IMPORTANT:
If your grill is equipped with a rotisserie burner, only that burner should be used for cooking when the rotisserie is
mounted and in operation. The main burners on the grill must be turned to the
off
position when the rotisserie burner is in use.
IMPORTANT:
Do not use the rotisserie burner and the main burner at the same time while rotisserie is in use. Do not use side burners
when the rotisserie is in use to prevent burns.
1.
Slide one of the meat prongs onto the rod (prongs toward the food). Center the food on the rod, followed by the other meat
prongs. Then push the meat forks firmly together. Tighten the thumbscrews. It may also be necessary to wrap food with
butcher’s string, (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure loose portions.
2.
Once the food is secure, insert the pointed end of the rotisserie rod into the motor assembly and rest the other end on the
support on the right-hand side of the grill.
3.
Check for clearance with the cooking grates. The grates can be removed if additional clearance is required. IMPORTANT: If
grates are removed, make sure food is not touching the burner(s).
4.
Place a shallow drip pan underneath the food to catch drippings and make for easier cleanup.
5.
Plug the unit into an electrical outlet. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position to start the rotisserie motor. To begin, turn
burners onto the lowest setting.
6.
Check for constant speed of the rotisserie rod. If the rod does not turn at a constant speed, reposition the food on the forks and
adjust the weight so it is balanced on the rod. An unbalanced rotisserie rod will damage the motor.
7.
Check food frequently and adjust burner temperature based on observations. This will require some experimentation as each
grill has different heating and cooking characteristics.
Operation Instructions for rotisserie use without a rotisserie burner:
NOTE
: Do not attempt to use rotisserie on a two (2) burner grill because of insufficient heat from a single burner and difficulty in
balancing the rotisserie rod.
Follow steps as outlined above except do not use the main burners directly below the food on the rotisserie rod. Using these
burners will burn the food and may cause dangerous flare ups.
Operation Instructions for Indirect Cooking:
Indirect cooking can be used for many different kinds of foods, especially when the food may contain a lot of fat or have an oil-based
marinade that may cause flare ups. Delicate foods that cannot withstand direct heat are also good choices, particularly vegetables. Do
not attempt to use indirect cooking methods on a grill with fewer than 2 burners.
1.
Place food on the cooking grate or in a wire basket on the grill. The food can either be placed in the center on the grates (using
the burners on either side) or the food can be placed on one side of the grill and the burner on the opposite side would be used.
2.
Check the food frequently and adjust the temperature based on observations. This will require some experimentation as each
grill has different heating and cooking characteristics.
ROTISSERIE TROUBLESHOOTING
If the rod is not rotating at a constant speed, reposition the meat on the forks and rod to adjust the weight so that it is balanced. You
may also balance the rod by adjusting the counterweight.
Care and Maintenance
IMPORTANT
Always allow to completely cool off before covering your grill to prevent corrosion from condensation.
Caution:
All cleaning and maintenance should be done when the grill is cool, with the fuel supply turned off at the control dial
and the propane cylinder disconnected. DO NOT clean any grill part in a self-cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the
finish.
Cleaning
Burning off the grill after every use (approx. 15 minutes) will keep excessive food residue from building up.
