Basic Grill Operation

Before lighting, make sure all burner controls are off.  
Do not attempt to light the burners if the smell of gas is 
present. Check the connection with a soap and water 
solution after attaching the hose.  For LP units, make 
sure there is gas in the tank and it is sitting upright. For 
natural gas units, make sure the shut off valve is on.

Make sure the drip tray is in place.

Light the grill burners using the instructions on the 
previous page.

Turn the control knob to HIGH and preheat the 
grill for 15 minutes.  Close the top cover during the 
appliance preheat period.

Place the food on the grill and cook to desired 

completion. Adjust heat setting if necessary.  You 

may set the control knob to any position between 
HIGH and LOW.

Allow the grill to cool and clean the drip tray after 
each use.

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.

Cooking with the Rotisserie 

The rotisserie burner is an infrared type, which provides 
intense searing radiant heat. It is designed to cook 
items from the back using infrared heat.  The location 
of the burner allows the placement of a rotisserie-
basting pan (NOT included) beneath the food to collect 

juices and drippings for basting and gravy.
The rotisserie does not require and additional outlet 

as it is powered by a 12-volt input located on the side 
of the grill connected with a sainless steel sheathed 
power cable.

To load the rotisserie rod, hold the handle firmly 

while sliding one of the fork assemblies (prongs 
facing away  from the handle) onto the rod.  Push 
the rod through the center of the food, then slide 
the other holder (prongs toward the food) onto 
the rod.  Center the meat on the rod and push 

the fork assemblies firmly together. Tighten the 

thumbscrews.  To secure any loose portions of 
your meat, use butcher string (never use nylon or 
plastic string).  Place a basting pan under the food 
to collect the drippings.

1.

To use the rotisserie, first mount the motor on the 

left side of the grill. Place securely onto support 
bracket.

The rod of the rotisserie system is assembled into 
the motor by placing the pointed end into the motor 
and resting the threaded end on the support at the 
side of the grill.  Once the rod is pushed as far as 
possible into the motor, the grooved end of the rod 
should rest on the right side bracket.

If necessary, to offset unbalanced loads, slide the 
counter weight on to the rod. With the counter 
weight loose, allow the loaded rod to rotate and 
come to a stop. Now rotate the counter weight 
above the rod in a vertical position and tighten 
the thumbscrew. You can slide the counter weight 
away from or closer to the rotisserie rod as needed 
for balanced operation. Once lit, the rotisserie 
burner will reach cooking temperature in about one 
minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 

five minutes.
