INSTALLATION

1. Clean inside of unit thoroughly with
detergent or mild soap and water. Rinse
thoroughly with water. DO NOT
IMMERSE IN WATER.

2. Level the unit.

3. Turn the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF",
connect the lead in cord to a 3-prong
grounded outlet of the correct voltage and
amperage as indicated on the nameplate.

GENERAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

1. To fill unit with water, open the water fill
door, located in the middle of the unit on
the operators side.
A. Pour from 6 to 8 quarts of water into

the unit.

B. Use hot water to shorten pre-heat time.

2. Turn the switch to "ON" position and set the
thermostat to "HIGH".

3. Keep covers closed and allow unit to pre-heat.
Pre-heat time will vary according to the
temperature and quantity of water initially placed
in the unit.
A. Place hot dogs in the small wire rack, inside the

juice pan, located in the small compartment.

B. Place buns in the large wire rack inside the

large compartment.

C. Arrange the hot dogs and buns so there is free

circulation of steam around them. (Stack each
row of hot dogs the opposite direction).

4. For holding temperature in safe range, set the
thermostat control between "4" and "HIGH".

5. To control the amount of steam in the bun
compartment, use the adjustable humidity control
lever, located in the bun compartment under the
middle cover. Rotating the lever 90° toward the
end of the unit fully opens the control.

6. Keep lids closed when not serving.

7. Using frozen hot dogs and buns greatly increases
the heat up time. Use refrigerated hot dogs and
buns when possible.

8. Check the water level periodically by opening the
water fill door, adding water when necessary. Add
hot water if available.

CAUTION

DO NOT ALLOW THE UNIT TO BOIL DRY.
ADD WATER AS REQUIRED.

9. The hot dog juice tray, located under the hot
dogs, prevents the hot dog juice from mixing with
the water in the unit. This feature makes the
steamer much easier to clean.
