PRE-PROGRAMMED MENU ITEMS

For your convenience, the Merco Holding Cabinet has been pre-programmed with numerous food items that might
be useful with your application. A complete listing of pre-programmed menu items and their respective settings can
be found in the “Application Guide” section of this manual. If you decide to use any of these pre-programmed menu
items, move directly to Part Four of the Quick-Start Programming Instructions listed below. If you wish to create a
new menu item, please follow all four parts of the Quick-Start Programming Instructions listed below.

QUICK–START PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

This unit has the flexibility to provide the operator with numerous options throughout the programming process.
The instructions on the following pages will help you to easily navigate through the basic process of setting up the
food items and storing them to the desired bins. The information listed below has been formatted to provide you
with a brief overview of what programming steps will be performed on the following pages. Please read this
information first before beginning the five-step process.

PART ONE – ASSIGNING A FOOD ITEM NAME INTO MEMORY

Part one allows you to create a food product name you wish to save in memory. The display allows for the use of
up to four characters in assigning a name. So, if you wish to assign the food item “bacon”, you may want to save
the name as “BACN”.

PART TWO – TEMPERATURE SETTINGS FOR FOOD ITEMS

Food items may have unique temperature settings necessary to hold and maintain quality. As a result, temperature
settings need to be assigned to each food item created.

PART THREE – TIME SETTINGS FOR FOOD ITEMS

Food items may also have unique time settings necessary to hold and maintain quality. As a result, two separate
time settings need to be assigned to each food item created.

PART FOUR – ASSIGNING FOOD ITEM TO A STORAGE BIN

At this point all the necessary characteristics have been assigned to the food product created. The last step in the
process is to assign that food item (and its temperature and time setting characteristics) to the desired storage bin.
Once this has been completed you are ready to go back to part one and create the next food item.

NOTE: When programming the unit, the operator will have a maximum of 14 seconds between programming steps
before the unit will “time out.” If this happens the operator will be required to begin again with the first step in the
“part” (i.e., part one, two, three, four or five as listed above).

FOR YOUR CONVENIENCE, A PERSONALIZED PRODUCT SETTINGS CHART HAS BEEN INCLUDED

ON PAGE 20. AS MENU ITEMS ARE STORED AND SAVED INTO MEMORY, WE RECOMMEND YOU

NOTE THESE INDIVIDUAL SETTINGS IN THE CHART FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

FOOD PRODUCT NAMES

The MHC-22-GEN can hold up to 32 separate food items in memory. Each of these food items
are programmed by the operator with various temperature, time, and bin location settings.
These food items correspond to the four product storage bins of the unit.
