2.1 Application of the appliance
The Hot Dog Grill is designed for re-heating hot dogs, frankfurters, and other pre-cooked
sausages. It is also suitable for English style uncooked sausages, but will probably require
a higher thermostat setting. Hot dogs and frankfurters must be completely defrosted be-
fore cooking.

tle or no deterioration in appearance or taste. The unique feature allows the Hot Dog Grill
to maximise the merchandising potential with minimal supervision. If any signs of dete-
rioration appear, the grill plate temperature should be lowered (see next chapter “Grill
plate temperature).
3.2.2 Grill plate temperature
The grill plate temperature has been factory pre-set at 100°C. This operating temperature
can be adjusted between 80-130°C. To change the temperature proceed as follows:
• Press the button marked ‘SET’. ‘LI’ will appear in the window changing to the pre-
set temperature (100°C), flashing on and off.
• While the number is flashing, press the up or down arrows on the right hand side
of the control panel to raise or to lower the operating temperature by increments of
5°C.
• Press ‘SET’ again, the new temperature setting is now held in the control memory.
• Allow 10 minutes for the new temperature to take effect.
3.3 After use
3.3.1 Cleaning
• Switch ‘OFF’ the machine and remove the power plug from the wall supply.
• Remove the grid and wash thoroughly in hot, soapy water using a soft brush.
• While the grill is still warm, clean it with a soft, clean cloth wrapped around a small
quantity of ice chips and dry thoroughly.
• Do not wash the grill surface with soapy water.
• Clean all stainless steel surfaces and the control panel with a proprietary stainless
steel cleaner or a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly. Replace the grid on the drive
studs.
The grill plate has an anodised coat. Do not use any abrasive materials, scouring pads or
sharp implements to remove food residue. These will damage the plate surface and inval-
idate the warranty.
