VARIETY STEAMER (VS-250)

2

P/N 1010998 Rev. C 11/12

General

The Variety Steamer produces steam using plain tap 

water for quick heating and reconstituting of food items.  

Simple push-button action delivers a fully adjustable 

impulse of steam.  Because the amount of steam is 

consistent, it removes the guesswork and produces a 

uniform finished product from one operator to the next.

This manual provides the safety, installation, and oper-

ating procedures for the Variety Steamer. We recom-

mend that all information contained in this manual be 

read prior to installing and operating the unit. 

Your Variety Steamer is manufactured from the finest 

materials available and is assembled to Roundup’s 

strict quality standards.  This unit has been tested at 

the factory to ensure dependable trouble-free 

operation.
