Instructions for Use
1. Be sure unit is unplugged before starting. Clean all parts and accessories
with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
2. Rotisserie should be placed at least 8 inches from walls and should not be
positioned under cabinets.
3. Slide the drip tray into machine at the
base of unit.
4. Position the heat reflector by sliding along
the inside top towards the back and placing it
behind the heating element. Reflector should
fit neatly into grooves at the back of heating
element and should lead into the drip tray.
5. Do not exceed maximum load weight of
12 pounds. Trim any excess fat or loose
hangings from meat or poultry before
positioning in Rotisserie.
6. Tie the wings and legs of poultry together
with plain string or butcher’s twine to prevent
loose pieces from rubbing the inside of the
door, heat shield or heating element as the
spit rotates inside the Rotisserie.
7. Start with the end of a leg and loop a suitable
length of the string (about 12 inches) or twine
and tie-off. Bring the string to the next leg,
pull tightly and wrap once or twice around
the end and tie-off. Next, wrap approximately
36 inches (3 feet) of string or twine around the body of the bird making sure to
secure the wings and legs close to the body by wrapping crossways so there is a
big “X” of string or twine pulled tightly across the breast. Bring free end of string
to the leg again and tie-off with a secure or double knot. Cut off the excess string
or twine so it does not hang loose. The bird should now be a securely bound
bundle with no loose parts hanging from its body.
8. Open screw on adjustable fork then slide onto
spit rod with pointed ends facing each other.
9. If cooking one chicken or turkey, insert spit
rod lengthways through center of poultry,
starting at the breast area. If cooking two
small chickens or three cornish hens, insert
spit rod through side of poultry, starting
between the wing and thigh area.
10. Push food onto spit rod and into fork as
close to the fixed wheel
11. Place second fork onto spit rod and slide into meat, adjust both forks making sure
that meat or poultry is balanced on the spit. Make sure that forks are tightly fixed
on spit by securing screws tightly by hand.
12. To place spit rod into machine, place right hand under meat, use your left hand to
8

Page 8
firmly hold spit, place loaded spit into unit by
matching fixed wheel with gear to rotisserie
gear located on the right side of the unit.
13. If BBQ sauce is desired, it can be applied
to the meat or poultry by gently brushing on
with a basting brush after cooking process.
14. Close the glass door. Make sure that the unit
is at least 8 inches from the walls and is not
placed under cabinets.
12
15. Plug unit into outlet and turn unit on by setting timer to the desired cooking time.
16. Allow the food to rotate one or more times to ensure that nothing hits the heating
element, heat reflector or door. If necessary, turn timer off and adjust food.
17. If the right side of the spit “jumps” on the gear and does not rotate properly, the
poultry or meat must be set closer to the fixed wheel and balanced on the spit.
Turn unit off, unplug the cord and reposition food so that it will be weighted evenly
on the rotating spit. Plug cord into outlet and set timer to desired setting.
18. A bell will sound at the end of the cooking cycle indicating that the machine is off
and your food is ready. Unplug the electric cord.
19. At the end of the cooking cycle allow the Rotisserie to cool down for a few minutes
before removing the hot food. Be sure to wear protective gloves or oven mitt, while
handling hot food or a hot machine. Always assume that both the Rotisserie and
food are hot after cooking.
20. Once the unit has cooled down and while wearing protective gloves, remove drip
tray. Be careful: contents of drip tray are very hot.
21. With your right hand (in glove or oven mitt)
place a dish or platter below cooked meat, lift
platter under meat until you gently lift the spit
rod up and out of grooves and drive gear.
22. Place platter carefully on the counter.
23. Loosen screw on adjustable fork and slide
fork out of meat or poultry and off spit rod.
Be careful: food may be very hot and screws
may be slippery due to meat’s juices.
24. While holding the fixed wheel, use a fork or
20
gloved hand to gently push meat or poultry off
spit rod onto platter.
25. Disassemble the remaining removable fork from the spit rod. Wash with warm,
soapy water. Rinse all parts and accessories and dry thoroughly after every use.
We suggest that the Heat Reflector be removed and cleaned only as needed. It is
not necessary to clean after every use.
* Be very careful when handling spit rod and adjustable forks. The ends are very sharp and can cause serious injury if
not handled carefully.
* As with any other high-temperature appliance, some discoloration will occur after usage and does not indicate any
problem with the unit.

