CARE & USE/INSTALLATION
Rotisserie cook-
ing provides an
even delivery of
heat to your foods.
It has no equal.
The constant rotation not only cooks foods evenly, it also
self bastes. As juices rise to the surface of the food, they
naturally flow around it as it rotates. And, by moving the
burner out from beneath the food, you avoid scorching
flare-ups.
Your foods will be more evenly
cooked, more tender and juicier
when slow-roasted on a rotisserie.
The rotisserie system consists of four main parts, the motor,
the skewer, the forks and the infrared burner.
The Motor
Install the motor by sliding it into one
of the slots shown here. Use the top
slot for small foods or fast cooking
and the lower slot for large foods and
slower cooking.
Plug the motor power cord into the
motor and into the built-in power
outlet on the rear left panel. Your
grill must be plugged into an AC
power supply for the rotisserie to
work.
Place a basting pan in the grill to prevent food
accumulations on the briquettes and burners. But BE SURE
YOU REMOVE IT before using any of the other burners.
The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more
susceptible to strong wind conditions (more so than the
main grill burners).
For this reason it features a safety valve that automatically
closes any time the rotisserie burner is not properly lit …
like if it were to extinguish in windy conditions. During
windy conditions, it’s best to keep the lid closed and to
periodically check the burner.
When the rotisserie is not in use the rotisserie motor should
be stored in a cool dry location.
The Skewer & Forks
The rotisserie can handle large food items up to 50 lbs. You
should prepare any item and first mount it on the skewer.
Swing the warming rack up and out of the way. It will rest in
place.
Then mount the skewer on the grill before lighting the
rotisserie infrared burner. Lighting the burner first could
result in burning your hands while trying to mount the
skewer on the grill.
It’s okay to remove the grill racks and even the briquette
trays to make room for large foods on the skewer.
To load the skewer, slide one of the forks onto the skewer.
Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide
the second fork onto the skewer. Center the food to be
cooked on the skewer then push the forks firmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws (use pliers if necessary). You
should wrap any loose, dangling pieces of food (like wings)
with butcher’s string (never use nylon or plastic string).
With the food secured to the skewer slowly roll the skewer
in the palms of your hands to check for balance. It should
rotate smoothly. If you find it has a heavy side, adjust where
the skewer pierces the meat. An unbalanced skewer will
cause uneven rotation and uneven cooking. It’s normal for
the skewer to flex with large foods.
