OPERATING
1. Remove rotisserie shaft from barbecue. Remove one spit fork.
2. Push the rotisserie shaft through the approximate 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 thumb screws.
4. Place the rotisserie shaft on the cooking box. The grooves of the shaft should rest
in the cut-outs in the cooking box.
5. 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. Re-mount the food if necessary for
better balance.
6. Remove rotisserie shaft with food before preheating. Preheat barbecue for 10 minutes
with lid down. Follow cooking instructions in your Weber ® gas barbecue cook book
and adjust the burners as indicated.
7. Place the motor into the bracket, slide to lock.
8. Insert the pointed end of the rotisserie shaft into the motor. Place the rotisserie shaft
with food on the cooking box.
9. Turn the motor on.
cOOkING
• Meat (except poultry and minced meat) should be brought to room temperature before
cooking. (20 to 30 minutes should be adequate for most foods. If frozen, defrost
completely before cooking.)
• Truss meat or poultry with string, if necessary, to make the shape as uniform as
possible before putting it on the spit.
• Remove cooking grates and warming rack to allow food to turn freely.
• If you wish to save drippings for gravy, place a drip-pan directly under the food on top
of the Flavorizer ® bars.
• Food preparation steps are the same for rotisserie cooking as for ordinary cooking.
Indicated timing in the cook book will be the same.
• All cooking should be performed with the lid closed.
• If foods are too heavy or are irregular in shape, they may not rotate well and should
be cooked by the Indirect Method, without using the rotisserie.
