After the basket is loaded and closed, set the Spit Rods in the gray Plastic Spit Loading Base. Line up the two
small loops on the Basket with the Spit Rods. Drop the Basket down on the Spit Rods, and match it to the
corresponding loops on the other end of the Rotisserie Basket.
Place the other Gear Wheel on the Spit Rods and just push down.
For example, keep the small bones of chicken wings securely toward the middle so they can't slip out and
hang up on Grate Cover or Heating Element.
Check baskets occasionally and be sure the food is still tight. If not, stop the machine and carefully take out
the basket and tighten the lid.
When the food in the basket is done, you cam remove the basket by keeping it in a horizontal position.
Remember the food, basket and the Spit Assembly are HOT – take precautions.
Burnt Edges on Food? You can put a small strip of aluminum foil on the top and bottom edges inside the
basket to prevent burnt edges as it cooks.
Always use Caution with Hot Food and Metal Parts. The food, Basket and the Spit Assembly get HOT!
Always wear protective gloves when removing the basket. If you feel the optional gloves are not adequately
insulated enough to protect you from the hot surfaces you are handling, set whatever you are holding
down. You may want to use a thicker oven glove or mitt.

Elastic Food Ties For Chickens
Elastic Food Ties are designed to be an easy-to-use method of securing poultry on the Spit Rods. It is very
important when using your Showtime Rotisserie that food is securely tied, and fits onto the Spit Rods so that
™
the food will not touch the Heating Element and is evenly centered all around.
It is recommended that you first remove any excess fat or loose hanging parts, as well as cut off the tail from
the chicken.
The illustration shows how to tie a bird with one or two ties.
Using 1 Tie
With one tie you go behind each wing, cross overt the back and pull it over the bottom of the bird and up the
front to hold the legs together. Then tuck the wings inside the tie.
If a Food Tie is too long, you can shorten it by tying a knot in it and cut off the excess with scissors.
Using 2 Ties
Using two ties, shorten then both and put one over the wings and one over the legs. Very easy.
