NOTE: Please read this entire Use / Care Guide thoroughly before
using.
• All meat and po ltry sho ld be thoro ghly defrosted before
cooking. Have foods at room temperat re before placing them in
the rotisserie.
• We recommend the se of a meat thermometer to ens re the
food is cooked thoro ghly.
• Cooking times will vary according to shape, thickness and
composition of food. It is recommended that food be checked
after the minim m time stated to avoid over cooking.
• The maxim m recommended size for po ltry is 10 lb.
• Cooking times for beef will vary depending if yo want it “rare” or
“well done.” Recommended internal temperat res for beef are:
rare 140
o
F; medi m rare 145

• For adding flavor, do marinate or apply r bs, seasonings and spices
to foods, b t this prior loading into the rotisserie.
• For easier clean p, spray the rotisserie parts and accessories with a
spray-on cooking oil before cooking. DO NOT spray the part with
an aerosol d ring the cooking or while the rotisserie is in f nction.
• Remember small po ltries (6 or 8 lb.) cook m ch q icker than
larger ones (10lb.) Use a meat thermometer to control the cooking
at reg lar intervals.
• Select roasts that have and even shape as they will cook in a more
niform 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 min tes after removing from the rotisserie, before serving, to
allow a more j icy po ltry or roast.
• For meat c t in pieces, like pork chops or sa sages or chicken
breast, it is advised to se the skewers.
BEFORE THE FIRST USE
• Unpack the appliance and accessories, then wash and wipe
these accessories. Wipe the inside and o tside of the rotisserie
with a sponge or damp cloth and dry thoro ghly.
• NEVER IMMERSE IN WATER
• It is normal if some smoke or smell emanates from the appliance
when sing it for the first time. This is not harmf l. In order to
eliminate any packing oil that may remain after prod ction, we
recommend to operate the appliance for 15 min tes, sing the
rotisserie on its maxim m temperat re setting (HIGH).
OPER TING INSTRUCTIONS

A - PREPARE MEAT
• Place meat (roast) on a plate or c tting board. With a knife, c t
and X-shaped slit thro gh the center of the roast, large eno gh
for the center heating element cover to fit in.
• NOTE : if sing smaller roasts or meat c t in pieces, yo can se
the tower of the skewers instead
• Position the cover with the mo nted roast over the center
heating element.
B- PREPARE POULTRY
• The giblets sho ld be removed from the po ltry
• Feed the center heating element cover thro gh the bottom of
the tower
• P ll the chicken open and mo nt it over the top of the tower, so
that the dr msticks hang downwards on the side of the tower.
• Make s re the center heating element cover’s end comes
thro gh the neck of the chicken, or extends thro gh the front of
the body cavity as m ch as possible, if the po ltry is large.
• Lift the po ltry, sing the metal loop at the end of the center
cover, with the hook handle, and position the center cover over
the heating element, with the po ltry mo nted. 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.
• C t the meat in small pieces, marinate if desired, and then add
the c bed meat / small pieces / sa sages 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

• Press “START/PAUSE” b tton, the “On” light will ill minate and the
digital display will start to co nt down. When the heating
elements t rn on, two of the lights will flash in a circ lar array,
alternating in a circ lar pattern. It is normal for the 3 o ter heating
elements not to work at the same time.
CAUTION: the lid will become very hot d ring cooking. Handle with
care and with oven mitts or pads. The roasting process generates
steam that can ca se b rns. Tilt the glass lid when opening so that
the steam is directed away from the face and hands.
• Check the internal temperat re of the food periodically with a
food thermometer ntil the food is done.
• When the cooking cycle is finished, the rotisserie will beep twice,

