Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all packaging materials and accessories from the box.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all removable parts (rotisserie spit, skewers, forks, drip tray) in warm, soapy water. Wipe the interior and exterior of the main unit with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.
3. Placement: Place the grill on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface, away from walls and other appliances to allow for proper ventilation. Ensure there is at least 6 inches of space around the unit.
4. Drip Tray: Insert the drip tray at the bottom of the unit. This collects fats and juices during cooking.
5. Power Connection: Ensure the Power/Heat Selector Switch is in the "O" (OFF) position before plugging the appliance into a grounded electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

General Operation

1. Prepare your food item according to your recipe.
2. Securely attach the food to the rotisserie spit or skewers. For whole chickens, ensure legs and wings are tied to prevent them from dangling and interfering with rotation.
3. Carefully place the loaded rotisserie spit or skewers into the appliance. Ensure they are properly seated in the rotation mechanism.
4. Close the glass door.
5. Set the Power/Heat Selector Switch to "I" (Half Power) or "II" (Full Power) as desired. The rotisserie will begin to rotate.
6. Set the Timer Knob to the desired cooking duration (up to 60 minutes). The appliance will begin heating and rotating.
7. Monitor cooking progress through the glass door.
8. Once cooking is complete, the timer will ding, and the appliance will automatically shut off.
9. Carefully open the door and use heat-resistant gloves or appropriate tools to remove the cooked food.
10. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.

Cooking Guidelines (Approximate)

Cooking times may vary based on food type, size, and desired doneness. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure food reaches safe internal temperatures.

• Whole Chicken (approx. 3-4 lbs): 60-90 minutes on Full Power. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
• Kebab Skewers (meat/vegetable): 20-40 minutes on Full Power, depending on ingredients.
• Roasts (e.g., small beef or pork roast): 45-75 minutes on Full Power, adjust based on thickness and desired doneness.

For best results, preheat the grill for 5-10 minutes before adding food.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your rotisserie grill.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the appliance and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Remove Accessories: Remove the rotisserie spit, skewers, forks, and drip tray.
3. Wash Removable Parts: Wash all removable parts in warm, soapy water. For stubborn food residue, soak them before washing. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. These parts are generally not dishwasher safe unless specified otherwise in product packaging.
4. Clean Interior: Wipe the interior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could damage the non-stick coating or stainless steel.
5. Clean Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water or any other liquid.
