Warmer (for cooked hotdogs/hamburgers) • Turn on “high” • Add water via holes inside bottom of warmer • When warm, adjust setting lower. You must keep resetting the timer throughout the day to keep warmer on all day. NOTE: To minimize waste, we suggest cooking to order after the 1st half of the last game of the day. 6

Snow Cones • Pull out long table from shed & set up outside shack. • Place snow cone machine on metal tray (using 2 people as machine is heavy). • Move machine and metal tray to fold out table, allowing draining tube to hang off end. • Place ice chest with ice under table so it is shaded all day. • Place syrup bottles, napkins, and straws in front of table. • Fill metal funnel on top of machine, close lid, turn on machine, and all ice will be ground and in the glass portion of the machine. • Use one paper cup to fill serving cup in snow cone shape. Use one half pump of single color per cup. • Please do not let kids pump out syrup as it will get very messy with a lot of waste. 8
