Using the Rotisserie
WARNINGS:
Read all instructions before using your rotisserie. This rotisserie is for outdoor use only.
Remove motor and store in a dry place when not in use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use barbecue mitts.
This rotisserie is not for use by children.
To protect against electrical hazards do not immerse cord, plugs, or motor in water or other liquids.
Unplug the motor from outlet when not in use or before cleaning.
Do not use rotisserie for other than intended use. Make sure motor is OFF before placing it on the motor bracket.
Do not operate the rotisserie motor with a damaged cord or plug.
Do not operate the rotisserie motor if it should malfunction. The rotisserie motor is equipped with a three prong (ground- ing) power cord for your protection against shock hazard.
The power cord should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three prong receptacle. If use of an extension cord is required, be sure that it is a minimum 16 AWG, 3 wire well insulated cord, marked for outdoor use only and properly grounded.
When using an extension cord, make sure it is not in contact with a hot or sharp surface.
Outdoor extension cords should be marked with the letters
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from the rotis- serie motor power cord.
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 Elec- trical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.

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 pos- sible 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 Lighting Your Grill sec- tion.
•Set Rotisserie Burner on
•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.
NOTE: When using the Rotisserie Burner, grill thermometer will not reflect the temperature inside the cooking box.
