VARIETY STEAMER (VS-250)

P/N 1010998 Rev. C 11/12

General Programming

CYC (Total Cycle Time)

 refers to the total amount of 

cooking time set for the product (Figure 4).

RATE (Shot Interval Time)

 is the time set between 

each shot of steam during a complete cycle (Figure 5).

PROGRAMMING

400F

To verify or change the Generator setpoint tempera-

ture, press and hold the 

UP

 and 

DOWN ARROW 

but-

tons simultaneously for three seconds.  Then, raise or 

lower the temperature by depressing the 

UP 

or 

DOWN 

ARROW 

buttons.  Release the buttons when the 

desired temperature is reached.

15:00

To Change the display from Fahrenheit (F) to 

Celsius (C), press and hold the 

UP ARROW 

and the 

PROGRAM

 buttons simultaneously for three seconds.  

Repeat the process to reverse.

15:00

To verify the actual Generator temperature, press and 

hold the 

UP ARROW

 button.  The unit will display the 

actual Generator temperature.

Before starting initial programming, there are three 

items that should be verified.

*  Check/change the setpoint temperature of the  

generator (it is recommended that the generator be 

set at 375°F (191°C).

*  Change the display from Fahrenheit (F) to Celsius 

(C) or vice versa.

*  Verify the generator temperature after a 30 minute 

pre-heat time.

Listed below are the steps to follow for the recommen-

dations listed above.

SHOT (Steam Shot Time)

 is used to adjust the water 

volume used during each solenoid operation (shot of 

steam) (Figure 6).

The amount of steam produced by your unit depends 

on the amount of water sprayed onto the Generator sur-

face.  Flooding of the Generator may occur if the SHOT 

setting is too high or if the RATE setting is too low.

To prevent this from occurring, the RATE should be 

increased to allow more time for Generator heat recov-

ery, and the SHOT can be decreased to reduce the 

water volume.

Adjustments should be made to both values to deter-

mine the optimum settings for your cooking needs.

Factory Settings

The VS-250 is factory programmed for the following  

values for each of the 4 menu channels:

CYC

 =   [00:10] 10 seconds

 

 

 (Range: 1 second to 99 minutes 59 seconds)

RATE

 = [00:05] 5 seconds (

recommended

 

 (Range: 1 second to 5 minutes 59 seconds)

SHOT

 = [00:70] 0.70 seconds (

recommended

 

 (Range: 0.10 second to 2.50 seconds)

These settings deliver approximately 3/4 oz. (25 millili-

ters) of water every 5 seconds for a 10-second cooking 

time.  Changes may be made to any of these settings.  

However, for optimum performance, the settings should 

remain as shown above.

To restore the factory settings:

  1.  Turn the unit off.  Press and hold the 

PROGRAM

  

and 

SINGLE SHOT 

buttons.

  2.  Continue to hold these buttons while turning the 

unit on.

  3.  Release the buttons once the unit stops beeping.

Programming the Unit

NOTE:  CYC, RATE, and SHOT are sequential  

operations per channel for all programming (you 

must perform all steps for CYC and RATE to change 

SHOT).

NOTE:  CYC, RATE, and SHOT are only displayed 

momentarily during the programming sequence 

when the PROGRAM button is pressed.
