Shaft with mounted bird over the Center Heating Element and Drip Tray and lower the Tower with bird into the unit (D).

For Meat Preparation

Spray the Shaft with a non-stick cooking spray. Put a plate or tray under the meat and cut an “X” slit through the center of the roast big enough for you to slide the Shaft

through the entire length of the roast (E). Then push the roast onto the Shaft. Place the Shaft with mounted roast over the Center Heating Element (F). NOTE: With small roasts, you can use the Tower.

3. Put the Lid on the unit. Plug the unit in and press POWER. If the TIMER and Circular Display don’t start flashing and red lights don’t come on over the words HIGH and POULTRY, you may have to press the RESET button on the ALCI on the plug then press POWER again.

4. You MUST SET the Timer for the unit to operate. Use the charts (on pages 10-11) to determine how long your poultry or meat should cook based on its weight. You may set the timer for up to 99 minutes. Adjust the time by pressing the (+) or (-) and watching the minutes advance in the display. If you hold either button for one second, the time will advance quickly until you release.

5. For most roasting, you will use HIGH. You may switch to LOW by pressing the HEAT button again until the light over “LOW” is on (G). See the Charts (on pages 10-11) and Tips section (on page 7) for suggestions on using the LOW setting.

6. When powered on, the light under POULTRY will automatically be on and you’ll be all set to roast a chicken, small turkey, or Cornish hens. For ham, lamb, pork or beef roast, press the SELECT button to change the setting to MEAT.

7. When powered on, the Center Heating Element comes on indicated by the center light in the Circular Display. This element will help speed the cooking process by cooking from the inside out. For slower roasting, you can turn off the Center Heating Element by pressing the CENTER HEATER Button (H). The light in the center of the Circular Display at the right of the Control Panel will go out.

18. Press the START/PAUSE button and the ON

light will illuminate. DO NOT PUSH POWER –

it will cancel out your program. The Timer will begin to count down and 2 of the 3 lights in the Circular Display will stay on. As cooking progresses, you will see these lights alternate around the Circular Display with 1 or 2 lights on at any given time showing how the heat is circulating around the food. The heating elements will not glow red. You may want to check doneness of food using a standard meat thermometer in case you have to adjust for more cooking time.

19. When cooking is done, you will hear 3 beeps and the Timer will

flash “00.” Use a pot holder or oven mitt to remove the Lid. Be careful to avoid escaping steam.

10. Position a large plate or pan near the Rotisserie. Slip the Hook Handle into the Tab at the top of the Shaft. Lift the food out of the unit with the Hook Handle and place it on the plate. You may need to use both hands on the handle for larger birds or roasts (I1, I2).

11. Let food stand for 10-15 minutes. For poultry, press down on the Shaft to loosen it. Then pull the Shaft out and remove the Tower. Let the bird cool before cutting. For meats, lie the roast on a carving board. Some meat roasts tend to stick to the Shaft. Cut the meat lengthwise to loosen it from the Shaft.

Using the Skewers

1. The 6 skewers included with your unit are great for roasting

kabobs of meats, seafood, and vegetables. They can also be used to cook spareribs, pork chops, chicken parts, bratwurst, or London Broil. Spray the Drip Tray, Skewers, and inside of the Lid with a non-stick cooking spray.

2. For kabobs: cut tender beef, lamb, or chicken into 1-inch (25 mm)

cubes. Marinate, if desired. Thread the cubed pieces onto a skewer. For variety, alternate the meat pieces with veggies such as mushrooms, peppers, onions, cherry tomatoes, zucchini or other favorite veggies. You may also do shrimp kabobs.

3. Once food is in place, insert the Shaft through the center of the Tower. Stand each skewer into the holes on the 2 lower rings of the Tower (J) and place the Tower over the Center Heating Element. Put the Lid on the unit.

4. For kabobs with poultry or seafood pieces or for chicken parts, select the POULTRY setting. For kabobs with beef, lamb, or pork or other meats such as bratwurst, ribs, or chops, use the MEAT setting.

5. Consult the charts for suggested times for your specific food and set the Timer following the instructions in “How to Use.” Use the HIGH setting with the Center element on and press the START/PAUSE button. The ON light will illuminate. The Timer will begin to count down and 2 of the 3 Circular Display lights will stay on. As cooking progresses, you will see these lights alternate around the Circular Display with 2 lights on at any given time showing how the heat is circulating around the food.

6. When cooking is done, you will hear 3 beeps and the Timer will flash “00.” Use a pot holder or oven mitt to remove the Lid. Be careful to avoid escaping steam. Place the Lid on a heatresistant surface.

7. Slip the Hook Handle into the Tab at the top of the Shaft. Lift the Tower out of the unit by the Hook Handle and place the Tower onto a large tray or pan. Using a pot holder, carefully slide the food pieces off the skewers and serve.

TIPS FOR COOKING WITH YOUR SMART ROTISSERIE™

11. Always spray parts with non-stick spray for easier cleanup. This includes the

inside of the Lid, which may become covered with burnt on-grease vapors.

12. Use a tray, or large flat baking pan (like a 13” x 9” x 3”/33cm x 23cm x 8cm)

when positioning meats and birds on the Tower. Be sure the pan is on a flat surface. This also works well when checking doneness, and/or removing cooked foods.

13. When cooking whole poultry, always try to use the Tower to help keep the bird higher in the unit

and out of the drippings. If necessary, cut the bottom cavity slightly larger to fit over the

Tower. If the bird doesn’t fit on the Tower, use only the Drip Tray and Shaft. If the bird seems very low in the unit, thread an orange on the Shaft first to help raise the bird up

out of the Drip Tray.

