Electrical Service
VOLTAGE, WATTS, RATED AMPERAGES & POWER CORD
CHART
All electrical work, including wire routing and grounding,
must conform to local, state and national electrical codes.
The following precautions must be observed:
DANGER
Check all wiring connections, including factory
terminals, before operation. Connections can become
loose during shipment and installation.
DANGER
Copper wire suitable for at least 167°F (75°C) must be
used for power connections.
•
The equipment must be grounded.
•
A separate fuse/circuit breaker must be provided for
each unit.
•
A qualified electrician must determine proper wire size
dependent upon location, materials used and length
of run (minimum circuit ampacity can be used to help
select the wire size).
•
The maximum allowable voltage variation is ±10% of
the rated voltage at equipment start-up (when the
electrical load is highest).
•
Check all green ground screws, cables and wire
connections to verify they are tight before start-up.
nWarning
This appliance must be grounded and all field wiring
must conform to all applicable local and national
codes. Refer to rating plate for proper voltage. It is the
responsibility of the end user to provide the disconnect
means to satisfy the authority having jurisdiction.
Units with plugs are supplied with approximately 9ft cords,
maximum 10ft.

Operation
DANGER
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that
operators are made aware of the inherent dangers of
operating this equipment.
DANGER
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord
or plug. All repairs must be performed by a qualified
service company.
DANGER
Never stand on the unit! They are not designed to
hold the weight of an adult, and may collapse or tip if
misused in this manner.
nWarning
DO NOT use the cavity for storage. DO NOT leave paper
products, cooking utensils, or food in the cavity when
not in use.
,Caution
Do not block the supply and return air grills or the air
space around the air grills. Keep plastic wrappings,
paper, labels, etc. from being airborne and lodging in
the grills. Failure to keep the air grills clear will result in
unsatisfactory operation of the system.
,Caution
nWarning
Some products such as whole eggs or sealed containers
– for example, closed glass jars – are able to explode
and SHOULD NOT be HEATED in this oven. Pressure may
build up and erupt. Pierce yolk with fork or knife before
cooking. Pierce skin of potatoes, tomatoes, and similar
foods before cooking with microwave energy. When
skin is pierced, steam escapes evenly.
All covers and access panels must be in place and
properly secured, before operating this equipment.
,Caution
nWarning
Do not contact moving parts.
nWarning
Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea can be overheated
beyond the boiling point without appearing to be
boiling due to surface tension of the liquid. Visible
bubbling or boiling when the container is removed from
the microwave oven is not always present. THIS COULD
RESULT IN VERY HOT LIQUIDS SUDDENLY BOILING OVER
WHEN A SPOON OR OTHER UTENSIL IS INSERTED INTO
THE LIQUID. To reduce the risk of injury to persons: Do
not overheat the liquid. Stir the liquid both before and
halfway through heating it.
DO NOT cover racks or any other part of the oven with
metal foil. Airflow restriction will cause overheating of
the oven.
nWarning
Do not heat sealed containers or plastic bags in oven.
Food or liquid could expand quickly and cause container
or bag to break. Pierce or open container or bag before
heating.
nWarning
Racks, utensils, rack guides, and oven surfaces may
become hot during or after use. Use utensils or
protective clothing, like pan grips or dry oven mitts,
when necessary to avoid burns.

Controls/Programming/Settings
The Merco Holding Cabinet has been designed to afford
foodservice operators the ability to cook menu components
in advance and then gently store that product in the
holding bins until an order is received. Once that order has
been placed, the crew can assemble the order using hot
and fresh menu components from the holding bins. This
allows for operators to serve to order, helping increase
speed of service while maintaining high product quality
standards.
The holding bin controller is, at all times, operating in one
of the following modes. The indents indicate the submodes. Sub-modes are defined based on the navigation
to the mode. I.e., to get to diagnostic mode you must be in
active heating mode then enter programming mode.

a heater has reached 180°F (82°C), it will be regulated to
the set point. The PRE-HEAT mode will be terminated when
all of the heaters have reached 180°F (82°C) OR 15 minutes
have passed.
During Pre-Heat mode, all button presses will be ignored
except the check mark button. If the check mark button
is pressed and held for (3) seconds, the displays will scroll
the message, Cancel Pre-Heat? If the check mark button
is pressed again, the unit will Cancel the Pre-Heat mode
and enter Active Heating Mode. If the cancel (X) button is
pressed, the unit shall return to Pre-Heat Mode.

