Safety Precautions
Paragon values your continued safety above all else. Please follow
these guidelines when using your equipment to prevent injury and
maximize product performance:
No direct contact to equipment by the
general public should be allowed when
used in food service locations. Only trained
personnel should operate this equipment.
Carefully read any and all instructions before
beginning operation of the equipment.
Always wear safety glasses when servicing
equipment.
ATTENTION
CAUTION
CHAUD
HOT
Avoid touching the cabinet surfaces which
may have temperatures over 170� F. Use
caution when opening either door due to
steam exiting out.
Any repair made to equipment by anyone other
than qualified personnel will void warranty
and may also create unsafe working conditions.
NEVER make alterations to the equipment. To
reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not remove
or open cover. Paragon’s customer service will
provide assistance or documentation for any
electrical repairs.
p. 4
Machine must be properly grounded to prevent
electrical shock. Do NOT immerse warmer
elements or any other part of this equipment
in water. Doing so may damage equipment
and prevent it from working properly. Always
unplug equipment before cleaning or servicing
to prevent electric shock.
Electrical Requirements
This product requires a properly-grounded 120 volt supply with
a 15 amp circuit, and uses a NEMA style 5/15 plug. (Standard
American plug) The Paragon Hot Dog Steamer has a current
draw of 10 amps or 1200 watts. (Export voltage is 230VAC).
Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and can result in
damage to the blower, heat element, lights etc.
We recommend your Paragon Hot Dog Steamer be plugged
directly into a dedicated outlet. Extension cords may create a
safety hazard and reduce its performance.
Be sure outlet accepts three (3) prong grounded plug. DO NOT
use a three (3) prong to two (2) prong adapter.
Unpacking
Paragon carefully inspects each product during assembly
and after completion to adhere to strict quality guidelines,
and packs it securely to ensure safe delivery to each of our
customers. Be sure to carefully remove all packing material and
adhesive before any operation. Please examine your product
to guarantee all equipment has arrived, complete and in good
condition.
If you believe that any
damage may have occurred
during shipment or parts may
be missing, please contact
Paragon immediately for
replacement.

Operating Instructions
1. Always clean unit thoroughly before each use.
2. Fill the water pan with water, up to 8 quarts. The warmer
the water, the faster the machine will heat up. For optimal
performance, we recommend distilled water.
3. Insert Hotdog and bun trays and divider.
4. Plug cord in and turn the POWER switch to ON.
5. Turn heat control to “HIGH” position. This will turn on the
heating element in the base of the unit. The machine should
start producing steam. The indicated area on the dial is the
optimal setting.
6. Place up to 45 hotdogs in the lower hotdog compartment
and steam. BE SURE TO ARRANGE HOTDOGS LOOSELY TO
ALLOW THE STEAM TO CIRCULATE FREELY BETWEEN EACH
OF THEM. All meats should have an internal temperature of
140 degrees Fahrenheit before serving.
7. Once all hotdogs have reached serving temperature turn the
thermostat down to between 160�- 170� degrees to keep them
warm. CAUTION: Use tongs to remove buns and hotdogs
from the steamer as the product will be hot to the touch.
8. Place several buns in the top bun compartment. Place buns
as needed. This is a highly efficient steam generator and
warmer. Leaving buns in too long will result in either soggy
or overcooked buns.
9. If the low water Indicator light comes on, add up to 4 more
quarts of water to restart the heating element.
Steam is vaporized water… the visible white mist that is condensation as a result
of boiling water mixing with the cooler air. This mist does consist of tiny droplets
of liquid water. Please take this into consideration when placing the Dog Hut.
There will be condensation, drops of water and possible pooling of water in, on
and around the Dog Hut and the surface on which it is placed. Paragon cannot
be held responsible for any water damage resulting because of this.
p. 6
Cleaning & Maintenance
It is recommended that the steamer be cleaned out daily using
suitable cleaners that may be used on food service equipment.
WARNING: To reduce electrical shock or injury always make
sure the machine is turned off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Empty the water pan using the quick turn water release
valve located on the side of the unit. The water can get greasy,
so it is essential that it be changed frequently. CAUTION: the
water will be hot!
• Carefully remove glass doors and all interior components.
(bun trays, hot dog trays and dividers) to clean the two rails
that support the bun trays, remove the fasteners and lift the
rails out.
• Wash all interior parts as well as hood and door and water
pan as necessary with soap and water.
• The stainless steel body of the steamer is easy to keep clean.
Usually a damp cloth will remove all dirt and grease spots.
NEVER USE ABRASIVES on the stainless steel body, or the vinyl
labels. Clean gently with soap and water.
• The glass should always be clean and sparkling. Remember
the inside of the glass must be cleaned too.
• Clean base of unit with damp cloth and dry. Use care
to avoid damaging the float switch. See #17 in picture for
location of float switch.
• Take special precautions when cleaning around electrical
switches on control panel. Use a damp cloth. NEVER spray or
allow any water to run near seams on control panel that may
allow circuits to be damp or wet inside of component box.
Use a damp sponge or cotton swab applicator to clean plastic
knobs.
NEVER use water on the electrical components in the base.
p. 7
Controls and their Functions
Variable Adjustable Thermostat:
Infinite heat control. Controls the heavy duty submersible
heating element located in the base which controls the amount
of heat going to the water pan to generate steam.
Illuminated ON/OFF switch:
Gives you a positive indication that the machine is turned on.
Low Water Indicator Light:
The Dog Hut™ has an automatic shutoff feature when the
water level gets too low. When the Low water indicator light
turns on, the heating element will automatically shut off until
more water is added. The water reservoir holds a maximum of 8
quarts, but the low water light will come on when it gets down
to 4 quarts. We then recommend you add 4 more quarts to
return it to full capacity.
Quick Turn Water Release Valve:
Located on the side of the unit, it eliminates burnt fingers and
spilt water, as well as allowing for easier cleaning.
Paragon values your continued safety above all else. Please follow
these guidelines when using your equipment to prevent injury and
maximize product performance:
WARNING: Always turn the POWER switch to OFF when the
machine is not in use.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the
machine malfunctions, has been dropped or damaged.
This application is not intended for use in wet location. Never
locate application where it may fall into a water container.
Do not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation
or exhaust opening as this may cause an electrical shock, fire or
damage to the appliance.
