The Mistral Hot Diggity Dog Hot Dog Maker (MHD10) is a household appliance designed for steaming frankfurters and warming hot dog buns. It comes with a 3-year replacement warranty, indicating its intended durability and manufacturer support.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Hot Diggity Dog is to cook frankfurters and warm hot dog buns using steam. Frankfurters are placed in a steaming container, while buns are pierced onto a heating rod. The appliance uses water to generate steam, ensuring even cooking and warming.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Power: Intended for use with a 240V outlet only.
• Capacity: Can cook up to 6 standard frankfurters at one time.
• Heating Method: Steam-based cooking for frankfurters and a heating rod for buns.
• Safety Features: Includes an indicator switch and light, and warnings against overfilling with water, immersing the motor housing, and operating near flammable materials.
• Warranty: 3-year replacement warranty for parts defective in workmanship or materials.

Usage Features:

• Simple Operation: Place the appliance on a dry, level surface, add cold water to the water bowl up to the MAX mark, place frankfurters in the steaming container, and pierce a hot dog bun onto the heating rod.
• Indicator Switch and Light: An indicator switch turns the appliance on, and a light glows to indicate operation.
• Cooking Time: Frankfurters typically cook in 6 to 8 minutes, with variations depending on whether they are cold or frozen, the number being cooked, and their size. More frankfurters or larger frankfurters will increase cooking time.
• Bun Warming: The heating rod warms hot dog buns simultaneously with frankfurter cooking.
• Safety Precautions During Use:
  • Always add water to the water bowl BEFORE cooking to prevent overheating.
  • Do not overfill the appliance with water to avoid hot water ejection.
