OPERATING THE ROTISSERIE
1.
Install the rotisserie motor onto the mounting bracket.
2.
Slide the counterweight on the spit rod between 2 washers next to the handle, followed by the bushing.
Then slide one meat fork on with the tongs pointing towards the tip of the spit. See Step 5 in the
Assembly Instructions.
3.
Skewer the meat onto the spit rod, and slide to the center. You want to balance the weight as evenly as
possible.
4.
Slide on the second meat fork with the prongs facing the meat.
5.
Center the meat and slide both meat forks into the meat. Tighten the setscrews on the forks.
6.
Check the balance of the food on the spit by rotating it loosely in your hands. The spit rod should rotate
evenly with little effort. Adjust the food on the spit to balance as necessary.
7.
Place the spit into the motor and support bracket. Be sure the bushing rests on the support bracket. Note
that you will need to remove the warming rack and possibly the grates depending on the size of the food
you are cooking.
8.
Plug in the rotisserie motor, and turn “On”. Ensure the spit is rotating freely and evenly. Adjust the
meat and counterweight as necessary. Turn “Off” once balanced.
9.
Place a pan under the food to catch the drippings from rotisserie cooking. Do not allow the drippings to
fall down into the firebox. Again, it may be necessary to remove the cooking grates.
10.
Open the hood and light the back burner following the instructions earlier in this Grill Guide.
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE MAIN BURNERS WHEN USING THE BACK BURNER.
11.
Close the hood and adjust the burner control knob for the back burner to the setting you prefer.
12.
Turn the motor “Off” when opening the hood to inspect the meat or when done before removing the spit.
HELPFUL HINT
Erratic noises from the motor are a signal of what could be an unbalanced spit rod. This could cause severe
damage to the motor and gears. Follow the instructions above to better balance your spit.
USING THE SMOKER DRAWER
Smoking gives food a distinctive, delicious flavor. You will find a variety of wood chips or pellets available for
use in smoking grilled foods. Start your grill and allow it to reach the desired cooking temperature for the food
you are grilling. Wear an insulated cooking mitt and pull the Smoker Drawer out of the grill and fill with your
prepared smoking chips. Dried herbs and spices may also be added to produce different flavors. Return the
Smoker Box to the grill and the heat will produce smoke and season the food.
WARNING
1.
Do not operate your Rotisserie Motor in the rain, or expose it to moisture. Store it in a dry place
when not in use.
2.
Keep any electrical supply cord and fuel supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
3.
Use caution when handling the spit rod and meat forks, as their ends are sharp. Use insulated
protective mitts or potholders as rotisserie parts and food become hot during use.
4.
Keep out of reach of children.
5.
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug.
6.
Turn motor switch to “OFF” before removing from outlet.
7.
Unplug the rotisserie motor when not in use.
8.
Do not use the main burners or side burner when using the rotisserie.
