® D E L I V E RY C O D E S & S TA N DA R D S Upon receipt of the Alto-Shaam gas rotisserie, check the exterior of the shipping crate for any physical damage that could result in damage to the contents. If the rotisserie was not received from the carrier in an upright position, there is a strong possibility of concealed damage. Immediately report any possible shipping damage to the delivering carrier. See Transportation Damage and Claims section located in this manual.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS A I R S U P P LY Installation of this rotisserie must include a provision for an adequate flow of fresh air for gas combustion. This requirement must be observed by the installer as well as the operator. The bottom of the rotisserie provides air supply access for gas combustion and must be kept clear at all times.
GAS CONNECTIONS The installation of this rotisserie must be completed by a qualified installer familiar with the local codes and regulations governing the installation of commercial gas appliances. The installation must be made in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition). In Canada, the appropriate code is the Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1 or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2.
IGNITION SYSTEM GAS CONNECTIONS LEAK TESTING If a pressure leak test above 1/2 psi is to be conducted on the building supply gas piping, the shutoff gas valve and rotisserie inlet gas supply line must be disconnected from the building supply piping before conducting the pressure test. Failure to do so may result in damage to the manual gas valve and/or gas components in the rotisserie.
BURNER LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Verify rotisserie connection to the correct gas source. Refer to the data plate located on the back of the unit. 4-seconds, turn valve to the OFF position. Open the doors to allow the gas to dissipate and repeat the ignition process. NOTE: Use soap and water solution to check all fittings for leaks. Brush solution on all joints and where any leakage is suspected. If bubbles appear, re-tighten the fitting and recheck. If bubbles persist, replace fitting or component.
P R E PA R AT I O N CONTROLS DOOR LOCK The MAIN POWER switch is located on the left side of the control panel. When this switch is in the ON position, the indicator lights located at the top of the rotisserie will illuminate. This switch is also equipped with a reset circuit breaker for safety purposes.

P R E PA R AT I O N PRODUCT PREPARATION For a more flavorful product, season the inside of each chicken prior to cooking. Operators may also want to consider the use of a marinade or the purchase of pre-marinated chickens. For best results, truss each bird prior to inserting on the spit. To produce a more roasted appearance and additional flaming, the skin of each chicken can be pricked prior to insertion on the skewer.
COOKING PREHEAT AT FULL FLAME FOR A MINIMUM OF 20 MINUTES BEFORE LOADING PREPARED SPITS. TO FACILITATE CLEANUP, POUR WATER INTO THE DRIP PAN IN SUFFICIENT AMOUNT TO COVER THE BOTTOM OF THE PAN. MAINTAIN THE WATER LEVEL THROUGHOUT THE COOKING PROCESS. COOK TIME Estimate 60 to 75 minutes of cooking time for 3 to 3 -1/2 pound (1,3 to 1,6 kg) birds and 50 to 60 minutes cook time for 2 -1/2 lb. (1,2 kg) birds.
MAINTENANCE CLEANING The cleanliness and appearance of this equipment will contribute considerably to operating efficiency and savory, appetizing food.
