SAFETY CODE
This manual is designed to assist engineers who have been on a recognised product familiarisation and training course run by Merrychef Limited. It has been prepared to offer technical guidance f or the Merrychef Mealstream 501 range of Combination Microwave Ovens.
Please remember that it is wiser not to attempt a service task if you are unsure of being able to complete it competently, quickly, and above all safely.
To avoid injury to yourself, and to protect the appliance from possible damage, please follow this Safety Code when servicing these ovens.
Before attempting to repair the oven, check it for microwave leakage. Check that the oven is not emitting microwaves, even when supposedly not in
operation. Check that the oven is not operating continuously, whether the display indicates
cooking or not. Always discharge the HT capacitors before working on the oven using a suitably
insulated 10 MΩ Resistor
Before removing the rear cover from the oven, ensure you do the following:
Switch off the mains supply and remove the plug from the wall socket.
or
If the oven is hard wired, ensure that the power is turned off at the isolator switch.
Note:
The On/Off switch on the oven is not adequate protection against electric
shock, as it does not isolate all of the internal wiring from the mains.
Upon completion of a service on a Mealstream oven, or before reconnecting the appliance to the mains supply for testing, check all of the following points:
All internal electrical connections are correct (see wiring diagram Pages 26-27).
All wiring insulation is correct and is not touching a sharp edge.
All Earth connections are electrically and mechanically secure.
All door safety interlocks are secure and mechanically sound.
The door operation is smooth, and the arms run freely in the slots.
The door activates all three of the door interlock switches in the correct order.
The temperature sensor is correctly connected to the Power PCB.
Before finishing the service call, recheck the following points:
All of the electronics are functioning correctly, and all of the touch pads are working.
The power output of the oven is correct.
Microwave emission is below permissible limit - 5 mW/cm² (see BS EN 60335-2-90).
Oven has correct 50mm air gap all round and 50mm above.
Air flow should not be restricted.
Clean air filters are in place.

Installation instructions:
Installation Instructions for Mealstream 500 series Combination Ovens
Power Supply Requirements
The Mealstream 500 series oven should be connected to a suitable electricity supply, which can cope with the switching-on surge that occurs with certain types of catering equipment, such as microwaves. Because of this requirement, we strongly recommend that a separate, suitably rated supply is installed for the oven.
The supply for the oven should be fitted with a Type "C" circuit breaker, rated at: 30 Amp for Mealstream 500 Series (all models) If the oven is hard-wired to the supply, a double-pole isolator switch with a contact gap of at
least 3mm should be fitted and positioned close to the oven to allow the oven to be moved for servicing.
Positioning the Oven In order to maintain adequate ventilation for air intake and exhaust, and to allow access for
cleaning filters, you must allow a minimum of 50mm clearance at the sides and rear of the oven, and at least 50mm above. Air intake temperature should not exceed 35°C - excessive temperature will lead to reduced operating duty cycle or premature ageing of internal components. Failure to comply with these conditions will invalidate the warranty.
NEVER Install an oven above fryers, grills, griddles or any other major heat source. NEVER Stack machines on top of each other - always use a double stand.
ALWAYS Place containers in the cavity carefully - impact damage may chip the
vitreous enamel coating on the runners and baffle plate.

Procedure A - Power Output Test in accordance with BS EN 60335-2-90 Annex AA
This test is given in the BSI test standard for microwave ovens. It is reproduced belo w - not so that you can follow it, but to show you why it is impractical in normal conditions. A simplified procedure, which gives a good approximation to the BSI power output, is given in Procedure B which follows.
Note: This test can only be carried out on a COLD oven. If the oven has been operating, even for only a few seconds, the power given will be lower than the oven rating. This test must also be carried out at a stable voltage - the voltage in most kitchens varies considerably even within the period of the test. If the oven has been operating, go to Procedure B.
You will need:
A thermometer capable of reading to ±0.1°C. A cylindrical borosilicate glass container, 190 mm diameter, with a wall thickness of
3 mm or less.
A calculator. A set of scales capable of reading 1kg to an accuracy of ± 1g. A glass or plastic stirrer. A jug capable of holding over 1 litre of water. Drinkable water which is at a temperature of 10°C ± 1°C. A “Variac” or similar variable transformer capable of supplying the oven to ensure a
stable voltage.
WARNING: The Borosilicate Glass container has thin walls and is therefore fragile
- take care not to break it during use.
Method A cylindrical container of borosilicate glass is used for the test. It has a maximum thickness of 3mm, an external diameter of approximately 190mm and a height of approximately 90mm. The mass of the container is determined.
At the start of the test, the oven and the empty container are at ambient temperature. Potable water having an initial temperature of 10°C ± 1°C is used for the test. The temperature of the water is measured immediately before it is poured into the container.
A quantity of 1000g ± 5g of water is added to the container and its actual mass obtained. The container is then immediately placed in the middle of the oven base. The appliance is supplied at rated voltage and operated at the maximum power setting. The time for the water temperature to attain 20°C ± 2°C is measured. The oven is then switched off and the final water temperature is measured within 60seconds.
NOTES:
1 The water is stirred before its temperature is measured. 2 Stirring and measuring devices are to have a low heat capacity.
The microwave power output is calculat e d from the formula:
4.187 M
(T2-T1) + 0.55 MC (T2-T0)

Procedure B - Simplified Power Output Test
You will need:
A thermometer capable of reading to ±0.1°C. A Polypropylene tray approximately 200 mm x 200 mm. A measuring jug. A calculator. Water which is at a temperature of 10°C ± 2°C.
1 Measure 1 litre of cold water into the tray using the measuring jug. 2 Measure the water temperature, and record it as T[s]. 3 Place the tray in the oven and close the door. 4 Turn the oven on. 5 Set the timer to 1:02. ( For Manual controls use a stopwatch set to 1 minute 2 seconds ) 6 Press the “100%” power pad. 7 When the oven bleeps, open the door and remove the tray. 8 Stir the water thoroughly, and measure its temperature. Record this as T[e].
Calculation:
1 T[r] = T[e] - T[s]. 2 Power = 70 x T[r]. Power is in Watts.
The power given by the above test should be within ±10% of the rated power.
For Tim Hortons see APPENDIX 8
Procedure C - Power Transformer Test
You will need:
A Digital Multi-meter (D.M.M.) A Megger or similar resistance meter using 500V d.c.
