- Unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not in use, and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before installing or removing any parts or accessories, and before cleaning.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or if the appliance should sustain damage or malfunction in any way. In this event, return the appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- The use of accessories and/or attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injury or damage to the appliance, and may void your warranty. 8. Do not allow the power cord to hang over the edge of a table or counter, or to be exposed to hot surfaces, as damage may occur.
- Do not place appliance on or near a burner, or in a heated oven. 10. To disconnect an appliance, first turn all controls to the ‘off’ position then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

INTRODUCTION
The SODIR Hot Dog machine is designed to offer European-style hot dog snack preparation. The unit features two, four, or zero spikes, (CS0E is a steamer only) and a hot dog steam chamber consisting of a stainless steel water container, a Pyrex heat-resistant glass container with cover, and a two- compartment wire basket. The spikes are mounted through the stainless steel base. The sheathed heating element housed in the base is thermostatically controlled up to 300ºF. The thermostat has an integrated ON/OFF feature. The machine is furnished with a red lamp which cycles on and off frequently, to indicate when the heating element is actively heating.
Specifications:
| Model | Electrical | NEMA Plug |
|---|---|---|
| CS4E | 120V, 1PH, 0.65 KW, 6 Amps | 5-15 P |
| CS2E | 120V, 1PH, 0.65 KW, 6 Amps | 5-15 P |
| CS0E | 120V, 1PH, 0.65 KW, 6 Amps | 5-15 P |
OPERATION
Plug the Hot Dog Machine into a properly grounded 120V outlet. Place the stainless steel water container in the opening in the center of the unit, and fill it with clean tap water to the top of the center opening, just under where the glass container rests. Do not overfill to a level where the water contacts the Pyrex glass.
CAUTION: Never operate the unit without water in the chamber!
Place the glass container into position on top of the stainless steel water vat, fitting it inside the rim of the container, and place the wire basket inside. To preheat the machine, set the thermostat to position “9”. Allow 20-30 minutes for the unit to reach full operating temperature. With CS0E, the unit is ready for use when the glass chamber contains steam. For spike models, since the spikes are solid, it will take some time for the heat to conduct fully into them. During this period, the red lamp will cycle on and off rapidly, as the plate in the base of the unit will achieve temperature very quickly. This does not mean the unit is ready to be used, as the heat has to travel all the way to the top of the spikes for correct operation. When preheating is achieved, turn the temperature setting to the desired range, typically 7-8 on the dial.
WARNING: DO NOT leave the machine in the “C” constant position for more than 15 minutes or you risk damaging your machine. Never touch the hot spikes or the hot surface of the unit with your hand or body while in operation.
Fill both sides of the basket with your product, hot dogs, or sausages, and
place the lid on top of the glass. The dual chamber basket will allow the
separation of prepared products from uncooked.
With spiked models, to create the space for the product and to heat/toast the
inside of the bread, pierce the end of the torpedo roll by placing it on the
tip of the spike and sliding it down almost to the end. Do not allow the spike
to pierce the opposite end or the side of the roll. Normal toasting time is
between one and three minutes.
After the desired level of heating/toasting has been achieved, apply
condiments to the cavity before placing the product inside.
To turn the unit off, turn the thermostat knob to the OFF position.
CLEANING
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) the unit from power before cleaning.
Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well-working machine. Allow the machine to cool to a safe temperature before cleaning. Using a soft cloth or sponge, dampened slightly with soap and water, clean the exterior surfaces of the base and spikes. The glass container, lid, and stainless steel water container may be washed in a sink or dishwasher. Use a lint-free cloth to remove excess soap and water from the base and spikes.
DO NOT use an abrasive sponge on exterior surfaces.
DO NOT immerse the base in water, or wash it under running water.
DO NOT spray the exterior housing with any liquid.
DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing or onto electrical components.
Inspect all exterior parts on a regular basis to ensure that they are in good working order. If a part is damaged, have the unit repaired by an authorized service agency prior to returning the unit to operate. If you have trouble locating a service agency in your area, call EQUIPEX LLC at 800-649-7885 and ask for customer service.
