POSSIBLE SOURCES OF TROUBLE AND SUGGESTED REMEDIES
Casing of hot dogs burst.
1) Too much steam is being generated. Move the thermostat control to a lower setting.
2) When using frozen hot dogs, allow them to thaw before putting inside the unit.
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 or adjust the humidity control lever located in the bun
compartment on the bun tray. Do not put buns in the unit while hot dogs are cooking on high.
They will be too soggy.
Some buns are better adapted for steaming than others; with some experimentation you will find the
one best suited to your needs.
Cleaning
Using tap water will promote scaling that will eventually prevent the unit from working properly.
Depending on your water quality, this can happen within a few days. The use of distilled water will
prevent scaling inside the water tank.
To remove scaling from tank:
1. Remove all product form the unit.
2. Unplug unit from the outlet.
3. Drain any existing water from the tank.
4. Fill the tank with vinegar and allow to sit overnight.
5. Drain all vinegar from the tank,
6. Fill tank with water and rinse toughly, REPEAT until smell of vinegar is gone.
7. Re-fill tank with water (distilled preferably)
8. Plug unit back into wall outlet and test for proper operation.
