GENERAL

The Miracle 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 operating procedures for the Miracle
Steamer. We recommend that all information
contained in this manual be read prior to
installing and operating the unit.

The Miracle 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
INFORMATION

Use the following guidelines for safe opera­tion of the unit.

• Read all instructions before using
equipment.

• For your safety, the equipment is fur­nished with a properly grounded cord
connector. Do not attempt to defeat
the grounded connector.

• Install or locate the equipment only
for its intended use as described in
this manual. Do not use corrosive
chemicals in this equipment.

• Do not operate this equipment if it
has a damaged cord or plug, if it is
not working properly, or if it has been
damaged or dropped.

• This equipment should be serviced by
qualified personnel only. Contact your
nearest Authorized Service Agency for
adjustment or repair.

• Do not block or cover any openings on
the unit.

• Do not immerse cord or plug in water.

• Keep cord away from heated surfaces.

• Do not allow cord to hang over edge

of table or counter.

• Turn the power off, unplug the power
cord, and allow unit to cool down
before performing any service or
maintenance on the unit.

• The procedures in this manual may
include the use of chemical products.
These chemical products will be
highlighted with bold face letters fol­lowed by the abbreviated HCS (Hazard
Communication Standard). See Hazard
Communication Standard manual for
the appropriated Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS).

• The equipment should be grounded
according to local electrical codes to
prevent the possibility of electrical
shock. It requires a grounded recep­tacle with separate electrical lines,
protected by fuses or circuit breaker of
the proper rating.

• All electrical connections must be in
accordance with local electrical codes
and any other applicable codes.

• Do not clean this appliance with a
water jet.

WARNINGS

Be advised of the following warnings when
operating and performing maintenance on
this unit.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or its
service agent or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid a hazard.

• Do not modify the power supply cord
plug. if it does not fit the outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.

• Do not use an extension cord with this
appliance.

• Electrical ground is required on this
appliance.

• Check with a qualified electrician if
you are unsure if the appliance is
properly grounded.

• If a chemical cleaner is used, be sure
it is safe to use on cast aluminum.
Observe all precautions and warnings
on product label.

• Inspection, testing, and repair of elec­trical equipment should only be per­formed by qualified service personnel.

• This equipment is to be installed to
comply with the basic plumbing code
of the Building Officials and Code
Administrators, Inc. (BOCA) and the
Food Service Sanitation Manual of the
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

• To ensure proper steaming character­istics, some calcium/mineral deposits
must be present on the generator
surface. If, during cleaning, the surface
does become free of calcium/mineral
deposits, add plain tap water to the
surface and allow it to boil off. This
may have to be repeated several times
to ensure proper steaming characteris­tics by creating a thin layer of deposits
on the surface.

• Do not use a sanitizing solution or
abrasive materials. The use of these
may cause damage to the stainless
steel finish.

• Chlorides or phosphates in clean­ing agents (e.g. bleach, sanitizers,
degreasers or detergents) could cause
permanent damage to stainless steel
equipment. The damage is usually in
the form of discoloration, dulling of
metal surface finish, pits, voids, holes,
or cracks. This damage is permanent
and not covered by warranty.

• The following tips are recommended
for maintenance of your stainless steel
equipment:

• Always use soft, damp cloth for

cleaning, rinse with clear water
and wipe dry. When required,
always rub in direction of metal
polish lines.

• Routine cleaning should be done

daily with soap, ammonia deter­gent, and water.

• Stains and spots should be

sponged using a vinegar solution.

• Finger marks and smears should be

rubbed off using soap and water.

• Hard water spots should be

removed using a vinegar solution.

PLUMBING

NOTE: Miracle Steamer models are
designed to use cold tap water. Distilled
water may be used to reduce calcium/
mineral deposit buildup and reduce main­tenance costs.

MS-150 MODELS

The MS-150 models have a self-contained
water tank. To fill the self-contained water
tank:

1. Open the Tank Cover on top of the
unit (Figure 3).

NOTE: Make sure filter inside tank is
installed properly.

2. Pour in cold tap water. The tank will
hold approximately 3 quarts (2.81
liters).

3. Close the Tank Cover.

NOTE: Do NOT overfill the unit’s water
tank. Only fill the tank to 90% full.

MS-250 MODELS

The MS-250 models require a direct cold
water hookup. A Water Inlet Hose and Strainer
Assembly (Figure 4) is supplied.

NOTE: Incoming water is controlled by a
normally closed (NC) solenoid valve locat­ed inside the Steamer’s electrical housing.

1. Turn off the water valve (not supplied)

that provides water to the unit (Figure

4).

2. Connect the 1/4” (6.5 mm) I.D.

Flexible Tubing to the outlet side of
the Water Pressure Regulator and
secure using the Worm Clamp (Figure 4).

Figure 4. Connecting Water Supply (MS-250 Only)

NOTE: A Water Pressure Regulator must
first be installed (Figure 4). Failure to do
so will result in poor steaming and pos­sible flooding. For a single steamer, use
Water Pressure Regulator P/N 7000314.
For two adjacent steamers, use Water
Pressure Regulator P/N 7000235.

3. Turn the water valve on.

4. Hold the Quick Disconnect Insert over
a bucket, then press and hold the
white plastic tip until there’s a good,
steady water flow. This will purge all
air out of the line.

5. Release the plastic tip and check
the pressure on the Water Pressure
Regulator. It should read 20 psi.

a.) If it reads less, increase the water
pressure by pulling the black knob up
and turning it clockwise.

b.) If it reads more, decrease the water
pressure by pulling the black knob up
and turning it counter clockwise.

NOTE: When adjusting the knob, you must
relieve the existing pressure by press­ing the white plastic tip on the Quick
Disconnect Insert for 3 seconds. The Water
Pressure Regulator will then show the
new pressure.

6. Once the regulator reads 20 psi, push
the black knob down to lock it in
place.

7. Push the Quick Disconnect Insert into
the fitting at the rear of the unit until
it clicks (Figure 4).

CAUTION

Water pressure must not exceed 30 psi (2.1
kg/cm2 or 207 kPa). Higher water pressures
may cause poor performance or flooding.
To reduce water pressure, install a water
pressure regulator, and set water pressure to
20–25 psi (1.4–1.7 kg/cm2 or 138–172 kPa).
