INTRODUCTION
The SODIR models PSE, PSS AND PCC -400 -600 AND -900 griddles are designed
to offer quality cooking. The griddles are constructed of food service quality stainless
steel, and are equipped with fine grain cast iron, cold-rolled steel or chrome cooking
surfaces. The griddles are versatile in application, and easy to operate. The heating
elements are thermostatically controlled up to 570 F with separate controls for one
(400), two (600) or three (900) zones. These controls are equipped with an integrated
power switch for convenience. Two green and orange indicator lights per control, add
convenience for the operator. All models are equipped with a removable grease tray.
Be advised, on chrome models (PCC), use only wooden utensils or the surface may
be scratched.

INSTALLATION
The SODIR griddle 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 side ventilation panels are not blocked.
Maintain at least 2” clearance at each side and rear of the griddle.

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
o
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.

Cleaning
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning
Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well working machine. Allow the griddle
to cool before cleaning. Using a scraper or a stiff wire brush, except for the chrome (PCC)
model, scrape the debris from the grill plate. To clean the griddle, scrape or brush cooking
debris toward you into the removable grease tray. For chrome (PCC) use only wooden
utensils. Use a cloth dampened slightly with soap and water to clean the stainless steel
housing. The grease tray may be cleaned in a pot sink or dishwasher. Clean the griddle
thoroughly at the end of each day. Failure to do so may cause hard to remove build up. In
order to remove the build up from the grill plate, use industry standard food service grade
degreasers or grease removers. We do not recommend using soap and water to clean the
plate, however, if soap and water are used while cleaning the plate the griddle will need to be
re-seasoned as per the above procedure. Make sure no water enters the unit through
ventilation holes.
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
Maintenance
You should inspect all parts on a regular basis to ensure that all is in proper 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, please consult our
website at http://www.equipex.com/, or call us at 1-800-649-7885 and ask for customer service.
