1. Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the appliance for any damage.
2. Retain packaging for future storage or transport.

3.2 Placement

1. Place the hot dog grill on a stable, level, and heat-resistant surface. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for ventilation.
2. Ensure the non-skid rubber feet are securely positioned to prevent movement during operation.

3.3 Initial Cleaning

1. Before first use, wipe down the rollers, drip tray, and glass cover with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
2. Rinse thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth and dry completely.
3. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the rollers to create a non-stick surface.

3.4 Power Connection

2. Plug the grounded US-standard 120-volt power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Powering On and Preheating

1. Flip the red POWER switch to the “ON” position. The rollers will begin to rotate.
2. Turn the FRONT and REAR temperature control knobs to your desired heating level. The green HEATING indicator lights will illuminate when the heating elements are active.
3. Allow the grill to preheat for approximately 5-10 minutes, or until the rollers reach the desired temperature.

4.2 Cooking Hot Dogs/Sausages

1. Place hot dogs or sausages directly onto the rotating rollers. The 9 rollers can accommodate up to 24 standard-sized hot dogs.
2. The rollers rotate 360 degrees to ensure even cooking.
3. Utilize the dual temperature controls: set the rear rollers to a higher temperature for cooking, and the front rollers to a lower temperature for keeping cooked items warm and ready to serve.
4. Monitor the cooking process. Cooking times will vary based on the type and size of the product, and the desired doneness.

4.3 Keeping Warm

Once hot dogs are cooked, they can be moved to the front rollers, which can be set to a lower temperature to maintain warmth without overcooking.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your hot dog grill.

5.1 Daily Cleaning

1. Turn off the power switch and unplug the appliance. Allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove the stainless steel drip tray and empty any accumulated grease or food particles. Wash the drip tray with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the stainless steel rollers with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by a rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
4. Clean the glass sneeze guard cover with a water-moistened cloth.
5. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling or storing the unit.

5.2 Deep Cleaning (as needed)

For more thorough cleaning, especially if residue builds up on the rollers:

• After the unit has cooled, turn the power switch on (without heat) to allow the rollers to rotate.
• Gently hold a damp cloth against the rotating rollers to remove cooked-on residue.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the stainless steel surfaces.
