MICROWAVE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION
WARNING TO SERVICE TECHNICIANS
PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED BEFORE AND DURING
SERVICING TO AVOID POSSIBLE EXPOSURE TO
EXCESSIVE MICROWAVE ENERGY
(a) Do not operate or allow the oven to be operated with the door open.
(b) Make the following safety checks on all ovens to be serviced before
activating the magnetron or other microwave source , and make repairs
as necessary:
1) interlock operation.
2) proper door closing.
3) seal and sealing surfaces (arcing, wear, and other damage).
4) damage to or loosening of hinges and latches.
5) evidence of dropping or abuse.
(c) Before turning on microwave power for any service test or inspection
within the microwave generating compartments, check the magnetron,
wave guide or transmission line, and cavity for proper alignment,
integrity and connections.
(d) Any defective or misadjusted components in the interlock, monitor, door
seal, and microwave generation and transmission systems shall be
repaired, replaced, or adjusted by procedures described in this manual
before the oven is released to the owner.
(e)(i) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Federal
Performance Standard should be performed on each oven prior to
release to the owner. For U.S.A.
(e)(ii) A microwave leakage check to verify compliance with the Canadian
Regulation, HEALTH AND WELFARE, SOR/79 920 should be
performed on each oven prior to release to the owner. For CANADA.

SAFETY CODE
This manual is designed to assist engineers who have been on a recognised product
familiarisation and training course run by Merrychef. It has been prepared to offer technical
guidance for the Mealstream 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 any covers from the oven, do all of 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
electrical supply for testing, check all of the following points:
• All internal electrical connections are correct (see wiring diagram Page 44-47).
• All wiring insulation is correct and is not touching a sharp edge.
• All grounding 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
(see pages 27-29).
• The temperature sensor is correctly connected to the Power PCB.
Before finishing a service call, recheck the following points:
• All of the electronics are functioning correctly, and all of the touch pads are working.
• Microwave emissions are below permissible limit - 4 mW/cm².
• The power output of the oven is checked in accordance with page 24.
• Oven has correct 2 inch ( 50mm ) air gap all round and 2 inch ( 50mm ) above.
Air flow should not be restricted. (see page 6).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Installation Instructions for Mealstream Combination Ovens
Power Supply Requirements
The Mealstream Series should be connected to a suitable electricity supply, which can cope
with the switching-on surge that occurs with certain types of catering equipment, including
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" or Time Delay circuit breaker,
rated at:
50 Amp for 208V electrical supply ( 2PH + GND )
50 Amp for 240V electrical supply ( 2PH + GND )
If the oven is hard-wired to the supply, a double-pole isolator switch with a contact gap of at
least 1/8 inch ( 3 mm ) should be fitted.
Grounding requirement
This appliance must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an
equipment grounding conductor should be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the
equipment grounding terminal or lead on the appliance.
Canada models
US models
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 2 inches ( 50 mm )
clearance at the sides and rear of the oven,
and at least 2 inches ( 50 mm ) above.
Air intake temperature should not exceed 110°F/45°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 or a separate
shelf.
ALWAYS Place containers in the cavity
carefully - impact damage
may chip the vitreous enamel
coating on the runners and
baffle plate.
