To load the skewer
1.To load the skewer begin with the handle in place and slide one of the meat holders, with the prongs facing away from the handle, onto the skewer.
2.Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide the second meat holder with the prongs toward the food, onto the skewer.
3.Center the food on the skewer. Push the meat holders firmly together. (Some models have grooves on the skewer to indicate the burner position. Use them to position the meat holders.) When cooking foods such as multiple chickens, always place the thickest portion of the food nearer the center of the skewer.
4.Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s string to secure any loose portions. Never use nylon or plastic string.
5.Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the motor. If needed, remove the grill racks. Place the basting pan beneath the food. It is normal for the skewer to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.
To light the rotisserie burner
Open the lid. Push the control knob to the LITE position.
Press the safety valve button, hold in, and begin turning the rotary ignitor button located next to the control knob. It may be necessary to turn the ignitor knob several times until the burner lights. You will hear a snapping sound. At the same time, a spark will be provided at the safety probe. Once the burner ignites, hold the safety valve button in for about 10 seconds or until the burner remains lit.
This is the only burner on the grill with a safety valve. Once lit, turn the control knob to the desired setting.
If the burner does not light within 4 seconds, release the safety valve button and turn the control knob to OFF.
If the ignitor does not function, the burner can be lit by holding a lit match to the burner (with the control knob at LITE and the safety valve button pressed).
Wait 5 minutes before relighting a hot rotisserie burner.
NOTE: The location of the rotisserie burner makes it susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid utilizing the rotisserie burner during windy conditions. As an added precaution we’ve equipped the burner with an automatic safety valve which will not allow gas to flow to the rotisserie burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on:
1.The safety valve button is pressed.
2.The safety probe is sufficiently heated to open the valve.
