12.Never attempt to deep fry in the oven.

13.The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

14.Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

WARNING

This appliance must be earthed. Failure to do so may result in electric shock and death.

The oven must be installed by a qualified and approved electrician . This equipment is not suitable for connection to mains supply via a standard 13amp plug.

The installation wiring (hard wired or socket fitting) must be in accordance with current IEE regulations and safety standards. The electrical supply lead is located at the rear of the oven.

WARNING: A double isolating switch must be fitted. This must have a 3mm contact break on both poles.

If you are in any doubt about your electrical supply, seek the advice of a qualified and approved electrician.

It is essential that the electrical supply is properly installed and earthed. It should be fed from a cicuit which is suitablefor very high power electrical appliances and it is important that this circuit is not overloaded.

GREEN

&

BLUE		BROWN

Establishments with standard ( Type ‘B’ ) circuit breakers are sensitive to ‘surges’ which occur on switching on freezers, refridgerators and other catering equipment, including microwave ovens. Because of this , we strongly recommend that a separate Type ‘C’ circuit breaker ( designed specifically for this type of equipment ) is fitted to each oven installation.

If fitted with a plug type connection then the socket should be located in an easily accessible position.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED

1.Read this manual before using your oven.

2.As with all electrical appliances, it wise to have the electrical connections inspected periodically.

3.The oven interior, door seals should be cleaned frequently, following the instructions described in the CLEANING section.

4.There is no need to switch off your oven after each function but remember to switch off at the end of the day or period of operation.

5.Microwave energy should not be used to dry linen or warm plates.

6.As with any cooking appliance, care should be taken to avoid combustion of the items within the oven.

If smoke is observed:

Switch off

Isolate from the electrical supply

Keep door the closed to stifle any flames

7.Ensure food is placed centrally in cavity for best results.

8.When using the microwave only function, cover the food to prevent splashing the walls of the cavity.

9.Food in combustible plastic or paper containers should only be used in microwave only function and checked frequently to avoid the possibility of ignition.

10.Items should be unwrapped when using convection and combination functions.

11.Eggs and whole hard-boiled eggs should not be heated using the microwave or combination function as they may explode.

12.Food with a skin, e.g. potatoes, apples, sausages etc. should be pierced before heating.

13.Food should not be heated in a completely sealed container as the build-up of steam may cause it to explode.

14.Excess fat should be removed during ‘roasting’ and before lifting heavy containers from the oven.

15.In the event of glass breaking or shattering within the oven, ensure that food is totally free of glass particles. If in doubt, dispose of any food that was in the oven at the time of the breakage.

INSTALLATION

Remove packing material and protective film from the oven.

Check for obvious signs of transit damage. If necessary, inform the supplier IMMEDIATELY.

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 hob, stove or range.

Note the minimum recommended clearance required for air flow

Note:

The air intake is located under each side of the oven, even with the clearance specified below it is important that airflow is as cool as possible and not pre-heated by other appliances such as fryers, grills and griddles as this will deteriorate the life and performance of the oven.

Place the oven on a flat surface that is LEVEL, STRONG and STABLE. Allow a minimum clearance of 50mm to the rear, top and each side to allow air to circulate freely.

The air intake is located under each side of the oven, even with the clearance specified above it is important that airflow is as cool as possible and not pre heated by other appliances such as fryers, grills or griddles.

Allow a minimum of 50mm clearance above the oven for hot air to escape.

Allow sufficient clearance, 400mm in front of the oven for the door to open fully

Do not affix labels/stickers to oven other than those applied by the manufacturer

Do not stack the oven directly on top of another. Use a separate shelf or double tiered stand.

WARNING:

Check that the

AIR FILTERS are in place prior to operation

THE USE OF METALLIC ITEMS IN COMBINATION AND MICROWAVE ONLY FUNCTIONS

Some of the interior panels in Mealstream 501 ovens are vitreous enamel which acts as an insulator and allows safe use of metal in controlled conditions.

(The vitreous enamel tray supplied can be upturned and used as a permanent base.)

Position large metal pans and trays centrally in the oven at least 40mm ( 1.5 inches ) from side walls.

Position individual metal containers evenly at least 1.5 inches (40mm) from each other and the side walls

WARNING:

Care must be taken to position containers correctly.

If metal containers are placed too close to each other or the sides of the oven, arcing may occur which may damage the oven.

WARNING:

If a metallic, crackling sound is heard during combination or microwave only functions, open the door to stop cooking and reposition containers correctly.

If metal items (including silver serving flats) become spot burned due to arcing, discontinue their use in the oven.

Avoid using metal pans greater than 2.5 inches (65mm) in depth as this may reflect microwaves and alter the time required to heat the food thoroughly.

INTRODUCTION

The Mealstream 501 oven offers catering kitchens the flexibility of three heating functions; microwave only, convection only, and combination cooking.

Combination cooking enables high quality results to be achieved in a fraction of the time taken by conventional cooking, particularly when baking, browning, roasting, grilling or producing gratinee dishes.

Once established, precise instructions for combination or convection cooking of selected items may be programmed into the ovens memory so that they can be repeated easily and accurately.

Multi-Stage Programming

The Mealstream EC501 offers even greater flexibility by allowing multi-stage programming. This enables the exact conditions required for quality results to be set according to the food type.

A typical 3-stage program is shown. The Oven is pre-heated at 200°C. Stage 1 begins by applying a gentle microwave power of 25% (ideal for defrosting) while the convection temperature rises to 225°C. In Stage 2 the microwave power increases to maximum (100%) . In the final, browning stage the convection temperature is increased to 250°C with no microwave energy applied.

