Directions on How to Use...

1. Before starting, make certain that your hot dog is completely thawed. Use of frozen or partially thawed hot dogs may damage the FrankFormer, and prevent proper cutting.
2. Place FrankFormer on a flat, stable surface.
3. Open the top cover (containing plastic cutting edge) and the shield section of the device.
4. Insert thawed hot dog into the base unit – pressing one end of the hot dog over the cutting posts for the “eyes” and “mouth”.
5. Close the cutting shield, then press down on the blade cover until the FrankFormer is completely shut.
6. Hold the shield portion of the FrankFormer while slowly extracting the blades from your hot dog. (i.e. re-open the blade cover)
7. Open the shield and remove hot dog from the FrankFormer base.
8. You are now ready to cook and eat them!!
