place.
21. The lid of this appliance gets very hot. Always wear oven gloves /
mitts when handling the lid or accessories.
22. Warning: this appliance generates heat and can let steam escape
during use; proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risks of
burns, injury to persons or damage to property.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into the
outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. Extension
cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least that of
the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension cord is too
low, it could overheat and burn.
The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will not
drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over.
PARTS DESCRIPTION
See page 2-3.
Temperature control range is 390°F (Low setting) –515°F (High
setting)
Timer range is 0 to 99 minutes.
Your oven’s cavity has been coated with a non-stick material to
enable an easier cleaning of the cavity walls.
Your oven is also equipped with center heating element that
enables the food to be cooked from the inside out, while the outer
heating elements cook from the outside in. This special feature
enables the food to cook much quicker. It is not recommended to
switch on the center heating element if you want the food to be
cooked “rare” of “medium-rare”, especially for roast beef.
Removable parts are dishwasher safe (except main housing),
making cleaning up easy
Contrary to traditional rotisserie systems, this appliance has no
moving parts (pit or fan) which make it very silent. Hot air will
circulate around the roast, by the alternate function of each outer
heating element, to enable even cooking results.

Cooking times will vary according to shape, thickness and
composition of food. It is recommended that food be checked after
the minimum time stated to avoid over cooking.
The maximum recommended size for poultry is 10 lb.
Cooking times for beef will vary depending if you want it “rare” or
“well done.” Recommended internal temperatures for beef are: rare
140oF; medium rare 145oF; medium 160oF; well done 170oF.
For adding flavor, do marinate or apply rubs, seasonings and spices to
foods, but this prior loading into the rotisserie.
For easier cleanup, spray the rotisserie parts and accessories with a
spray-on cooking oil before cooking. DO NOT spray the part with an
aerosol during the cooking or while the rotisserie is in function.
Remember small poultries (6 or 8 lb.) cook much quicker than larger
ones (10lb.) Use a meat thermometer to control the cooking at
regular intervals.
Select roasts that have and even shape as they will cook in a more
uniform way.
It is important to position the center heating element cover as
centered as possible into the roast, especially at the large end if the
roast is not evenly shaped. Position the larger end of the roast at the
top, not at the bottom.
If the roast is short, please leave it positioned near the top instead of
near the bottom end of the center heating element.
Do not serve immediately after cooking is finished. Let the food rest
for 10 minutes after removing from the rotisserie, before serving, to
allow a juicier poultry or roast.
For meat cut in pieces, like pork chops or sausages or chicken breast,
it is advised to use the skewers.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Unpack the appliance and accessories, then wash and wipe these
accessories. Wipe the inside and outside of the rotisserie with a
sponge or damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
NEVER IMMERSE IN WATER
It is normal if some smoke or smell emanates from the appliance
when using it for the first time. This is not harmful. To eliminate any
packing oil that may remain after production, we recommend to

operate the appliance for 15 minutes, using the rotisserie on its
maximum temperature setting (HIGH).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE!
WARNING: THE LID OF THE ROTISSERIE GETS VERY HOT DURING USE;
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE WITH CARE
To make the rotisserie easier to clean, hold the drip tray and the
inside of the lid and spray with a non-stick cooking spray. Do the
same for the Center heating element cover and the tower
accessory when they will be used
Position the drip tray around the heating element and slide it in
position
Follow step A, B or C below before powering on the rotisserie
A - PREPARE MEAT
Place meat (roast) on a plate or cutting board. With a knife, cut an
X-shaped slit through the center of the roast, large enough for the
center heating element cover to fit in.
NOTE: if using smaller roasts or meat cut in pieces, you can use the
tower of the skewers instead
Position the cover with the mounted roast over the center heating
element.
B- PREPARE POULTRY
The giblets should be removed from the poultry
Feed the center heating element cover through the bottom of the
tower
Pull the chicken open and mount it over the top of the tower, so
that the drumsticks hang downwards on the side of the tower.
Make sure the center heating element cover’s end comes through
the neck of the chicken, or extends through the front of the body
cavity as much as possible, if the poultry is large.
Lift the poultry, using the metal loop at the end of the center cover,
with the hook handle, and position the center cover over the

10

DGR 31031 - 170120
heating element, with the poultry mounted. The bottom of the
tower shall rest on the drip pan.
C- USING SKEWERS
To make kebabs or roasts smaller pieces of meat, the skewers will
come handy.
Cut the meat in small pieces, marinate if desired, and then add the
cubed meat / small pieces / sausages onto the skewers.
When skewers are loaded with food, insert the short end of the
skewer’s shaft into the holes of the tower so that they fit into vertical
position
Slide the tower into position around the central heating element, so
that it stands on the drip tray.
USING THE ROTISSERIE
Place the lid, plug the unit on and press “ON/OFF” once. The unit
will beep twice and the digital display will start flashing “00”. The
“HIGH” and “POULTRY” indicator turn on, and the 4 light indicators
for the heating elements will flash on.
These 4 lights indicate which heating elements will turn on when the
rotisserie starts cooking. The 3 outer lights indicate the outer heating
elements; the center light indicates the center heating element.
The “center heater” button will switch the center heating element
on and off, also during the cooking cycle.
Press “SELECT” button to choose “POULTRY” or “MEAT” type,
indicated by the “MEAT” and “POULTRY” lights.
Press the “+” or “-” keypad to increase or decrease the cooking
time desired. The maximum cooking time is 99 minutes.
Press the “HEAT” button to select “HIGH” or “LOW” (see
recommendations in the table hereafter). The indicator light
indicates the program selected; most of the time you will use the
“HIGH” setting, but the “LOW” setting is interesting to experiment
with.
Press “START/PAUSE” button, the “On” light will illuminate and the
digital display will start to count down. When the heating elements
turn on, two of the lights will flash in a circular array, alternating in a
circular pattern. It is normal for the 3 outer heating elements not to
work at the same time.
