Press ON/OFF button and hold for approx. 3 seconds.
4.3 Loading the unit
When the door is open press the rotor button to activate the rotor. This allow 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 de 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.

TDR-AC
EN 14 / 36
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.
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.

TDR-AC
EN 15 / 36
4.3.3 Loading the rotisserie using meat baskets (accessory)
If you are using meat baskets, act as follows:
Attach the meat baskets to the appropriate pins.
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 de rotor, causing an equal
balance.
Also see to it that no meat parts are sticking out of the baskets.
4.3.4 Loading the rotisserie using chicken racks (accessory)
When using chicken racks, you can use the principle as described in section 4.3.3.

TDR-AC
EN 16 / 36
4.3.5 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: 4 meat forks + 3 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.
Seasonings
The use of herbs and seasoning adds a specific twist to every meal. Using them right
is of great importance for the end result.
Guidelines for seasoning are:
Preferably use the special chicken and meat seasonings of the supplier of the Fri-
Jado Grill. There are special seasoning mixtures for poultry, lamb, pork, large
meat, game and fish.
Season the products to be grilled when dry.
Season the products 90 minutes before grilling at the most to prevent the spices
from abstracting too much fluid from the meat.
Do not add oil or grease while grilling.
Season chicken on the inside and on the outside.
