The Merco Holding Cabinet has been designed to afford
foodservice operators the ability to cook menu components in
advance and then gently store that product in the holding bins
until an order is received. Once that order has been placed,
the crew can assemble the order using hot and fresh menu
components from the holding bins. This allows for operators
to serve to order, helping increase speed of service while
maintaining high product quality standards.
The holding bin controller is, at all times, operating in one of
three modes:
•
Normal mode
•
Programming mode
•
Diagnostic mode
Instructions for each of these operating modes are detailed
below.
If the supply cord appears to be damaged, do not
attempt to operate unit. Contact service agent or
qualified technician to repair.
When holding potentially hazardous foods, the
minimum shelf temperature must be 220°F for the
upper-bin heating element and 200°F for the lower-bin
heating element.
Normal Mode
This is the normal mode of operation. The product for each bin
is displayed, timers are activated for loaded bins, alarms are
generated for cook more and expired product.
