OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL USE OF THE GRILL AND ROTISSERIE
Each main burner is rated at 13,000 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. When grilling, take into consideration the meat
involved and desired preparation. Large pieces of meat or
poultry may need to be cooked at 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 sugar-based
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 placed.
2. Remove any remaining packing materials.
3. Light the grill burners using the instructions on page
16.
4. Turn the control knob(s) to the “IGNITE / HI” setting,
and preheat the grill for 15 minutes. The grill lid
should be closed during the pre-heat period.
5. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired
preparation. If necessary, adjust the heat setting.
The control knob may be positioned at any setting
between “HI” and “LO”.
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 16. Once lit, the rotisserie burner will
reach cooking temperature in about 1 minute.
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 12 lb.
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.
After its first use, the stainless steel adjacent to the
rotisserie burner will most likely turn dark blue. This is a
normal property of the non-rusting type stainless steel
used on the grill.
WARNING
The rotisserie motor is equipped with a plug and should
be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1. 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 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.
LOADING THE ROTISSERIE SKEWER
1. Screw the bushing onto the skewer rod at the
opposite end from the point.
2. Slide and tighten the counter balance apparatus onto
the skewer rod approximately 2 to 4 inches from the
bushing.
3. Slide the first meat fork onto the skewer rod prongs
toward the food.
4. Center the product to be cooked on the skewer, and
then push the meat forks firmly together.
5. Tighten the wing nuts.
6. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with
butcher’s string to secure loose portions. Never use
nylon or plastic string to wrap the food.
7. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the
motor.
NOTE
It is normal for the skewer to flex when larger cuts of
meat are being cooked.
If the meat scrapes on the cooking grids during any part
of the rotation, the cooking grids must be removed. Test
this clearance before lighting the grill as the cooking grids
become hot when the grill is lit.
Adjust the counter balance weight to balance the heavier
side of the meat and avoid lopsided rotation of the
rotisserie motor.
CAUTION
When using the rotisserie burner, remove the warming
rack. High heat from the burner may cause the warming
rack to bend.
