NORMAL OPERATION

Outdoor extension cords should be marked with the letters “W-A” and a tag stating “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances”. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the rotisserie motor power cord or use an adapter of 2 prongs.

Do not let cord hang over any sharp edge or hot surface. Do not expose to rain.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.

A short power cord is supplied to reduce the risk of tripping over the cord. Extension cords may be used, but caution must be taken to prevent tripping over the cord.

In absence of local codes the rotisserie motor must be grounded electrically in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

WARNING: When cooking with the rotisserie, use only the two outside main burners to enhance the cooking process. Set the burners to Medium or Low.

WARNING: Do not use the main burners on high when using the rotisserie. Failure to follow this warning will lead to an overheating condition which could damage grill components and cause bodily harm.

WARNING: Set up the rotisserie with food before lighting Rotisserie Burner.

OPERATING THE ROTISSERIE

1)Push the rotisserie shaft through the center of the food.

2)Slide the right side spit fork back onto the shaft. Insert the tines of both spit forks into the food. The food should be centered on the shaft. Tighten spit fork thumb screws.

3)Place left side bearing of rotisserie into cookbox slot (A).

4)Insert right end of spit into motor housing and slide motor onto mounting bracket. Make sure that right side bearing lines up with cookbox slot (B).

5)The rotisserie shaft should rotate so that the heavy side of the meat or poultry rotates down to the bottom. Large cuts of meat may require the removal of the cooking grates to allow full rotation of the spit rod.

6)Plug the motor in and turn it on.

7)Follow Lighting Instructions.

COOKING WITH THE ROTISSERIE

•When using the rotisserie, the lid must be closed except when basting.

•Meats (except poultry and ground meat) should be brought to room temperature before cooking. (20 to 30 minutes should be adequate for most foods. If frozen defrost completely before cooking.)

•Tie meat or poultry with a string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the spit.

•Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow food to turn freely.

•Follow Lighting Instructions for Rotisserie Burner under ‘Rotisserie Burner Electronic Ignition’.

•Set Rotisserie Burner on “MED-HI” based on outside air temperatures.

•Place food within area of burner.

•If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip pan directly under the food on top of the heat distribution plates.

•Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for regular cooking.
