The appliance must be installed by a qualified
service technician. The oven must be properly
grounded in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and applicable local codes.
Plug the unit into a properly grounded receptacle
ONLY, positioning the unit so that the plug is
easily accessible in case of an emergency. Arcing
will occur when connecting or disconnecting the
unit unless all controls are in the “OFF” position.
Proper receptacle or outlet configuration or
permanent wiring for this unit must be installed
by a licensed electrician in accordance with
applicable local electrical codes.
After wiring and power connection has been
completed, turn the main power switch to the “ON”
position. The main power switch can be left “ON”
for daily use, but should be turned “OFF” when
cleaning or performing maintenance or repairs to
the rotisserie.
REGARDING INTERNATIONAL
STANDARD UNITS:
If the unit is not equipped with flexible cord
with plug, an all-pole country approved
disconnection device which has a contact
separation of at least 3mm in all poles must be
incorporated in the fixed wiring for disconnection.
When using a cord without a plug, the
green/yellow conductor shall be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the ground symbol.
If a plug is used, the socket outlet must be easily
accessible. If the power cord needs replacement,
use a similar one obtained from the distributor.
For 230V units: To prevent an electrical shock
hazard between the appliance and other
appliances or metal parts in close vicinity, an
equalization-bonding stud is provided. An
equalization bonding lead must be connected to
this stud and the other appliances / metal parts to
provide sufficient protection against potential
difference. The terminal is marked with the

Arotisserie can be stacked with another rotisserie or can
be stacked on top of a matching holding cabinet.
NOTE: The AR-7VH Ventless Hood cannot be installed
when a rotisserie is positioned at the bottom of the
stacking combination.
Only screws, lock washers, and hex nut are required to
fasten units together when stacking a rotisserie on top of a
matching holding cabinet. Additional stacking hardware is
required for all other combinations (SEE PREVIOUS PAGE).
All fastening holes have been prepunched. If the rotisserie
oven is positioned at the bottom of a stacked configuration,
make certain the oven is on a non-combustible surface. The
stacking combination also requires the minimum clearance
of 6-inches (152mm) at the back and both sides.

STA DARD SPITS
Each of the seven rotisserie spits includes two
welded prongs on the square end and one
welded, ridged prong on the tapered end. Insert
the two-prong, square end into the two holes
indicated on the disk assembly drive wheel in the
drawing. Insert the tapered, ridged-prong end
into the top hole indicated on the opposite side
and maneuver until the ridge catches in the hole.
OPTIO AL SPITS/BASKETS
When optional spits are used, insert the spits
in the drive wheel as indicated in the illustration.
When inserting the basket, put the smooth pin
(A) end in first. When removing the basket, the
machined pin (B) comes out first.
IMPORTA T OTE:
When using a partial quantity of standard or
optional spits, space the spits evenly as possible
around the drive wheel to maintain balance and
even rotation.
S P E C I A L AT T E N T I O N :
A combination of standard, piercing, and
basket spits can be used at the same time but OT
in every spit insertion position. The use of a spit
in every position will interfere with the free
rotation of the baskets. Using a combination of
spits can only be accomplished at significantly
reduced rotisserie capacity.