2. Be sure that the basket has been washed and dried before using. Use warm,
soapy water to wash and clean basket. The basket should be cleaned after each
use.
3. Place drip tray into position at the bottom of unit.
4. Release the basket lid by pulling the fastening
pins out of the positioning holes located at
both sides of the basket.
5. Remove the lid from basket.
6. Place food items into basket being sure that
food fits neatly into basket and that food items
cannot slip between basket’s grid.
7. Affix lid by placing the back of the lid into the
appropriate groove located at the back of the
basket. The basket is designed so that the lid will fit into the back at different levels
for varied thicknesses of food. Press the front of the lid down onto food; be careful
not to damage food within basket.
8. Use one hand to hold lid firmly against food
located within the basket, use other hand to
fasten pins in positioning holes located on
both sides of basket. Be sure that lid holds
the food firmly in place.
4
Note there are various holes to choose
from to hold food secure.
9. Turn basket upside down assuring that no
loose or small pieces of food will slip out of
basket. It is important that food within basket cannot fit through grid.
10. Place basket into machine with gears on the right side making sure that basket
is correctly inserted into the unit.
11. Close glass door and plug unit in.
12. Turn on timer to desired cooking time and observe the basket rotate one or
more times to be sure that food is secure and basket is rotating correctly and
that nothing is hitting the door, heating element or heat shield.
13. After timer has stopped and bell has rung, unplug electric cord and allow the
basket and food several minutes to cool down before removing.

Cooking Times
The cooking times provided by this chart are only a guideline to the APPROXIMATE
MINIMUM COOKING TIMES, based on test averages. Cooking times do vary because
of differences in meat, shape, size and the amount of fat and bone.
When cooking with the GE® Rotisserie, use a meat thermometer – it takes the guesswork
out of cooking. A meat thermometer measures the internal temperature of cooked
meat and poultry to assure that a safe temperature has been reached. By using a meat
thermometer, you can help prevent overcooking and cook foods at a safe temperature.
Use a regular, oven-proof type thermometer which goes into the food at the beginning
of the cooking time and can be easily read. Insert the point of the thermometer stem
at least 2 inches into the thickest part of the meat, away from bone, fat and gristle.
For poultry, insert the thermometer stem into the inner thigh area, near the breast
but not touching the bone. THE MEAT THERMOMETER MUST NOT TOUCH THE
HEATING ELEMENT WHEN THE BASKET OR SKEWER IS ROTATING.

Carving Tips
Carving Poultry
On a carving board, arrange the chicken or other poultry on its back with the legs
to the right. Remove string or twine used to bind legs and wings for cooking. Starting
at the side facing the carver, cut the leg off body by grasping the leg with your left
hand pulling gently while cutting through the meat and the joint at the thigh.
Place the leg on the carving board and cut through the joint to sever the thigh bone
from the drumstick. Slice the meat from the leg and thigh, carving parallel to the bone.
Insert the meat fork into the breast meat to secure the body. Sever the wing from the
body by carving through the joint.
Start carving the breast just above the joint where the wing was removed. Cut thin
slices of white meat, carving upward and cutting parallel to the breast bone.
Carving A Whole Ham, Pork Roast Or Roast Leg Of Lamb
Place a whole ham, pork roast or leg of lamb on the carving board with the shank end
to the right of the carver. For a ham, turn the scored fat side up. For the leg of lamb,
place the roast so that the meaty section faces away from the carver.
Insert a meat fork into the heavy part of the meat and cut several lengthwise slices
from the less meaty side.
Turn the ham, pork roast or leg of lamb so that it rests upright on the cut surface.
Cut a wedge from the shank end by starting at the base of the bulge and slicing
down to the leg bone. Then, make another cut at an angle to this, close to the shank
end. Lift out the wedge.
Starting at the shank end, cut thin uniform slices down to the leg bone.
Carving A Rib Roast
Arrange the roast on a platter or a cutting board with the largest end of the roast down,
and the rib side to your left. The small end of the roast is nearest the carver. Insert a
carving fork between the two top ribs.
Slice across the roast from the fat edge to the rib bone. Free the slice from the bone
using the tip of the knife.