Maintenance
DANGER
All utility connections and fixtures must be maintained
in accordance with Local and national codes.
DANGER
It is the responsibility of the equipment owner to
perform a Personal Protective Equipment Hazard
Assessment to ensure adequate protection during
maintenance procedures.
DANGER
Failure to disconnect the power at the main power
supply disconnect could result in serious injury or death.
The power switch DOES NOT disconnect all incoming
power.
DANGER
Always discharge the ht capacitors before working on
the oven using a suitably insulated 10mo resistor.
DANGER
Disconnect electric power at the main power disconnect
for all equipment being serviced. Observe correct
polarity of incoming line voltage. Incorrect polarity can
lead to erratic operation.
nWarning
When using cleaning fluids or chemicals, rubber gloves
and eye protection (and/or face shield) must be worn.
,Caution
Maintenance and servicing work other than cleaning as
described in this manual must be done by an authorized
service personnel.

EXTERIOR CLEANING
nWarning
Never use a high-pressure water jet for cleaning or hose
down or flood interior or exterior of units with water. Do
not use power cleaning equipment, steel wool, scrapers
or wire brushes on stainless steel or painted surfaces.
,Caution
Never use an acid based cleaning solution on exterior
panels! Many food products have an acidic content,
which can deteriorate the finish. Be sure to clean the
stainless steel surfaces of ALL food products.
The stainless steel outer case requires nothing more than
a daily wiping with a damp cloth. If, however, an excessive
amount of food particles/grease are allowed to collect, a
non-abrasive cleaner (hot sudsy water) may be used. Wipe
dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Always rub with the “grain” of the stainless steel to avoid
marring the finish. Never use steel wool or abrasive pads
for cleaning. Never use chlorinated, citrus based or abrasive
cleaners.
Stainless steel exterior panels have a clear coating that
is stain resistant and easy to clean. Products containing
abrasives will damage the coating and scratch the panels.
Daily cleaning may be followed by an application of
stainless steel cleaner which will eliminate water spotting
and fingerprints. Early signs of stainless steel breakdown
are small pits and cracks. If this has begun, clean thoroughly
and start to apply stainless steel cleaners in attempt to
restore the steel.

Maintenance
Section 4
INTERIOR CLEANING
,Caution
Do not use caustic cleaners on any part of the oven or
oven cavity . Use mild, non abrasive soaps or detergents,
applied with a sponge or soft cloth. Never use sharp
implements or harsh abrasives on any part of the oven.
DAILY CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Unit must be cool to touch and disconnected from
power source.
The product holding bin, bin lid and jet plate may be
cleaned via dishwasher or with warm soapy water. Care
must be taken to prevent water or cleaning compounds
from getting on internal parts, especially the switches on
the control panel.
PLASTIC TRAY CLEANING
,Caution
Environmental stress cracking can occur, proper dilution
and rinsing per detergent manufacturers’ directions are
mandatory.
1. Wipe the stainless steel outer case with a damp cloth,
rubbing with the grain of the steel. If an excessive
amount of food particles/grease has collected, hot
sudsy water (non-abrasive) may be used.
Food-approved detergents can be used if they are diluted
per manufacturers’ directions and adequately rinsed
away prior to high temp drying cycle. Basic alcohols such
as isopropyl are acceptable for hard-to-remove stains.
Otherwise, do not use organic solvents.
2. Remove bins.
