Loading the unit

WARNING
Do not use deep frozen products; these should be thawed first.

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.

1. Turn the main switch to rotate rotor
2. Turn the main switch to “0” to stop rotation.
3. Load accessory with product into the oven.
4. Repeat this procedure until the grill is full.
5. Close oven door.

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.
5. The other end of the meat forks must be put through the corresponding holes in the opposite rotor disk.

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

1. 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.
2. 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).
3. 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:

• Stick the ends of the meat baskets through the appropriate holes of the rotor disks.

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 chicken racks (accessory)
When using chicken racks, you can use the principle as described in section 4.2.3.

Grilling time

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.

Operation of the unit

The unit has a mechanical timer with which the grilling time can be set. The grilling process stops at a time pre-set by you:

1. Load the grill as described in section 4.2.
2. Close the door.
3. Set the required temperature (A1).
4. Set the required grilling time (A2).
5. Set the main switch (A3) to

The oven will begin cooking immediately. After the pre-set temperature has been reached, the heating elements and the lamp on the operator side will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.
The quartz lamps, fan and heating elements will turn off when the timer reaches “0”. The bell will give a signal.

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 chicken racks (accessory).
When taking out the chicken racks from the TG it is best to act as follows:

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

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

Taking out the meat basket (accessory)
For taking out the meat baskets you can use the same principle as described in section 4.5.3.
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

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.
5. Close the door.

Switching-off the unit

Set the main switch (A3) to 0.

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.
