Screw the gas hose at the end of the rotisserie tubing, tightening it only by hand. Place two
appropriate tools (one on the tubing to keep it from moving, and the other on the hose
coupling) and tighten the coupling on the hose.
Assemble the hose so that the hose is left hanging in a “U” form.
When the connection is terminated, perform a pressure test to check the sealing of the
rotisserie. When checking the sealing, make sure not to use washing-up liquid, which could
damage the appliance; instead, use a foam liquid specially intended to detect leaks.
Sealing must be ensured by tightening 2 sealing surfaces beyond the threading with an
appropriate sealing joint between them. To ensure the correct level of sealing along the
threading, a sealing compound or joining compound should be applied to the threading.
If a sealing compound has to be used, we recommend LOCTITE 542.
For appliances operating with BUTANE / PROPANE gas, use two cylinders with an
automatic reversing switch or an outdoor tank, and a standard regulator adapted to the total
flow rate for your model and the gas pressure.
We advise you to use a 2 kg/h minimum regulator.
As a general rule, an additional safety margin corresponding to 20 – 30% of the appliance’s
maximum flow rate must be respected.
To guarantee constant pressure from the gas supply, the regulator should not be placed more
than 2 m from the appliance.
Each appliance must have its own regulator.
1. TESTS
The “Broche Flamberge” gas spit is fitted with an automatic burner turn-on and with a
shut-off tap with thermocouple: if the burner should accidentally go out, the gas supply is
automatically shut off after a few seconds.
The thermocouple should not be activated for more than 15 seconds; if, after this time, the
burner has not ignited, you should stop attempting to ignite, and wait at least one minute
before attempting to reignite the burner.
To ignite the spit,proceed as follows:
- Push in the control lever and turn it to the left to the “high flame” position. The
burner turns on automatically.
- Keep the control lever pressed in for between 5 to 10 seconds (on first igniting the
spit, the safety thermocouple may take longer to react, without however exceeding 15
seconds). A “tick-tick” noise means that the spit ignited correctly.
- To turn down the flame (“low flame”), turn the level to the left as much as possible or
put it head downwards.
- To switch off the flame, turn the lever to the vertical position turning it to the right.
In the case of accidentally turning off the burner flame, close the burner control level and do
not turn on the burner for at least one minute.
When the rotisserie is used for first time, there may be a slight smell of
“newness”; this will rapidly disappear with time.
