WARNING ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Install the Drain Valve by threading it onto the outlet located on the front/left of the machine.
(Do not remove the white silicon tape from the threads.)
2. Install the Handles by opening the glass lid and removing the product tray. Then screw the handles
onto the body using the two Phillips screws in each handle.
3. Install the Dispensing Handle to the Round Cam by threading it into the tapped hole. (Note: the
handle will have a slight outward tilt when properly installed.)
4. Install the sign using the two thumb screws on the back panel of the chassis.
5. Attach the assembled machine to the Bun Box by placing it on top of the bun box and installing the
two Phillips screws through the mounting brackets.
6. Plug the machine into a properly grounded 120 volt power supply.
7. Fill the reservoir with 10 quarts of water via the water inlet on the side of the chassis. Using hot water
will speed up the start-up time of the machine.
8. Load the product board with the desired amount of hotdogs by placing the first hotdog on the
dispensing wheel and placing the balance above it. Place the desired amount of buns in the bun
drawer.
9. Turn on the “Master Switch” and set the thermostat to a maximum setting. The machine should be
producing steam in approximately 5-7 minutes (depending on water and room temperature). You can
adjust the thermostat according to your operating conditions.
10. Once Steam is produced adjust the thermostat to High to COOK and Medium to HOLD.
11. Once steam is produced a standard size hotdog should reach serving temperature in approximately 20-
30 minutes. Adjust the thermostat accordingly.
12. To Dispense a hotdog, place an OPEN bun in the serving tray and pull handle forward slowly to
dispense a hotdog into the bun. The handle is spring loaded and will return to the Ready position.
13. When the “Low Water Indicator” goes OFF, the heater will turn off automatically to prevent it from
burning out. Add 6 quarts of water via the water inlet on the left hand side of the machine. The “Low
Water Indicator” will turn ON and the machine will heat again.
CONDENSATION
1. Cool air striking the warm steamer may cause moisture accumulation. Protecting the unit from cool
drafts of air will help prevent condensation.
2. The machine is designed to be sloped slightly towards the rear. This is so that any condensation that
forms on the undersides of the hotdog and juice tray will drain back into the machine. Should you
place the machine on an un-level surface that slopes toward the front you may experience water
pooling around the front of the machine. To prevent this you will need to slightly elevate the front of
the machine.
CLEANING THE MACHINE
1. At the end of day: Turn the machine off using the master switch. Drain any remaining water out of
the reservoir using the drain on the lower right side of the machine (caution: the water will be hot
unless you wait long enough to allow the water to cool before draining!)
2. Remove the top glass cover, product board, drip tray, bun drawer, juice tray and serving tray and clean
them in a sink or dishwasher. Wipe down the inside and outside of the chassis with a soft cloth.
3. After the components have been cleaned, re-assemble the machine as outlined above.
