2. DESCRIPTION OF THE UNIT
2.1 Technical description
The unit uses a combination of direct infra-red radiation and convection heat. A maintenance-free
motor with gear box drives the rotor. The fan provides an equally divided heat. The glass panes
are equipped with a heat reflecting layer to keep the heat inside the grill. Halogen lamps are used
to light the unit during operation.
The plating of the unit is made of stainless steel. The product contact parts are made of stainless
steel AISI 304. The mains cable is provided with a plug.
The intelligent control keeps the temperature inside the unit fixed to level set by the operator. The
intelligent control has a capability to store many different programs. Each program can consist of a
pre-heat and additional steps in which the cooking time and temperature can be set.
Communication through USB / WIFI (optional) enables easy read-out, re-work and creating of
programs via a PC. For this, special software is available at Fri-Jado.

EN 15 / 36
4.3 Loading the unit
When the door is open press the rotor button to activate the rotor. This allows easy loading or
unloading the products.
Whilst loading the unit, make sure that the rotor gets evenly loaded, so that the mass of the
products is evenly spread over the rotor, causing an equal balance. Do not allow empty meat forks,
meat baskets and chicken racks etc. in the grilling process.
4.3.1 Loading the rotisserie using meat forks
The unit will be equipped with a set of meat forks.
Whole uncut chickens should always be grilled using the meat forks. This way their
natural fat will baste each other, giving a perfectly slender cooking result.
Refer to the You-Tube movie: “Fri-Jado instruction for binding and loading chicken”.

For preparing chicken or any other poultry, you can work as follows:
1. Insert one point of the meat fork through the chest at the position of the wings.
Insert the other point through the drum sticks. Don’t forget to include the wings.
2. Leave some space between the products, for an even exposure and browning.
3. Put the meat forks onto the rotor disks in such a way that during grilling the chicken
breasts face the operator.
4. Put the points of the meat forks through the appropriate holes in the rotor disks.
5. The other end of the meat forks must be put through the corresponding holes in the
opposite rotor disk.
6. To insert the remaining meat forks in the unit, act as follows:
•Switch-on the unit using the on/off button.
•With the door opened, use the rotor button to move the rotor to easily insert the next
meat fork. Keep the rotor button pressed until the rotor reaches the desired position. To
load the next meat fork, press the rotor button to rotate the rotor to the next loading
position.
•Repeat these steps, until all products are loaded.

TDR-S
EN 17 / 36
4.3.2 Loading the rotisserie using V-shape spits (accessory)
If you are using V-shape spits act as follows:
•Place the skewer into the small outside hole on the rotor end plate on your left (as you face
the oven). The back of the V-shape spit should be pointing towards you.
•Fit the other end on the spit into the small corresponding holes on the rotor end plate on
your right (as you face the oven).
•Make sure the spit is level. If spit is not level make sure you are using the correct holes on
the rotor end plates.
4.3.3 Loading the rotisserie using meat baskets (accessory)
If you are using meat baskets, act as follows:
•With the TDR 5 you must stick the ends of the meat baskets through the appropriate holes
of the rotor disks.
•With the TDR 7 and TDR 8 you must attach the meat baskets to the appropriate pins.
(type for TDR-8 is shown)
•Whilst loading the unit with meat baskets, you must see to it, that the rotor gets evenly
loaded, so that the mass of the products is evenly spread over the rotor, causing an equal
balance.
•Also see to it that no meat parts are sticking out of the baskets.
(type for TDR 7 / TDR 8 is shown)

TDR-S
EN 18 / 36
4.3.4 Loading the rotisserie using two different accessories
WARNING
After loading the rotor, at least make ONE full rotation, and check whether the rotor
can spin without obstructions.
If you want to load the unit using two different accessories at the same time, always fill the rotor
with ONE accessory fewer than the maximum allowed quantity. See to it that accessories of the
same type are placed consecutively.
Example
For both TDR 5 and TDR 5 + 5: 1 meat fork + 2 meat baskets consecutively.
4.4 Grilling time
Grilling time depends on a number of factors:
•The ambient temperature and draft in the direct vicinity of the unit.
•Grilling temperature.
•The initial product temperature.
•The sort of meat (fat or lean) and with or without additives.
•The mass and shape of the product.
•The total amount of meat to be grilled in one grilling cycle.
•The end result.
4.5 Taking out the products
WARNING
After the grilling, the interior of the unit and the glass panes are very hot.
Always use oven gloves when taking out the meat forks or other accessories.
4.5.1 Taking out the meat forks
When taking out the meat forks, it is best to act as follows:
1. Hold the meat fork firmly.
2. Slightly lift the end with the grips and shift the
meat fork into the direction of its points.
This releases the meat fork.
3. Take the meat fork at its other end and take it out
of the unit.
4. Remove the products from the meat fork.
Refer to the You-Tube movie: “Fri-Jado instruction for unloading chicken
from a rotisserie”.
4.5.2 Taking out the V-shape spit (accessory)
For taking out the V-shape spit you can use the same principle as described in section 4.5.1.

TDR-S
EN 19 / 36
4.5.3 Taking out the meat basket (accessory)
When taking out the meat basket from the TDR it is best to act as follows:
1. Slightly lift both ends of the meat basket.
2. Move the basket towards either the left or right hand side of the unit. This action
unlocks one end of the basket.
3. Move the unlocked end towards you and take out the basket from the unit.
Depending on the number of prepared products you may have to empty the baskets before they
can be removed.
4.6 Emptying grease drawer
WARNING
Check the grease drawer after each cooking process and empty already when about
half full to avoid overflowing. Push the grease drawer completely into the unit after
placing it back to prevent damage to the window.
WARNING
Grease will be hot immediately after cooking. Allow grease to cool or use extreme
caution and wear insulated gloves or safety mitts.
Drain valve open. (Handle horizontally)
Drain valve closed. (Handle vertically)
1. Open the door and slide the grease drawer out about 5 inch.
2. Provide a suitably large bucket or vessel under drain valve and open valve handle.
3. Close drain valve when empty.
4. Push the grease drawer completely into the oven after placing it back to prevent
damage to the window.
