HOW TO USE YOUR HOT DOG COOKER/GRILLER

IMPORTANT!

Before using your hot dog cooker for the first time, apply a vegetable oil such as sunflower oil or 
canola oil to the ends of your rollers. This will help to keep them turning smoothly and easily.

Avoid using non-stick sprays because these can contain lecithin, which will cause an eventual 
buildup on your rollers.

To use your machine:

1. Turn the 

Power 

switch to 

ON.

2. Use the temperature control dials to the desired settings. To cook product more rapidly, turn the 

temperature dials to their highest settings, or in a clockwise direction. To cook more slowly, or to 
hold already cooked product on a warm setting, adjust the temperature dial down, or in a counter-
clockwise direction.

Note: 

Your DAWG series cooker’s separate temperature dials control the heat settings for different 

sets of rollers. The 

Front

 dial controls all rollers (number of rollers will vary with model), while the 

Back 

dial controls the last 3 rollers of your cooker. This allows you to cook some hot dogs more 

quickly, while holding more cooked product at a lower warming temperature. Model 4095 has a 
dial control which affects all 5 rollers.

In addition, the green heating indicator lights marked “Heating” will be lit when the rollers are 
actively being heated; when they have reached the temperature set by the temperature dials, the 
light will go out. Increasing the temperature setting for a group of rollers will cause the indicator 
light to go on and when the new temperature is reached the light will extinguish to let you know 
that the new setting is reached.

CAUTION! 

Rollers will be hot. Use care when cleaning, adding product or serving product!

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT!

Do not immerse any part of this machine in water. Turn the machine 

OFF 

prior to cleaning or 

maintenance and allow to cool before touching rollers. 

CAUTION! 

R

ollers will be hot.

Follow the cleaning and maintenance guidelines to ensure a long life for your machine.

To clean your machine:

1. Turn the 

Power 

switch to 

OFF.

2. Use a soft cloth or towel to wipe the surfaces of the rollers. 

DO NOT USE METAL TO CLEAN 

YOUR ROLLERS!

 This may result in damage to the machine. In most cases the natural oils 

exuded from sausages or hot dogs will keep the machine well lubricated. You should simply need 
to wipe the rollers and outside surfaces of your machine with a cloth to remove excess oils or 
dust. Should you need to remove any caked on material such as cheese or condiments, use a 
wooden utensil and then clean with a soft cloth.
