HELPFUL TIPS
HOT DOGS AND BUNS
All hot dogs and buns are not the same; therefore, you will need to adjust the variable heat controller accordingly. Room temperature hot dogs and buns will cook more quickly than those just removed from the refrigerator. Hot dogs should have an internal temperature of 165˚ F after cooking.
BURNING/SMOKING
If the machine is burning or smoking during cooking, press the STOP button to stop the cooking cycle. After the machine has cooled completely, use tongs to remove the hot dogs and buns. Smoking may also be caused by excess crumbs and pieces of hot dog stuck inside the machine. To prevent smoking, make sure to clean the Hot Dog Basket and empty the Crumb Catcher after each use.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
Make sure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. Allow all parts to COOL to the touch, especially the Hot Dog Basket, Bun Basket, and Crumb Tray. To prolong the life of your POP-UP HOT DOG TOASTER, please follow these simple instructions for maintenance. Never place the appliance in a dishwasher.
- Lift the toaster by the handles only.
