WARNING
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for
your protection against electrical shock hazard. It should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.
OPERATING THE ROTISSERIE:
1. Your grill was pre-drilled from the factory to include mounting holes for the
Brinkmann Grand Elite SeriesTM Rotisserie.
2. Install the rotisserie motor onto the motor mount bracket.
3. Ensure that the rotisserie motor is turned to “OFF.”
Note: Rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 12 lb. cut of meat or poultry.
4. Place one fork onto the spit rod with the prongs facing away from the wooden
handle. Do not tighten set screw at this time.
5. Skewer meat with the spit rod and slide to the center of the rod.
6. Place second fork onto the spit rod with the prongs facing the meat.
7. Slide both forks tightly against the meat and securely tighten the fork set screws.
8. Check the balance of the food on the rod by rotating the loaded spit rod loosely
in your hands. The rod should rotate evenly with little effort. Adjust the food on
the spit to achieve a balanced assembly.
9. Place the loaded spit rod into the motor assembly and support bracket.
10. Close the grill lid and turn the rotisserie motor “ON.”
Note: Erratic noises from the motor are a sign of an unbalanced spit rod. Which
could cause severe damage to motor gears.
WARNING: Always use oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands. Metal parts
become hot during use. Use extreme caution when handling spit rod
and forks.
11. Always turn the rotisserie motor to “OFF” before opening the grill lid.

GRILLING TO PROPER TEMPERATURE:
• Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature.

accessory pages at the end of this manual.
• The US Department of Agriculture recommends the minimum temperature be reached
for the following food items:

HELPFUL HINTS
• If you pre-cook meat or poultry, do so immediately before grilling.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
• Spit rod and forks can be disassembled and washed in dish soap and warm water.
Note: All metal parts, with exception of the motor, are dishwasher safe.
