OCI OCIE26BQ Use And Care Manual - Using The Rotisserie Burner
USING THE ROTISSERIE BURNER
16
Your Grill is capable of performing back burner rotis cooking. The location of the rear burner allows the
placement of a rotis basting pan (not included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and
gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are especially
good with the addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to the basting pan. Light the rear burner as described
in the lighting instructions. Once lit, the rotis burner will reach cooking temperatures in about 1minute. The
orange/red glow will even out in about 5 minutes. The rotis motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of
turning up to a 25 lb. cut of meat or poultry.
WARNING:
When using rotis burner DO NOT use grill burn-
ers as this may cause injury or severe burns
The motor is mounted to a metal channel which attaches to the right side of the grill. The rotisserie motor
must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990. The skewer for the rotis is assembled into the motor assembly by placing
the pointed end into the motor, and resting the grooved bushing on the support at the opposite side of the grill.
With the skewer pushed as far as possible into the motor, the skewer should rest on the opposite side of the grill
body.
To load the skewer begin with the handle in place, and slide one of the meat holders (prongs facing away
from the handle) onto the skewer. Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide the second meat hold-
er (prongs toward the food) onto the skewer. Center the product to be cooked on the skewer then push the meat
holders firmly together. Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butchers
string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure insert the skewer
into the motor. It is normal for the skewer to flex when larger cuts of meat are being cooked.
Also, the motor is equipped with a halogen bulb (30, 36 & 48 models only) to provide light when other
sources of light are not sufficient. Use only a 50W Max. Halogen Narrow Flood replacement bulb.
Warning: Halogen lamps are constructed of a glass bulb with a pressurized internal tube that operates at
high temperatures and could unexpectedly shatter. should the outer bulb break, particles of extremely hot
glass could be discharged into the fixture enclosure and/or surrounding environment, thereby creating a risk
of personal injury or fire. When replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the light has
been turned off. Never allow the hot bulb to come into contact with water. DO NOT TOUCH the light bulb
when in use. They may be hot enough to cause injury.
After your first use of the rotis burner it is likely that the stainless steel adjacent to the burner will
darken to a dark blue color. This is a normal property of the stainless steel used on the Grill and does not
weaken the Metal.
WARNING: Keep the rotis motor electric cord away from the heated surfaces of the grill.
When not in use remove and store the motor in a dry location.
WARNING:
Electrical Grounding Instructions this appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly
into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug.
