How to clean and maintain your Basket Rotisserie

DAILY

Unit should be cleaned before it cools down completely or the grease will harden, rendering the unit much more difficult to clean correctly.

Once cooled down (all components still warm but no risk of burns – approx. 15 min.):

• Pull drip pan slightly, remove plug so the pan contents can be drained into a separate pan.
• Remove the main gear assembly wheel by aligning the arrow (stamped on the side of the wheel) facing upwards and just lift the wheel assembly up to disengage from the motor drive.
• Remove all internal panels and drip pan, spits, and baskets and take to three compartment sinks. Spray with sink nozzle to remove larger food particles. Soak in sink with degreaser solution. Scrub with nonabrasive sponge.
• Clean the glass doors: please note the glass doors have an oven-side special K coating (heat reflecting metal powder coating) so do not use abrasive material such as stainless-steel scrubbers/3M scouring pads, etc.). A nonabrasive sponge should only be used on hard to clean build up areas.

1. With a damp rag soaked in a mild degreaser solution, wipe down the inside of one of the glass panels, including around the hinges and doorknobs to avoid grease build up.
2. With a dry rag, immediately wipe down the glass panel to pick up all grease residue and remove streaks.
3. Repeat on remaining door(s)
4. Do not use regular Windex on the glass door – over time it will “eat” through the K Coating of our doors.

• One-part vinegar ten parts water will work,
• Sparkle Glass Cleaner and High Sheen will also work.
• Do not touch the halogen bulb glass shield – it is extremely hot and will burn through the rag and will also crack the shield.
• Wipe down the front and side of unit to remove grease.

Re-install main wheel assembly lower drip pan, internal panels and all spits.

Best practices:

Do not use garden hose or power washer on the inside of the unit.

• Allowing the unit to cool down completely before cleaning will let the grease harden and render it much more difficult to clean correctly.
• If spraying degreaser directly inside the unit, avoid spraying the motor gears. Over time the degreaser will eat away the internal lubricants inside the motor gears and will make it inoperable.

Make sure to re-install lower drip pan before cooking – always add 1.5” to 2” of water in lower drip pan to avoid risk of grease splatter and internal fire.

WEEKLY:

The following assumes all above cleaning procedures have been performed no less than once a day to keep the unit in clean condition.

• Remove top roof shield by unscrewing wing nuts – clean thoroughly and re install.

MONTHLY:

Soak all internal cooking components overnight in a degreaser solution. Gently scrub the following morning to remove all baked-on grease.
