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.
