3. Connect the mains plug to a properly installed shockproof socket only.

Power On/Off

The switch (8) turns the appliance on and off.

I = On (The pilot lamp inside the switch lights up.)

Before Initial Use

1. Insert the reflector sheet only.
2. A protective layer is located on the heating element. Operate the appliance without the other components and without foods for approx. 10 minutes in order to remove it.

NOTE:

Occurrence of light smoke and odor is normal during this procedure. Ensure adequate ventilation.

WARNING: Danger of burns!

Allow appliance to cool down before assembling the other components!

Preparation

Thread the meat or kebab skewers with the marinated seasoned grillables.

CAUTION:

Always ensure you keep approx. 1 cm spacing between the grillables and heating elements.

NOTE:

Do not place the grillables beyond the heating element's height.

Doner Kebab

When cut into thin slices you can grill up to 3 kg of meat at once.

1. Prepare the rotisserie as described in "Assembly" "Figure A".
2. Thread the slices of meat onto the center of the meat skewer. Start with the biggest slices of meat first.
3. Finally depending on your taste place an onion or a tomato onto the meat skewer.

Meat or Vegetable Skewers

1. Prepare the rotisserie as described in "Assembly".

2. Put the gear rims onto the kebab skewers' plastic handle as far as they go. The flat side must point upwards. Please note the slots on the gear rims and the remaining stud on the skewer.

3. Thread bite-sized pieces of meat and / or vegetable onto the kebab skewers.

4. Place the kebab skewers into the outer recesses of the gearbox to ensure the gear rims are reaching into the cogs of the gear. Place the bottom of the skewers into the rotisserie's outer holes.

CAUTION:

Check correct placement of the skewers. The skewers when inserted incorrectly can drop out of the gearbox and come into contact with the heating element. The plastic handles and gear rims would melt.

Poultry (e.g. a Whole Chicken)

The poultry should have a 16 cm maximum diameter in order to avoid contact with the heating element.

1. Prepare the rotisserie as described in "Assembly" "Figure A".
2. Thread the whole chicken onto the meat skewer.
3. To fix them wrap the drumsticks and wings with kitchen twine.

Give the poultry even more stability while using kebab skewers:

1. Mount the gearbox with the traverse as described in "Assembly" → Figure B".

2. Remove the gear rims of the kebab skewers. Place the skewers into the outer recesses of the gearbox and into the rotisserie's outer holes.

Operation

WARNING: Danger of burns!

• Do not operate the appliance before it has been fully assembled and loaded with grillables!

• Always wear oven mitts when removing or cutting the grillables.

• Switch on the appliance. The rotisserie is rotating.

• While preparing kebab skewers they should turn on their own axis. Turn the appliance off if that is not the case. Check correct placement of the skewers in the rotisserie.

• The heating time is approx. 5 minutes. Monitor the grilling process!

NOTE:

The cooking times of doner kebab, kebab skewers or poultry differ significantly. Among other things they are depending on how closely the grillables are moved past the heating element.

- When preparing doner kebab you can cut off the first portion of grilled meat after approx. 15 - 20 minutes.

NOTE:

We recommend the use of an electric knife.

It takes additional 5 minutes until the next meat layer is browned. The thinner the meat skewer becomes the longer it takes until you can cut off another layer of meat.

- Make sure the skewer is located in the front section of the rotisserie when removing the kebab skewers. Avoid touching anything other than the plastic handle at the top of the skewers.

- We recommend using a roasting thermometer to check the doneness of poultry. If you used the gearbox with the traverse and skewers for mounting, remove these parts of the grill to withdraw the poultry.

End of Operation

1. Turn off the appliance. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Allow the appliance to cool down completely!

Cleaning

WARNING:

• Always disconnect the mains plug before cleaning.
- Wait until the appliance has cooled down completely!
- Never immerse the base in water for cleaning. It could result in an electric shock or fire.

CAUTION:

• Do not use wire brushes or other abrasive objects.
• Do not use aggressive or abrasive cleaning detergents.

After each use clean the appliance completely, otherwise unpleasant smoke and odor formations may occur during next use.
