To assure that an IR burner is lit, very carefully place your hand 8-10 inches away from the burner sur-
face. If you do not feel the heat of the burner, shut off control knob, wait five minutes, and attempt to re-
light. 
ROTISSERIE MOTOR:
The rotisserie motor is capable of turning up to a 25 Lb. cut of meat or poultry, with a maximum diameter 
of 12”. The rotisserie motor is an integral part of the grill, mounted on the rear bottom of the unit. The 
motor drives a chain and sprocket system to a skewer coupler located your upper cooking area. 
The  rotisserie  motor  is  electrically  grounded  by  the  grill  electrical  system  and  plug,  therefore  the  grill 
must installed in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electri-
cal Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-1990. 
SKEWER:
The skewer for the rotisserie is assembled into the skewer coupler (located right side of the grill) by plac-
ing the pointed  end  into  the  square opening of  the coupler. The  other  end  of  the  skewer (round  shaft 
end) rests between the rotisserie bearing wheels opposite to the skewer coupler, on the left side of the 
grill. 
To  load the  skewer,  slide  the meat holders with the prongs facing towards the  center  the  skewer bar. 
Push the skewer through the center of the food, and then slide the second meat holder (prongs toward 
the food) onto the skewer. 
Center the product to be cooked on the skewer then push the meat holders firmly together. Tighten the 
thumb  nuts  of  the  meat  holders  with  pliers.  It  may  also  be  necessary to  wrap  the  food  with  butcher’s 
string (never use nylon or plastic string) to secure any loose portions. Once the food is secure, insert the 
skewer into the coupler. 
Start the motor with the switch located on the right side of the control panel. 
ROTISSERIE BASTING PAN: 
Your ALFRESCO™ Gourmet Grill includes a basting pan for use with the rotisserie. Place the pan onto 
the grill racks (or, if necessary, directly onto the briquettes if the grill racks are removed to accommodate 
large cuts of meat). This pan will catch drippings from the meat being cooked, preventing grease build-
up on the briquettes or Sear-Zone™ IR Burner. 
NOTE:  Never use the basting pan when any of the grill burners are lit. Basting pan is for use 
with the rotisserie burner only. 
ROTISSERIE GENERAL COOKING INSTRUCTIONS: 
As  a  general  rule,  rotisserie  cooking  will  take  15  ~  20 
minutes per pound of meat. Keep hood closed as much 
as possible to improve performance. 
NOTICE 
ALWAYS USE BASTING PAN WITH 
ROTISSERIE  TO  KEEP  DRIPPINGS 
OFF BURNERS AND BRIQUETTES. 
DO NOT USE WHILE GRILLING.
