Installation, Operation and Care of
HGFR GAS-FLAMED ROTISSERIE OVEN
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
The model HGFR Series Gas-Flamed Rotisserie Oven features stainless steel interior and exterior for
ease of cleaning. Infrared ceramic gas burners efficiently roast the product. The rotisserie rotates the
product on spits as it revolves around the rotisserie oven. The product roasts evenly and self-bastes
throughout the cooking process. The drip pan's water bath system in the bottom of the rotisserie oven
adds moisture during roasting, catches the fat drippings (reducing the chance of fire) and facilitates
easy cleanup. This rotisserie oven has been exclusively designed to grill meat products. A see-through
window option is available.

OUTLET TO WHICH THIS PLUG IS CONNECTED MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. IF THE
RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN.
Do not plug in until after the gas connection has been made and checked for leaks.
GAS CONNECTION
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must
be resistant to the action of propane gas. Codes require that
a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the
rotisserie oven; use the valve provided. A gas pressure
regulator is supplied with the rotisserie oven.
Connect the rotisserie oven to a 1" (
2.5 cm) gas supply line
(Fig. 9). Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions,
dirt and piping compound. Connecting the rotisserie oven to
a smaller gas supply line is not recommended because this
will reduce the effectiveness of the burners or cause improper
operation.
WARNING: PRIOR TO STARTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN
THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND
WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
For natural gas, adjust the gas pressure regulator to provide a manifold pressure of 5.5" W.C. (
The minimum supply pressure for natural gas is 7" W.C. (
1.74 kPa); maximum is 14" W.C. (3.49 kPa).
For propane, adjust the gas pressure regulator to provide a manifold pressure of 11" W.C. (
The minimum supply pressure for propane is 12" W.C. (
2.98kPa); the maximum is 14" W.C. (3.49kPa).
