OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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 (Menu or Product) Mode
• Diagnostic Mode
Instructions for each of these operating modes are detailed below.
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.
A menu defines which products are in each bin. There are two menus, the “AM” and “PM” menus.
Press and hold the “AM/PM” button to change menus. The “AM” light is on when the “AM” menu is
active and the “PM” light is on when “PM” menu is active. If the menu is changed while product is
located in its corresponding bin, the bin setting will not change until product has been removed and
the bin is empty.
