5. Receiving & Unpacking
5.1 Single Rotisserie
1. Using tin snips or a similar cutting tool, cut the metal packing
straps. Care should be taken as the straps are under tension and
may snap when cut.
2. Remove all wrapping from the rotisserie. Care should be taken
not to scratch any surfaces if a knife is being used.
3. Remove all accessories and loose items from in and around the
equipment and place them aside.
4. Remove any wood blocks around the feet or (optional) casters that
might hinder rolling the rotisserie forward off of the pallet as shown
in Figure 5-2. Do not remove the indicated wooden rails.
MOVING THE ROTISSERIE OFF THE PALLET REQUIRES
A 4 PERSON TEAM AS THE WEIGHT OF THE UNIT IS
AROUND 425 LBS.
CARE MUST BE TAKEN NOT TO OVER EXERT
PRESSURE ON THE DOOR GLASS WHEN HANDLING
THE ROTISSERIE.
5. Unlock the casters and carefully roll the unit to the edge of the
pallet.
6. In 3 stages; gently lift and lower the first set of legs onto the floor,
roll the unit forward, then carefully lift and lower the back legs
onto the floor. See Figure 5-3.
7. Inspect the rotisserie for any remaining plastic left over from the
manufacturing and packing process and remove if found. Be
sure to remove the protective foam blocks from the glass doors
as well as the plastic tie wrap that is securing the drive unit in its
socket. See Figure 5-4.
8. Position the rotisserie in its intended operation area and lock the
front casters if applicable.
9. Verify that the rotisserie is level from front to back and side to
side. Raise or lower the feet or casters to level the unit if
necessary as shown in Figure 5-5 on page11.

For simplicity, dismounting the rotisserie off the pallet is explained
using the (optional) casters. If the unit does not have casters, the
unit will need to be carefully lifted, not dragged off the pallet.

3. Remove all accessories and loose items from in and around the
equipment and place them aside. Ensure that you place the
accessories in separate piles for each rotisserie.
4. Identify which rotisserie is the bottom one as it needs to be
prepared first. This can be determined by the caster wheels that
are visible near the bottom of the crate (see Figure 5-10).
5. On the bottom rotisserie, remove any wood blocks around the
feet or (optional) casters that might hinder rolling the unit forward
off its pallet as shown in Figure 5-10. Do not remove the
indicated wooden rails.

13. Take the manual lifting rig (P/N 99-19036) and assemble one side
with one of the included clamps and one of the round grips at one
end of each pole. The clamps will serve as stoppers to keep the
balance when lifting the oven.
14. Insert the un-assembled side of the manual lifting rig through the large
holes located at the oven’s base (see Figure 5-17).
15. Assemble the second clamp as close to the oven as possible on
each pole of the manual lifting rig then the second round grip at
the opposite end of the oven (see Figure 5-18).

16. Using a screwdriver, secure the four clamps flush against the
base’s walls on each side of the oven so the unit’s center of gravity
will be maintained during lifting (see Figure 5-19).
17. With the metal packing straps and packaging removed, the top
oven should be ready to be lifted off of its pallet, straight upwards.
If this does not appear to be the case, carefully remove any wood
that would be hindering an upward motion.
MOVING THE ROTISSERIE OFF THE PALLET REQUIRES
A 4 PERSON TEAM AS THE WEIGHT OF THE UNIT IS

18. In a synchronized fashion, lift the top unit up from its pallet using
proper lifting techniques.
19. Carefully place the top unit onto the bottom one (See Figure
5-21). The holes in the base of the top rotisserie must align with
the holes of the inner bolts on the bottom rotisserie.
20. Remove the manual lifting rig and re-install the drain valve
handle that was previously removed in step 12.
