ventilated area. Do not use in garage, building, or other enclosed area. Operation of this equipment

DO NOT operate rotisserie within 12” of a combustible or non-combustible surface. Provide ade-
quate clearance and ventilation at all times
DO NOT perform any maintenance or cleaning until unit is completely cooled down.
DO NOT burn logs or sticks of wood in this rotisserie. Wood burns hotter than charcoal and will

DO NOT pour water over hot coals as it may cause the metal to warp and void the warranty.
Wood Pellets can be used to add the smoke flavor to food by throwing a handful in on top of the
charcoal

This unit ships 90% assembled and we make sure the instructions for the rest are easy to follow and
perform. Please follow the instructions below to ensure your rotisserie is properly assembled for safe
operation and remember this is a commercial piece of equipment and therefore the materials used to
build it are of the best quality. Because of this, the weight is considerable and will require 2 people to un
-package, assemble, and set-up the unit.
1. Unbox rotisserie and remove all packaging materials, tape, and plastic coverings.
