Ronco Showtime ST3001WHGEN User Manual page 8

When loading a rib roast start through fat, meaty end and move the spit rods between (or on top of) the bones.
Keep the meat evenly distributed on the rods. You may have to make a couple of tries to not run into a bone.
If any food scrapes or hangs up, stop immediately. Trim with scissors and reload the spit rods so that nothing
touches the top, bottom, sides or heating element.
Helpful Hint: Late for Dinner?
No problem, just set the function switch to "No Heat Rotation" and keep your food warm and the juices evenly
distributed. Up to 15-20 minutes is okay, after that the food cools down.
1.
Wash the chicken with warm water (so food is not cold when it goes in the Rotisserie) and remove any parts
from the cavity (giblets, etc). Cut away excess fat and skin so hot air can get into the cavity.
Tie the wings and legs down. Use one or two of the Elastic Food Ties (if they are too big for your chicken, knot
them smaller and cut off the excess).
2. Place the chicken on the Spit Rods breast first – be sure it's centered and the weight is evenly distributed.
Careful to keep your hands clear of the sharp rod tips when loading Food vertically or horizontally
After loading the food on the Spit Rods, put the other Gear Wheel on.

Glass door Shown open and tucked under the Rotisserie. Always keep the Door in up position when heating
element is on. The glass gets very hot – please don't touch it.
3. Place the loaded Spit Rod Assembly in the "Rest" area just inside the rotisserie. Then slide it on back to the
cooking position. Pull up door up.
4. Set the 3-Position Switch to "Normal Rotation". Set the Timer for15 min. per pound for a chicken (Example:
4 lbs. = 1 hour).
Problem? If a chicken wing comes free or any part touches the heating element or bottom grate during cooking,
simply turn the Timer to OFF. Let cool a bit. Please be careful – Both the food and the Rotisserie get hot. Make
any adjustments or retie your chicken. Then reset Timer.
5.
When the chicken is done, carefully slide the door under the unit. But if you're not ready to serve right away,
set the 3-Position Switch to "Heat Rotation" for 3-5 minutes help food cool down.
