General
The Variety Steamer produces steam using plain
tap water for quick heating and reconstituting of food
items. Simple push button action delivers an impulse
of steam. Because the amount of steam is consistent,
it removes the guesswork and produces a uniform fin-
ished 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 opera-
tion.

OPERATION
Operator Controls
ROCKER SWITCH (POWER ON/OFF)
When the Rocker Switch is in the ON position, the
control board is activated and the green light on the
front panel lights up. A thermostat senses generator
temperature. If the generator temperature is below
350° F (176° C), power is applied to the generator until
setpoint is reached. The generator is constantly moni-
tored and power is regulated to maintain temperature
setpoint of 380° F (193° C).
YELLOW AND GREEN LIGHTS
The green light comes on when the Rocker Switch
(Power On/Off) is turned on. The green light is not lit
during the steaming cycle.
The yellow light comes on during the steaming cycle.
When the steaming cycle is complete, the yellow light
turns off, and an audio alarm sounds for 3 seconds.
CONTROL KNOB
The control knob setting determines the length of the
steaming cycle. Each number on the panel behind the
knob represents a ten second interval (1=10 sec; 2=20
sec; 3=30 sec; etc.) up to 130 seconds.
Example: During the steaming cycle, with the control
knob set to 3, the solenoid valve opens once every 10
seconds, applying 3 total shots of water that is con-
verted immediately into steam for the product.
NOTE: Each shot of steam is approximately 3/4 oz.
(25 milliliters) of water.
OPERATE SWITCH
When the operate button is pressed and released, Line
Voltage is supplied to the solenoid valve, the solenoid
valve opens, and water sprays onto the heated steam
generator. The water flashes immediately into live
steam and is forced up through the Black Manifold
Plate orifices.
LOCK LEVER
When in the full forward (towards operator) position,
the lock lever secures the Black Manifold Plate onto
the Steam Generator. Moving the lock lever to the full
rearward position unlocks the Black Manifold Plate,
allowing it to be removed for cleaning or servicing.

Maintenance” in the Maintenance section of this
manual..
Steaming Tips
• Pre-cooked pasta is easily reconstituted, and gives
you a hot product without the wetness of the normal
“dip” method.
• Experiment with your products and different steam-
ing times–a little more or less steam could change
the appearance/flavor.
• If you serve melted cheese on sandwiches, steam
is the perfect way to melt cheese.
• A steamed bun (which takes about 10-15 seconds)
says “Hot Sandwich” to your customer.
• Vegetables, rice and bread products can be recon-
stituted by steaming before serving which reduces
waste.
• Dinner rolls, muffins, even tortillas can be heated
completely and held without drying out the product.
• Use a low plate or pan when steaming to allow full
steam penetration and shorter cooking times.
• Condensation inside the steamer is normal, but
excess moisture indicates too much water is being
used.
• Heat meat and bread products apart from each
other, then combine in a sandwich. This will keep
the meat juices from soaking the bread.
• Finish off a special meal with a steamed hand
towel–hot without excess moisture.

DAILY CLEANING
1. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) to OFF.
Unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool
down before proceeding.
2. Check the rear water quick disconnect fitting and
all hose clamp connections for leakage. If leak-
age is apparent, tighten all clamps or replace
part(s) if necessary.
3. Remove the basket(s), top cover housing assem-
bly, and the drip tray, wash them in hot soapy
water, rinse and allow to air dry.
4. Remove the Black Manifold Plate by slightly lifting
and sliding the Locking Lever (on the right side
of the unit) towards the rear, carefully remove
the plate and remove the large black O-ring from
the plate. Remove the diffuser plate, remove
the spray tube by carefully lifting the loose end
and gently twisting and pulling it out of the steam
generator hole. Take a suitable 1/16” punching
tool (such as a large paperclip) and fully insert
it through all 12 orifices in the black mani-
fold as well as through the six orifices in the
spray tube. This will assure that the orifices are
not obstructed with debris. Wash all items in hot
soapy water, rinse, and allow them to air dry.
5. Reinstall the spray tube into the steam generator
hole and reinstall the diffuser plate.
6. Lightly apply some Petro Gel (supplied) onto the
large black O-ring and reinstall the O-ring onto
the manifold plate (this will allow the manifold
plate to seat easily onto the steam generator).
Hold the manifold plate up to a light and verify
that light is visible through all of the orifices. If so,
seat the manifold fully onto the generator and pull
the locking lever forward to lock the plate.
7. Check that the Water Pressure Regulator is cor-
rectly set at 20-25 PSI (1.4 to 1.7 kg/cm2 or 138-
172 kPa.)
8. Reinstall all parts and accessories. Plug power
cord into electrical outlet.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Turn the unit off, disconnect the power source
and allow the unit to cool down before performing
any service or maintenance on the unit.

form of discoloration, dulling of metal surface fin-
ish, pits, voids, holes, or cracks. This damage is
permanent and is not covered by warranty. The
following tips are recommended for maintenance
of your stainless steel equipment:
• Always use a soft, damp cloth for cleaning,
rinse with clear water, and wipe dry. When
required, always rub in the direction of the
metal polish lines.
• Routine cleaning should be done daily using
soap, ammonia detergent, and water.
• Stains and sopts should be sponged using a
vinegar solution.
• Finger marks and smears should be removed
using soap and water.
• Hard water spots should be sponged using a
vinegar solution.

