Your oven’s cavity has been coated with a non stick material to enable an easier cleaning of the cavity walls. Your oven is also equipped with center heating element that enables the food to be cooked from the inside out, while the outer heating elements cook from the outside in. This special feature enables the food to cook much quicker. It is not recommended to switch on the center heating element if you want the food to be cooked “rare” of “medium-rare”, especially for roast beef. 5 USK DGR 31031- 100326 • • Removable parts are dishwasher safe (except main housing), making cleaning up easy Contrary to traditional rotisserie systems, this appliance has no moving parts (pit or fan) which make it very silent. Hot air will circulate around the roast to enable even cooking results. IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR COOKING MEAT AND POULTRY – TIPS FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS NOTE: Please read this entire Use / Care Guide thoroughly before using. Caution: Always make sure that meat and poultry are thoroughly cooked before eating. The juices from poultry should run clear when cooking process is complete. • All meat and poultry should be thoroughly defrosted before cooking. Have foods at room temperature before placing them in the rotisserie. • We recommend the use of a meat thermometer to ensure the food is cooked thoroughly. • Cooking times will vary according to shape, thickness and composition of food. It is recommended that food be checked after the minimum time stated to avoid over cooking. • The maximum recommended size for poultry is 10 lb. • Cooking times for beef will vary depending if you want it “rare” or “well done.” Recommended internal temperatures for beef are: rare 140oF; medium rare 145oF; medium 160oF; well done 170oF. • For adding flavor, do marinate or apply rubs, seasonings and spices to foods, but this prior loading into the rotisserie. • For easier cleanup, spray the rotisserie parts and accessories with a spray-on cooking oil before cooking. DO NOT spray the part with an aerosol during the cooking or while the rotisserie is in function. • Remember small poultries (6 or 8 lb.) cook much quicker than larger ones (10lb.) Use a meat thermometer to control the cooking at regular intervals. • Select roasts that have and even shape as they will cook in a more uniform way. • It is important to position the center heating element cover as centered as possible into the roast, especially at the large end if 6 USK DGR 31031- 100326 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 minutes after removing from the rotisserie, before serving, to allow a more juicy poultry or roast. • For meat cut in pieces, like pork chops or sausages or chicken breast, it is advised to use the skewers. BEFORE THE FIRST USE • • • Unpack the appliance and accessories, then wash and wipe these accessories. Wipe the inside and outside of the rotisserie with a sponge or damp cloth and dry thoroughly. NEVER IMMERSE IN WATER It is normal if some smoke or smell emanates from the appliance when using it for the first time. This is not harmful. In order to eliminate any packing oil that may remain after production, we recommend to operate the appliance for 15 minutes, using the rotisserie on its maximum temperature setting (HIGH). OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION: NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE! WARNING: THE LID OF THE ROTISSERIE GETS VERY HOT DURING USE; ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE WITH CARE • • • To make the rotisserie easier to clean, hold the drip tray and the inside of the lid and spray with a non-stick cooking spray. Do the same for the Center heating element cover and the tower accessory when they will be used Position the drip tray around the heating element and slide it in position Follow step A, B or C below before powering on the rotisserie 7 USK DGR 31031- 100326 A - PREPARE MEAT • • • Place meat (roast) on a plate or cutting board. With a knife, cut and X-shaped slit through the center of the roast, large enough for the center heating element cover to fit in. NOTE : if using smaller roasts or meat cut in pieces, you can use the tower of the skewers instead Position the cover with the mounted roast over the center heating element. B- PREPARE POULTRY • • • • • The giblets should be removed from the poultry Feed the center heating element cover through the bottom of the tower Pull the chicken open and mount it over the top of the tower, so that the drumsticks hang downwards on the side of the tower. Make sure the center heating element cover’s end comes through the neck of the chicken, or extends through the front of the body cavity as much as possible, if the poultry is large. Lift the poultry, using 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 poultry mounted. 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. Cut the meat in small pieces, marinate if desired, and then add the cubed meat / small pieces / sausages 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 Slide the tower into position around the central heating element, so that it stands on the drip tray. 8 USK DGR 31031- 100326 USING THE ROTISSERIE • • • • • • • Place the lid, plug the unit on and press “ON/OFF” once. The unit will beep twice and the digital display will start flashing “00”. The “HIG” and “POULTRY” indicator turn on, and the 4 light indicators for the heating elements will flash on. These 4 lights indicate which heating elements will turn on when the rotisserie starts cooking. The 3 outer lights indicate the outer heating elements, the center light indicates the center heating element. The “center heater” button will switch the center heating element on and off, also during the cooking cycle. Press “SELECT” button to choose “POULTRY” or “MEAT” type, indicated by the “MEAT” and “POULTRY” lights. Press the “+” or “-” keypad to increase or decrease the cooking time desired. The maximum cooking time is 99 minutes. Press the “HEAT” button to select “HIGH” or “LOW” (see recommendations in the table hereafter). The indicator light indicates the program selected; most of the time you will use the “HIGH” setting, but the “LOW” setting is interesting to experiment with. Press “START/PAUSE” button, the “On” light will illuminate and the digital display will start to count down. When the heating elements turn on, two of the lights will flash in a circular array, alternating in a circular pattern. It is normal for the 3 outer heating elements not to work at the same time. CAUTION: the lid will become very hot during cooking. Handle with care and with oven mitts or pads. The roasting process generates steam that can cause burns. Tilt the glass lid when opening so that the steam is directed away from the face and hands. • • Check the internal temperature of the food periodically with a food thermometer until the food is done. When the cooking cycle is finished, the rotisserie will beep twice, the digital display will show “00” and the heating elements will turn off automatically. Using a hot pad or oven mitt, carefully remove the glass lid 9 USK DGR 31031- 100326 • • • Insert the hook handle into the loop at the end of the heating element cover or at the top of the drip tray to lift the food, using 2 hands for large birds or roasts. Place on a large tray or shallow pan. Allow food to rest for 10 to 15 minutes for best results. For skewers, carefully remove them from the tower, and slide the food onto a plate.

