Using the Rotisserie Burner
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 intens
e 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.
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 fac
ing the back of the grill. (See Fig. 32)
With the rotisserie motor in place and plugged into an
electrical outlet, it is now ready to operate. Slide one of th
e meat forks onto the rod (prongs facing away from the
rounded end). Push the rod through the center of the foo
d, 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 wit
h butcher’s string, (never use nylon or plastic string) to
secure loose portions. (See Fig. 33)
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 rotisseri
e motor.
NOTE: Remove the rotisserie when not in use. Store
the unit indoors when not in use. Remove warming
shelf when using rotisserie.
