the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

The “SELECT” Button controls the Heating Elements. By being
able to control the Heating Elements, you can adjust the browning
if the food is cooking/browning unevenly. Each of the Heating
Elements is represented by an LED above the “SELECT” Button.
The four LEDs match the four Heating Elements inside the
Rotisserie Oven. The LED on the top corresponds to the Heating

Button is to turn on the Front and Back Heating Elements.
However, we recommend you begin cooking with all four heating
elements turned on. Then, as necessary, you may adjust the
number of heating elements used to either slow down or speed up
the cooking process.

Introduction
Your George Foreman Rotisserie Oven is a combination Rotisserie
and Oven. With a powerful motor, large cooking area, and heavyduty Rotisserie Bar the Rotisserie Oven will beautifully and evenly
cook an extra-large turkey!
Complete with all the accessories you’ll need, your George
Foreman Rotisserie Oven allows you to cook anything from delicate
fish or vegetables to large poultry items and even a pizza! Cook
fish or hamburgers in the Adjustable Basket or cook “guilt-free”
air-baked fries in the Roasted Veggies/Air Bake Basket. Any way
you cook it—it’s healthy and delicious!
ROTISSERIE
Foods which are cooked on a Rotisserie are extra flavorful,
because they are self-basted with their own juices. Foods are more
healthful as fat can drip down, away from food during cooking.
Food to be cooked on the Rotisserie must be no longer than 12
inches. This allows the entire piece of food to be over the Heating
Elements. Weight of food to be cooked is less important than
length.
Carefully center food (especially food with a bone in it) on Rotisserie
Bar, as unbalanced food will cause a jerking motion during cooking.
This causes undue stress on the Motor. Use the Meat Tines to center the food and secure onto Rotisserie Bar with End Brackets.
When using 4-prong Meat Tines for extra-large cuts of meat, you
may eliminate the End Brackets (to make more room on Rotisserie
Bar). Properly centered food can usually be judged by sight; however, test for balance by rotating the Rotisserie Bar with your
hands. You will feel a “jerking” motion if the food is not balanced
properly. Adjust food as necessary.
To ensure proper cooking, set food as close to the Heating
Elements as possible without allowing the food to touch the
Heating Elements. Use cooking string to tie poultry at wings and
legs. This will compact the bird so no parts touch the Heating
Elements.
