2.3 Working with the Rotisserie
Grilling Temperature
The desired temperature in the rotisserie can only be set by turning elements on or off.
Having all elements "on" is for the high setting and represents about 540°F. The grilling
temperature can be reduced by turning every other element off.
As a general rule, the higher the grilling temperature, the shorter the cooking time.
However, when working with the Old Hickory rotisserie, one must consider that the
temperatures will vary from top to bottom. The top of the unit will have higher
temperatures due to the natural convection. The cooking temperatures indicated above
refer to the top section of the machine. For this reason, the product on the top spits will
be cooked faster than the product on the lower spits.
This factor allows for continuous cooking. As the top spits are ready, they should be
removed. The spits directly below should then be moved up one spit position, thus freeing a
spit position at the bottom of the unit. This bottom position can then be loaded with fresh,
raw product. By loading raw product to the bottom, there is no danger of cross
contamination.
WARNING: The only way to be sure that the product is completely cooked is by
taking the internal temperatures. For example, with poultry, the
internal temperature must be at least 185°F at the inner side of the thigh.
For example, when preparing chicken.
a. After the unit has been ignited and it has warmed up for at least 15 minutes, load
all spits with chicken.
b. Depending on the size and weight of the chickens, check the internal temperature of
a chicken (on the inner thigh) on the top spit after approximately 55 minutes. If the
internal temperature exceeds 185°F, remove the top spit.
c. Move the remaining spits up one spit position. The bottom spit position should
now be free.
d. Add a new spit, loaded with raw chickens, to the bottom spit position.
e. Repeat this procedure as needed during the day.
f. After the "rush" has ended and demand has decreased, turn the manifold valve
knobs to the low temperature settings. This will keep the product in the rotisserie
hot over a long period of time, without burning the product.

2.5 Daily Cleaning
The rotisserie should be cleaned on a daily basis.
1. The exterior should be cleaned with a stainless steel cleaner.
2. The glass should be cleaned with a soft cloth and degreaser. If necessary, a plastic
scraper can also be used to remove carbon when using a degreaser.
WARNING! The glass must be cool. Do not use steel wool or abrasives to clean
3. The spits and drip pans should be removed from the machine and cleaned
thoroughly with a degreaser.
the glass! This will weaken the tempered glass and could cause it
to shatter.

4. Before cleaning the interior surfaces carefully cover, protect, or remove all ceramics.
5. The interior stainless steel surfaces can be sprayed with a degreaser for best results.
6. For best results on the interior metal, use a steam cleaner or a scrubbing sponge. Be
careful not to use excessive water since this could damage the insulation on the rear,
side, and front panels.
7. The filters in the exhaust hood must be cleaned as required by the manufacturer.
2.6 Important Information
In case of repairs, only an approved and certified service technician should be called in.
The installation can only be carried out by a certified installer. Otherwise, the warranty
will be null and void.