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 scouring pad or similar, along with a non-abrasive cleanser, to remove burnt-on grease. Rinse and set aside to air-dry. To remove baked-on food residue easily, place parts in hot soapy water and let stand for 20 - 30 minutes 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, carefully 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 use abrasive cleansers on exterior or interior surfaces. To clean cooked-on foods from interior surfaces or glass window, use a plastic bristle brush, or a polyester or nylon mesh pad, dampened with a dishwashing detergent and water. NEVER spray cleaners directly into the interior surfaces of the Main Body. Clean spills from exterior of Main Body with a damp cloth after each use. Dry thoroughly with soft cloth. DO NOT IMMERSE THE MAIN BODY OF THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. TROUBLESHOOTING Meat roasts stick to center heating element cover. • Did you remember to grease this part before loading the roast? • Is the roast very lean? Remember to let the roast stand about 10 minutes before trying to remove it from the shaft. • Try loosening the meat from around the top and bottom of the shaft, then push the top of the shaft down through the meat. If it’s still stuck, cut the roast lengthwise down one entire side, and then 11 USK DGR 31031- 100326 slip the shaft out. Cut the roast on the other side so that you have 2 long pieces. Slice the roast thinly to serve. Turkey will not fit in unit. • Some turkey breasts are hard to position. Try to centre them as much as possible, using the tower. • Use string and skewers to help keep the turkey breast in place if necessary. • Large birds may simply not fit in. We do not recommend using for birds over 10 lb. • Try placing the bird in the rotisserie without the tower. The roasts and poultry are not thoroughly done. • The times in the user guide are approximate. Increase the cooking times • Timer is not set up correctly. Recdommended times shall be used as a starting point. Meat is done inside but overdone outside • Meat is thick and requires more cooking time at reduced speed. • Try cooking on High for half of the cooking time, and switch to LOW mid-cycle until theend of the cooking time. Unit does not turn on or will not get hot • Did you plug the unit in? • You MUST set the timer before pushing the Start/Pause button. Cannot change countdown minutes on display • Timer buttons must be pushed firmly. You may not have pushed hard enough or long enough. • To advance time quickly, push and hold the timer button for 1 full second. Some smoke is visible during use • During first use, it is normal to have some smoke coming from the unit. Smoke from food splatters on subsequent use is also normal. • Did you wipe out the interior of the unit after the last use? • Is roast or poultry touching the heating elements? Did you tie chicken wings in so they won’t touch the heating elements? 12 USK DGR 31031- 100326 • Is fat and dripping spattering onto the heating elements during cooking? Grease/drippings may ooze out onto counter. • Make sure the drip tray is properly in place. • During use, some dripping may spatter onto interior walls and run down into the bottom of the unit, bypassing the drip tray. Drippings may also run down the centre are, collecting in the bottom. • Does the food being cooked have a high quantity of fat? You may have to pause halfway through cooking, remove the roast/bird, and then carefully empty the drip tray. • If cooked food is allowed to stand in the unit to cool, condensation will collect and run down the interior walls to the bottom of the unit. • Be sure the rotisserie is completely cooled down before attempting to clean the inside. Meat roasts cook unevenly. • Did you thread the roast onto the shaft evenly? Roasts need to be centered on the Shaft toward the top of the unit to cook evenly. • Was the roast oddly shaped, with a small pointed end and a large wide end? Then try cooking a roast without the centre element on for more typical cooked results. 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 much more quickly. • To try to minimize the shaft hole, turn off the centre element. It will take longer to cook, but the hole will be much less noticeable. 13 USK DGR 31031- 100326 WARRANTY We suggest that you complete and return the enclosed Product Registration Card promptly to facilitate verification of the date of original purchase.
