-Setting Rotisserie Offset Angle- The rotisserie can be adjusted to hold bottles either
horizontally or at a slight angle for more vigorous wetting action. To adjust the angle, first
loosen the screws on one hub then rotate the hub to create an angle offset between the
two hubs, then retighten the screws. Additional angle can be obtained by loosening the
screws and rotating the second hub in the opposite direction from the first hub.
-Rotisserie Removal and Installation- Caution ! Rotisserie and oven sides may be hot
! The rotisserie is held and driven by a two-prong fork drive on one side and locked in a
cradle on the other side by a brass locking pin. To remove the rotisserie, first remove the
brass locking pin, then lift the rotisserie up from the cradle while simultaneously moving the
rotisserie away from and off the two-prong fork drive. Rotisserie installation is the reverse.
Bottles may need to be removed before attempting to remove or install the rotisserie.
-Drip Tray- Each oven comes with a removable drip tray. The Problot 24 has one tray for
each chamber. On the Problot 12S, the shaker platform serves as the drip tray. You may
wish to remove the rubber mat or cover the platform with aluminum foil on the 12S.
-Electrical Outlet- The 115 volt versions of the Problot 6, Problot 12 and Problot 24 mod-
els have an electrical outlet inside the chamber for small equipment such as a rocker or
shaker. This outlet is rated for 1 amp draw maximum.
SHAKER (Problot 12S only)- The Problot 12S provides an orbital shaking platform with
rubber mat. The platform can be removed by lifting up and pulling it free from the four
rubber grommets that hold the platform to the shaker mechanism. The platform is re-in-
stalled by lining up the pins on the bottom of the platform to the rubber grommet holes and
pushing downward.
An optional flask platform is available for the shaker.
ROCKING PLATFORM / INSTALLATION- An optional rocker platform is available for all
Problot 6, 12, 12S and 24 models. Before installing the rocker platform, the rotisserie must
first be removed (see page 5, Rotisserie Removal and Installation). To install the rocking
platform, first Install the fork adapter (rectangular bar with holes) on the rotisserie drive fork
by pressing the adapter over the two prongs and tighten the Allen screw in the end of the
adapter with the wrench provided. Do not over tighten.
Next, use the rotisserie speed control to bring the fork drive and adapter to a horizontal
position. If the rocking platform is being installed on a model Problot 12S, remove the 1”
(25mm) hexagonal arm extension using a small adjustable wrench.
Place the Rocking Platform in the oven and connect the platform drive arm to the fork drive
adapter using the thumbscrew. Two positions are available on the adapter. Select the
position that allows the platform to sit horizontal (or close to horizontal) when the fork drive
and adapter are horizontal.
The platform drive arm can be adjusted and the second hole in the adapter used to obtain
more or less rocking angle or to achieve a perfectly horizontal platform at mid-rock. If the
length of the arm is adjusted, be sure to retighten the locking nuts on the arm.
