Operating your Rotisserie
- Never leave burners on high for more than 10 minutes unless actually cooking. If the burner makes hissing sounds when lit, it may be burning inside. Turn burner off, allow it to cool and try again.

- Never allow the flexible gas supply hose or any electrical cord to come in contact with any heated surface of the Rotisserie.
- Before you start cooking for the first time, clean the Rotisserie thoroughly with hot soapy water. This is necessary to remove residuals and solvents, oil and grease, which may have remained from the manufacturing process. The hotplate and grill on your BBQ should be thoroughly cleaned in the same manner.
- Do not exceed 3kg in raw meat weight

- Do not allow children to operate the Rotisserie.
- Do not use Rotisserie for any other purpose than its intended use.
- When Rotisserie cooking place a drip pan under the food being cooked.
- The Rotisserie is for outdoor use only.
- If the BBQ is fitted with a side burner, do not operate the side burner when the Rotisserie is attached.
Controlling the flames
The knobs have three basic positions: Off, High and Low. You can achieve any
flame height between low and high by rotating the BBQ control knob between
these positions.
Checking the flame
Look underneath the BBQ so that you can see the flames. They should be a soft
blue colour with yellow tips. If the flames are too yellow, there is too much
gas and not enough air. The flame will be inefficient and will give off too
much smoke. If the flame is too pale, there is too much air and not enough
gas. If either of these situations occur you may need to clean the burners
(See ‘Maintenance’ section of this manual).
Note: ‘Blowback’ is a situation where the flame burns inside the burner,
towards the front. It can be recognised by a sharp roaring sound coming from
the burner. It is not dangerous unless it is allowed to persist. If this
occurs, simply turn the burner off, wait a few seconds then relight.
Controlling flare up
Flare-ups are sudden bursts of flame that come up over the top of the grill.
They are caused by natural cooking juices from your food falling onto the
flame tamer and then burning. A little bit of flare-up, as well as the
resulting smoke, is a good thing. It’s what gives BBQ’d food that unique
outdoor flavour. But if it happens too often, or if the flame last more than a
couple of seconds, your food will char, so you need to control it. First of
all, cooking very fatty foods will cause a lot of flare up. You should trim
excess fat off your meat. Also, excess flaring usually means your controls are
up too high. Try turning them down.
Cooking with your Rotisserie
There are so many advantages to Rotisserie cooking. Meats are generally
juicier, self-basted andslow roasted. Of course there are a few differences
between grilling and Rotisserie cooking that you need to be aware of, remember
that while a lot of grilling is done over a very hot fire you need a lot less
heat for the Rotisserie.
The most important thing to remember in using a Rotisserie is balance and
security. Place the meat on the middle of the Rotisserie skewer and fasten as
firmly as you can. If you are cooking poultry remember to secure the wings and
legs in as tightly as possible. If parts are loose to flop around as it turns
you can get burning and it can throw off the balance. If the meat is
unbalanced you will put stress on the Rotisserie motor and will make one side
turn slower than the other causing uneven cooking. Adjust until you have a
good balance.
Note: If the Prong doesn’t turn smoothly, or makes a struggling sound as
it turns, the meat is not properly balanced. If this happens, reset the meat
on the prongs until it is balanced. Cooking with an unbalanced Prong will
eventually burn the motor out.
Using a meat thermometer is best for assessing when the meat is ready. If you
set up your Rotisserie so that the top of the item is moving away from you and
place the drip pan slightly towards the front of the grill then you will have
an easier time scooping up the drippings for basting.
Tips: Avoid burning or charring food as this has been shown to be unhealthy. Don’t leave cooked food standing for too long before eating.
Indirect Cooking Method
- Using indirect cooking, there is no direct heat on the food. To achieve this the hood needs to be closed and the burners either side (not directly under) the meat need to be on.
- Preheat the barbeque
- Skewer meat through the middle onto the centre prongs
- Allow a drip pan to fit underneath the centre of the meat and on top of the Cooking grate.
- Fill the drip pan approximately one inch high (depending on the height of the pan) with water and add your favourite fruit juice, wine or beer.
- The drip pan’s contents can be improved by the addition of cinnamon, bay leaves, rosemary, staranise cardamom pods or lemongrass. This will add flavour and keep the meat moist during the cooking process.
- Place the balanced Rotisserie shaft in the motor and turn on.
- Leave the burners directly under the meat off and leave the remaining burners on low.
- Now close the hood. For heat circulation and flavour retention ensure the hood is kept closed, and maintain a medium cooking temperature.
- Cook until meat thermometer registers a cooked temperature. (Do not leave the meat thermometer in the roast during cooking)
Two Burner Indirect Cooking
Best for smaller meals or foods. Consumes less LPG.
Three Burner Indirect Cooking
Great indirect cooking on low. Produces slow, even heating. Ideal for slow
roasting and baking.
Direct Cooking Method
- Direct cooking uses heat directly under the food. The hood can be open or closed during this process.
- If your BBQ comes with a rear burner, this is the burner you use with your Rotisserie cooking.
- Ensure that the food on the Rotisserie is not too large that it touches the rear burner while the
- Rotisserie is operating.
- Preheat the barbeque
- Skewer meat through the middle onto the centre prongs
- Turn the burners directly under the food on.
- Place the balanced Rotisserie shaft in the motor and turn on.
- Cook the food with a medium heat, being careful to avoid burning.
- Turn the burners towards high or low depending on the height of the food above the grill.
- Baste the food a few times during cooking to keep it moist.
- Cook until meat thermometer registers a cooked temperature. (Do not leave the meat thermometer in the roast during cooking).
Three Burner direct Cooking
Good for bigger cuts of meat. Generates higher temperatures around the meat.

Maintenance
Storing your Rotisserie
Your Rotisserie is designed to be used outdoors. However, just like a car, you
will prolong the life of the Rotisserie if you store it out of direct exposure
to the elements when not in use. When the Rotisserie is not being used, it
should be removed from the BBQ, dismantled and stored away from the elements.
If you don’t intend to use it for a few months, lightly spray all the surfaces
with canola oil. This will help protect against corrosion.
- Do not perform any servicing on the Rotisserie yourself. This includes internal adjustment of motor. Servicing can only be carried out by authorised technicians. Your BBQ should be serviced annually by a certified gas service agent.
Rust on your Rotisserie from misuse or lack of cleaning or protective agents are expressly excluded from Warranty.
On-going Maintenance
Chrome Rotisserie Prongs and Rod
Overtime grease, fat and other cooking oils may build up on your Rotisserie.
To clean, wash with warm/hot soapy water. Wash off soapy water with warm/hot
clean water, leave to air dry. Apply a light cooking oil to the prongs to
protect the stainless steel surface. This will apply a protective coating and
assist in repelling the elements.
Stainless steel parts will rust if you do not look after them properly.
From time to time spotting may occur on Rotisserie. This is normal and is due
to moisture and/or other elements. To ensure that spotting and discoloration
does not become worse and more visible resulting in permanent damage to your
Rotisserie, it should be cleaned and removed straight away. This is best done
with a steel cleaner/cutback solution, or if the spotting is larger and harder
to remove, use a steel/metal polish and then a cleaner/solution. Always use a
soft cloth to clean your Rotisserie.
