OPERATION
Initial
Set
-
up
The grill is shipped with an application of machine oil on the upper and lower grill plates. This oil
will need to be remov
ed
prior to the seasoning process using
a mild soap and water solution.
Before operating your
SODIR
Panini grill, we recommend that you season the surface of the grill
plates with cooking oil or shortening. For seasoning, wipe cooking oil or shortening ont
o
the upper
and
l
ower grill plates using a clean, lint
-
free cloth, or coat the plates with cooking oil
spray. Turn the
grill on with
the
ON/OFF switch(s) and set the thermostat(s)
to
400
o
F. When
the
grill reaches
the
set
temperature,
the red indicator lig
ht
will go
out
.
A
llow the grill to season for 10
-
15
minutes and
then let the grill cool.
It is normal for s
ome smoke
to
appear during this process. Wipe off the
excess oil using a
cl
ean, lint
-
free cloth. Repeat seasoning process at least one more time.
Con
gratulations
,
your
grill is
now ready for use!

Preheating
After the grill plates have been properly seasoned, turn the grill on using
the
ON/OFF switch(s)
(the green light(s) will
go on
) and turn the temperature control knob(s) to the desired
temperature.
The red light(s)
will
go on and
stay on until
the desired temperature
is
reached.
The red light(s) will then go out
.
The preheat time will vary depending
on the cooking
temperature settings and the
electrical specifications of your model. It
will
normally
take 10
-
15
minutes for
your
grill to reach cooking temperature.
After reaching
the set temperature, the red light(s) will cycle on and off as the thermostat cycles, to
maintain temperature. The green light(s) remain on until the unit is shut off with the
power switch.

CLEANING
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply befo

Allow the grill to cool before cleaning. Using the scraper provided or
a

spring protection cover
and the drip tray. Clean the grill thoroughly at the end of each day.
Failure to do so may cause
hard to rem

from the
grill plates, use industry
standard food service grade degreasers or grease removers. We do not
recommend using soap
and water to clean the grill plates, however, if soap and water are
used,
the grill
will need to be re

or
around the electri

RESEASONING
It may be necessary to re

season the grill after extended use
and
cleaning
. In order to do so,
clean
both plates of the grill with a clean, lint
-
free cloth and scraper. Apply cooking oil or
shortening
onto both plates with a lint
-
free cloth or coat the plates with a cooking oil spray.
Wipe off excess
oil with a dry, clean cloth. Turn the grill on and set the thermostat to
400 F. Some smoking may
occur during the re
-
seasoning process. When the
grill reaches the
desired temperature (the red light
will go out), turn the grill off and allow it to cool. Wipe off
the excess oil from the surface of the
plates. Repeat the re
-
seasoning process one more time.
The
grill is now re
-
seasoned and ready to
