OPERATION
Preheating
If humidity is desired, fill the water tray, taking care not to spill water into the unit. To preheat the
display after cleaning and assembly, make sure all glass is in place and closed, flip the power
switch to the ‘on’ position, and rotate the thermostat to the desired heat setting. The heater
and fan will begin to operate. The units require approximately 20 minutes to properly preheat.
Holding
To operate the display after preheating, rotate the thermostat knob clockwise to the desired
heat setting if not already set. If the internal light (and front panel light on ‘L’ models) is
desired, turn the light switch, next to the power switch, to the ‘on’ position.
The SODIR displays can be used for a wide variety of foods. Holding temperature and times
will vary depending on food product temperature and type, desired results and health code
requirements.Food should always be heated to proper holding temperature before placing
into the display.
Cleaning
WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning
Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well working machine. Allow the display
to cool and disconnect it from power before cleaning. If desired, the front and rear glass, wire
shelf and bottom cover may be removed for cleaning using a damp cloth or sponge and mild
liquid soap. Use a cloth dampened slightly with a soap and water mixture to clean all exterior
and interior stainless steel and glass surfaces. Use a clean lint-free cloth to remove the
excess water or soap. Make sure no water enters the unit through ventilation holes. Do not
forget to empty and wash the internal crumb tray accessible through the bottom panel cover
opposite the water tray. This should be replaced with its flat side up against the side wall.
DO NOT
use an abrasive sponge on exterior or interior surfaces
DO NOT wash the display under running water
DO NOT allow water to drip into the motor housing or onto electrical
components