This is only one example of an infinite number of possible multi-stage programs that can be created and stored. Programs can have one, two, or three stages.

Note:

Remember convection temperature takes time to change. Do not expect an instant response when a different temperature is activated.

Care should be taken when de-frosting in a hot oven. Defrost first thing in the morning when the oven is still cold.

The instructions outlined in this guide are intended to ensure the safety and long life of your Merrychef oven.

MANUAL CONTROLS ( MODEL RD501 )

1Switch on oven.

2Set required oven temperature by turning the temperature control dial clockwise. The convection temperature indicator will illuminate until the set temperature is achieved. For best results, wait for this to happen. The indicator will go on and off as temperaturre within the oven is maintained.

e.g. 175ºC

3 Set required microwave power level by turning the microwave control dial.

e.g. 50%

4 Set required cooking time by turning the time set dial clockwise.

e.g. 15 Minutes

5 Press the START button. The start indicator will illuminate and timer will count down to zero.

A buzzer alerts the operator when cooking is completed.

Note:

•For microwave only cooking, the convection temperature dial should be set to ‘0’. For best results the oven should be cold.

•For convection only cooking, the microwave dial should be set to ‘0’. Convection only cooking can be carried out without setting a time.

•Care should be taken when defrosting in a hot oven. Products should be turned frequently to prevent ‘edgeburning’. For best results, defrost first thing in the morning when the oven is still cold.

•Combination and convection only cooking may be carried out on a rising temperature but extra attention must be given to timings.

•Microwave heating may be introduced part-way through a manually set convection only cycle. However, we strongly recommend that only the most experienced microwave operator uses this facilty as the microwave energy will then be on a time set for convection cooking.

•Cooking may be interupted by opening the door ( PAUSE ). Close the door and touch the start button to continue.

ALIMENTATION ÉLECTRIQUE

ATTENTION : Cet appareil électroménager doit être relié à la masse. Si cela n’est pas le cas, il existe un risque d’électrocution pouvant être mortel.

Le four doit être installé par un électricien qualifié et agréé. Cet appareil ne doit pas être branché sur le secteur au moyen d’une prise standard 13 A.

Le câblage (installation des raccordements fixes ou des prises) doit être conforme aux réglementations et normes de sécurité de l’IEE. Le fil d’alimentation se trouve à l’arrière du four.

ATTENTION : Un interrupteur d’isolement double, avec un intervalle de contact de 3 mm aux deux pôles, doit être installé.

Si vous avez un doute quelconque sur votre alimentation électrique, veuillez demander conseil à un électricien qualifié et agréé.

Il est essentiel que l’alimentation secteur soit installée correctement et mise à la masse. Le circuit électrique qui alimente le secteur doit être adapté aux appareils électriques à forte intensité et ne doit surtout pas être surchargé.

Les établissements équipés de disjoncteurs standards (Type ‘B’) sont sensibles aux surtensions transitoires qui surviennent en mettant en marche les congélateurs, réfrigérateurs et autres appareils de restauration, y compris les fours à micro-ondes. C’est pour cela que nous recommandons vivement d’équiper chaque four d’un disjoncteur Type ‘C’ séparé (conçu spécialement pour ce type d’appareil).

La prise électrique, si elle est installée avec un connecteur à contacts mâles, doit être située à un endroit facile d’accès.

PRÉCAUTIONS D’EMPLOI

1.Lire ce mode d’emploi avant d’utiliser le four.

2.Il est conseillé de faire vérifier ses branchements électriques régulièrement comme pour tout appareil électrique.

3.L’intérieur du four et les joints de la porte doivent être souvent nettoyés en suivant les instructions décrites à la section ENTRETIEN.

4.Il n’est pas nécessaire d’éteindre le four après avoir utilisé une fonction, mais il est important de le faire à la fin de la journée ou après chaque longue période d’utilisation.

5.L’énergie des micro-ondes ne doit pas être utilisée pour sécher du linge ou réchauffer des assiettes.

6.Faire attention à ce qu’aucun aliment n’entre en combustion dans le four, comme pour tout autre appareil de cuisson.

Si de la fumée apparaît :

Eteindre l’appareil

Couper l’alimentation électrique de l’appareil

Laisser la porte fermée pour étouffer d’éventuelles flammes

7.Pour un fonctionnement optimal, placer la nourriture au centre de la cavité du four.

8.Avec la fonction micro-ondes uniquement, couvrir la nourriture pour éviter les éclaboussures sur les parois de la cavité du four.

9.Pour la nourriture se trouvant dans des récipients en matière plastique ou autre matériau combustible, n’utiliser que la fonction micro-ondes et surveiller la cuisson pour empêcher une éventuelle inflammation.

10.En mode convection et mode combiné, les aliments doivent être mis au four sans leur emballage.

11.Ne jamais faire cuire des oeufs à la coque ou durs avec la fonction micro-ondes ou en mode combiné, puisqu’ils pourraient exploser.

12.Les aliments recouverts d’une peau, comme les pommes de terre, les pommes, les saucisses, etc., doivent être percés avant d’être chauffés.

13.Le récipient qui contient les aliments à chauffer ne doit pas être hermétiquement clos puisque l’accumulation de vapeur risquerait de mettre dangereusement le récipient sous pression.

14.L’excès de graisse doit être enlevé au cours du rôtissage et avant de retirer les récipients lourds du four.

15.Si un récipient en verre se casse dans le four, veiller à ce que la nourriture ne contienne aucun éclat de verre. Si un doute subsiste, jeter tout aliment qui se trouvait dans le four au moment où le récipient s’est cassé.
