Operation

Rotisserie Setup (if equipped)

The rotisserie assembly includes a counterweight for large or irregular 

foods; using the counterweight reduces strain on the motor which is rated 

to turn a maximum of 12 lbs. 
1.  Attach the Rotisserie Motor Bracket to the left side of the base by 

aligning the holes and securing the pieces together using the two (2) 

bolts and two (2) lock nuts provided. (Fig. 12a)

NOTE:

 For grill models with a marinating station: Loosen the two (2) 

bolts and nuts securing the heat shield marinating tray to the grill 

body. (Fig. 12b) Attach the rotisserie motor bracket using the  

same mounting holes. Secure both the bracket and heat shield us-

ing bolts and nuts provided.

2.  Remove the warming rack. Lay a flat noncombustible pan directly on 

the cooking grates to catch drippings. Large food items may require 

that you remove the middle cooking grate(s), and place the pan on 

the sear plates. Never use the main burners while using the rotisserie 

burner.

3.  Insert the ends of the Rotisserie Support into the slots of the right 

cooking grate, so the edge of the support is approximately 1” from the 

right casting, and the top groove is in line with the rotisserie spit hole 

in the left casting. (Fig. 12c)

4.  Engage the Motor Bracket to the left side of the base as per Rotisserie 

instructions.

5.  Engage the Rotisserie Motor in the 

Motor Bracket. (Fig. 12c)

6.  Assemble the spit and meat forks. 

Adjust the retainer bushing to keep the 

spit in place. (Fig. 12c)

7.  Tighten the thumbscrews with small 

pliers.

8.  Insert the Spit Rod into the Rotisserie 

Motor. (Fig. 12d)
