The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie burner is an
infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other cooking methods, this intense
heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meats.

NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be necessary to
remove the grates and flavor grids when cooking larger portions of meat on the rotisserie. This is by design,
since this configuration gives you the most possible room above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.

Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about 5
minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to 12 lbs. of food. The motor is
mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of
the grill. Make sure the rotisserie motor is completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie
cord is away from any hot surfaces.

Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent 
warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.

ATTACHING THE ROTISSERIE

The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the
grill by sliding the motor over the bracket with the cord 
facing the back of the grill. 

With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into an
electrical outlet, it is now ready to operate. Slide one of the
meat forks onto the rod (prongs facing away from the han-
dle). Push the rod through the center of the food, then
slide the second meat fork onto the rod (prongs toward the
food). Center the food to be cooked on the rod, then push
the meat forks firmly together. Tighten the thumb screws. It
may also be necessary to wrap food with butcher’s string,
(never use nylon or plastic string) to secure loose portions.  

Once the food is secure, insert the pointed end of the
rotisserie rod into the motor assembly and rest the other
end on the support on the right-hand side of the grill. (If
needed, remove the cooking grates for more room). Turn
the power switch to the “On” position to start the rotisserie
motor. 

NOTE: Remove the rotisserie when not in use and
store the unit indoors. Remove warming shelf when
using rotisserie.

Do not use the rotisserie in the rain.
