HOW TO OPERATE

Before using your HOT DOG STEAMER, follow the cleaning directions 

found in the CLEANING & MAINTENANCE section.

1. 

Place the unit on a stable surface near an electrical outlet before starting.

2. 

Fill the Steaming Tray with cold water up to the desired level. Ensure that the water level 

does not exceed the MAX fill line and does not fall below the MIN fill line on the Water Level 

Indicator. 

NOTE: Depending on how long you use your unit, you may need 

to periodically refill the Steaming Tray with water.

3. 

Place up to 24 hot dogs in the Hot Dog Tray and close the tray. Place up to 

12 hot dog buns in the Bun Warming Tray and cover with the Top Lid.

4. 

Turn the Control Dial to HIGH to begin steaming hot dogs. Depending on the number of hot 

dogs in the tray, hot dogs may take 15-20 minutes to fully steam.   

NOTE: Periodically check hot dogs and hot dog buns to see if adequately cooked. 

5. 

When hot dogs and buns are ready, carefully remove the Top Lid and pull open the Hot Dog 

Tray using an oven mitt. Using cooking tongs, take out a bun and fill with a hot dog.  

CAUTION: Use EXTREME CAUTION when opening steamer and serving! Hot 

steam and hot water escaping from the unit may cause scalding.

6. 

Once hot dogs are fully steamed, keep warm by turning the Control Dial to WARM.

HELPFUL TIPS

•

Make sure there is always a sufficient amount of water left in the Steamer 

Tray, especially when making numerous batches of hot dogs.

•

For best results, do not overfill the Hot Dog Tray or the Bun Warming Tray.

•

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.
