Operating Instructions for the Semak Hot Dog Cooker & Bun Spiker
•Locate the appliance on a level surface making sure that there is a clearance of
100mm around the appliance for ventilation.
•Make sure that the switches are in the “OFF” position. Plug into an earthed
single phase 10Amp 240V AC power supply.
•Turn the switch for the corresponding tank or bun spikes on. The indicator
switch will light up when “ON”. The “TANK” switch will turn the tank element
on and the “SPIKES” switch will turn the spikes on
•Lift the lid, remove the wire rack and pour water into the tank to cover the
element. Replace the tank and lid. Place hotdogs in the tank. Packing them
tightly together increases the cook time required to heat them thoroughly.
•Turn the “TANK” switch to 2 or 3 so that the water will simmer. Allow the bun
spiker to warm up 3-5 minutes. Adjust the temperature to achieve the desired
level of heating.
•Check the water level in the tank each hour to ensure that there is sufficient
water in the tank to cover the element. Top up if necessary.
•Ensure that the bun /roll is long enough to cover the whole spike. Short buns
may have the end pierced by the spiker if they are not long enough and
depending on how the hot dog etc is served this may cause sauce/mustard etc.
to drip from the bun. Place the bun on the spike. DO NOT touch the spike with
your hand to avoid burns. Some rolls/buns are soft and this can inadvertently
lead to burns if the sides of the roll/bun collapse or are pierced. Extra care must
be taken if using soft rolls and crispy ones are recommended.
•DO NOT butter the roll. Butter can be added after the roll is toasted.
•The buns are cooked when they appear toasted on the inside. Lift the bun off
the spiker and look in to determine if it is toasted. As a guide they take 1-2
minutes. Add sauce if required and insert the hot dog.
•When finished heating turn the switches “Off”. The appliance is “OFF” when
the indicator switches are no longer lit.

Cleaning Instructions for the Semak Hot Dog Cooker & Bun Spiker
The Hot Dog Cooker must be cleaned daily as part of a HACCP Food Safety
Program.
ALWAYS turn off the appliance and allow it to cool down before cleaning.
Remove the tank and lid and wash separately. Empty the tank.
Pour a small amount of hot soapy water in the tank and wash greasy residues. Tip
out soapy water and add clear water to rinse the soap away. Spray with a HACCP
Endorsed food grade sanitizer and wipe dry.
DO NOT leave water in the tank overnight
The surface of the spiker is Teflon coated. Do not use abrasive materials on the
spikes e.g. Steel wool or scourers etc as they will scratch the Teflon or accelerate
the wear and tear of the Teflon, reducing the performance of the machine. If parts
of the roll stick to the spikes remove with a damp cloth. A damp cloth is all that is
necessary to clean the spikes
Use a barely damp cloth to wipe the outside of the machine once it has cooled. DO
NOT use running water to clean the appliance.
DO NOT use caustic substances to clean the appliance and do not allow caustic
substances to make contact with any electrical components of the appliance.
It is important to note that Semak cannot warrant the Teflon coating of the spikes
where damage is caused by using abrasive cleaning products or where scratching
is caused by utensils. However, we do warrant the Teflon where it is evident that
the materials are faulty or the workmanship is faulty.
