Variety STeamer Operation Operator Controls TimeD CYcle Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) The desired timed steaming cycle (up to 99 minutes and 59 seconds) is selected by pressing and releasing any of the four menu buttons (Figure 3). The main Control Board applies power to the solenoid at regular intervals for the duration of the displayed cycle time. The display counts down to zero when the cycle is complete, then reverts back to the original programmed cycle time and the unit is ready for the next cycle.
Variety Steamer UP & down arrow buttons ent settings until correct cycle for that product is found. The actual generator temperature can be viewed by depressing the UP arrow button (Figure 3) at any time. The arrow buttons are used with the other buttons to program the unit (see the Programming section of this manual for more information). 4. When the cycle is complete, remove and empty the basket(s).
Variety STeamer Programming SHOT (Steam Shot Time) is used to adjust the water volume used during each solenoid operation (shot of steam) (Figure 6). 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.
