GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL AND ROTISSERIE

Each main burner is rated at 12,000 BTU/Hr. The 
main grill burners encompass the entire cooking 
area and are side ported to minimize blockage from 
falling grease and debris. Above the burners are 
stainless steel flame tamers. The igniter knobs are 
located on the lower center portion of the valve 
panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the control 
panel. 

 
USING THE GRILL 

Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper 
browning. Most foods are cooked at a “HI” heat 
setting for their entire cooking time. However, when 
grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be 
necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after 
the initial browning. This method cooks the food 
thoroughly without burning the outside.  
 
Food cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary 
marinade may need a lower heat setting near the 
end of its cooking time. 
 
To begin: 
1.  Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is 

properly located. 

 
2.  Remove remaining packing materials. 
 
3.  Light the grill burners using the instructions on 

page 18. 

 
4.  Turn the control knob(s) to “HI” setting and 

preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid is to 
be closed during the appliance preheat period. 

 
5.  Place the food on the grill and cook to the 

desired doneness. If necessary, adjust the heat 
setting. The control knob may be set to any 
position between “HI” and “LO”. 

 

 

The grill is designed to grill efficiently without the 
use of lava rocks or briquettes of any kind. Heat is 
radiated by the stainless steel flame tamers 
positioned above each burner. 

 
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER 

Your grill is capable of performing back burner 
rotisserie cooking.  
 
Light the rear burner as described in the lighting 
instructions on page 18. Once lit, the rotisserie 
burner will reach cooking temperature in about 1 
minute. 
 
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 
12lb. cut of meat or poultry. The motor slides onto 
the stainless steel motor mount.  
 
The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded 
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of 
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, 
ANSI/NFPA 70. 
 

 

WARNING

 

The rotisserie motor is equipped with a plug and 
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 
receptacle.  
 
Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this 
plug.  
 
Keep the rotisserie motor cord away from the 
heated surfaces of the grill.  When not in use 
remove and store the motor in a dry location.  

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

THE ROTISSERIE SKEWER 

The skewer for the rotisserie should be 
assembled into the motor assembly by placing 
the pointed end into the motor, and then sliding 
the grooved bushing into the slot at the opposite 
side of the grill.  
 
The thumbscrew for the grooved bushing should 
be inside the grill body.  

 

CAUTION 

Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