14. This product has High and Low heat settings. High is generally recommended

since it cooks foods more quickly and gives the best browning and crisping. You may want to experiment with the Low setting. It works well for pot roasts and is good when using sauces that tend to overbrown if cooked at a high temperature. You may wish to start foods on the High setting, and then switch to Low if foods are overbrowning or cooking too quickly.

15. Since this product cooks quickly, some foods do not brown well,

including hot dogs, link sausage, and 2 chickens at a time.

16. Remember, large birds (like a 10 lb./4.54 kg turkey) cook at a faster

rate per pound/kg than small birds (like a 1.5/.70 kg Cornish hen).

17. Try to select roasts that are evenly shaped for more even cooking. When positioning roasts

on the Shaft, be sure the Shaft is centered in the roast. If the roast has a narrow and

large end, position the large end up. It’s more important for the Shaft to be centered in the large end, than the small end.

18. Be sure to position the roast at the top of the Shaft rather than near the bottom. With some short,

wide roasts, it may be possible to let the roast rest on top of the Tower positioned on the Shaft.

19. When removing roasts from the Shaft, (especially small ones, like pork tenderloin), consider

cutting the roast off the Shaft by slicing it in half lengthwise. This will result in 2 long lengths of meat that can then be sliced into serving pieces.

10. As with an oven roasted chicken or roast, let the cooked food cool for 10-15 minutes outside

the Rotisserie prior to slicing to give the juices a chance to settle.

1. Unit does not turn on, or will not get hot.

•Did you plug the unit in?

•Try resetting the Test Button on the plug.

•Remember, you MUST set the Timer before pushing the Start/Pause button.

2. Timer will not advance.

•Timer buttons must be pushed directly head on.

•To advance time quickly, push and hold a Timer button for 1 full second.

3. Some smoke is visible during use.

•During first use, it is normal to have some smoke coming from the unit. Smoke from food splatters on subsequent use is also normal.

•Did you wipe out the interior of the unit after the last use?

•Is roast or poultry touching the heating elements? Did you tie chicken wings in so they won’t touch the heating elements?

•Is fat and dripping spattering onto the heating elements during cooking?

4. Grease/drippings run down underneath Drip Tray and may ooze out onto counter.

•Make sure the Drip Tray is properly in place.

•During use, some drippings may spatter onto interior walls and run down into the bottom of the unit, bypassing the Drip Tray. Drippings may also run down the center area, collecting in the bottom.

•Does the food being cooked have a high quantity of fat? You may have to pause halfway through cooking, remove the roast/bird, and then carefully empty the Drip Tray.

•If cooked food is allowed to stand in the unit to cool, condensation will collect and run down the interior walls to the bottom of the unit.

•Be sure the Rotisserie is completely cooled down before attempting to clean the inside.

5. Meat roasts cook unevenly.

•Did you thread the roast onto the Shaft evenly? Roasts need to be centered on the Shaft toward the top of the unit to cook evenly.

•Was the roast oddly shaped, with a small pointed end and a large wide end?

•Try cooking a roast without the center element on for more typical cooked results.

6. There’s a hole in the middle of the roast.

•This is typical of any roast that is cooked on a rotisserie-type appliance.

•Since the center heating element helps cook the roast, the hole in the meat may be a little more noticeable than from other rotisseries. However, the roasts also cook much more quickly.

•To try to minimize the Shaft hole, turn off the center element. It will take longer to cook, but the hole will be much less noticeable.

7. Meat roasts stick to Shaft.

• Did you remember to grease the Shaft before loading the roast?

• Is the roast very lean? Remember to let the roast stand about 10 minutes before trying to

remove it from the Shaft.

• Try loosening the meat from around the top and bottom of the Shaft. Then push the top of

the Shaft down through the meat. If it’s still stuck, cut the roast lengthwise down one entire side, then slip the Shaft out. Cut the roast on the other side, so that you have 2 lengthwise pieces. Slice the roast crosswise into thin serving slices.

8. Turkeys will not fit in unit.

• Remember, the maximum size is 10 lbs./4.54 kg. Anything larger might not fit.

• Some turkeys will not fit on the Tower. You may have to position it on the Shaft without

the Tower.

19. Turkey breast hits the heating elements.

• Some turkey breasts are hard to position. Try to center them as much as possible, using the Tower.

• Use string and Skewers to help keep the turkey breast in place.

10. The roasts and poultry are not thoroughly done.

• The times in the Use and Care Book are approximate. To be sure a roast or bird is done to your liking, use a meat thermometer. Remove the food from the unit, placing the food on a plate or pan. Then test for doneness.

IMPORTANT: Always allow the unit to cool completely before cleaning!

1. When finished cooking, unplug the unit from the outlet.

2. Carefully lift the Removable Drip Tray out of the unit (K) and pour off grease into a disposable cup or can.

3. The Drip Tray, Tower, Hook Handle, Shaft, Lid, and Skewers are all dishwasher-safe or may be washed by hand in soapy water. Over time, the Tower, Shaft, and Skewers will discolor. This is normal. The Lid may have to be scrubbed with cleanser and a bristle brush to remove burnt-on grease.

4. Wipe the interior of the unit and the Center Heating Element with a damp sponge or cloth and some dish detergent made to break up grease. To clean spatters behind the internal heating elements, carefully slide a damp paper towel or sponge with detergent behind the element; then dry with a clean paper towel.

5. To remove cooked-on food from the interior or the glass window, use a plastic bristle brush or polyester or nylon mesh pad with grease-breaking detergent. Do not use steel wool pads or other harsh, abrasive cleaners on the interior surfaces as they may damage the nonstick coating. Never spray or apply cleaners directly onto the interior surface.

6. Be sure to wipe up any spills in the bottom of the unit after each use. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Store the Hook Handle in a notch under one of the Side Handles.
