HOW TO OPERATE
Place the VINTAGE COLLECTION™ OLD FASHIONED HOT DOG•
ROLLER on a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting.
Stainless Steel Rollers must be correctly inserted in order to operate•
properly. Also make sure that the Drip Tray is in place.
Always make sure that the cord is away from any water source.•
It is acceptable to use an extension cord if necessary.
The dial on the right of The VINTAGE COLLECTION™ OLD•
FASHIONED HOT DOG ROLLER turns on the power. Turn to the
ON position. The red power indicator light should come on.
The dial on the left regulates the heating temperature, from MIN to•
MAX. Turn to MAX. Let the unit warm up for 3 minutes or so.
Once the appliance has finished heating, place the hot dogs on the•
Stainless Steel Rollers (evenly spaced). Up to eight regular-sized hot
dogs or 12 breakfast sausage links can be cooked at one time.
The hot dogs will begin to roll. They will continue to•
roll at approximately two cycles per minute.
As the hot dogs cook, they will begin to darken in color. The hot dogs•
should be cooked for 15 - 20 minutes depending on the type and size of
hot dog. The thicker the hot dog, the longer it will take to cook through.
After they have fully cooked, turn the heater knob down to a medium heat•
so that the hot dogs stay warm and continue rolling prior to serving.
After the cooked hot dogs are removed from the Stainless Steel Rollers,•
they can be replaced with new hot dogs to cook if desired. Remember
to readjust the temperature to MAX when putting on new hot dogs.
By following these simple instructions, your VINTAGE COLLECTION™ OLD
FASHIONED HOT DOG ROLLER will be fun for friends, family and kids of all ages!
HELPFUL TIPS
POWER LIGHT
If the red power indicator light does not come on after turning the dial to the ON
position, check the electrical plug to make sure it is fully plugged into outlet.
ROLLERS
If the Stainless Steel Rollers are not turning, make sure the power light
is on and the unit is fully plugged into outlet. Turn unit off and on again.
Make sure the end roller pin is correctly inserted into the Base.
Sometimes hot dogs are square in shape which prevents them from
rolling properly. Rotate the hot dogs, using tongs, on the Stainless Steel
Rollers until they begin to plump from cooking. They will eventually
even out in shape and automatically move on the rollers.
HEATING
If hot dogs are cooking unevenly, move the hot dogs from
one side of the Stainless Steel Rollers to the other.

cleaning is necessary, wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
