INTRODUCTION

The SODIR Model RBE-25 rotisserie is designed to offer quality food roasting. The pass-through completely panoramic unit is constructed of food service quality stainless steel and tinted tempered

(safety) glass and is equipped with two top-mounted infrared quartz heating elements and two doormounted sheathed heating elements. Model RBE-25 comes equipped with a rotating carousel that accommodates five roasting baskets or five double roasting spits that will hold up to 25 standard size chickens. The unit is furnished with an ON/OFF switch, a rotary switch that allows choosing between three operating modes, and a 120-minute timer. The rotisserie is thermostatically controlled up to 400 F and features an easy to read temperature indicator. Three red indicator lights let operator know when the heating elements or/and gear motor are on. The unit is equipped with a lamp located in the top part of the cabinet for better display of the roasting product.

INSTALLATION

The SODIR Model RBE-25 rotisserie needs to be directly wired to a grounded junction box of proper voltage (208/240 V, 3 PH). DO NOT place the unit in a damp area or near steam sources. Make sure that side ventilation panels are not blocked. Maintain at least 4" clearance at each side.

PREPARATION

The rotating carousel holds five roasting baskets or five double chicken spits. Make sure that all roasting baskets are properly mounted and secured with the hook side of the basket over the pins located on the sides of the carousel. If operator decides to use double chicken spits instead, the baskets should be removed and the spits can be mounted on to the carousel through the holes in the wheel-shaped sides of the carousel.

Before operating, it is necessary to add water to the removable bottom drip tray. This must be done to prevent the product drippings and grease from smoking and possibly catching fire. It also makes the cleanup much easier. To put water into the bottom drip tray, open both glass doors from one side of the unit and then pull the hinged stainless steel door out. The drip tray can now be removed for adding water or cleaning. Maintain between 3/8 to Vi inch of water in the tray at all times.

CAUTION: when loading on products, keep the baskets counterbalanced

After arranging the product in the baskets, close hinged stainless steel doors and the glass doors of Model RBE-25. Now the rotisserie is ready for operation.

COOKING

Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Select Position # 3 on the operating mode rotary switch (the carousel will rotate and both top-mounted and door-mounted elements will be on). Turn the regulating thermostat knob clockwise to select the desired temperature inside the rotisserie.

Select one of the temperature settings between 1 and 10, taking into account a recommended temperature of approximately 340 F. Set the timer to the desired amount of time by turning the timer knob clockwise. The heating elements begin to heat once the cooking time is selected. In that case all three red indicator light will be lit.

The SODIR Model RBE-25 rotisserie can be used for a wide variety of foods. Cooking times will vary depending on food products, temperature settings and desired results. For a full load of the standard-size chickens, allow approximately 90-105 minutes for roasting.

Note: ready-made dishes and choice cuts may be cooked when using a long flat insert in the basket or when covering the product with aluminum foil. For roasting the whole rack of lamb, use a special heavy-duty lamb spit available upon request

Upon completion of cooking/roasting, turn the rotary switch knobs to the OFF position (if you want to unload the baskets or spits) or to the GEAR MOTOR ROTATES position (if you want to hold the product for a short period of time). Turn the thermostat knob counter-clockwise to position

"0" Return the timer to position "0". We recommend letting the product cool slightly before handling it. After some cooling has taken place, the product may be removed. To turn the rotisserie

OFF completely, turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.

CLEANING

WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning

CAUTION: Allow the glass doors to cool before cleaning. Do not spray hot glass with cold liquid

CAUTION: Do not spray hot heating elements with any liquid

Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well working rotisserie. Allow the unit to cool before cleaning. The bottom drip tray, the carousel, the baskets and the spits are removable for cleaning. Upon removing, clean them separately using a damp cloth or sponge and mild cleaning liquid soap. If needed, use scouring pad on the carousel, the spits and the baskets, and wash them in a pot sink. The exterior and interior of the housing should be cleaned with a cloth dampened lightly with a soap and water mixture. Use a clean lint-free cloth to remove the excess water or soap.

DO NOT spray the housing with any liquid

DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing around the electrical components

DO NOT wash oven under running water

DO NOT use an abrasive sponge on exterior or interior surfaces

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-
