Operating instructions

OPERATION

There are three simple controls on the front of this unit: a switch, which controls the tube rotation, and two

adjustable heat controls, which activates the two banks of heating elements in the roller tubes. Both heat

controls have a light above them indicating either "Front' or "Back". The front heat control activates the first 5

or 6 (depending on if your unit has 1 0 or 11 tubes). The back Control activates the remaining 5 tubes. Each

bank of tubes can be heated independently of the others and at separate temperature settings. Variations in

voltage and ventilation make experimenting the best guide to power level adjustment.

When a preferred adjustment is found, and it is desired to return consistently to the same spot on the

controls, the controls can be fine-tuned by aligning with a mark on the knob. This adjustment does not

require a service visit.

CLEANING

DAILY CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Heat the unit.

2. Using a moist cloth filled with crushed or flaked ice, wipe each tube. Wipe the tubes from

each end to the center. This will keep as much of the loosened particles out of the bearings

as possible. Extend the cloth as far as possible between the rollers.

3. With the heated rollers wiped with an ice filled cloth to loosen the particles, now, wipe clean

with another cloth. Continue to wipe from the end of the rollers to the center. This will reduce

the grease and partials getting into the bearings and drive mechanism. This will extend the

life of the unit and extend the period between routine maintenance of the drive mechanism.

CAUTION: NEVER use abrasive powders or pads; these cleaners may damage the roller finish. Also, the

particles may get into the drive mechanism shortening the unit life.

4. Remove the drip pan and wash it in hot, soapy water, then rinse.

5. If stains are still present, add a light detergent to the cloth and repeat.

6. Replace the pan and turn the unit off if the grill will not be immediately used.

NOTE: Cleanup will be faster if the product is specifically made for cooking on roller grills. Several meat

packers now offer this product.

For high-volume applications or for products that have a high sugar or fat content. the HOTROD may

require more frequent cleaning. For longer life of your HOTROD , follow instructions for periodic cleaning

throughout the day.

PERIODIC CLEANING THROUGHOUT THE DAY:

1. For high-volume applications or for product that has a high fat content clean the rollers

every 3-4 hours.

2. Clean by removing the product from the rollers and wiping with a damp cloth from outside end

of the rollers to the center. Replace the product and continue cooking. There should be no

need to turn off the heat when wiping down the rollers. But care should be taken not to bring

hands into direct contact with the rollers as a burn could result.

NOTE: THIS APPLIANCE SHALL NOT BE CLEANED WITH A WATER JET.
