Equipex SODIR FC-60, Operation Manual

OPERATION 

PREHEATING 

To preheat the convection oven, select temperature by rotating the thermostat 

knob clockwise to desired temperature setting and then turn the timer knob that 
also acts as an ON/OFF switch clockwise to the maximum setting (120 minutes) 

or set timer at continuous position marked by a hand icon on the timer dial. Both 
indicator lights (green and red) will be lit. The red light will stay on until the oven 

reaches the desired temperature. The green light will stay on until the timer 

reaches the indicated time setting. Allow up to 18 minutes for the preheating 
process. 

COOKING 

After the preheating process is completed, select the desired cooking or baking 

temperature (unless it is already set) and turn the timer knob clockwise to select 
the time setting. The red light will stay on until the oven reaches the desired 

temperature. When the set time is elapsed, the heating element and the blower 
fan will be switched off and the green indicator light will go out. At the end of 

the cooking cycle, the timer produces repetitive buzzing signal until it is 
depressed.  

The timer can be used in continuous mode. To do so, turn the timer 
counterclockwise from the 0 position (continuous mode position is depicted by a 

special hand-like marking on the timer dial). 
 

The SODIR convection ovens can be used for a wide variety of foods. Cooking 

times will vary depending on food products, temperature settings and desired 
results. 

COOLING DOWN 

 
To cool the oven down, turn the regulating thermostat knob counterclockwise to 

any position between 0 and the first temperature position marked 200 F. Turn 

the timer knob to select the appropriate time setting or to continuous mode. It is 
not necessary to keep the door partially open to operate the oven in its “cool 

down” mode.
