Troubleshooting

There is condensation building up outside of the Cart
Cool air striking the warm units surface may cause moisture accumulation. Protect the unit against cool drafts of air.
Casing of the Hot Dogs Burst
Too much steam is being generated. Move the thermostat control to a lower setting.
Buns are too Soggy or too dry
Too much or too little steam will produce these conditions. Control the amount of steam by adjusting the temperature control, as necessary.
