Using The Rotisserie - Lynx L30PSR Care & Use Manual

Using the Rotisserie

The rotisserie system consists of
three main parts - the motor, the
skewer which holds the food,
and the infrared rotis burner. The
rotisserie evenly cooks large cuts
of meat by turning them contin-
uously in front of a high-intensi-
ty burner. The rotis is capable of
turning up to a 25 lb. cut of meat.
THE MOTOR
The rotisserie motor runs on 12
volt DC power that is supplied
by the grill. To power the motor,
plug the "L" shaped jack of the
power cord into the motor, and
plug the other end into the jack
provided on the left side of the
grill (see figure 16-1). This hook-
up allows for simple installation
and removal of the motor for
storage when not in use.

NOTE:
The grill must be con-
nected to 115 volt AC power as
described on page 7 for the rotis
motor to function.
Install the motor onto the grill by
sliding it onto the bracket locat-
ed on the left side of the grill.

THE SKEWER
To load the skewer, slide one of
the meat holders onto the skew-
er. Push the skewer through the
center of the food, then slide the
second meat holder onto the
skewer. Center the food to be
cooked on the skewer then push
the meat holders firmly together.
Tighten the thumb screws (use
pliers if necessary). It may also be
necessary to wrap the food with
butchers string (never use nylon
or plastic string) to secure any
loose portions.
Remove the warming rack and,
if needed, remove the grill racks
and briquette trays to gain bet-
ter clearance. It is normal for the
skewer to flex when cooking
large foods. Place a basting pan
beneath the food for basting
and to ease cleaning.
Never operate a grill burner
with a basting pan in place.
The skewer for the rotis is assem-
bled into the motor assembly
by placing the pointed end into
the motor, and resting the short,
round end (threaded end on 27"
models) onto the support at the
Rotis motor
opposite side of the grill. With
the skewer pushed into the mo-
tor, it should rest on the bracket.
The Lynx rotisserie features dual
positions to accommodate larg-
er cuts of meat or to allow slow-
er cooking (see figure 16-2). Any
food to be cooked should be a
minimum of 2" from the surface
of the infrared burner.
Rear position - for small
foods such as game hens
Front position - for
larger cuts of meat

THE INFRARED BURNER
The location of the rotis burner
makes it more susceptible to
strong wind conditions (more
so than the main grill burners).
For this reason you should avoid
operating the rotis during windy
conditions. As an added safety
feature, the burner is equipped
with an automatic safety valve
which will not allow gas to flow
to the rotis burner if it is not
properly lit. To light the rotis
burner, follow this procedure:
1)
Open hood completely. Do
not attempt to light grill with the
hood closed.
2)
Load food onto skewer, and
install motor and skewer onto
grill in desired cooking position.
3)
Check to ensure that all burn-
er control knobs are set to OFF.
4)
Turn on main gas supply.
Purge if needed (see page 9).
5)
Push in and turn burner con-
trol knob to LITE. Hold knob in
for 30 to 60 seconds.
6)
If burner does not light, turn
knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes to
continued...
