How to Prepare Your Rotisserie for Proteins
-The protein needs to be placed on a spit so that it is
centered and evenly balanced. It must also be held in
place so it does not move around as it is cooking.
-Detach the fork on one side by unscrewing. Slide the
spit rod through the middle of the protein and out the
bottom end. Place the protein so that it is in the center
of the rod.
-Keep the rod running through the center of the protein
and attach the fork back on the end.
-Insert one end of the spit in to the spit mount hole in the
Air Fryer, then the other side.
Rotisserie
1. Place food through rotisserie spit rod and use
rotisserie forks to attach to rod. See above for how
to prepare protein for rotisserie. Use rotisserie
handle when hot.
Note: Please ensure that the protein has proper clearance around the oven to
ensure that it will be able to rotate while cooking. A 2lbs. or less pre trusted
chicken is recommended in this unit.

3. Press the ON/OFF Button, then select Rotisserie. See
