OPERATION AND USE

Control Panel

Switching-on the unit

Loading the unit
When the door is open press the rotor button to activate the rotor. This allow easy loading or unloading the products.
Whilst loading the unit, make sure that the rotor gets evenly loaded, so that the mass of the products is evenly spread over de rotor, causing an equal balance. Do not allow empty meat forks, meat baskets and chicken racks etc. in the grilling process.

Loading the rotisserie using meat forks
The unit will be equipped with a set of meat forks.

Whole uncut chickens should always be grilled using the meat forks. This way their natural fat will baste each other, giving a perfectly slender cooking result. Refer to the You-Tube movie: “Fri-Jado instruction for binding and loading chicken”.

For preparing chicken or any other poultry, you can work as follows:

1. Insert one point of the meat fork through the chest at the position of the wings. Insert the other point through the drum sticks. Don’t forget to include the wings.
2. Leave some space between the products, for an even exposure and browning.
3. Put the meat forks onto the rotor disks in such a way that during grilling the chicken breasts face the operator.
4. Put the points of the meat forks through the appropriate holes in the rotor disks.
5. The other end of the meat forks must be put through the corresponding holes in the opposite rotor disk.
6. To insert the remaining meat forks in the unit, act as follows:
   • Switch-on the unit using the on/off button’.
   • With the door opened, use the rotor button to move the rotor to easily insert the next meat fork. Keep the rotor button pressed until the rotor reaches the desired position. To load the next meat fork, press the rotor button to rotate the rotor to the next loading position.
   • Repeat these steps, until all products are loaded.

Loading the rotisserie using V-shape spits (accessory)
If you are using V-shape spits act as follows:

Place the skewer into the small outside hole on the rotor end plate on your left (as you face the oven). The back of the V-shape spit should be pointing towards you.• Fit the other end on the spit into the small corresponding holes on the rotor end plate on your right (as you face the oven).
• Make sure the spit is level. If spit is not level make sure you are using the correct holes on the rotor end plates.

Loading the rotisserie using meat baskets (accessory)
If you are using meat baskets, act as follows:

• With the TDR 5 you must stick the ends of the meat baskets through the appropriate holes of the rotor disks.
• With the TDR 7 and TDR 8 you must attach the meat baskets to the appropriate pins.
• Whilst loading the unit with meat baskets, you must see to it, that the rotor gets evenly loaded, so that the mass of the products is evenly spread over de rotor, causing an equal balance.
• Also see to it that no meat parts are sticking out of the baskets.

Loading the rotisserie using two different accessories.

WARNING
After loading the rotor, at least make ONE full rotation, and check whether the rotor can spin without obstructions.

If you want to load the unit using two different accessories at the same time, always fill the rotor with ONE accessory fewer than the maximum allowed quantity. See to it that accessories of the same type are placed consecutively.
Example: For both TDR 5 and TDR 5 + 5: 1 meat fork + 2 meat baskets consecutively.

Grilling
Grilling time depends on a number of factors:

• The ambient temperature and draft in the direct vicinity of the unit.
• Grilling temperature.
• The initial product temperature.
• The sort of meat (fat or lean) and with or without additives.
• The mass and shape of the product.
• The total amount of meat to be grilled in one grilling cycle.
• The end result.

Grilling temperature
Set the grilling temperature by turning the thermostat knob.
Grilling time
Set the grilling time by turning the timer knob. The unit starts instantly.

Note:
Depending on switch type: Don’t turn too far CCW (before the 0 min.) as the unit will then be energized constantly!

Taking out the products

WARNING
After the grilling, the interior of the unit and the glass panes are very hot. Always use oven gloves when taking out the meat forks or other accessories.

Taking out the meat forks
When taking out the meat forks, it is best to act as follows:

1. Hold the meat fork firmly.

2. Slightly lift the end with the grips and shift the meat fork into the direction of its points.
   This releases the meat fork.

3. Take the meat fork at its other end and take it out of the unit.

4. Remove the products from the meat fork.

Refer to the You-Tube movie: “Fri-Jado instruction for unloading chicken from a rotisserie”.

Taking out the V-shape spit (accessory)
For taking out the V-shape spit you can use the same principle as described in section 4.5.1.

Taking out the meat basket (accessory).
When taking out the meat basket from the TDR it is best to act as follows:

1. Slightly lift both ends of the meat basket.
2. Move the basket towards either the left or right hand side of the unit. This action unlocks one end of the basket.
3. Move the unlocked end towards you and take out the basket from the unit.

Depending on the number of prepared products you may have to empty the baskets before they can be removed.

Emptying grease drawer

WARNING
Check the grease drawer after each cooking process and empty already when about half full to avoid overflowing. Push the grease drawer completely into the unit after placing it back to prevent damage to the window.
WARNING
Grease will be hot immediately after cooking. Allow grease to cool or use extreme caution and wear insulated gloves or safety mitts.

1. Open the door and slide the grease drawer out about 130 mm (5 inch).
2. Provide a suitably large bucket or vessel under drain valve and open valve handle.
3. Close drain valve when empty.
4. Push the grease drawer completely into the oven after placing it back to prevent damage to the window.
5. Close the door.

Cleaning guidelines for non-stick coated surfaces
Several parts of your rotisserie may have a non-stick coating surface. Abrasion and caustic chemicals reduce the life of the coating. With proper care, the non-stick coating surface should provide a long life of easy-to- clean service.

• DO NOT do the following:
  • Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, Scotch-Brite pads, plastic wash pads, or other abrasive cleaning aids (abrasive pads remove the coating over time significantly reducing the life of the coating).
  • Do not use sharp instruments such as knives, forks, scrapers, or metal objects of any kind.
  • Do not use oven cleaners.
  • CAUTION : The chemicals components of some sanitizers can attack the non-stick surface if the sanitizer is not diluted to its recommended strength causing the coating to peel.
  • Do not attempt to burn-off or bake-off surface contamination.
  • Do not operate more than eight hours without cleaning.

Cleaning of Non-stick Coated Surfaces (Routine Cleaning):

1. Clean at the end of each cook cycle.
2. Allow surfaces to cool before cleaning.
3. Mix a mild dish washing soap in warm water and use a soft cloth or sponge to remove grease and food residue immediately after the coated component has cooled.
4. Rinse with clean water and let dry.
5. Wipe a light vegetable oil into the surface to condition the surface. Do not use vegetable oil cooking spray.

How to Clean Severe Build-up on Non-stick Coated Surfaces:
Do not use this procedure for routine cleaning.
After successive cook cycles without cleaning, some food residues may become more difficult to remove.
If severe build-up is a regular problem, cleaning schedules should be re- evaluated.

1. Mix the following solution:
   • 3 tablespoons of bleach
   • 1 tablespoon liquid dish washing detergent
   • 1 cup of water
2. Use a sponge or a cloth to apply solution to affected areas. “Plastic” wash pads designed for use on non-stick cookware may be necessary for severe build-up, but never use steel pads.
3. Thoroughly rinse with clean water and let dry.
4. Condition with vegetable oil.
