Installation, Operation and Care of HGFR GAS-FLAMED ROTISSERIE OVEN SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL The model HGFR Series Gas-Flamed Rotisserie Oven features stainless steel interior and exterior for ease of cleaning. Infrared ceramic gas burners efficiently roast the product. The rotisserie rotates the product on spits as it revolves around the rotisserie oven. The product roasts evenly and self-bastes throughout the cooking process.
INSTALLATION Prior to installation, verify that the electrical service and gas supply (natural or propane) agree with the specifications on the machine data plate located on the right side of the rotisserie oven. LOCATION WARNING: THE ROTISSERIE OVEN SHOULD NOT BE ACCESSIBLE TO THE CUSTOMER; HOT GLASS AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustibles. Maintain clearances from combustible and noncombustible construction of 3" (7.6 cm) at the sides and rear.
