1.0 Installation Instructions
a. When installing these units, it is important to comply with the most recently
established rules and regulations as deemed pertinent by the local and national
electrical, ventilation, sanitation, and fire codes. These units are classified
by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. as Electrically Heated Food Service Equipment.
b . Electric units must not be directly connected to a flue or exhaust vent. However ,
electric units may require operation in conjuction with a canopy type exhaust hood if
deemed necessary by local authorities.
c . The units must be installed in such a way that proper ventilation and heat exchange is
assured. The room must be ventilated in accordance to the valid codes and
regulations.
d . The units are to be installed securely and horizontally . The units may be installed on
combustible floors. The units must be installed with adjustable legs if placed on a
combustible surface.
e . The minimum clearance to the rear or side walls must be 13 inches. It is also
important to insure that the bottom of the units is kept clear so that proper ventilation
or air exchange can occur . Rear clerance can be reduced to 1" with the repalcement of
the rear glass with metal panels.
f. Normally , the units will be sent to the operator already set up for the particular
electrical service available at their location. However, unless otherwise specified, the
electric units are set up for 208 V , 3 Phase, 60 Hz use. Before installing and using the
units for the first time, it is important to make sure that the electrical power indicated
on the data plate matches the type of electrical power available in the location.
Should this not be the case, it is imperative to change or convert the units to the
needed types.
g. Electric units must be hard-wired or fitted with a power cord by a licensed
electrician.

1.4 Electrical Conversion and Adjustment Instructions
Before converting or adjusting the machine to another type of electricity , it is imperative that
electrical power to the machines should also be turned off. When converting, make sure that
the proper electrical diagram is followed and that the motor and timer match the connected
single phase voltage!
1.5 Cooking Cycle
In order to start the cooking cycle, the elements must be powered. The heating cycle will
start only when the following procedure is followed:
a. The TEMPERA TURE switch is turned to "on".
b. A cooking temperature must be set on the thermostat (i.e. 450°F).
c. The cooking timer must be activated (see Operating Instructions).
Once these steps are completed, the unit will call for heat and the cooking cycle will be
activated. The main contactor, which powers the heating elements, will stay on until the
set cooking temperature is reached, as sensed by the thermocouple attached to the thermostat.
With the temperature reached, the electrical power to the elements will be cut off as the
thermostat shuts off the power to the contactor . When the temperature drops below the set
point, electrical power is again sent to the heating system, thus starting the heating process
all over . The system will cycle on and off as needed to maintain the set cooking point.
Hickory Industries, Inc.
1.6 Maintenance, response to technical problems.
Should a technical problem arise for any reason, shut off the machine and call for technical
service.
A routine maintenance should be carried out at least once a year . Contact your local,
certified service company for maintenance.

1.6.1 Reasons for Problems and Solutions
Hickory Industries, Inc.
Problem
Unit does not heat.
Unit takes too
long to cook.
Cause
a . Rotisserie not "on".
a . T emperature set too low.
b . Timer is not properly set.
Solution
1. Make sure that the TEMPERA TURE
switch is on.
2. Thermostat must be set (i.e. 550°F).
The cooking timer must be operational
(cook cycle).
3. A red LED on the TEMPERA TURE
switch indicates that the contactor is
supplying power to the heating
elements.
4. Using the electrical diagram, make
sure that the entire system is fully
functional.
a . T o cook chickens, we suggest that the
temperature be set to MAXIMUM. If
the chickens are "burning", which is
usually due to sugars in the marinade
or rub, then the temperature must be
reduced accordingly .
b . When programming the timer , it will
only heat up the rotisserie when a
"cook pot" appears on the display .
Before setting a cooking time, make
sure that enough time is programmed!
c. Chicken are too big.
d. Not enough power is being
supplied to the unit.
e . The lower metal deflectors
are on backwards.
c. A load of 20 chickens, each about
3.25 lbs., will take about 1 hour and
30 minutes to cook in a 6400 Watt
unit. The larger the chickens, the
longer the cooking time.
d. Make sure that the hot, neutral, and
ground leads are properly matched up.
Also make sure that all of the phases
are live.
e . The two lower heating elements have
two concave deflectors which direct
the heat towards the center of the
chamber . A common error is to
cover the elements, preventing the heat
from reaching the center of the unit.

1.7 Spit Drive Mechanism
This unit is equipped with a planetary motion spit drive system. This means that each spit is
turning upon its axis at the same time that they turn about the center shaft. When the motor
switch is turned to on, the disks and the spits will begin to turn. Insure that the mechanism
turns smoothly when testing the unit.
Hickory Industries, Inc.
Aluminum Drive
Disk
Spit
Center Shaft
Before cooking, it is imperative that the center shaft be covered and protected with aluminum foil. This will
prevent fats from carbonizing on the shaft, making the removal of the aluminum disks much easier in the
future. If the shaft is not protected, it may eventually be impossible to remove the disks should there be a
problem in the spit drive mechanism.
The driven and the stationary drive gears are located behind the aluminum drive disk. These can be
viewed by taking out the removable aluminum disks. The driven gears and the stationary gear should
be viewed once a week to check for fat or carbonization build-up. Any fat or dirt should be cleaned
off since a build-up will eventually damage the drive system.

Replacing the front glass
Insert the screw on to the glass (use hi heat Loc-tite).
As a hint, start with the middle screw it will give you
some leverage with the glass.
Slowly turn the screw onto the glass bar - DO NOT
TIGHTEN. Make sure that you do not see any
threads or that the glass rests on the threads.
Make sure that when resting the glass on the
screws, it only rests on the un-threaded portion
of the screw (closest to the head of the screw).
Before moving glass make sure threads are inserted
onto metal spacer
Hickory Industries, Inc.
DO NOT TIGHTEN. This will ensure that you have
enough play to move the glass around without
bumping the glass.
Proceed with the remaining screws (use hi heat Loctite). Make sure that the glass is sandwiched between silicone washer and the silicone spacer .

Slightly turn each screw until snug. It should be snug
but loose enough to move . Adjust the glass so that
the spacing is even around the sides and bottom of
the machine. Y ou can now verify the glass spacing
with the side and the bottom of the machine.

If the glass is not evenly spaced, adjust the glass until
its evenly spaced.
CAUTION: If the screws are not snug enough, when
lowering the glass door, the glass my hit the screws
and chip the glass.
CAUTION: When tightening the screws, if the glass
shifts down, the glass door will be too close to the
roof of the machine when the glass door is shut.
Open door and tighten upper mounting screws.
Close the door and verify that the side and bottom
spacing is even all around.
Make sure all screws are tight and have been replaced
using hi heat Loc-Tite.
Hickory Industries, Inc.
Return equipment back to operating condition.
Caution
Operators should not use a razor blade
or knife to clean the glass.
Glass should not be cleaned with abrasives, soft scrub or any pad, i.e. Brillo,
Scotch Brite, scouring pad etc. This
will scratch the glass and render the
glass faulty.
Tempered glass will break if scratched,
shipped or mishandled in any way. It
can break in a day or a year. BUT IT
WILL BREAK.
