OWNER INFORMATION

General

The STS-200 Steamer/Scale produces steam using plain tap water for quick steaming of sliced meats. Simple push button action delivers a consistent 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 Steamer/Scale. We recom­mend that all information contained in this manual be read prior to installing and operating the unit.
Your Steamer/Scale 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.

Warranty Information

Please read the full text of the Limited Warranty in this manual.
IMPORTANT! Keep these instructions for future reference. If the unit changes owner-
ship, be sure this manual accompanies the equipment.
If the unit arrives damaged, contact the carrier imme­diately and file a damage claim with them. Save all packing materials when filing a claim. Freight damage claims are the responsibility of the purchaser and are not covered under warranty. The warranty does not extend to:
• Damages caused in shipment or damage as result of improper use.
• Installation of electrical service.
• Normal maintenance as outlined in this manual.
• Malfunction resulting from improper maintenance.
• Damage caused by abuse or careless handling.
• Moisture damage to electrical components.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (continued)
In addition to the warnings and cautions in this manual, 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 the nearest Roundup authorized service facility 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.
The following warnings and cautions appear throughout this manual and should be carefully observed.
• Turn the unit off, disconnect the power source and allow unit to cool down before performing any service or maintenance on the unit.
• 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.
• WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
- Electrical ground is required on this appli­ance.
- 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.
- Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.
• 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).
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent, or a similarly qualified person.
• Do not clean this appliance with a water jet.
• Do not use a sanitizing solution or abrasive materials. The use of these may cause dam­age to the stainless steel finish.
• To ensure proper steaming characteristics, some mineral deposits must be present on generator surface. If, during cleaning, the surface does become free of mineral depos­its, one approved method is to add plain tap water to the generator surface and allow it to boil off. This will ensure proper steaming characteristics by creating a thin layer of min­eral deposits on the casting.
• Chlorides or phosphates in cleansing 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.
NOTE: This may require repeating several times.

When mounting the Dual Water Pressure Regulator onto a fixed horizontal or vertical surface, you must use the mounting screws provided with the kit. These screws are self-tapping and require a 0.125” inch hole for mounting.
A free-standing mounting does not require use of the mounting screws.
WARNING
DO NOT mount the Dual Water Pressure Regulator over an electrical outlet or any other appliance or area that may be damaged by water or that may cause personal injury.

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 and damage the unit’s solenoid (causing the unit to leak or flood), It protects from interference with the equipment’s proper and consistent operation
To ensure proper and consistent steaming results, check the water pressure regulator gauge and strainer cup regularly. If the pressure on the gauge has dropped, check the clear, plastic strainer “cup” and clean out the accumulated debris as follows.
1. Press the Release Tab and remove the Quick Disconnect Fitting #2 (Figure 4c). Unscrew the clear, plastic strainer “cup” and carefully remove the mesh strainer screen (Figure 4c).
NOTE: Some water may drip out from the Quick Disconnect fitting and Strainer Cup.
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. Reinstall the Quick Disconnect until a “click” is heard.
5. Cycle the steamer several times. This ensures the air is purged from the Water Line.
6. Replace damaged or worn parts as needed.
7. Verify that the Water Pressure Regulator Gauge is set to 7 - 9 PSI (.4 - .6 kg/cm2 or 48 - 62 kPa).

Adjusting the Water Pressure Regulator

The Dual Water Pressure Regulator uses a fixed regulator and an adjustable regulator (Figure 4c). The adjustable regulator must be set between 7 - 9 PSI (0.4
- 0.6 kg/cm2 or 48 - 62 kPa). Follow these steps to adjust this regulator:
1. Make sure that the inlet water valve is on.
2. Over a bucket, press and hold the white plastic tip on the Quick Disconnect #1 (Figure 4c) until good, steady water flow is noted (this will purge all air out of the line). Release and note the pressure on the Water Pressure Regulator gauge. It should read 7-9 PSI. If it reads more or less, adjust the pressure by pulling the black knob upwards and turning it clockwise to increase or counter-clock­wise to decrease the water pressure. Push the knob down to lock it in place.
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. This allows the newly set pressure to register on the gauge. Repeat this until the gauge reads 7-9 PSI.
3. Re-install the Quick Disconnect until it “clicks” into place and test the unit. Re-adjust the regulator as needed.

Installation

The optional Water Installation Kit is used in conjunc­tion with the Dual Water Pressure Regulator for the STS-200.
It allows you to easily connect your existing water sup­ply to the STS-200 Steamer/Scale. It is equipped with quick disconnect attachments for easy installation and also has a water shut-off valve for maintenance (Figure 5).
To install, follow these steps:
1. Make sure that the Water Shut-off Valve is closed.
2. Attach the T-Fitting to your existing water supply.
NOTE: The T-Fitting is for 1/4” O.D. Tubing
3. Attach the Quick Disconnect fitting to the inlet connection of the Dual Water Pressure Regulator.
WARNING Make sure that the water hoses are not kinked or bent. This could result in poor steaming perfor­mance.
