Please distribute the attached information to sanitarians on your staff who work in the Food Program.

Attached please find IARC Guidance Document #04-04V regarding the new TurboChef Tornado Microwave/Convection Oven Model NCG that is being proposed in Subway Sandwich Shops throughout Minnesota. This document is very similar, but not exactly the same as IARC Document #03-01 issued April 9, 2003, which addresses the TurboChef Rapid Cook Oven Model No. C3. The emissions test for total particulate matter was much lower from the test conducted on the previous oven (0.5mg/m3 vs. 3.8 mg/m3). However, as you will note in the attached conditions for acceptance, unless there is a sufficient amount of general ventilation existing in the space, additional cooling capacity may

be needed and verified by a certified testing and balancing contractor.

If you have any questions regarding the TurboChef Tornado Oven Model NCG use, you may contact the Vent Committee Chair, Lorna Girard, at 651/296-1591 or at lorna.girard@state.mn.us

If you have any questions regarding the IARC, please contact Sue Hibberd at 651/215-0866 or at sue.Hibberd@health.state.mn.us
