Using the Rotisserie — 8300 Series
The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an
infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense
heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5 minutes.
The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 20 lbs. of food. The motor is mounted on a
bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of the grill. Make sure
the rotisserie motor is completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie cord is away from any
hot surfaces.
CAUTION
Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.
NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be necessary to remove the
grates and heat tents when cooking larger portions of meat on the rotisserie. This is by design, since this configuration
gives you the most possible room above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.
WARNING
Electrical Grounding Instructions
This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug for your protection against
shock hazard. It should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or
remove the grounding prong from this plug.
ATTACHING THE ROTISSERIE
(purchased separately)
* For bracket installation, see instruction sheet provided
with the optional rotisserie kit.
The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill
by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord
facing the back of the grill.
With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into an
electrical outlet, it is now ready to operate. Slide one of the
meat forks onto the rod (prongs facing away from the handle).
Push the rod through the center of the food, then slide the
second meat fork onto the rod (prongs toward the food).
Center the food to be cooked on the rod, then push the meat
forks firmly together. Tighten the thumb screws. It may also be
necessary to wrap food with butcher’s string, (never use nylon
or plastic string) to secure the loose portions.
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 (Fig. 37). If
needed, remove the cooking grates for more room. Turn the
power switch to the “On” position to start the rotisserie motor.

1. Check that the cylinder valve is closed by turning the cylinder
knob clockwise to a full stop.
2. Check that all the grill burner knobs are in the off position.
3. Remove the protective caps from the cylinder valve and coupling
nut. NOTE: The coupling nut connects to the large outside
threads on the valve outlet.
4. Hold the regulator in one hand and insert the nipple into the
valve outlet. Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve outlet.
Hand-tighten the coupling nut, taking care not to cross-thread
the connection (see Fig. 27).
5. Turn the coupling nut clockwise, tighten to a full stop.
If you cannot complete the final connection, disconnect the
regulator and repeat steps 4 through 6. If you are still unable to
complete the connection, DO NOT use this valve and regulator!
6. Check that the hose has no kinks or sharp bends and clears
areas that will become hot during use. Never put strain on the
hose where it joins a fitting.
7.
BEFORE
lighting grill, check all connections for leaks using the
procedure as shown in the section titled “LEAK TESTING”.
WARNING
This procedure MUST be performed OUTDOORS only! Be
sure the L.P. cylinder valve is closed. Attach to the grill. Read
and follow the directions on the cylinder and fuel hose
safety tags.
CAUTION
In the connection process, the grill side of the connection
will seal on the back-check in the valve, resulting in a slight
resistance. The connection requires about one-half to
three-quarters additional turn to complete the connection.
To disconnect, turn counterclockwise. Tighten by hand only.
DO NOT use tools.
