GRILLING TO PROPER TEMPERATURE:

Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature.
You may order a Commercial-quality thermometer from Brinkmann. For more
information on this product and other Brinkmann accessories, please refer to the
accessory pages at the end of this manual.
The US Department of Agriculture recommends the minimum temperature be reached
for the following food items:
Pork ---------- 160oF
Poultry ------- 180oF
Roasts ------- 145oF

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.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:

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.