• Caref lly remove Drip Tray from Main Body and po r grease into
a s itable container.
• All removable parts are dishwasher safe or may be washed by
hand in hot soapy water.
• Over time, the tower, center cover and skewers will discolor - this
is normal. The Glass Lid may have to be cleaned with a 3M
sco ring pad or similar, along with a non-abrasive cleanser, to
remove b rnt-on grease. Rinse and set aside to air-dry.
• To remove baked-on food resid e easily, place parts in hot soapy
water and let stand for 20 - 30 min tes before hand washing.
• Wipe interior of main body and heating elements with a damp
cloth or sponge, and dishwashing detergent, to remove grease.
To clean grease spatters behind the heating elements, caref lly
slide a paper towel or sponge dampened with water and
dishwashing detergent. Slide behind the element and dry with a
paper towel or soft cloth. Do not se abrasive cleansers on
exterior or interior s rfaces.
• To clean cooked-on foods from interior s rfaces or glass window,
se a plastic bristle br sh, or a polyester or nylon mesh pad,
dampened with a dishwashing detergent and water. NEVER
spray cleaners directly into the interior s rfaces of the Main Body.
• Clean spills from exterior of Main Body with a damp cloth after
each se. Dry thoro ghly with soft cloth.
DO NOT IMMERSE THE M IN BODY OF THE PPLI NCE IN W TER OR

TROUBLESHOOTING
Meat roasts stick to center heating element cover.
• Did yo remember to grease this part before loading the roast?
• Is the roast very lean? Remember to let the roast stand abo t 10
min tes before trying to remove it from the shaft.
• Try loosening the meat from aro nd the top and bottom of the
shaft, then p sh the top of the shaft down thro gh the meat. If it’s
still st ck, c t the roast lengthwise down one entire side, and then


12 USK DGR 31031- 100326
slip the shaft o t. C t the roast on the other side so that yo have
2 long pieces. Slice the roast thinly to serve.
Turkey will not fit in unit.
• Some t rkey breasts are hard to position. Try to centre them as
m ch as possible, sing the tower.
• Use string and skewers to help keep the t rkey breast in place if
necessary.
• Large birds may simply not fit in. We do not recommend sing for
birds over 10 lb.
• Try placing the bird in the rotisserie witho t the tower.
The roasts and poultry are not thoroughly done.
• The times in the ser g ide are approximate. Increase the
cooking times
• Timer is not set p correctly. Recdommended times shall be sed
as a starting point.
Meat is done inside but overdone outside
• Meat is thick and req ires more cooking time at red ced speed.
• Try cooking on High for half of the cooking time, and switch to
LOW mid-cycle ntil theend of the cooking time.
Unit does not turn on or will not get hot
• Did yo pl g the nit in?
• Yo MUST set the timer before p shing the Start/Pa se b tton.
Cannot change countdown minutes on display
• Timer b ttons m st be p shed firmly. Yo may not have p shed
hard eno gh or long eno gh.
• To advance time q ickly, p sh and hold the timer b tton for 1 f ll
second.
Some smoke is visible during use
• D ring first se, it is normal to have some smoke coming from the
nit. Smoke from food splatters on s bseq ent se is also normal.
• Did yo wipe o t the interior of the nit after the last se?
• Is roast or po ltry to ching the heating elements? Did yo tie
chicken wings in so they won’t to ch the heating elements?


13 USK DGR 31031- 100326
• Is fat and dripping spattering onto the heating elements d ring
cooking?
Grease/drippings may ooze out onto counter.
• Make s re the drip tray is properly in place.
• D ring se, some dripping may spatter onto interior walls and r n
down into the bottom of the nit, bypassing the drip tray.
Drippings may also r n down the centre are, collecting in the
bottom.
• Does the food being cooked have a high q antity of fat? Yo
may have to pa se halfway thro gh cooking, remove the
roast/bird, and then caref lly empty the drip tray.
• If cooked food is allowed to stand in the nit to cool,
condensation will collect and r n down the interior walls to the
bottom of the nit.
• Be s re the rotisserie is completely cooled down before
attempting to clean the inside.
Meat roasts cook unevenly.
• Did yo thread the roast onto the shaft evenly? Roasts need to
be centered on the Shaft toward the top of the nit to cook
evenly.
• Was the roast oddly shaped, with a small pointed end and a
large wide end? Then try cooking a roast witho t the centre
element on for more typical cooked res lts.
There’s a hole in the middle of the roast.
• This is typical of any roast that is cooked on a rotisserie-type
appliance. Since the centre heating element helps cook the
roast, the hole in the meat may be a little more noticeable than
from other rotisseries. However, the roasts also cook m ch more
q ickly.
• To try to minimize the shaft hole, t rn off the centre element. It will
take longer to cook, b t the hole will be m ch less noticeable.
