INSTALLATION
The SODIR convection oven needs to be connected to a grounded outlet of
proper voltage (208/240V or 120V) depending on the model. DO NOT place the
unit in a damp area or near steam sources. Make sure that the exterior rear
ventilation panel is not blocked. Maintain 4” clearance at each side, rear and top
of the oven.

OPERATION
Preheating
To preheat the convection oven, select the desired temperature by rotating the
thermostat knob clockwise to desired temperature setting and then turn the
timer knob that also acts as an ON/OFF switch clockwise to the maximum
setting (120 minutes). Both indicator lights (green and red) will be lit. The red
light will stay on until the oven reaches the desired temperature. The green light
will stay on until the timer reaches the indicated time setting. Allow 7 to 15
minutes for the preheating process.
Cooking
After the preheat process is completed, select the desired temperature (unless it
is already set) and turn the timer knob to select the time setting. When the set
time is elapsed, the heating element and the blower fan will be switched off and
the green indicator light will go out.
The SODIR convection ovens can be used for a wide variety of foods. Cooking
times will vary depending on food products, temperature settings and desired
results.
Cleaning
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning
Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well working machine.
Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. Remove the baking racks and the bake
pan, and clean them separately using a damp cloth or sponge and mild cleaning
liquid soap. Use a cloth dampened slightly with a soap and water mixture to
clean all exterior and interior stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean lint-free cloth to
remove the excess water or soap.
DO NOT use an abrasive sponge on exterior or interior surfaces
DO NOT wash the oven under running water
DO NOT spray the exterior motor housing with any liquid
DO NOT allow water to drip into the motor housing or onto electrical
components

Inspect all parts on a regular basis to ensure that all parts are in good working
order. If a part is damaged, have the unit repaired by an authorized service
agency prior to returning the unit to operation. If you have trouble locating a
service agency in your area, call EQUIPEX, LTD. at 1-800-649-7885 and ask for
customer service.
