OPERATION
INITIAL SET-UP
The griddle is shipped with an application of machine oil on the cast iron plate. This oil 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. 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. Turn the griddle on
with ON/OF switch(s) and set the thermostat(s) at 300-400 F. When
