CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
•
Spit rod and forks can be disassembled and washed in dish soap and warm water.
Note:
All metal parts, with exception of the motor, are dishwasher safe.
•
After first use, it is likely that the stainless steel adjacent to the burner will darken.
This is a normal property of stainless steel used on the rotisserie.
•
Store motor and other parts in a cool, clean and dry place.
•
To prevent electrical shock hazard, DO NOT immerse the motor or cord in water.
