TO COOK
1.Place the base on a dry, level surface. Do not use on a tablecloth.
2.Pour appropriate amount of cool water into the base. Use measuring cup provided: 40 ml (1.35 oz.) for up to 4 hot dogs, and 50 ml (1.7 oz.) for 5 or 6 h ot dogs. You will see that the 40 ml amount of water completely fills up the lowest level inside the Base, covering the stainless steel heater plate.
3.Place the cooking tray on the base. The lift “hook” goes towards the front.
4.Place hot dogs on the tray. Up to four will fit if turned on angle on tray. For five or six, place at cross angle on top. Then cover with lid.
5.Insert plug into a 120 volt electrical outlet. Power comes on as soon as plugged in. The indicator light will glow, indicating power i s on and the hot dogs are cooking.
6.It takes about 60 seconds for initial boiling to begin, which can be heard as it starts. Then steam will start to build up. Steam will continue to boil away for six to seven minutes for 40 ml of water, or 7 to 9 minutes for 50 ml of water.
7.Once all the water has evaporated an internal thermostat controlling the heater plate will cycle “OFF” and the appliance will audio signal with continuous “barking”, telling you the hot dogs are heated. The indicator light will go ou t.
8.To stop the signal, unplug from outlet. This will disconnect from power. Don’t leave plugged in as otherwise, thermostat in heater plate will cycle back “on” once it has cooled.
9.Using tail as handle, lift off LID and place on nearby countertop. Usi ng tongs, remove hot dogs directly from tray, serve and enjoy!
10.CAUTION: After cooking cycle is complete, BASE and COOKING TRAY will be very hot, use caution when handing. COOKING TRAY will contain water and fats from cooking and it is best to leave it in place until cooled.
11.When cooled, carefully lift out COOKING TRAY using lift handles (large “hook”
on front end, small “nub” on other end). Water and fat will be in the tray, so carry it carefully and empty in sink.
