INTRODUCTION

The SODIR countertop smokers — Models FM-2 and FM-3 — are designed to offer quality smoking of fish, meat and cheese. The units arc constructed of food service quality stainless steel. The smoker is equipped with a removable sheathed heating element and a timer with an integrated ON/OFF feature. The unit comes with an attached drawer for sawdust and chips and one (Model FM-2) or two (Model FM-3) smoking wire racks.

Specification

INSTALLATION

The SODIR countertop smokers need to be connected to a grounded outlet of proper voltage (120V, 1PH). DO NOT place the unit in a damp area or near steam sources. Make sure that the sides of the smoker are not blocked.

OPERATION

Initial Set-Up
For shipping purposes, the cover handle has been mounted on the inside of the cover. Remove two mounting screws and attach the handle to the cover on its outer side. Clean the unit using a clean cloth slightly dampened in a water and soap mixture. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to remove the excess water or soap.

Smoking
Place the heating element in to the attached sawdust drawer through the opening located on the side of the latter. Make sure that the perforated shelf is placed inside the drawer and over the heating element, and is secure in place. Place the sawdust on the perforated shelf making a slight slope as shown below.

Note: Make sure that the ventilation holes on the front of the sawdust drawer and the sides of the cover are not blocked
Place the product on to the smoking wire rack and put the cover on top of the unit’s base. Set the timer at 9 minutes by turning its knob. The sawdust will sift through the perforation of the drawer shelf on to the heating element. At the beginning, leave the lid of the sawdust drawer partially open, if necessary. Once the heating element reaches the desired temperature, close the lid to reduce the draft. If needed to stir up the embers, increase the draft. When the drawer is filled with sawdust as described above, the smoke will be produced for approximately three hours. To achieve the best results, use beech or hickory sawdust and increase the product’s surface exposed to smoke by slicing it either through or partially.
The SODER smokers can be used for a wide variety of foods. Smoking times will vary depending on food products, temperature settings and desired results.

When the smoking process is finished, turn the timer knob to the OFF position. Allow the smoker to cool to a safe handling temperature. Remove the unit’s cover to access the product.

CLEANING

WARNING: Disconnect (unplug) electrical power supply before cleaning Cleaning is very important in maintaining a safe and well working machine. Allow the oven to cool before cleaning. Remove the cover and the smoking rack(s), and clean them separately. They are dishwasher safe. Remove the heating element and clean it separately using a slightly dampened cloth. Use a cloth dampened in a water and soap mixture to clean all interior and exterior stainless steel surfaces. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to remove the excess of water and soap.
DO NOT spray the housing with any liquid
DO NOT wash the unit under running water
DO NOT allow water to drip into the housing around the electrical components
DO NOT spray hot elements with any liquid

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.
