To load the spit rod
1.To load the spit rod, slide one of the forks with its prongs facing away from the flat end (right side in illustration), onto the spit rod.
2.Push the pointed end of the spit rod through the center of the food; then slide the second fork, with the prongs toward the food, onto the spit rod.
3.Center the food between the locating grooves on the spit rod. Push the forks firmly together. When cooking foods such as multiple chickens, always place the thickest portion of the food nearer the center of the spit rod.
4.Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may
be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s string to secure any loose portions. Never use nylon or plastic string.
5.Once the food is secure, insert the pointed end of the spit rod into the motor and lower the flat end onto the rollers. Place the basting pan beneath the food. It is normal for the spit rod to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.
6.Attach the connecting cord to the receptacle in the motor and to the receptacle in the left front side of the grill.
7.Use the motor switch to turn the rotisserie to High, Medium, Low or Off.