VARIETY STEAMER
P/N 1010649 Rev. E 03/07
MONTHLY CLEANING
Your steamer utilizes an open steam generator. Water
sprayed onto the generator surface flashes into steam
immediately, but the minerals in the water do not
steam; they stay on the generator surface. A small
amount of calcium/mineral deposits are needed for
proper operation, but a build-up of excessive calcium/
mineral deposits causes poor steaming efficiency,
excessive moisture (wet steam), and will eventually
retard the steaming action completely.
1. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On\Off) to OFF.
Unplug the power cord and allow the unit to cool
down before proceeding.
2. Perform the steps under Daily Cleaning, but DO
NOT reassemble the unit.
3. With the unit cool, use a NON-ABRASIVE brass
wire brush and/or scraper to loosen and remove
the excessive calcium/mineral deposits from the
generator surface (Figure 5). Wipe the generator
with a clean, damp cloth and reassemble the unit.
NOTE: If the deposits are still excessive and/or dif-
ficult to remove, see Steps 4 through 10.
4. Pour delimer solution (not supplied) onto the
generator surface. Be sure to follow the delimer
manufacturer’s instructions for proper mixture and
use.
MAINTENANCE (continued)
CAUTION
If a chemical cleaner/delimer is used, be sure it is
safe to use on cast aluminum. Observe all pre-
cautions and warnings on the product label.
5. Using a sponge or dry towel, remove the delimer
solution from the generator surface, then rinse
with clear water.
NOTE: To ensure proper steaming characteristics,
some calcium/mineral deposits must be present
on the generator surface. If during cleaning, the
surface becomes free of calcium/mineral deposits,
add plain tap water to the surface and allow it to
boil off. If necessary, repeat this several times in
order to formulate a thin coating of calcium/mineral
deposits.
NOTE: In soft water areas, it may be necessary to
add a small amount of lime to the generator surface
to “season” it. This will ensure proper steaming
characteristics by formulating a thin coating of
calcium/mineral deposits on the generator surface.
Seasoning mixture consists of 3/4 ounce (25ml/
25cc) of baking soda, 3/4 ounce (25 ml/25cc) of
lime, and 1 quart (950ml/950cc) of water. Stir mix-
ture and pour 1/4” deep onto hot generator surface.
After mixture is converted to seam, the remaining
loose powder can be removed.
6. Plug the power cord into the appropriate outlet.
7. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) to ON and
allow the unit to warm up for 30 minutes.
8. Set the Control Knob to “3” and push the Operate
Button to run a 30 second cycle of steam. This
will purge any remaining delimer residue from
the generator surface.
9. Turn the Rocker Switch (Power On/Off) to OFF.
10. Reinstall all parts and accessories.

MAINTENANCE (continued)
CHECKING AND CLEANING THE WATER STRAINER
The Water Strainer protects your equipment from any
foreign debris in the water line that could get into the
food, damage the unit’s solenoid (causing the unit to
leak or flood) and protect from interference with the
equipment’s proper and consistent operation
To ensure proper and consistent steaming results,
visually check the water pressure regulator gauge and
strainer cup regularly. If the pressure on the gauge has
dropped, visually check the clear, plastic strainer “cup”
and clean out the accumulated debris as follows.
1. Shut off the water supply valve to the unit,
unscrew the clear, plastic strainer “cup” and care-
fully remove the mesh strainer screen.
2. At the sink, gently flush all of the accumulated
debris from the strainer cup and mesh strainer.
Be especially careful not to damage the mesh
strainer screen.
3 Carefully place the mesh strainer screen into its
seat at the bottom of the clear, plastic cup and
confirm that the orange O-ring is properly seated
in its place before screwing the strainer cup and
top back together.
4. Purge the air out of the strainer and tubing by
disconnecting the male quick disconnect insert
from the equipment and, over a bucket, push the
“white” plastic tip in until there is good water flow.
5. Replace damaged or warn parts as needed.
6. Verify that the Water Pressure Regulator is set to
20-25 PSI (1.4-1.7 kg/cm2 or 138-175 kPa).
