Do Merrychef ovens need an extraction hood?

No. All conneX® models are ventless thanks to an integrated catalytic converter that breaks down grease and odours. This makes them ideal for front-of-house counters and sites without ducted extraction. Tip: Keep the air filter clean and follow weekly wipe-downs to maintain airflow and speed.

What’s the difference between conneX® 12, 12e and 16?

conneX® 12e: lower power, 13A plug-in, perfect for light-duty cafés and kiosks. conneX® 12: the mid-range workhorse for all-day service — paninis, pastries, pizzas, bowls and plated meals. conneX® 16: larger 16″ cavity & higher power for multi-portion cooking, pizzas and trays. If you’re unsure, tell us your menu and throughput and we’ll recommend the best fit.

Can I finance a Merrychef in the UK?

Yes — we offer flexible monthly finance on every model. Most cafés opt to spread the cost so the oven pays for itself via faster service and additional covers. Ask for current rates and documentation requirements.

Do you install and train our team?

We supply, install and provide recipe-upload and staff training. You’ll get easyTouch® profiles set up for common menu items (pizza, toasties, pastries, breakfast baps) so staff can tap-and-go from day one.

Where do you ship from and how fast?

Stock is held in Doncaster. We offer next-day UK delivery on most orders, plus timed slots for sites that need to coordinate fit-outs.

Do you repair and service Merrychef ovens?

Yes. We provide Merrychef oven repair, parts and preventive maintenance. If you already own a unit, we can service it and advise on firmware/recipe updates to restore peak performance.
