Page 4: Placing The Machine
I. INITIAL STEPS 1. Placing the Machine Barbecue products are often bought on impulse. The continuous style rotisserie models have been designed for maximum viewing by both the customers as well as the operator. The unit usually has a front glass surface and should be placed where it will get the best and most exposure. Wherever the unit is placed, remember that the operator will need continual access through the glass doors. -

Page 23: Spitting Chickens
5.0 Spitting Chickens Hickory Industries, Inc. A. Using Angle Spits Figure 1. Chickens Ties When using a “V” or angle spit, it is very important to tie or truss the product being cooked. This prevents the product from moving around the spit and also prevents damage by preventing the legs and wings from flopping. - Page 24 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 4. Trussing Legs While pulling on the tie, loop the strings over the legs of the chicken. Figure 5. Trussed Legs Make sure that both legs are securely held by the tie. Figure 6. Trussed wings Make sure that both wings are securely held by the tie against the breast of the chicken.
- Page 25 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 7. Pop-up Thermometer The only way to tell if a chicken is done is take the intermal temperature. Since it can be difficult to probe the chickens while they are in the rotisserie, we recommend the use of pop-up thermometer. These inexpensive items should be place in the thickest part of the chicken, which is the breast.
- Page 26 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 10. Using the Angle Spit Insert the bottom (handle) of the spit into the Spit Holder. Figure 11. Spitting a Chicken Spit the chicken through the cavity. The chicken should be inserted through the “head” (or at least where the head used to be) first.
- Page 27 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 13. Incorrectly Spitted Chicken This picture shows a chicken with the legs improp- erly placed. Note how the chicken seems to hang to one side. When spitted this way, the chickens will tend to “bounce” up and down causing the chicken to break-up.

Page 28: Using Regular Spits
Hickory Industries, Inc. B. Using Regular Spits Figure 15. Inserting Single Bottom Skewer Attach a single skewer with a thumb screw at least 1/ 2" from the square end of the spit. The skewer must be on the round section of the spit. Figure 16. - Page 29 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 18. Inserting Chicken Take the chicken, with the drumsticks in the direction of the attached skewer, and slide the spit through the cavity of the chicken. Figure 19. Tucking the Legs The legs must be tucked between the skewer prongs and the center spit.
- Page 30 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 21. Locking Wings The wings must be locked or tucked in place. When using the models N/5.5 and N/10.10, the locking method (pictured here) is only recom- mended with birds up to 2¾ lbs! With larger birds, the wings must be tucked under the breast, with elastic ties or “wing tuckers”.
- Page 31 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 24. Inserting Double Skewers With the first chicken in place, insert a double skewer down the length of the spit into the shoulders of the first chicken. No thumb screw is required for the double skewers! WARNING! When driving the double skewer into the chicken, do not exert pressure from the end of the prongs! These are sharp and will...
- Page 32 Hickory Industries, Inc. Figure 13. Completing the Load Slide a single skewer with a thumb screw into place from the top, Figure 14. Tightening Final Skewer Compress the chickens by exerting pressure on this last skewer, and tighten the thumb screw securely. Figure 15.

Page 33: Loading And Unloading Spits
Hickory Industries, Inc. 6. Loading and Unloading Spits On the N/45G, you do not need to open the front sliding glass doors of the machine in order to load the spits! If your unit is equipped with hinged side doors, these must be opened in order to insert and/or remove the spits. -
Page 34: Checking Chickens For Doneness
Depending on the model being used, a 2 minutes to cook in a pre-heated oven when the thermostat is set for MAXIMUM. By using a stem type thermometer, the operator MUST determine the interior temperature of the chicken to test for doneness. - Page 35 Drain the greasy water from the drip pan and replenish with a solution of warm water and detergent. Using either a sponge or a cloth - wipe down the interior of the oven with the solution removing any grease/fat. Wipe dry the interior of the oven with a soft cloth.
- Page 36 Hickory Industries, Inc. 10. Maintenance Procedures for Continuous Cook Rotisseries The most effective maintenance procedure that you can perform will be the daily cleaning procedure. Monthly: To ensure that the burner is operating efficiently, remove the ceramics and use a paper clip to clean any debris from the burner openings.
- Page 37 Thoroughly wash and sanitize hands before touching switches and/or dials. Follow operating instructions for oven operation. Check product for doneness as per instruction manual. Follow unloading procedures. Use a designated surface for cooked product only. Insure that no cross contamination occurs with any surface previously used for raw product, including employee hands.
