5. Push in and turn the control knob to LITE/HI. Hold this knob 
in for 10 seconds after the burner is lit. You may see the 
igniter glow or hear the “snapping” sound of the spark 
(depending on your model) until after the knob is released.
IMPORTANT: If the rotisserie burner does not light 
immediately, turn the rotisserie burner control knob to “OFF” 
and wait 5 minutes before relighting.
6. Remove the match and replace the manual lighting extension 
inside the cabinet drawer or door.
Rotisserie Cooking Tips
Rotisserie cooking rotates food in front of the rotisserie burner, 
creating an intense heat for searing the outside and sealing in 
natural juices.
The rotisserie burner reaches cooking temperatures in about 
1 minute. It is not necessary to preheat when using the rotisserie.
Select tender meat and poultry.
Allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) space between rotisserie burner 
and the food.
To make cleanup easier, place a pan under the food to catch 
drippings.
The hood can be opened or closed, but when using the 
rotisserie with the smoker the hood should be closed.
Add barbecue sauce or glaze only during the last 10 minutes 
of cooking to keep sauce from burning.
Trussing Poultry for the Rotisserie
1. Load the spit rod by sliding one of the forks on the rod, with 
the prongs facing inward. Tighten the screw to keep it from 
slipping.
2. Push the rod through the center of the bird.
3. Cut 24" (61 cm) of butcher’s string and center it under the 
bird, breast side up.
4. Wrap each end of the string around the wings; catch each 
wing tip. Bring the string tightly together at the top of the 
breast and knot. It is not necessary to cut off the extra string.
5. Cut another 20" (50.8 cm) of string and lay it under the back 
of the bird. Wrap it around the tail then around the spit rod, 
cinching tightly.
6. Cross the legs on top of spit rod; tie string around the 
crossed legs.
7. Connect the twine holding the legs, to the string holding the 
wings, and knot. Cut off any bits of hanging string.
8. Slide on the second fork pushing the tines into the 
drumsticks.
9. Center the food and forks on the rod and tighten the thumb- 
screws. The bird should be firmly in place on the rotisserie 
spit rod.
ROTISSERIE CHART
Use a portable meat thermometer to check internal doneness of 
the food.
Turn off rotisserie burner when meat thermometer reads 5°F/3°C 
lower than desired internal temperature. Continue rotating, hood 
closed, for 10 minutes before carving.
Timing is affected by weather conditions such as wind and 
outside temperature.
WARNING
