WARNING

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 overfill. (The use of hot water will reduce pre-heat time.)

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.

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.)

DO N OT ALLOW T H E U N I T TO BOI L DRY. ADD WATER WHEN REQUIRED. DAMAGE

TO THE HEATING CIRCUIT CAN RESULT FROM ALLOWING A DRY UNIT TO RUN.

CAUTION

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 baffle 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 ind the one best suited to your needs.

Premature failure of the heating element or a buildup of calcuim deposits is evedence of not using distilled water.
