ƽWARNING: Setup up the rotisserie with food before lighting rotisserie burner.
Operating
1 Remove rotisserie shaft from grill. Remove one spit fork.
2. Push the rotisserie shaft through the center of the food.
3. Slide the spit fork onto the shaft. Insert the tines of both spit forks into the food. The food should be centered on
the shaft. Tighten the spit fork screws
4. Place the motor in the bracket, slide to lock (see page 14, step 2. “Attach the motor”).
5. Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Place the handle end of the rotisserie onto the
support rollers (see page 14, step 4. “Insert the rotisserie shaft in the motor”).
6. The rotisserie shaft should rotate so that the heavy side of the meat or poultry rotates down to the bottom. Large
cuts may require the removal of the cooking grates and warming rack to allow full rotation of the shaft. Remount the
food if necessary for better balance.
7. Turn the motor on.
Cooking
■ Meats should be brought to room temperature before cooking. (30 to 60 minutes should be adequate for most
foods. If frozen defrost completely before cooking.)
■ Tie meat or poultry with a string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as possible before putting it on the
spit.
■ It may be necessary to remove the cooking grates and warming rack to allow large cuts to turn freely.
■ Follow lighting instructions for rotisserie burner on next page.
■ Set rotisserie burner on Med-High based on outside air temperatures.
■ Place food within area of burner.
■ If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip pan directly under the food on top of the Flavorizer
®
bars.

ROTISSERIE
■ Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for regular cooking. Indicated timing in the
cookbook will be the same.
■ All cooking is done with the lid closed.
■ If foods are too heavy or are irregular shapes, they may not rotate well and should be cooked by the Indirect
Method without using the rotisserie.
■ Smoker can be used in conjunction with rotisserie for more smoke flavor. (See Using the Vieluxe
®
smoker on
page 11.)
Note - When using the rotisserie burner, grill thermometer will not reflect the temperature inside the cooking box.
Note - When using the rotisserie with the lid closed, only light two of the main burners that are directly under the
food being cooked. Use only the low setting.
