electrician to determine and install the proper voltage
and size electrical receptacle.
• Turn power switch OFF, unplug power cord, and allow
unit to cool before performing any maintenance or
cleaning.
• DO NOT submerge or saturate with water. Unit is not
waterproof. Do not operate if unit has been submerged
or saturated with water.
• Unit is not weatherproof. Locate unit indoors where
ambient air temperature is a minimum of 70°F (21°C).
• Do not steam clean or use excessive water on unit.
• Do not pull unit by power cord.

Service by unqualified personnel may lead to electric
shock or burn.
• Use only Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
Replacement Parts when service is required. Failure to
use OEM Replacement Parts will void all warranties and
may subject operators of the equipment to hazardous
electrical voltage, resulting in electrical shock or burn.
OEM Replacement Parts are specified to operate safely
in the environments in which they are used. Some
aftermarket or generic replacement parts do not have
the characteristics that will allow them to operate safely
in Merco equipment.
FIRE HAZARD: Locate unit a minimum of 1″ (25 mm) from
combustible walls and materials. If safe distances are not
maintained, discoloration or combustion could occur.
Make sure food product has been heated to the proper food-
safe temperature before placing on the unit. Failure to heat
food product properly may result in serious health risks. This
unit is for holding preheated food product only.
This unit is not intended for use by children or persons
with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities.
Ensure proper supervision of children and keep them away
from the unit.

WARNING
BURN HAZARD: Some exterior surfaces on unit will get
hot. Use caution when touching these areas.
Locate unit at proper counter height in an area that is
convenient for use. The location should be level to prevent
unit or its contents from falling accidentally and strong
enough to support the weight of unit and contents.
Do not operate built-in models without control box
mounted properly as described in the installation
instructions.
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) requires that
units over 36″ (914 mm) in width or weighing more than 80
lbs. (36 kg) either be sealed to or raised above the
installation surface. If unit cannot be sealed at the point of
use, 4″ (102 mm) legs are included to allow for proper
cleaning access below unit.
Unit is recommended for use in metallic countertops.
Damage to non-metallic countertop material caused by
heat generated from this equipment is not covered under
unit warranty. For other surfaces, verify that the material is
suitable for temperatures up to 200°F (93°C).
Built-in units must not have a setpoint temperature higher
than 200°F (93°C). Temperatures exceeding 200°F (93°C)
will damage unit and void warranty.
Do not modify wiring or cut thermostat capillary wire on
control box to increase remote mounting distance. Cutting
thermostat capillary wire will cause unit to overheat and
may damage unit as well as surrounding countertop.
Do not use excessive force when tightening mounting
screws on built-in units. This may damage unit and/or
countertop.
Do not lay unit on the side with the control panel. Damage
to unit could occur.
Use non-abrasive cleaners only. Abrasive cleaners could
scratch the finish of the unit, marring its appearance and
making it susceptible to soil accumulation.
