ROTISSERIE INSTALLATION:
If you purchased the optional rotisserie
for your 27” Grill, it is necessary to
mount the bracket and motor to the
grill by following these instructions:
1. Attach bracket to either side of grill
as shown in Fig. 7 using bolts and nuts
provided in the rotisserie kit. If you
have a side burner, attach the bracket
to the opposite side.
2. Slide motor downward onto bracket,
and plug into grounded outlet. The
motor should be removed and stored
away from the grill when not in use.
USING THE ROTISSERIE:
Begin by assembling the spit rod. First
slide the counter-weight onto the rod,
followed by the bearing. These should
both slide all the way to the handle
end. Next place one fork onto the rod,
followed by the meat. Center the meat
on the rod, firmly insert the fork and
tighten. Finally, slide the second fork
onto the rod, insert firmly into the meat
and tighten.
Remove the warming rack from the
grill. Light and preheat according to
the instructions found on page 9. Use
of the optional BBQ Tray is recom-
mended when using the rotisserie. See
page 12 for details.
When the grill is ready, place the sharp
end of the spit into the motor, and rest
the spit onto the holders at each end of
the grill. Turn the rotisserie motor on,
and adjust the counter-weight as nec-
essary to ensure even rotation. Refer to
the chart on page 7 for cooking times
for various cuts of meat.

WOOD CHIP SMOKER:
This optional accessory allows the use
of real wood chips to add extra flavor to
your grilled foods. To use, follow these
instructions:
1. Fill the smoker with wood chips and
soak according to the manufacturer’s
instructions, but for no less than 30 min.
2. Drain any excess liquid from the
smoker, and firmly attach the lid.
3. Lift one of the V-grates and place
the smoker under it (see Fig. 8).
4. Replace V-grate if desired and
follow lighting instructions from page 9.
5. After grill is pre-heated, turn control
knob to LOW and begin cooking.
Smoking is normally done with low
heat and the hood closed. When cook-
ing with the hood closed, never set the
control knobs higher than the “
*
”
position (see warning on page 8).
Allow the grill to cool completely
before attempting to remove the wood
chip smoker.
WOOD CHIP SMOKER NOT FOR
USE WITH HIGH HEAT. WOOD
CHIPS WILL BURN IF NOT
THOROUGHLY SOAKED. TURN
CONTROL KNOBS TO “OFF” IF
CHIPS BEGIN TO BURN. NEVER
ADD WATER TO SMOKER WHILE
INSTALLED IN GRILL.

Optional Accessories
Your AGBQ-27XL grill is capable of
performing rear burner infrared rotis-
serie cooking. The placement of the
burner allows the use of a rotisserie
basting pan (not included) beneath the
food to collect juices and drippings for
basting and gravy. The contents of the
pan can be flavored with the addition
of herbs, onion, garlic and spices.
LIGHTING THE REAR
ROTISSERIE BURNER:
The control knob for the rotisserie burn-
er differs slightly from the main grill
burner control knobs in that it is also
a safety valve that prevents gas from
escaping if the rotisserie burner does
not light or goes out during cooking.
To light the rotisserie burner, open
the grill hood, remove the warming
rack, depress the control and turn
to “HI”, keeping the knob pressed
in. Immediately depress the igniter
button, keeping it pressed until the
burner lights. Keep the control knob
depressed for at least 20 seconds
AFTER the burner lights to allow the
safety sensor to heat up completely.
Slowly release the control knob, and
adjust burner to desired setting. If
burner does not remain lit when knob
is released, turn control to “OFF”, wait
five minutes, then repeat the above
process, keeping the control knob
depressed for 45 seconds after the
burner lights.
USING THE ROTISSERIE:
Begin by attaching the motor to the
grill by sliding it onto the mounting
plate attached to the side of the grill.
The bracket can be mounted to either
side according to your needs.
Next, assemble the spit rod. First slide
the counter-weight onto the rod, fol-
lowed by the bearing. These should
both slide all the way to the handle
end. Next place one fork onto the rod,
followed by the meat. Center the meat
on the rod, firmly insert the fork and
tighten. Finally, slide the second fork
onto the rod, insert firmly into the meat
and tighten both wing nuts with pliers.
It may be necessary to secure loose
portions of the food on the spit. Only
use butchers string for this purpose, as
other types of string may melt or catch
fire from the heat of the burner.
When the grill is ready, place the sharp
end of the spit into the motor, and rest
the spit onto the holders at each end of
the grill. Turn the rotisserie motor on,
and adjust the counter-weight as nec-
essary to ensure even rotation. Refer to
the chart on page 7 for cooking times
for various cuts of meat.
BALANCING THE LOAD ON
THE SKEWER IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT. FAILURE TO
BALANCE HEAVY LOADS MAY
DAMAGE THE ELECTRIC MOTOR
AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
IT IS NORMAL FOR THE SKEWER
TO FLEX WHEN LARGER CUTS OF
MEAT ARE BEING COOKED.
KEEP ROTISSERIE MOTOR ELEC-
TRIC CORD AWAY FROM HEATED
SURFACES OF THE GRILL. WHEN
NOT IN USE, REMOVE AND STORE
MOTOR IN A DRY LOCATION.
NOTE: After your first use of the rotis-
serie burner, it is likely that the stain-
less steel adjacent to the burner will
darken to a dark blue or bronze color.
This is a normal property of the type
304 stainless steel and is not detrimen-
tal to the operation of the grill.
