Using the Rotisserie Burner
The grill rotisserie burner is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The rotisserie
burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other
cooking methods, this intense heat sears in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of
meats.
NOTE: The rotisserie spit rod is centered between the grill hood and the burners. It may be
necessary to remove the grates and flavor grids when cooking larger portions of meat on
the rotisserie. This is by design, since this configuration gives you the most possible room
above and below the rod for larger pieces of meat.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperature in 1 minute. The orange/red glow will
even out in about 5 minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of
turning up to 12 lbs. of food. The motor is mounted on a bracket on the left side of the grill by sliding
the motor over the bracket with the cord facing the back of the grill. Make sure the rotisserie motor is
completely seated on the bracket prior to operating. Make sure the rotisserie cord is away from any
hot surfaces.
Note: Rotisserie motor, spit and forks are not included and sold separately.
Remove the warming rack from the grill when using the rotisserie to prevent
warping from the intense heat of the infrared unit.
ROTISSERIE LIGHTING
Open the lid. Push and turn the control knob for the
rotisserie counter-clockwise to the “HIGH” position.
Wait 5 seconds. Then press and hold the electronic igniter
button. You’ll hear a snapping sound. If the burner does not
light in 4 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF" and wait 5
minutes before trying again. Once lit, turn the control knob
to the desired setting. (See Fig. 7)
If the igniter does not function, the burner can be lit by
holding a lit match to the burner while the control knob is
turned counter-clockwise to “HIGH”. (See Fig. 8)
NOTE: After the first use the stainless steel around the
burner will darken. This is a normal reaction of premium
stainless steel due to heat and is not a defect. The
infrared panel will also darken after initial use. This is
also a normal occurrence.
NOTE: Do not operate the main burners
and infrared back burner at the same time.
This can cause warping of the roll top grill
hood.
