accessory pages at the end of this manual.
• The US Department of Agriculture recommends the minimum temperature be reached
for the following food items:

HELPFUL HINTS
• If you pre-cook meat or poultry, do so immediately before grilling.
• Never defrost meat at room temperature or on a countertop.
• Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours of taking food off the grill.

• Spit rod and forks can be disassembled and washed in dish soap and warm water.
Note: All metal parts, with exception of the motor, are dishwasher safe.
• After first use, it is likely that the stainless steel adjacent to the burner will darken.
This is a normal property of stainless steel used on the rotisserie.
• Store motor and other parts in a cool, clean and dry place.
• To prevent electrical shock hazard, DO NOT immerse the motor or cord in water.
ROTISSERIE COOKING CONTINUED:
