Programming

Before starting initial programming, there are three items that should be verified.

*Check/change the setpoint temperature of the gen- erator (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.

15:00

UP

DOWN PROGRAM START/STOP

To verify the actual generator temperature, press and hold the UP arrow button. The unit will display the actual generator temperature.

400F

UP

DOWN PROGRAM START/STOP

To verify or change the generator setpoint tempera- ture, press and hold the UP and DOWN arrow buttons simultaneously for three seconds. Then, raise or lower the temperature by depressing the UP or DOWN arrow buttons. Release the buttons when the desired tem- perature is reached.

15:00

UP

DOWN PROGRAM START/STOP

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.

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).

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 steam genera- tor surface. 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 (Shot Interval Time) should be increased to allow more time for gen- erator heat recovery, and the SHOT (Steam Shot Time) 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-350 is factory programmed for the following val- ues 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, 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.Turn the unit on while still holding these buttons.

3.Release the buttons as soon as the unit stops beeping.

Programming the Unit

NOTE: CYC, RATE, and SHOT are sequential opera- tions 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.
