J&R MANUFACTURING ROTISSERIE, Operation And Service Manual

Page: 11 / 60

STARTING TO COOK
Before starting to cook it is necessary to turn on either the gas control knob (for
standing pilots) or a switch where spark ignition is used.
The infrared heaters should all come on when the gas control knob is turned on.
Visually verify that all the infrared burners are burning. If not, turn the gas control
knob or the switch off. Wait 5 minutes before turning the gas back on. Verify that all
the infrared burners are burning before proceeding to cook.
WARNING: Do not use the rotisserie unless all the infrared burners are operational.
END OF THE DAY CLEANUP
At the end of the day the unit should be cleaned to remove all grease. Where
applicable this work is expedited by draining the water from the unit and cleaning
with a commercial degreaser.
If grease is allowed to build up in the unit a grease fire may occur.
Wipe or wash down the upper works of the unit as needed and at the end of the day.
However, care must be taken not to splash water or any fluid on the infrareds. They
may still be hot and this could cause a burner face to crack.
The exhaust hood should operate at all times when the burners are in use or when
wood is burning or smoldering. Ashes should be removed from the ash drawers.
Remove the wood ashes from the unit. Place wood and coals into a tightly sealed
metal container, which is stored in a safe location away from combustibles. Do not
dump ashes into a dumpster until you are sure that no embers remain (sometimes
they can remain live for several days).
