IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
Taken, including the following:
These 2 items:
using your Rotisserie
1.
Very important: Read all instructions and watch instructional video before using the machine.
2.
To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance itself in water or other
liquids.
3.
Do not touch hot surfaces. (NOTE: Glass door, top, back and sides of the rotisserie, as well as the 3-
Piece Food Steamer, Drip Tray, Grate Cover and Heating Element all get very hot during use and retain
heat after use – even when glass door is positioned underneath the unit) Always use adequate oven mitts
or gloves when handling these hot surfaces and when checking hot foods.
4.
Close supervision is necessary when appliance is used by or near children.
5.
Unplug rotisserie from outlet when not in use, and allow unit to cool thoroughly before putting on or
taking off parts, such as the Drip Tray and Grate Cover before cleaning.
6.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug after the appliance malfunctions or is
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to Popeil Inventions, Inc. for examination,
repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
7.
Turn off and unplug the rotisserie if you smell or see smoke or fire. After it has cooled down, make
adjustments so nothing touches the heating element as the food rotates. Do not open the glass door until
it has cooled down. This is an electrical appliance, never put water in it, or on it, to cool it down or stop
it from smoking.
8.
Do not use any attachments or anything that is not recommended by Popeil Inventions, Inc. The use of
such items may be hazardous.
9.
Do not use outdoors.
10.
Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
11.
Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven or near easily flammable
material.
12.
Use only on a stable, heat-resistant surface and place unit at least 8” (inches) from walls and at least 8”
(inches) clear above unit.
13.
To disconnect, turn machine Timer to “OFF” position, then grip plug and pull from wall outlet. Do not
pull on cord.
14.
Always unplug the oven before attempting to move it. Never move the unit when it contains hot oil,
liquids or hot foods.
15.
Use extreme caution when working near the hot pieces and the Heating Element after using rotisserie as
these parts become (and remain) very hot. Also use maximum care when removing DripTray or disposing of
hot grease or other hot liquids.
Grate Cover and Drip Tray must always be in place when
16. When using the Rotisserie Baskets, be sure no small bones or other food can fall between or extend
beyond the wires and catch on the Grate Cover or Heating Element or anything else during rotation. It is
important to check while cooking. If the food is still not tight, stop the machine and carefully take out
the basket and tighten the lid.
17.
Do not clean with a metal scouring pad. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating
a risk of electrical shock. In addition, scouring pads may damage rotisserie finish.
18.
Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.
19.
Oversized foods or metal utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they may create a fire or risk
of electrical shock.
20.
Front, back, top, bottom and side surfaces become very hot. Do not allow contact with any objects other
than Steaming/Heating Tray in its proper operating position. A fire may occur if the rotisserie is covered
or touching flammable material, including curtain, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
21.
Do not place, or store, any objects or material other than food and manufacturer’s recommended
accessories in the rotisserie.
22.
Unplug unit before changing/replacing the interior light bulb (25-watt small appliance bulb).
23.
Polarized Electrical Plug: To reduce the hazard of potential shock, this item has a polarized plug (one
prong is wider then the other), which will fit only one way in a polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit
the outlet properly, turn the plug the other way; if it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for
assistance. Never use this plug with an extension cord unless it fits properly. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
DEFEAT THIS SAFETY FEATURE
24.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCIONS: A short cord is provided to reduce the risks of becoming tangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use and the wattage
rating is at least as great as the wattage stamped on the back of the appliance. If an extension cord is
used, it should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be reach by
children or tripped over accidentally.
THIS PRODUCT IS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Please Don’t Take “Set It and Forget It” Literally
Always use caution by checking your Rotisserie from time to time.
It is highly unlikely, but if you should see or smell smoke it’s because the food is rubbing against the hot
Heating element. This indicates that the meat or poultry is too big or it wasn’t tied properly – or the food is
off-center (lopsided) on the spit rods. If this occurs. Turn off and unplug your machine. Do not open
the glass door. Let it cool down.
Trim any excess fat or mat, retie your food tightly and be sure the food is centered on the spit rods so it
always rotates without touching the heating element.
Grease Flickers? Foods with high fat content can produce a small flicker of flame as fat spatters off the
heating element. This is normal. However, if you see smoke or fire, turn off and unplug the machine and
let it cool off. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR until it has cooled down. Never put water on the
Rotisserie. After it has cooled, check to see if the food has touched the heating element.
Never cook food larger than recommended in the booklet for your model of Showtime
™ Rotisserie.

