Combination cooking enables high quality results to be achieved in a fraction of the time taken by conventional cooking, particularly when baking, browning, roasting and grilling dishes. Once established, precise instructions for combination or convection cooking of selected items may be programmed into the oven’s memory so that they can be repeated easily and accurately. Up to 1024 programs can be stored and simply recalled. Multistage Programming The oven controls oer even greater exibility by allowing multistage programming. This enables the exact conditions required for quality results to be set according to the food type. A single cooking program can have up to 6 stages, each stage controlled with its own time, fan speed and microwave power settings, (model dependent).

ENERGY a) Do not attempt to operate this oven with the door open since open-door operation can result in harmful exposure to microwave energy. It is important not to defeat or tamper with the safety interlocks. b) Do not place any object between the oven front face and the door or allow soil or cleaner residue to accumulate on sealing surfaces. c) Do not operate the oven if it is damaged. It is particularly important that the oven door closes properly and that there is no damage to the (1) door (bent) (2) hinges and latches (broken or loosened) (3) door seals and sealing surfaces. d) The oven should not be adjusted or repaired by anyone except properly qualied service personnel.

When switched ON the easyToUCH screen illuminates the oven controls. Note; turning this switch OFF does not isolate the oven from the electricity supply. easyToUCH SCREEN CONTROL PANEL2 See ‘OPERATION & CONTROLS’ for details. RATING PLATE3 Located on the rear panel of the oven states the serial number, model type & electrical specications. MenuConnect™ 4 A USB socket located under the Merrychef logo allows changes to programs stored on the oven (See USB MenuConnect™ User Manual, and Operation & Controls section of this manual, for details of updating oven programs). AIR OUTLETS5 Air used to cool internal components and steam from the cavity escape through the air outlet vents located on the rear of the oven and side panel of the e5 model. The air outlets must be kept free from obstruction and they will not allow microwave energy to escape into the environment.

The air lter situated at the lower front of the oven is part of the ventilation system and must be kept free of obstruction and cleaned daily as described under ‘Cleaning & Maintenance’. Note, the oven will not operate without the air lter tted. DOOR HANDLE7 This is a rigid bar which is pulled downwards and away from the oven to open. OVEN DOOR8 This is a precision-made energy barrier with three microwave safety interlocks. The door must be kept clean (see ‘CLEANING’) and should NOT be used to support heavy objects. DOOR SEALS9 These ensure a tight seal around the door. They should be kept clean and checked regularly for signs of damage.

PRODUCT DETAILS INSTALLATION

OVEN LOCATION AND POSITIONING

Choose a site away from major heat sources. DO NOT position so that hot air is drawn in from fryers, grills, griddles, etc. A heat barrier to the height of the oven must be installed if sited next to a burner, stove or range. Place the oven on a permanent nonslip/nonammable at surface that is LEVEL, STABLE and STRONG enough for the oven and contents. Allow a minimum clearance (A) of 2 inches (50mm) around the oven for hot air to escape. Allow sucient clearance (B), in front of the oven for the door to open fully. Position the oven (e4 & e5 models only) at least 36 inches (916mm) (C) above the oor. The air intake is located at the lower front of the oven (1) and it is important that the airow is as cool as possible and not preheated by other appliances such as burners, stoves, ranges, fryers, grills and griddles as this will deteriorate the life and performance of the oven. Do not ax labels/stickers to oven other than those applied or approved by the manufacturer. The oven will not operate without the AIR FILTER correctly tted in place. DANGER!

THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. FAILURE

TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH. HANDLING & STORAGE: When moving an oven always observe and follow National and local requirements for lifting and moving heavy objects. Do not use the oven door handle to lift oven. When not in use, electrically disconnect the oven and store safely in a dry cool place, do not stack ovens. The oven must be connected to an outlet that is properly installed and grounded. If in doubt consult a qualied electrician.
