CAUTION

WARNING

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.

VOLTAGE

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

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 approximately 9 (Model 35) to approximately 12 (Model

70) quarts of water into the water pan. You can add an additional 2 quarts when not using the

juice pan. Do not overll. Using distilled water will prolong the life of the heating element.

2. Turn the switch to “ON” position and set the thermostat control on “HIGH” until steam is generated.
Normal heat up time is 30 minutes. Using hot water will reduce heat up time.

3. After pre-heat, place hot dogs on the top or bottom hot dog shelf. Arrange the hot dogs so that
there is free circulation of steam. A full load of refrigerated hot dogs will take approximately 45
minutes to reach serving temperature.

4. After the hot dogs are brought up to serving temperature, turn the knob to a 3 or 4 setting and
add the buns to the wire rack in the bun compartment. One can control the steam in the bun

compartment by opening the water ll compartment at the front of the bun compartment.

5. To hold the product, set the thermostat control at setting 3 or 4.

6. Keep the door closed when not serving.

7. Add water as it becomes necessary to maintain the water level. (Add hot water for best results.)
All models are equipped with a low water level indicator. When the light comes on, add water.

CAUTION

DO NOT ALLOW THE UNIT TO OPERATE DRY; THIS MAY DAMAGE THE HEATING
ELEMENT. ADD WATER WHEN REQUIRED.

AT THE END OF EACH DAY’S OPERATION

1. Disconnect the power cord from the outlet.

2. Remove any remaining hot dogs and buns.

3. Allow to cool and drain the water through the drain pipe.

4. Remove the inside components of the steamer. It is easiest if the suggested order is followed:

a. Remove the divider.

b. Remove the wire bun rack.

c. Remove the top hot dog shelf.

d. Remove the bottom hot dog shelf.

e. Remove the bun shelf.

f. Remove the juice tray.

5. Reverse the order to reassemble the unit.
