What To Do If You Smell A Gas Odor
Natural gas is lighter than air, and it has a very high ignition
temperature. For your protection, The Gas Company adds a distinctive
odor to natural gas, so leaks are easily detected.
If you smell a Natural gas or a Propane gas odor:
DON’T panic.
DON’T light a match, candle or cigarette.
DON’T turn electrical appliances or lights on or off.
For safety, a shut-off valve was installed on this appliance. If a leak
occurs at this appliance, the valve will permit you to turn off the gas at the
appliance rather than shutting off all gas service at the meter.
SHUT off the appliance shut-off valve.
· From a safe location, call your local Gas Company 24 hours a day,
seven days a week; or call 9-1-1.

After the gas supply has been connected to your unit, it is extremely important to check piping
for possible leaks. To do this, use soap and water solutions, or solutions which are expressly
made for this purpose. DO NOT USE matches, candles, flames, or other sources of ignitions
since these methods are extremely dangerous.
In a prominent location post instructions to be followed in the event you smell gas. Obtain these
instructions from your local gas supplier.
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage,
injury or death. Read the Installation, Operating and Maintenance Instructions thoroughly before
installing or servicing this equipment. Initial heating of oven may generate smoke or fumes and
must be done in a well ventilated area. Overexposure to smoke or fumes may cause nausea or
dizziness.

I. INITIAL STEPS
A. Placing the Machine
Barbecue products are often bought on impulse. The 5.5G rotisserie model has been designed for
maximum viewing by both the customers as well as the operator. The unit usually has a front and
back glass surface and should be placed where it will get the best and most exposure. Wherever
the unit is placed, remember that the operator will need continual access through the glass doors.
If placed on a counter, table, or case, care should be taken to secure the unit so that it cannot be
dislodged.
WARNING: THESE MACHINES ARE OVENS AND SHOULD NEVER BE PLACED
WITHIN PUBLIC ACCESS FOLLOW MINIMUM CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS
FOR ALL UNITS AS PER SPECIFICATION GUIDES.
B. Assembling the Machine
The unit comes with a gas shut-off valve and gas regulator. It is set at the factory. The gas shut off
valve must be installed on the rotisserie first and then the pressure regulator. If these are not installed,
it will void the warranty. The spits, skewers, baskets, thumb screws or any other cooking accessory
ordered, are individually packed and should be cleaned and sanitized. Check all parts and accessories
match with your packing list. Remove all tape on glass and vinyl coating on stainless steel before
operating the machine.
C. Electrical Connection
The unit must be connected to a properly grounded 120V NEMA 5-15 outlet. Removing the grounding
prong on the cord will void the warranty. WARNING: The outlet must be properly polarized due to the
flame safety monitoring module on the unit. Connecting the unit to an improper outlet will cause flame
failures.
D. Gas Connection
Gas connections must be performed by a licensed gas fitter. The unit is supplied with a main shut
off valve (gas cock) and a pressure regulator preset at the factory. The gas shut off valve must be
installed on the rotisserie first and then the pressure regulator. If these are not installed, it will
void the warranty. Maximum inlet pressure to the unit must be 7". The units regulator is set at the
factory for proper operation at 5.5" of pressure .
E. Venting
All gas units require venting and should be vented under a hood. The installer must check with
local and state agencies for proper venting. The model 5.5G should be placed under a filtered
hood.

II. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.0 Switches
There are three switches on the operating panel.
1. The light switch will activate the interior lighting of the machines.
2. The motor switch will activate the motor that turns the spits.
3. The temperature switch supplies power gas monitoring circuit. With this switch
off, the infra-red gas generator will never light up. This switch will illuminate when
the unit is calling for heat and will shut off when the unit has reached temperature.
2.0 Timer
The time and temperature controller controls the duration the unit cooks and temperature. It has a
hold feature and also has 12 pre-programmed recipes from the factory. These recipes can be
changed to fit your needs. Instructions on the timer were included with the unit. You can also view
them on-line at www.hickorybbq.com.
3.0 Gas Units
The gas units are shipped "ready to ignite" once they are connected to a gas line by a licensed
plumber or gas fitter. See electrical connection on page 6.
WARNING: THE UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH THREE PRONGED (GROUNDING) PLUGS FOR
YOUR PROTECTION AGAINST SHOCK AND HAZARD AND SHOULD BE
PLUGGED DIRECTLY INTO A THREE-PRONG RECEPTACLE. DO NOT CUT OR
REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THIS PLUG.

3.0 Gas Units (continued)
Preheat the oven before cooking. Turn the motor and temperature switches on. On the time and
temperature controller, press the "Read" button and locate recipe #12 with the "Up" and "Down"
arrow keys; hit the "Start Stop" button. Recipe #12 is set to cook at 575F for 15 minutes.
WARNING: If the burner "locks out" (shut off), simply turn off the temperature switch Off and
then On again. This action will reset the ignition system.
CAUTION: The are fragile. Make sure you wipe them down weekly to prevent cleaning residue
or carbon from adhering to the ignitors. In case of a "lock out", wipe the ignitors with scotch
brite for better sensing. Do Not spray chemicals on the burner or ignitor. Chemicals on the
ignitor will weaken the ignitor and cause failures. Chemicals on the ignitor will penetrate the
burner and breakdown the burner.
After preheating the oven, you can use the oven. Set your cooking time by pressing the "Cook
Time" button and set your cooking time with the "Up and Down" buttons. Set your cooking temperature by pressing the "Cook Temp" button and set your cooking temperature with the "Up and
Down" buttons. When you loaded your product and are ready to cook, simply press the "Start Stop"
button. The unit will cook for the time entered and will beep at the end. Pressing the "Time"
button will add five minutes to the cook. Pressing the "Hold" button will put the unit in hold if the
hold temperature has been set. Setting the hold temperature to OFF defeats the hold cycle. To set
a hold temperature, press the "Hold" button and set your holding temperature with the "Up and
Down" buttons.
4.0 General Information
Fill the drip pan at least 1/2 full with water and replenish as required. The water evaporates and
creates a moist environment for your product to cook in. Allow all models to preheat for 15 minutes.
5.0 Spitting Chickens
The most important part in getting started with a rotisserie is knowing how to properly spit the
product. This is quite easy, but it must be learned! As an operator, you will become an expert in
spitting chickens within half an hour! There are two types of commonly used spits: the angle spit
and the regular spit. The following pages describe and show how spitting is done with both these
types of spits.

A. Using Angle Spits
Hickory Industries, Inc.
Figure 1. Chickens Ties
When using a “V” or angle spit, it is very important
to tie or truss the product being cooked. This
prevents the product from moving around the spit
and also prevents damage by preventing the legs
and wings from flopping. In this section, we will
show how to properly truss a chicken. It is important to use a tie to fit the size of the product. In this
case, we are tieing a 2 3/4 lb. chicken with a 6” tie.
Figure 2. Trussing Wings
With the back of the chicken facing up, take the tie
and wrap it around the breast, making sure to tuck
the wings against the breast. Pull on the tie as
pictured. You will also need to hold the chicken
with your other hand.
4900 Westside Avenue, North Bergen, New Jersey 07047
Figure 3. Trussing Across Back
While pulling on the tie, cross the strings so that
you make an “X” across the back of the chicken.
With the “loop” in your hand, you will now need to
tie the legs of the chicken.
