Before using your hotdog steamer
Before using your hotdog steamer for the first time, be sure to
1. Remove unit from the box and remove all parts.
2. With the operator side facing you (dial to the left) set it down on a flat sturdy
surface.
3. Open the top covers of the unit and remove the parts and packing foam. Put
the parts to the side.
4. Slide in glass windows for both the back and front of the unit.
5. Pour six quarts of water into the base of the unit to cover the heating element.
DO NOT OVERFILL. It is recommended that you use hot water to reduce
preheat time. Make sure valve drain cap is screwed tightly closed.
6. Once the reservoir is filled, place the perforated rectangular base on the left
side of the unit.
7. Place the square base plate with the control lever on the right side of the unit.
8. Slide the partition piece into the left slots to separate the hot dog and bun
sections of the steamer.
9. Place the hot dog rack to the of the left side compartment. Make sure the
rack is standing on its feet to allow proper circulation of steam.
10. Place the bun rack on the right side in the bun compartment.
11. Place lid beam in the middle of the unit so the lids rest on the edges of the
beam.
12. Place lids down on unit edges and swing close. Adjust lid beam to fit if
needed.
13. Ensure that the unit is plugged into a grounded and properly-sized electrical
outlet to minimize shock or fire hazard. Refer to the electrical requirements
on the serial tag located on the operator side of the unit.
14. Turn the switch on and set the thermostat control on the highest setting until
steam is generated.
15. For normal operation, set the thermostat control in the center of the range
between the highest and lowest temperature.
16. Place hot dogs in the small compartment and buns on the wire rack in the
large compartment. Arrange the hot dogs and buns so that there is enough
room for circulation of steam.
17. To control the amount of steam in the bun compartment, use the adjustable
humidity control lever located in the bun compartment under the wire rack.
18. Keep lids closed when not serving.
19. Add hot water when necessary to maintain the water level. Do not allow the
unit to burn dry. If you accidentally run it dry, turn off and allow the unit to
completely cool before adding water. Adding water to a dry unit while it is still
hot could cause damage to the elements.
