Skewer(s) Falls Out of Position during Normal Operation
If a properly inserted skewer falls out during a cooking cycle, this may indicate that the drive plates have
deformed slightly.
Solution
1. Ensure that the oven cavity of the rotisserie is cool to the
touch.
2. Remove the drive assembly from the oven cavity (for
convenience, this procedure can also be done with the
drive assembly installed in place).
3. Install an empty skewer into one of the hole locations and
slide it to the left until the shoulder of the skewer is butted
against the left side of the support plate (Figure 7-1).
4. Observe if the indicated portion of the skewer extends a
minimum of 3/16” (5 mm) beyond the drive plate
(Figure 7-2).
5. If the measurement is less than this minimum, manually
bend the plate until the 3/16” (5 mm) dimension is met
(Figure 7-3).
6. Proceed to check all positions in this manner (use the green
manual advance switch to advance to the next hole location
if the drive assembly has not been removed from the
rotisserie).
Any manual bending of the plate may have affected
the dimensions of other hole locations. Please
recheck the 3/16” (5 mm) requirement at all hole
locations if bending was performed.
7. If it was removed, reinstall the drive assembly to finish the
procedure.
