INSTALLATION: Attach four-inch legs provided. Connect power cord to wall outlet.

CONDITIONS OF ACCEPTABILITY: All equipment is designed to operate under normal operating

PREPARING THE STEAMER FOR DAILY OPERATION

1. Place large steamer pan in reservoir and add approximately 1 ½” of water. Be sure heating
element is properly in place.

2. Place perforated steamer basket in steamer pan. Never let pans run dry or fill pans until steam
baskets are submerged.

PREPARING & COOKING THE PRODUCTS

1. The only correct way to prepare hot dogs and sausages is to steam them!

2. Check water level to make sure that water is not flooding into steamer basket, but sufficient
enough to keep pans from burning. (Approximately ¼” below steamer basket.)

3. Turn on sausage and hot dog heating elements to highest setting. WARNING: DO NOT LEAVE
ANY HEAT SWITCH IN THE HIGH/MAX POSITION FOR ANY LONGER THAN ONE
HOUR AT A TIME. For best results, set heat switch at medium (7 or 8) and let water heat up
gradually over a longer period of time, then set to max/high if a boil is desired. Heat until water
temperature is a constant 185°F, approximately 15-20 minutes, up to 30 minutes for cold water.

4. Turn on bun heating element to just over halfway mark. Heat until water temperature is a constant
120-120 degrees. This section should be kept at a lower setting than hot dogs and sausages.

5. Turn heating elements down to a point where water used to steam hot dogs and sausages will stay
at 185° and water used to steam buns will stay at 120-130 degrees. BE SURE TO RE-CHECK

WATER TEMPS WITH THE THERMOMETER THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

6. Remove hot dogs and sausages from packaging and place in separate steamer baskets. This will
preserve the integrity of each item’s distinctive flavor. DO NOT HEAT PRODUCTS IN
PACKAGES.

7. Remove buns from package and place in bun steamer basket.

8. Hot dogs and sausages are ready when internal temperature is 165°F. This should take 10-15
minutes for refrigerated product, longer for frozen. The interior temperature of the products
should be rechecked throughout the day by placing the thermometer lengthwise through to the
core of the hot dog or sausage.

9. Buns should be ready after steaming 3-4 minutes. They should be warm and soft.

REMEMBER: Product rotation is important! Whether you rotate the cold product in the steamer basket
from the back to the front, or from one side of the steamer basket to the other, separate heated product from
cold product.

CAUTION: Spillage should be avoided at all costs. Do not spill liquids over the heating elements or into
the well section of the unit. If this happens, disconnect power supply immediately and proceed to clean as
thoroughly as possible. If you are uncertain about the condition of the unit (i.e. wet inside), call Walmart
Facility Maintenance & Repair Hot Line 1-800-932-3367.

CLEANING:

BASE UNIT: Clean as necessary. Avoid the use of excessive amounts of water and liquids around
electrical parts and heating elements. A disinfectant/antibacterial solution should be used over the entire
unit daily. Contact your local health authority for approved products and concentrations. To clean under
heating elements, disconnect power supply cord from wall outlet. Let the elements cool thoroughly. The
elements can be lifted out of the drip trays to afford easier access for cleaning. Always be sure to replace
the element correctly in the drip trays.

PANS & BASKETS: Pans and baskets should be cleaned thoroughly on a daily basis to avoid any mineral
and bacterial build up. Allow to air dry. Use health department approved products and procedures.

MAINTENANCE: If service is required, call Walmart Facility Maintenance & Repair Hot Line 1-800­932-3367.
