Using the Rotisserie — 8200 Series
NOTE: Your 8200 Series grill is set up from the factory with a Back Infrared Burner. An optional
ROTISSERIE KIT to use with the back infrared burner must be purchased separately.
The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.
CAUTION
Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.
NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be necessary to remove the grates and heat tents when cooking larger portions of meat on the rotisserie. This is by design, since this configuration gives you the most possible room above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5 minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 20 lbs. of food. The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of the grill. Make sure the rotisserie motor is completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie cord is away from any
hot surfaces.
