To assure that an IR burner is lit, very carefully place your hand 8-10 inches away from the burner sur-
face. If you do not feel the heat of the burner, shut off control knob, wait five minutes, and attempt to re-
light.
ROTISSERIE MOTOR:
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 50 Lb. cut of meat or poultry, with a maximum diameter
of 12”. The rotisserie motor is an integral part of the grill, mounted on the rear bottom of the unit. The
motor drives a chain and sprocket system to a skewer coupler located your upper cooking area.
The rotisserie motor is electrically grounded by the grill electrical system and plug, therefore the grill
must installed in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electri-
cal Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
SKEWER:
The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the skewer coupler (located right side of the grill) by plac-
ing the pointed end into the square opening of the coupler. The other end of the skewer (round shaft
end) rests between the rotisserie bearing wheels opposite to the skewer coupler, on the left side of the
grill.
To load the skewer, slide the meat holders with the prongs facing towards the center the skewer bar.
Push the skewer through the center of the food, and then slide the second meat holder (prongs toward
the food) onto the skewer.
Center the product to be cooked on the skewer then push the meat holders firmly together. Tighten the
thumb nuts of the meat holders with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butcher’s
string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure, insert the
skewer into the coupler.
Start the motor with the switch located on the right side of the control panel.
ROTISSERIE BASTING PAN :
Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill includes a basting pan for use with the rotisserie. Place the pan onto
the grill racks (or, if necessary, directly onto the briquettes if the grill racks are removed to accommodate
large cuts of meat). This pan will catch drippings from the meat being cooked, preventing grease build-
up on the briquettes or Sear-Zone™ IR Burner.
NOTE: Never use the basting pan when any of the grill burners are lit. Basting pan is for use
with the rotisserie burner only.
ROTISSERIE GENERAL COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
As a general rule, rotisserie cooking will take 15 ~ 20
minutes per pound of meat. Keep the hood closed as
much as possible to improve performance.
NOTICE
ALWAYS USE BASTING PAN WITH
ROTISSERIE TO KEEP DRIPPINGS
OFF BURNERS AND BRIQUETTES.
DO NOT USE WHILE GRILLING.
