Description of the rotisserie
Technical description
Heating takes place by means of gas that is burnt in a heat exchanger placed
in the ceiling. A fan mixes the gas and air, and which mixture is ignited by
means of an automatic ignition. The combustion takes place in the inner part
of the heat exchanger and is therefore not visible. The flue gasses are
discharged through a flue tube at the top or side off the rotisserie. Fans
ensure an equally divided heat. To maintain the set temperature, the heat
exchanger is modulated and repeatedly switched on and off during the grilling
process.
During the entire process, the interior of the rotisserie will be illuminated
by halogen lamps. The rotisserie control keeps the temperature inside the
rotisserie fixed to the level set by the operator. The rotor is being wheeled
by a maintenance-free motor and gearbox. The hardened glass panes are equipped
with a heat-reflecting layer to keep the heat inside the grill. The plating of
the rotisserie is made of stainless steel. The product contact parts are made
of stainless steel AISI 304. The mains cable is provided with a plug.
Refer to the data plate for the applicable gas system.
Intended use
The rotisserie has been designed for grilling meat products and has a semi-
self-cleaning feature. Any other use will not be regarded as intended use. The

Electrical supply
Prior to installation, test the electrical service to assure that it agrees
with the specifications on the machine data plate located on the right-side
panel near the controls. The connecting cable for the rotisserie is equipped
with an approved plug connection. If use is to be made of a permanent
connection, the connecting cable must be connected to a manual on/off switch
that is installed near the rotisserie in a clear visible manner. In all cases,
a strain relief must be installed where the cable enters the rotisserie. The
rotisserie must be connected according to the figure below. The electrical
diagram is supplied with the documentation package inside the rotisserie. For
a 1-phase 208 V ~ circuit with neutral, the rotisserie must be connected
according to the figure below.
A ground (earth) connection must be provided and installed in accordance with state and local codes.
Gas connection
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be
resistant to the action of propane gases. Codes require a gas shutoff valve be
installed in the gas line ahead of the rotisserie. The gas inlet is located on
the bottom side, under the electric compartment. (marked 4 in drawing below)
With a gas conduit (not included) you can lead the gas connection to the main
gas supply. Connect the rotisserie to the gas line after leveling. Gas supply
line must be at least the equivalent of 1/2“ (12.7 mm) iron pipe and capable
of maintaining the required gas pressure during full power. Make sure the
pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
Note : After the piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes
to remove air. Disconnect the rotisserie from t he gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing on the gas supply piping system.
Note: Check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks prior to start up
the rotisserie. You can use a soap and water solution. Do not use an open
flame.
The gas inlet pressure has to be according to the table on the technical data page. (Chapter 1) The pressure can be checked on the gas block with a pressure meter like in the picture below.
- Gas inlet: Inlet of gas after gas pressure reduction valve (max. 22“ H2O). Pressure depending of gas type.
- Gas outlet: Outlet of gas into gas mixture blower.
- Coils: 2 Coils for the gas valves.
- Inlet pressure: Measuring tube for gas pressure after reduction valve. In order to measure loosen the screw on inside of the tube.
Measuring notes
- Inlet pressure: During operation you measure the pressure of the setting of the reduction
- Outlet pressure: During operation you measure a pressure of zero.
- You can use this measuring point also to check if the gas valves are opening. When you start up t he machine and the valve is not opened yet you measure a under pressure due to the suction of the gas mixture blower and this pressure will be zero when the valve is opened.
Flue gas analyzer
With the flue gas analyzer you can measure the exhaust gas on the rotisserie
for toxicity. With the use of a Testo 330-1LL you get the following
measurements:
Values below are references and factory defaults.
| RPM [min-1]| CO2 [%]| Power Hs in
[kW]
| Power Hs in [BTU]
---|---|---|---|---
High load| 6350| 9,70 %| 24| 82000
Low load| 2500| 9,20 %| 8,9| 30368
Start load| 4640| | 17,5| 59030
Gas consumption
With a flow meter you can measure the gas consumption/flow. See table on page
4.
To get an accurate consumption you have to do a measurement of 3-5 minutes.
During this period the rotisserie may not be turned off and no other gas
device on the same gas line may be active.

zero. Refer to the filters manual to determine the filter capacity. This
filter capacity needs to be adjusted in the manager parameters.
Connecting the drain tube
An open draining system with a 110 mm (4 1/2”) funnel is recommended. The
drain tube has an outside diameter of 33 mm (1 5/16”).
- It is not allowed to make a closed connection, the connection must be aerated!
- Make sure that the tube is not kinked and is sloping downwards to the drain funnel.
- The minimum inside diameter of the sewer pipe needs to be 40 mm (1 1/2”).
- A siphon in the customers sewer is highly recommended to prevent odors from coming out of the sewer.
- See below examples
Extraction of the rotisserie
The rotisserie must be located under an extraction hood which has adequate
connection to an exhaust duct and extends 8” beyond the rotisserie sides.
Clearance above the rotisserie flue should be adequate for the products to
escape so that there is no interference with the heat circulation in the
rotisserie. Refer to ANSI/NFPA 96, ” Standard for Ventilation Control and Fire
Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations” (latest edition). The LDR Gas
produces about 600 cf water vapor per cycle.
Consider the following guidelines for the extraction hood:
- The minimum capacity of the extraction hood has to be 900 cfm
- The extraction hood has to extend a minimum by 8” on all sides of the rotisserie
- The extraction hood has to have a free height, above the rotisserie, of a minimum of 16”
- The rotisserie has to be accessible for service purposes
- Flue connections should never be made directly to the rotisserie.
