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 402s range of 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Instructions for Mealstream 402s Ovens Power Supply Requirements The Mealstream 402s 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.
MAIN FEATURES a On/Off SWITCH h DOOR This is used to turn the oven On or Off. The door consists of a thermally insulated inner section, and an additional air gap provided by a IT DOES NOT ISOLATE INTERNAL WIRING twin skinned door front to lower the surface FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY.

PROCEDURE FOR POWER OUTPUT MEASUREMENT The power output specification 1500W on this model is established under IEC 705 standard method. This method is only workable in Laboratory controlled conditions. An approximate method is as follows: Ensure the oven is cold before commencing the test Before this test is carried out the oven PREHEAT temperature must be set to 0ºC as this enables the oven to be used in Microwave ONLY mode.
PROCEDURES FOR PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS TEST (1) 1. Power Transformer Test You will need: A Digital Multi-meter (D.M.M.) A Megger or similar resistance meter using 500V d.c. WARNING: High voltages and large currents are present at the High Voltage Capacitor. It is very dangerous to work near this part when the oven is on.
PROCEDURES FOR PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS TEST (2) ( High Voltage Capacitor Test continued, ensure steps 1-4 on previous page have been completed) Between Terminals Pass if approximately 10 M Between Terminals and Case Pass if open circuit 5. Using a Megger, test the insulation resistance between the terminals and the case.
PROCEDURE FOR DOOR INTERLOCK ADJUSTMENT AND TEST 1 The door on the 402s oven is monitored by four microswitches. Three are used in the conventional “Primary, Secondary and Monitor” switch arrangement shown below and the fourth sends a signal to the Logic PCB. The switches operate as follows: Door Interlock Arrangement: Switches shown in Door Closed position Primary Secondary...
PROCEDURE FOR DOOR INTERLOCK ADJUSTMENT AND TEST 2 It is vital that the microswitches are adjusted to the correct position. There are two sets switch assemblies located either side of the oven. The interlocks ensure that the oven will not operate microwave with the door open. WARNING Before adjusting the microswitch assemblies ensure that the oven...
PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS: Hot Air Motor & Controller 1 Convection and Fan Speed Control The convection heat is provided by 5 elements located in the hot box at the rear of the oven cavity. The hot air from the hot box passes over catalytic converters and is circulated into the bottom and top of the cavity through the impinger plates.
Page 25
PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS: Hot Air Motor & Controller 2 Motor Controller Provides an AC, 3-phase switched mode drive to the convection motor and is controlled by a 0 - 10 Volt signal from the logic board. This allows the motor to be adjusted from approximately 1500 rpm to 7000 rpm in steps of 5%.