Cleaning and Caring for your Rotisserie & BBQ Oven
Before First Use Be sure rotisserie is not plugged in. Wash and dry the removable parts in warm soapy
water. Never immerse the machine or the cord in water. Keep at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides
and do not place it under a cabinet when in use. A little smoking is normal when you first use the
machine.
The Door Set the right side pin in the bottom first then slide the left pin in.
After Use Unplug and allow it to cool before washing any parts. Note: The Heating Element cleans
itself and no other maintenance is necessary.
The Light is on when the heat is on. If you need to replace the bulb, it uses a 25 watt appliance bulb.

CONTENTS & ACCESSORIES
CAUTION
: Keep at least 8”clearance all around from walls, cabinets and other objects when using the
rotisserie to prevent heat damage. Don’t put charcoal briquets, hickory chips or anything else in the machine
that is not authorized by Popeil Inventions, Inc.
Do not use under cabinets.
Very Important: Always put the Drip Tray and Grate Cover in place before operating
Never operate the Rotisserie without the Drip Tray and Grate Cover in place.
Helpful Hint: Use a strip of aluminum foil on your counter top under the front door opening to collect any
grease or moisture from roast beef during cooking.
Gear Wheel fits on the spit rods after food or basket is loaded in place.
Careful! Use Caution. Tips are sharp. Please Keep Hands Clear.
Spit Rods are connected to one Gear Wheel. Place the other Gear Wheel on after loading food.
Plastic Spit Loading Base keeps the Spit Assembly in place so you can load food in upright position
on a countertop or in a sink.
Kabob Rods (Accessories) Fits right in the holes on the Gear Wheels. After loading with food, carefully
insert the sharp end in the Gear Wheel first. See page 14
A Squeak? Put a drop or two of vegetable oil or olive oil on the Gear Wheel nub before inserting the Spit
Rod Assembly into the machine – Or use a straw to drop oil on the nubs while turning. But be careful if you
do it when the machine is turning or if it is hot.
INSTRUCTIONS
Rotisserie Basket
Recommend for hamburgers, chicken pieces, vegetables, whole fish and fish fillets, steaks, chops, cutlets
tri-tip roasts and all kinds of wraps – fish, meat, and vegetables! Be sure small pieces like chicken wing
tips don’t fall out the ends and catch as basket rotates.
After putting food into the basket, compress the basket lid very tight so no food can move around while
rotating. Be sure nothing extends out between the wire –like chicken wings or any small bones, etc.
After the basket is loaded and closed, set the Spit Rods in the gray Plastic Spit Loading Base. Line up the two
small loops on the Basket with the Spit Rods. Drop the Basket down on the Spit Rods, and match it to the
corresponding loops on the other end of the Rotisserie Basket.
Place the other Gear Wheel on the Spit Rods and just push down.
For example, keep the small bones of chicken wings securely toward the middle so they can’t slip out and
hang up on Grate Cover or Heating Element.
Check baskets occasionally and be sure the food is still tight. If not, stop the machine and carefully take out
the basket and tighten the lid.
When the food in the basket is done, you cam remove the basket by keeping it in a horizontal position.
Remember the food, basket and the Spit Assembly are HOT – take precautions.
Burnt Edges on Food? You can put a small strip of aluminum foil on the top and bottom edges inside the
basket to prevent burnt edges as it cooks.
Always use Caution with Hot Food and Metal Parts. The food, Basket and the Spit Assembly get HOT!
Always wear protective gloves when removing the basket. If you feel the optional gloves are not adequately
insulated enough to protect you from the hot surfaces you are handling, set whatever you are holding
down. You may want to use a thicker oven glove or mitt.
INSTRUCTIONS / BASKETS
Elastic Food Ties For Chickens
Elastic Food Ties are designed to be an easy-to-use method of securing poultry on the Spit Rods. It is very
important when using your Showtime™ Rotisserie that food is securely tied, and fits onto the Spit Rods so that
the food will not touch the Heating Element and is evenly centered all around.
It is recommended that you first remove any excess fat or loose hanging parts, as well as cut off the tail from
the chicken.
The illustration shows how to tie a bird with one or two ties.
Using 1 Tie
With one tie you go behind each wing, cross overt the back and pull it over the bottom of the bird and up the
front to hold the legs together. Then tuck the wings inside the tie.
If a Food Tie is too long, you can shorten it by tying a knot in it and cut off the excess with scissors.
Using 2 Ties
Using two ties, shorten then both and put one over the wings and one over the legs. Very easy.
