Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Corner Slice," a bustling pizzeria in Leeds, needed to speed up its lunchtime service for individual slices and  side orders, which were causing bottlenecks in their main pizza ovens.

"We were losing customers during the lunch rush because they couldn't wait. The Merrychef E3 lets us reheat slices and  cook sides like garlic bread in under a minute. It's completely streamlined our front-of-house operation, and  the quality is spot on every time."

David Chen – Owner, The Corner Slice

Since installing the oven, they have reduced average wait times for smaller orders by over 60% and  increased lunchtime takeaway sales by 35%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Ensure you have at least 50mm of clearance around the sides and  top for proper air circulation.
  • Place it on a flat, stable, and  non-combustible countertop that can support its weight (63kg).
  • Simply plug the unit into a suitable 230V single phase socket – no hardwiring required.
  • Run a quick test cycle to ensure everything is working correctly before its first proper use.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down the interior and  exterior with a damp cloth and  approved cleaner after each day of service.
  • Remove and  clean the air filter at the front of the unit on a weekly basis to maintain performance.
  • Use the recommended Merrychef oven cleaner and  protector sprays to prevent grease build-up.
  • Never use abrasive scourers or harsh chemicals, which can damage the stainless steel and  oven cavity.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right High Speed Oven

Not sure if this is the one for you? Here are a few things to consider when choosing a commercial compact high speed oven.

1. Analyse Your Menu

What are you cooking most? An oven like the E3 is brilliant for baked goods, toasted items, and  reheating. Make sure its capabilities match your core offerings.

2. Measure Your Space

Counter space is prime real estate. Check the oven's footprint (W x D) to ensure it fits comfortably in your workflow without causing congestion.

3. Check Your Power Supply

The Merrychef E3 uses a standard single phase supply, which is great. Always check that your chosen spot has the right socket nearby to avoid extra electrical work.

4. Consider Your Team

Look for intuitive controls, like the icon-driven screen on the E3. The easier an oven is to use, the less training your staff will need and  the fewer errors you'll have.

5. Factor in Cleaning Time

A simple, easy-to-clean design with rounded internal corners and  removable parts will save your team a massive amount of time and  effort at the end of a long shift.

How Ventless Cooking Unlocks Your Kitchen's Potential

Ever wondered how a powerful oven like this can run without a giant, noisy extraction hood? The secret is its built-in catalytic converter. Think of it like the one in your car's exhaust, but for cooking. As air circulates inside the oven, it passes through this converter, which neutralises grease, smoke, and  odours before the air is released. This means you can place the Merrychef E3 countertop oven almost anywhere—front of house, in a kiosk, or in a kitchen with no room for ducting—without filling the room with cooking smells. It's a clever bit of tech that saves you thousands on expensive ventilation and  gives you complete freedom over your kitchen layout.
