Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

"The Steam Engine Café" in Cardiff was struggling to keep up with lunchtime demand. Their single panini press was creating a bottleneck, with customers often waiting over ten minutes for a toasted sandwich.

"We needed to get food out much, much quicker without compromising on that golden, crispy finish. The Merrychef Eikon E1s slotted right in, and  the impact was immediate. Staff picked it up in minutes, and  our customers are happier than ever."

Robert Davies – Owner

After installation, the café successfully reduced its average hot food wait time by 70% and  saw a 30% increase in lunchtime sales within the first month.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Find a solid, level counter with easy access to a standard 13-amp wall socket.
  • Make sure you leave at least 5cm of clear space around the sides and  back for proper air circulation.
  • Before cooking any food, run the initial 'burn-off' cycle as outlined in the user manual to prepare the oven cavity.
  • Take a few minutes to program your most popular menu items into the easyTouch® screen for one-tap cooking.

Keeping It Going

  • At the end of each day, use the recommended oven cleaner and  protector spray to keep the inside sparkling.
  • Regularly wipe down the exterior and  the door seal to prevent any grease build-up.
  • The air filter should be removed and  cleaned at least once a week – it only takes a minute but is vital for performance.
  • Consider a professional service once a year to ensure your oven stays in perfect working order for years to come.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right High Speed Oven

Not sure which rapid cook oven is right for your kitchen? Here are a few things to consider before you decide.

Power & Plug Type

Does your site have the right socket? The E1S uses a standard 13-amp plug, making it incredibly versatile, but larger models may need specialist installation.

Available Footprint

Measure your counter space carefully! A compact oven like the Eikon E1s is designed specifically for locations where every inch matters.

Menu Complexity

Think about your menu. An oven with programmable pre-sets is essential for ensuring consistency across a varied menu and  with multiple staff members.

Ventilation Needs

Do you have an existing extraction hood? If not, a ventless model is a must-have, saving you a huge amount on installation costs and  hassle.

Ease of Use

In a fast-paced environment with staff turnover, an intuitive touchscreen interface significantly cuts down on training time and  reduces user error.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'impingement' cooking actually mean?

A: It's a process where jets of super-heated air are directed at the food's surface. This blasts away the cold 'halo' around the food, resulting in incredibly fast browning and  crisping.

Q: Can I cook food from frozen in the Merrychef Eikon E1s?

A: Yes, absolutely. The combination of microwave power to cook from the inside and  convection/impingement to brown the outside makes it perfect for cooking many items directly from frozen.

Q: Is the touchscreen difficult for new staff to learn?

A: Not at all. It's designed with an icon-driven menu, much like a smartphone. Once your recipes are programmed, it’s literally a one-touch operation.

Q: Do I really not need an extraction canopy?

A: That's right. The built-in catalytic converter filters grease and  odours, meaning it's certified for ventless operation, saving you significant costs.

Q: How much space should I leave around the oven?

A: For optimal performance and  safety, it's recommended to leave at least 5cm (2 inches) of clear space on the sides and  at the back for air to circulate.

Q: Can I use metal pans in this oven?

A: Yes, unlike a domestic microwave, this commercial oven is designed to be used with specific metal cookware. Always refer to the manual for the types of accessories approved for use.

Q: Is it noisy to operate in a front-of-house setting?

A: The Merrychef E1s operates at a very low noise level, making it perfectly suitable for open kitchens or placing directly on a customer-facing counter.

Q: How do I get my recipes onto the oven?

A: You can easily transfer your cooking profiles between units or update your menu via a standard USB stick, which is ideal for multi-site operators wanting consistency.

How Ventless Cooking Saves You Space and  Money

Ever wondered how a powerful oven can run without a great big extraction hood? The secret is a clever bit of tech inside called a 'catalytic converter'. If that sounds familiar, it's because it's similar to the technology used in cars to clean up exhaust fumes. In the Merrychef Eikon E1s high speed oven, the converter scrubs the hot air of grease, smoke, and  odours *before* it leaves the oven.

Think of it as a tiny, super-efficient filtration system that's built right in. This means you don't need to spend thousands on a noisy, bulky, and  difficult-to-install extraction system. It gives you the freedom to place your commercial high speed oven virtually anywhere – on a front counter, in a tight corner, or in a listed building where fitting a flue is impossible. It’s a huge cost-saver and  opens up possibilities for serving hot food in places you never thought you could.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Busy Coffee Shops: For rapidly heating paninis, pastries, and  breakfast baps during the morning rush.
  • Pubs & Bars: Ideal for adding hot snacks like pizzas, pies, and  nachos to your menu with minimal fuss.
  • Convenience Stores: Perfect for launching a hot food-to-go offering without the need for a full kitchen setup.
  • Mobile Caterers: Its ventless design and  standard plug make it the ultimate tool for event catering.
