhance your cooking experience.
4 The Speedcook Oven Dehydrate: Considered the original form of preservation, dehydrating food removes the product’s natural moisture by slowly drying it with a low heat. Manually, food can be dehydrated by placing thin slices on racks and allowing them to dry, assisted only by sun or air. To shorten the dehydrating process, the TurboChef oven utilizes low temperature air moving at higher speeds.
The Speedcook Oven 2. Select a food item and specifications. Use the outer CookWheel knob to select the Speedcook mode. In this example, “Roast” is selected. Your selections will appear across the top of the screen. In this example, “Meat” was selected and followed by “Lamb,” “Rack of Lamb,” and then “14 to 16 oz.” Use the inner CookWheel knob to select the item and item specifications. To make a selection, scroll to the desired option and press the inner CookWheel knob or “Start” key.
6 The Speedcook Oven 6. The cook cycle is 80% complete – make adjustments. NOTE: This step does not apply if the cook cycle is less than 2∂ minutes. When the cook cycle is 80% complete, a chime sounds, the cook cycle pauses, and you have the option to check your food and if desired, adjust the cook settings. If after 30 seconds the oven has not been addressed (door opened or inner CookWheel knob pressed), the oven will complete the cook cycle according to the original settings.
The Speedcook Oven Selecting a Recently Prepared Dish to Cook Your Speedcook oven automatically saves a record of your last 10 cooks, including any adjustments, giving you quick access to your most recently used cook settings. Follow the steps below to cook a recently prepared dish. NOTE: The settings for your last 10 cooks are saved in the oven’s temporary memory. If the oven loses power, the items saved under “View Last Cooked (10)” will be lost.
8 The Speedcook Oven Selecting a “Favorite” Dish to Cook The Favorites mode allows you to store and quickly access the cook settings for your favorite recipes and food items. To save a dish to Favorites, see page 15. To cook a dish already saved in Favorites, follow the directions below. 1. Select “Favorites” as the Speedcook mode. 2. Select the dish to be cooked. Turn the outer CookWheel knob to “Favorites.” Use the inner CookWheel knob to scroll to and select the desired dish.
The Speedcook Oven Making Adjustments During a Cook Cycle When a cook cycle is 80% complete, the oven chimes and cooking is paused for 30 seconds. This gives you the chance, if desired, to make mid-course adjustments to account for differences in food products and individual tastes. To make adjustments during a cook cycle: NOTE: For food items with a cook time of less than 2∂ minutes, the cook cycle does not pause at the 80% complete mark. 1. Cook an item (pages 4-6). 2. The cook cycle is 80% complete.
10 The Speedcook Oven 4. Confirm your selected adjustment. Confirm your selected adjustment by pressing “Start.” To return to step 3 and change the selected adjustment, press the “Back” key. NOTE: When an adjustment is made, only the power level changes – NOT the remaining cook time. NOTE: If “Cook Another” is selected at the end of the cook cycle, the oven will use the exact same settings used for the previous cook cycle – including any adjustments made at the 80% complete point.
The Speedcook Oven 4. Confirm your selected adjustment. Confirm your selected adjustment by pressing “Start.” To return to step 4 and change the selected adjustment, press the “Back” key. If “Cook More,” “Brown More,” or “Cook and Brown More” is selected, you will need to set the additional cook time. See step 5. If “Done Cooking this Dish” is selected, the oven advances to the “Save to Favorites”/“Cook Another”/“Done” screen. See step 9, page 6. 5. Set the additional cook time and press “Start.
12 The Speedcook Oven 1. Select the preprogrammed cook setting for the item to be cooked. (See pages 4-6.) 2.

The Speedcook Oven Adjusting the Temperature Like the cook times, preprogrammed temperatures have been calculated by a staff of professional chefs to yield optimal results. The first time you cook an item, it is recommended to start with the preprogrammed settings. However, once you develop a feel for the product’s outcome using the preprogrammed setting, you may wish to alter a preprogrammed temperature for personalization of specific products and recipes.
14 The Speedcook Oven Using the Advanced Cook Mode In the Advanced Cook Mode you can adjust the air flow and microwave power levels of a preprogrammed setting. In addition to customizing an existing setting, making adjustments in the Advanced Cook Mode enables you to develop new settings from pre-existing ones.

The oven will return to the “Begin Preheat” screen. Select “Original Settings” to restore the originally-programmed settings.

Precise analog control knobs provide ease of use when choosing from the five cook modes, while the display screen shows additional cooking information. The bottom oven can also be used as a proofing oven or warming drawer.
The Bottom Oven Cook Modes – Bottom Oven Double Wall Model The bottom oven features five cook modes – Convection Bake, Convection Roast, Broil, Roast, and Bake. In addition to these five modes, Warm, Proof, and Sabbath Modes further expand the overall capabilities of the bottom oven. Cook modes Traditionally, baking is to cook with dry heat.

Reference Q& A – Commonly Asked Questions The questions and answers provided below are divided into seven categories – operating the oven, making adjustments to preprogrammed settings, cook modes, cook cycles & cooking, cooking utensils, cleaning the oven, and oven sounds. If you have a question that is not addressed, please call Customer Service at 866.44serve.
34 Reference Making adjustments to preprogrammed settings: What if I can’t find my specific recipe? Can adjustments to a preprogrammed setting be saved? Will adjustments be saved automatically? If you cannot find an exact setting for your item, use the preprogrammed setting for an item similar to the one you wish to cook. At the 80% and 100% complete points (pages 9-10) you will have the ability to make adjustments to your item. Yes.
Reference Can I cook more than one item at once? When should I put glaze/sauce on my product? In the bottom oven (Double Wall model), yes. In the Speedcook oven, it depends on what is meant by “more than one item.” As a general rule, glaze/sauce should be added at the 80% complete point. Otherwise, follow recipe directions. If several items are cooking in the same dish – like vegetables with meat – then yes.
36 Reference Can I pop popcorn or heat water in the Speedcook oven? Can I have more than one rack in the oven? Yes. To pop popcorn or heat water, use the Microwave mode (see page 19 for more details). The Speedcook oven is designed to use only one rack at a time. However, in the bottom oven of the Double Wall model, up to six racks can be used at once. Can I reheat food in the oven? Yes. There is a setting under the Bake mode of the Speedcook oven for reheating. Choose “Bake” as the Speedcook mode.
