Before initial use, turn the thermostat control dial (A) to 450°F (218°C) and 

allow equipment to burn-in for 30 minutes. See Figure 1. You will notice 

smoke appearing due to the elements burning-in. This is normal. After 30

each. The total capacity is 15 birds of approximately 3lbs (1.3kg) each.

two hour adjustable cooking timer.

distributed evenly to ensure they are all properly cooked within about the 

same amount of time.

The grill baskets must be loaded evenly to ensure smooth balanced 

operation. Load slowly and carefully so the baskets are level. Uneven 

loading may cause the grill baskets to bump other baskets or the 

sides and cause damage to the equipment See Figure 2.

recommended cooking temperature for eight (8) birds and 15 birds is 

338°F (170°C), however this may need to be adjusted based on chicken 

size, starting temperature, quantity, your preferences and other variables.

4.  Set the timer control (D) to the desired cooking time, typically between 

1½ - 2 hours. The actual cooking time (and temperature) may need to be 

adjusted to ensure the chickens are fully cooked as verified by a quality 

food thermometer.

the baskets and the convection fan.
