ENGLISH

Note: It is not necessary to detach the handle and the bearing part after each 

use.

5 

Remove the skewer from the metal frame. Slide one of the meat forks on the 
spit rod and spit the chicken (or other meat) on the skewer. Slide the second 
meat fork on the spit rod (Fig. 8).

Caution: Be careful that the metal frame does not tilt when removing the spit rod 

from the motor unit. 

6 

Stick both meat forks into the meat at slightly different angles to hold food 
more securely. Next, center the meat on the skewer and fix the meat forks to the 
rod by screwing them down.

Tip: Use some kitchen or butcher twine to truss the drumsticks and wings of the 

chicken on the skewer.

7 

Insert the skewer into the motor unit and place it on the frame (Fig. 9).

Note: The bearing part should be aligned with the opening of the side wall 

(Fig. 7). The meat should be centered on the skewer allowing it to freely turn 

between the metal walls.

8 

Plug the grill into the power outlet. Operate the grill according to the user 
manual by turning the control knob to the “On” (I) position (Fig. 10) and switch 
on the motor unit by pressing the “On” (I) button to start the skewer turning 
(Fig. 11).

Note: When you marinate food, only use a little oil and brush the marinade 

lightly onto the food as the oil causes extra smoke.

9 

Grill the chicken (or other meat) until it has reached the desired doneness and 
browning (see the cooking table for suggested cooking times).

Tip: Always check internal temperature using an instant-read thermometer. Be 

careful thermometer probe does not touch the metal spit as this would cause an 

inaccurate reading.

10 

When you have finished grilling, switch off the appliance and the rotisserie 
motor unit, and remove the plug from the wall outlet.

Caution: The skewer, spit parts, metal frame, and grill are very hot, use kitchen 

gloves to remove the skewer from the grill.
