CAUTION

This equipment is designed and sold for commercial use only by personnel trained and experienced
in its operation and is not sold for consumer use in and around the home nor for use directly by
the general public in food service locations. For equipment to be used by the general public,
please contact the factory.

VOLTAGE

The steamer is equipped for use on the voltage specifi ed on the nameplate.

CAUTION

DO NOT CONNECT TO ANY OTHER TYPE OF CURRENT OR THE MACHINE WILL BE
SERIOUSLY DAMAGED.

INSTALLATION/OPERATION PROCEDURE

1. Place the unit on a level surface. Pour three to six quarts of water into the hot dog (small)
compartment. Do not overfi ll. (The use of hot water will reduce pre-heat time.)

2. Turn the switch to "on" position and set the thermostat control on "high" until steam is
generated.

3. For normal operation set the thermostat control in the center of the range between "high"
and "lo."

4. Place hot dogs in small compartment and buns on the wire rack in the large compartment.
Arrange the hot dogs and buns so that there is free circulation of steam.

5. To control the amount of steam in the bun compartment, use the adjustable humidity
control lever located in the bun compartment under the center cover.

6. Keep the lids closed when not serving.

7. Add water as it becomes necessary to maintain the water level.

(Add hot water for best results.)

CAUTION

DO NOT ALLOW THE UNIT TO BOIL DRY. ADD WATER WHEN REQUIRED.
DAMAGE TO THE HEATING CIRCUIT CAN RESULT FROM ALLOWING A DRY UNIT TO

RUN.

AT THE END OF EACH DAY'S OPERATION

1. Disconnect the lead-in cord from the outlet.

2. Remove any remaining hot dogs and buns.

3. Drain the water through the drain pipe.

4. Remove the perforated tray from the hot dog compartment and the wire rack and steam
baffl e assembly from the bun compartment. Remove the bun tray, partition and the glass
panels. Thoroughly clean the entire unit. Stainless steel, while corrosion resistant, should

be cleaned daily to prevent pitting.

POSSIBLE SOURCES OF TROUBLE AND SUGGESTED REMEDIES

Evidence of condensation of the outside of the steamer: Cool air striking the warm surface of
the steamer may cause moisture to collect. Protect the unit against cool drafts of air.

Casing of hot dogs burst: Too much steam is being generated.
Move the thermostat control to a lower setting.

Buns too soggy or too dry: Too much steam or too little steam will produce this condition.
Control the amount of steam by adjusting the thermostat control as required. Also by adjusting
the humidity control lever located in the bun compartment under the center cover. If buns are
too soggy, trying adding buns to the unit after the hot dogs have fully cooked.

Some buns are better adapted for steaming than others; with some experimentation you will
fi nd the one best suited to your needs.
