OPERATING INSTRUCTION
General use of the grill and rotisserie
Each burner is rated at 15,000 Btu/hr. The grill burners
encompass the entire cooking area and are side ported to
minimize blockage from falling grease and debris.
Above the burners are stainless steel radiants. The igniter
knobs are located on the lower center portion of the
valve panel. Each rotary igniter is labeled on the
Lighting Instructions Plate.
USING THE GRILL:
Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper
browning. Most foods are cooked at the “HI” heat setting
for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large
pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the
heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This
cooks the food through without burning the outside.
Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary
marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of
the cooking time.
Make sure the grill has been leak tested and is properly
located.
Remove any packing material.
Light the grill burners using the instructions in this
manual.
Turn the control knob to “HI” and preheat the grill for 15
minutes. The grill lid is to be closed during the appliance
preheat period.
Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired
doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control
knob may be set to any position between “HI” and “LO”.
NOTE:
The Kirkland Signature grill is designed to grill
efficiently without the use of lava rocks or briquettes of
any kind. Heat is radiated by the stainless steel flame
tamers positioned beneath the solid stainless steel rods.
NOTE:
The hot grill sears the food, sealing in the juices.
The longer the preheat, the faster the meat browns and
the darker the grill marks.
DO NOT LEAVE THE GRILL UNATTENDED
WHILE COOKING.
USING ROTIS BURNER:
Your grill is capable of performing back burner rotis
cooking. Light the rear burner as described in the
lighting instructions. Once lit, the rotis burner will reach
cooking temperatures in about 1 minute.
The rotis motor is capable of turning up to a 12lb. cut of
meat or poultry. The motor slides onto the stainless steel
motor mount. The rotisserie motor must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
The skewer for the rotis is assembled into the motor
assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor, and
resting the grooved bushing on the support at the
opposite side of the grill. The thumbscrew should be
inside the grill body. With the skewer pushed as far as
possible into the motor, the skewer should rest on the left
side of the grill body. To load the skewer begin with the
handle in place, and slide one of the meat forks (prongs
toward the food) onto the skewer. Center the product to
be cooked on the skewer then push the meat forks firmly
together. Tighten the wing nuts as tight as possible.
It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butchers
string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any
loose portions. Once the food is secure insert the skewer
into the motor. It is normal for the skewer to flex when
larger cuts of meat are being cooked. It may also be
necessary to remove the grill rods for larger cuts of meat.
If the meat scrapes on the grill rods during any part of
the rotation, then the grill rods must be removed.
Assemble the counterweight with washers and handle to
counter balance the heaviest side of the meat. By suing
the counterweight the rotisserie motor should turn
smoothly through all 360 degrees of rotation.
After your first use of the rotis burner it is likely that the
stainless steel adjacent to the burner will darken to a dark
blue color. This is a normal property of the non-rusting,
type 304 stainless steel used on the grill.
CAUTION: PLEASE TAKE OFF THE WARMING
RACK WHEN USING THE ROTIS BURNER. THE
HIGH HEAT COMING FROM THE ROTIS BURNER
MAY CAUSE THE WARMING RACK TO BEND.
WARNING
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. This
appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a plug and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.
Keep the rotis motor electric cord away from the heated
surfaces of the grill. When not in use remove and store
the motor in a dry location.
