2A. Introduction to e1s
The Merrychef eikon e1s microwave combination oven offers you the flexibility of
combination cooking with additional control over fan speed and microwave
power.
Combination cooking enables high quality results to be achieved in a fraction of
the time taken by conventional cooking, particularly when baking, browning,
roasting and grilling dishes.
Once established, precise instructions for combination or convection cooking of
selected items may be programmed into the oven’s memory so that they can be
repeated easily and accurately. Up to 1024 programmes can be stored and simply
recalled.
The oven controls offer even greater flexibility by allowing multistage
programming. This enables the exact conditions required for quality results to be
set according to the food type. A single cooking programme can have up to six
stages, each stage controlled with its own time, fan speed and microwave power
settings.
Figure 2.1: e1s oven front view
Identifying your microwave combination oven
The following information is included at the rear of the oven on the name plate:
• Brand and name (Merrychef)
• Model range (e1s)
• Model number
• Serial number
• Supply voltage
• Maximum phase current
• Maximum supply power
• Output microwave power
• Output convected power
• Microwave frequency
• Manufacturer
• Manufacturing site
• Brand headquarters

the user interface.
3) USB port –A USB socket located under the cover allows updates to programmes stored on the appliance.
4) Protective cover –The cover can only be removed with specific tools. It prevents live parts from being
touched accidentally and prevents access to the moving fan. Always ensure the cover is securely in place.
5) Operating panel –Prevents live parts from being touched accidentally. Always ensure the panel is in place.
6) Appliance door –This is a precision-made energy barrier with three microwave safety interlocks. Always
keep it clean and do not use it to support heavy objects.
7) Air filter –Situated at the lower front of the appliance, the air filter is part of the ventilation system. Keep it
free of obstruction and clean it daily as described under Section 2G: Cleaning procedures.
8) Door handle –A rigid bar which is pulled downwards and away from the appliance to open it.
9) Door seals –Ensure a tight seal around the door. Always keep them clean and check regularly for signs of
damage.
10) Cavity –Also known as the cooking chamber, the cavity is constructed from stainless steel and used for
cooking products.
11) Nameplate –A plate on the rear of the oven that states the serial number, model type and electrical
specifications.
12) Air outlets - On the rear and are used to cool internal components and allow steam from the cavity to
escape. The air outlets must be kept free from obstruction and they will not allow microwave energy to
escape into the environment.
13) Steam pipe and cover –A covered pipe from the cavity to the back of the oven to vent steam during cooking
and prevent pressure build up.

Installation location requirements
Minimum space required
Figure 2.4 shows the space required to install the appliance. It also shows the minimum horizontal distances from
adjacent walls and surfaces. The safety clearance on the top must also always be complied with.
Figure 2.4: Minimum space requirements
• Safety clearance from the top (A) = 50mm (2”)
• Depth requirement:
 Width of appliance (X) = 406.4mm (16”)
 Total depth with door open (Y) = 806.9mm (31.8”)
 Counter depth (Z) = 499.0mm (19.6”)
• Safety clearance on left-/right-hand side / at rear: 0mm
Actual space requirements
Far more room than the specified minimum space requirement is needed in front of the appliances to operate the
microwave combination ovens safely, in particular to handle hot food safely. Larger wall gaps are generally
recommended to provide access for servicing.
In the installation location, the following parts must not be covered, adjusted or blocked:
• Air vent on the rear of the appliance
• Air filter at the front of the appliance
Mounting the appliance on a work surface
The appliance can be mounted on a suitable work surface that can bear the weight.
Observe the following rules to ensure that the appliance is installed in a stable situation:
• The worktop must have a non-slip surface.
• The supporting surface must have the following properties:
• The supporting surface must be flat and level.
• The supporting surface must be able to bear the in-use weight of the appliance, plus the weight of
the structure supporting the appliance as follows: 50Hz = 46kg /101lbs and 60Hz = 45kg / 99lbs.

Electrical installation requirements
Safety rules
Observe the following rules to prevent hazards caused by faulty electrical connections:
• Only electricians qualified under the terms of EN 50110-1 and from an authorised service company are
permitted to perform work on electrical equipment.
• The electrical supply must be connected in accordance with applicable local regulations of the professional
associations and of the relevant power supply company.
• The case of the appliance must be grounded in a suitable manner and connected to an equipotential
bonding system.
• If two microwave combination ovens are installed in a stacking kit, both cases of the appliances and the
stacking kit itself must be grounded in a suitable manner and connected to an equipotential bonding system.
• Wear the personal protective equipment as specified in the Safety Guide –Section 1F.
Equipment provided by customer and electrical installation regulations
Table 2.1 shows what equipment must be provided by the customer and what regulations must be observed when
connecting the appliance.
Equipment
Regulations
Fuse
Fuse protection and connection of the appliance must comply with local regulations
and national installation requirements.
Equipotential bonding
The appliance must be incorporated in an equipotential bonding system.
Equipotential bonding: electrical connection that ensures that the frames of electrical
equipment and any external conductive components are at an equal (or practically
equal) potential.
Residual-current device
(RCD)
The installation regulations require protection by a residual-current device (RCD).
Suitable residual-current devices meeting the relevant national regulations must be
used.
If the installation includes more than one appliance, one residual-current device must
be provided for each appliance.
Disconnection device
An easily accessible all-pole disconnection device with a minimum contact separation
of 3mm must be installed close to the appliance. The appliance must be connected via
this disconnection device.
The disconnection device is used to disconnect the appliance from the electrical
supply for cleaning, repair and installation work.
Table 2.1: Electrical equipment and regulations
The requirements and specifications for e1s
Fitted frequency converter
• The appliance is fitted with one frequency converter (FC) and an EMC mains input filter.
• These devices may result in a leakage current of more than 3.5mA per FC drive.
• Use a suitable RCD for the rated voltage.

Section 2: Operations and Installation Guide
Properties of the residual-current device
The residual-current device (RCD) must have the following properties:
• Filter for filtering out RF currents.
• ‘Time delayed’ trip characteristic for RCD devices with trip threshold >30mA: prevents RCD being tripped by
charging currents of capacitors and parasitic capacitances when appliance is switched on.
• ‘Leakage current protection, Type SI’ trip characteristic for RCD devices with trip threshold >30mA: insensitive
to nuisance tripping.
Circuit Breakers
• Establishments with standard (Type ‘B’) circuit breakers are sensitive to ‘surges’which occur on switching on
freezers, refrigerators and other catering equipment, including microwave combination ovens. Because of
this, a Type ‘D’circuit breaker (designed specifically for this type of equipment) must be fitted. An individual,
suitably rated circuit breaker should be fitted for each appliance installed.
Low impedance electrical supply
• This commercial combination microwave oven complies with EN 61000-3-11. However, when connecting
sensitive equipment to the same supply as the appliance, the user should determine in consultation with the
supply authority, if necessary, that a low impedance supply is used.
Electrical supply
• The e1s microwave combination oven is only available as a single-phase model and is designed to draw 13
amps maximum in all configurations, as shown in Table 2.2.
