ASSEMBLY

The SODIR griddle comes from the factory completely assembled, except for the

side spacers, which need to be screwed into the threaded holes in each side of the

unit. These will help to maintain the proper clearance. It is shipped with plastic

exterior protective film, which must be removed before operation.

DO NOT

operate

the griddle prior to removing the protective film completely!

OPERATION

Initial Set-up

First, install the two spacer handles by screwing them into the threaded inserts, one

in either side. The griddle is shipped with an application of surfactant grease on the

plates to protect them from rusting, except for the PCC (chrome). This grease will

need to be removed prior to the seasoning process. Before operating your SODIR

griddle, we recommend that you season the surface of the grill plate with cooking oil

or shortening, again, except for the PCC models. For seasoning, wipe cooking oil

or shortening onto the grill plate using a clean, lint-free cloth, or coat the plate with

cooking oil spray. Set the griddle thermostat(s) to 300

F. When the temperature is

reached (the orange indicator light goes out), allow the griddle to season for 10-15

minutes and then let the griddle cool. Some smoke may appear during this process.

Wipe off excess oil using a clean, lint-free cloth. Repeat seasoning process at least

one more time. Now, your griddle is ready for use.

Preheating

To preheat the griddle, select the temperature by rotating the thermostat knob(s)

clockwise to the desired temperature setting. Both indicator lights (green and

orange) will be lit. The orange light will stay on until the griddle zone reaches the

desired temperature, and then cycle on and off. The green light will stay on until the

unit is turned off. Allow about 20 minutes for the preheating process.

Cooking

The

SODIR

griddles can be used for a wide variety of foods. Cooking times will vary

depending on food products, temperature settings and desired results.
