OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO USE THE ROTISSERIE SPIT (Max: 1.8 kg)
Using the spit with the rotate feature is perfect for roasting a whole chicken to even, crisp perfection
and for slowly cooking whole, boneless pieces of meat, such as beef or pork tenderloins. You can also
experiment with roasting a small cauliflower head or a peeled pineapple. NOTE: The rotate function is
not available for DEHYDRATE or Probe Cooking.
1.
Place the baking pan on the floor of the unit.
2.
If using the spit to cook a whole chicken, be sure the giblets are removed. Season the
chicken as desired and truss tightly. (Be sure the chicken will fit in the oven with room to
rotate; a 1.3- to 1.5 kg chicken works well.) Run the spit through the bird lengthwise, starting
at the cavity in the back. Carefully slide the spit forks onto each end of the shaft, sinking
them deep into the breast meat at one end and the thigh meat at the other end. Lock the
forks in place with screws, leaving at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space on both ends of the
rod. The chicken should be secure and should not be able to slide around on the spit.
3.
Alternatively, if using the spit to cook a piece of meat, carefully push the spit lengthwise
through the centre of the meat. Carefully slide the spit forks onto each end of the shaft,
inserting the prongs deeply into the meat. Lock the forks in place with screws, leaving at
least 2.5 cm (1 inch) of free space on both ends of the rod. The meat should be secure and
should not be able to slide around on the spit.
4.
Guide the spit into the rotisserie rack position by placing the left shaft into the rotisserie
gear located on the left interior wall. Once in place, lift the right shaft and lay it on the
rotisserie holder located on the right interior wall. Be sure the meat or chicken can rotate
freely in the air fryer.
5.
Close the door and proceed with cooking following the directions on p. 12, beginning with
Step 4 and choosing the AIR FRY or BAKE cook function. CAUTION: The spit will get hot
during cooking. Use the fetch tool and oven mitts and handle with care to avoid injury (see
p. 17 for more detailed directions on the fetch tool).
