“set It and Forget It” ® only after all instructional materials
(written and DVD) have been carefully followed.
Make sure food safely rotates without touching the Heating Element.
please Don’t take “set It and Forget It” ® Literally
Always use caution and check on your rotisserie from time to time.
It is highly unlikely, but if you should see or smell heavy smoke it’s because the food is
rubbing against the hot Heating Element. This indicates that the meat or poultry is too
big or it wasn’t placed properly - or the food is off-center (lopsided) on the spit rods or
in the basket. If this occurs:
turn off and unplug your machine. Do not open the Glass Door. Let it cool down.
Trim any excess fat or meat, position your food tightly in the basket and be sure the
food is centered in the basket so it always rotates without touching the Heating Element.
cleaning and caring for your rotisserie
the Glass Door: Set the right side pin in the bottom first then slide the left pin in.
After use: Unplug and allow it to cool before washing any parts. NOTE: The Heating
Element cleans itself and no other maintenance is necessary.
the Light: The light is on when the heat is on. Replace light bulb with a 25 watt appli-
ance bulb when needed.
never use Metal cleaning pads on the non-stick surfaces. They will permanently
scratch the surfaces of the Grate Cover, Drip Tray, Steaming Tray, etc.
Discoloration? Some discoloration over time is to be expected when you work with
hot food - especially food with fat. It’s normal and will not affect the function. On white
machines it gets slightly browner on the front of the machine behind the Glass Door
and on the Dual Heating Tray. While not recommended, you can return your machine
and, for a nominal fee, the factory will refinish the special outside surface.
cleaning stainless steel (Stainless Model Only) - We recommend cleaners or wipes
designed specifically for stainless steel surfaces. These cleaners are available at your
local grocery or hardware store.

BEForE FIrst usE: Be sure the Rotisserie is not plugged in. Wash and dry the
removable parts in warm soapy water. Never immerse the machine or the cord in
water. Keep at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides and do not place it under a
cabinet when in use. A little smoke is normal when you first use the machine.
