HDC’S
TECHNICAL THEORY OF OPERATION
When the power switch is on, voltage flows to the capillary bulb thermostat(s), drive motor assembly, & to the digital
timer**.
NOTE: HDC-20’s consist of a single thermostat that will control the entire grill area temperature. HDC
21A/30A/35A/50A consist of 2 thermostats. The upper thermostat will control the upper grill area
temperature, & the lower thermostat will control the lower grill area temperature. Provided that the grill area
temperature is below the thermostat setting, the thermostat calls for heat by supplying line voltage to the heating
element.
NOTE: The heating element(s) are secured to the under side of the grill area. As the grill area begins to heat up,
the thermostat’s bulb (Mounted near the heating element) monitors the grill area temperature. Once the grill area
temperature approaches the thermostat setting, the thermostat’s contacts open, & the heating element(s) stops
heating. The heating circuit(s) will cycle on & off as needed, even at idle. The hot dogs are placed between the roller
rods of the sliding driver frame assembly. As the drive motor runs, it operates a linkage system, which in turn,
operates the driver frame assembly by moving it up & down. As the hot dogs roll, they absorb the heat from the grill
surface area.
NOTE: The driver frames used in the HDC-20/30A/50A slide on 4 (Replaceable) nylon glides that are pressed
into the corners on the unit. The driver frames used in the HDC-21A/35A integrate 4 (Replaceable) nylon
glides with retainers. The glides help prevent the driver frame from scratching the grill area.
**The digital timer is used only on some models. The customer can program it up to 15 minutes. It is used to monitor
the product cooking/heating time. An integrated audio signal will sound for a few seconds at the end of a timed cycle.
