IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 3
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
These items: Heat Shield, Non-stick Grate Cover and Drip Tray must always be in
place when using your Rotisserie. When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should always be taken, including the following:
1. VERY IMPORTANT: Read all instructions and watch instructional DVD before using
the machine.
2. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse cord, plug or appliance itself
in water or other liquids.
3. Do not touch hot surfaces. NOTE: (Glass Door, top, back and sides of the Rotisserie,
as well as the Dual Heating Tray, Drip Tray, Non-stick Grate Cover, Heat Shield and
Heating Element all get very hot during use and retain heat after use – even when
Glass Door is positioned underneath the unit.) Always use adequate oven mitts or
gloves when handling these hot surfaces and when checking hot foods.
4. FOR ADULT USE ONLY: Close supervision is always necessary when the Rotisserie
is used near children.
5. Unplug Rotisserie from outlet when not in use, and allow unit to cool thoroughly
before putting on or taking off parts, such as the Non-stick Drip Tray, and Non-stick
Grate Cover, and before cleaning.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to
Ronco Holdings, Inc. for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.
Call 1-800-486-1806 for return instructions.
7. Turn off and unplug the Rotisserie if you smell or see heavy smoke or fire. After it
has cooled down, make adjustments so nothing touches the Heating Element as the
food rotates. Do not open the Glass Door until it has cooled down. This is an electrical
appliance; never put water in it, or on it to cool it down or stop it from smoking.
8. Do not use any attachments or anything that is not recommended by Ronco Holdings,
Inc. The use of such items may be hazardous.
9. Do not use outdoors.
10. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
11. Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven
or near easily flammable material.
12. Use only on a stable, heat-resistant surface and place unit at least 8” (inches) from
walls and 8” clear above unit.
13. To disconnect, turn machine Timer to “OFF” position, then grip plug and pull from
wall outlet. Do not pull on cord.
14. Always unplug the unit before attempting to move it. Never move the unit when
it contains hot oil, liquids or hot foods.
15. Use extreme caution when working near the hot pieces and the Heating Element
after using Rotisserie as these parts become (and remain) very hot. Also use maxi-

mum care when removing Drip Tray or disposing of hot grease or other hot liquids.
16. When using the Rotisserie Baskets, be sure no small bones or other food can fall
between or extend beyond the wires and catch on the Non-stick Grate Cover or
Heating Element or anything else during rotation. It is important to check while
cooking. If the food moves around inside the Basket, stop the machine. Put Oven
Gloves on and carefully take out the Basket. Tighten the lid down further so the
food can’t move or slip around in the Basket as it rotates. The Basket gets hot
so please use caution.
17. Do not clean with a metal scouring pad. Pieces can break off the pad and touch
electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock. In addition, scouring pads may
damage Rotisserie finish or the nonstick parts.
18. Do not use appliance for other than its intended use.
19. Oversized foods that touch Heating Element must be trimmed down and metal
utensils must not be inserted in the appliance as they may create a fire or risk
of electrical shock.
20. Front, back, top, bottom and side surfaces become very hot. Do not allow contact
with any objects other than the Dual Heating Tray (sold separately) in its proper op-
erating position. A fire may occur if the Rotisserie is covered or touching flammable
material, including curtains, draperies, walls, and the like, when in operation.
21. Do not place or store any objects or material other than foods and manufacturer’s
recommended accessories in the Rotisserie. Do not place or store anything on top
of the Rotisserie when it is plugged in other than the Dual Heating Tray. (sold sepa-
rately)
22. Unplug unit before changing/replacing the interior light bulb (25 watt small
appliance bulb).
23. Polarized Electrical Plug: To reduce the hazard of potential shock, this item has a
polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other), which will fit only one way in a
polarized outlet. If the plug does not fit the outlet properly, turn the plug the other
way; if it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician for assistance. Never use
this plug with an extension cord unless it fits properly. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DEFEAT
THIS SAFETY FEATURE.
24. SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS: A short cord is provided to reduce the risks of
becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used
if care is exercised in their use and the wattage rating is at least as great as the
wattage stamped on the back of the appliance. If an extension cord is used, it
should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter or tabletop where
it can be reached by children or tripped over accidentally.
25. HEAR A SQUEAK? No problem. Put a drop or two of vegetable oil on the Gear Wheel
Nub before inserting the Spit Rod Assembly in the machine.

CLEANING & CARE 5
IMPORTANT: “Set It and Forget It” ® only after all instructional materials
(written and DVD) have been carefully followed.
Make sure food safely rotates without touching the Heating Element.
Please Don’t Take “Set It and Forget It”® Literally
Always use caution and check on your Rotisserie from time to time.
It is highly unlikely, but if you should see or smell heavy smoke it’s because the food is
rubbing against the hot Heating Element. This indicates that the meat or poultry is too
big or it wasn’t placed properly - or the food is off-center (lopsided) on the spit rods or
in the basket. If this occurs:
Turn off and unplug your machine. Do not open the Glass Door. Let it cool down.
Trim any excess fat or meat, position your food tightly in the basket and be sure the
food is centered in the basket so it always rotates without touching the Heating Element.
Cleaning and Caring for your Rotisserie
The Glass Door: Set the right side pin in the bottom first then slide the left pin in.
After Use: Unplug and allow it to cool before washing any parts. NOTE: The Heating
Element cleans itself and no other maintenance is necessary.
The Light: The light is on when the heat is on. If you need to replace the bulb, it uses
a 25 watt appliance bulb.
Never Use Metal Cleaning Pads on the Non-stick Surfaces. They will permanently
scratch the surfaces of the Grate Cover, Drip Tray, Steaming Tray, etc.
Discoloration? Some discoloration over time is to be expected when you work with
hot food - especially food with fat. It’s normal and will not affect the function. On white
machines it gets slightly browner on the front of the machine behind the Glass Door
and on the Dual Heating Tray. Fat from roast beef can be the worst offender. While not
recommended, you can return your machine and, for a nominal fee, the factory will
refinish the special outside surface.
Any repairs should be handled only by an authorized service facility. Call Customer
Service 7 days a week at 1-800-486-1806 (there is a 24-hour Phone Message Center
after hours). If all lines are busy, please contact us at customerser[email protected]
or www.Ronco.com.
BEFORE FIRST USE: Be sure the Rotisserie is not plugged in. Wash and dry the
removable parts in warm soapy water. Never immerse the machine or the cord in
water. Keep at least 8 inches of clearance on all sides and do not place it under a
cabinet when in use. A little smoke is normal when you first use the machine.

INSTRUCTIONS
Heat Shield
NOTE: The Heat Shield is not included in the 3000 Series models.
Never operate without Heat Shield in place behind the Heating Element. Insert it from
the top. Discoloration over time is normal. From time to time you can remove it and use
steel wool to remove and clean any grease buildup. It is also dishwasher safe.
Non-stick Drip Tray and Non-stick Grate Cover must always be in place when using
the rotisserie.
Dishwasher Safe! You can put the Drip Tray, Basket and the Glass Door (if it will fit)
all in your dishwasher. Rinse off any grease first.
Even Easier Clean Up! You can line the bottom of your Drip Tray with a small sheet
of aluminum foil. Be sure it is flat against the bottom.
Non-stick Spit Rod Assembly
Removable gear wheel fits on the Spit Rods after food (or
Basket) is loaded in place. It is heavy and has sharp gear
teeth. When carrying the Spit Rod Assembly always tilt
this end upward so it won’t fall off.
CAREFUL! Use CAUTION. Tips are sharp. Please be very
careful with your hands when loading any food onto the Spit
Rods.
Spit Rods are connected with screws to one gear wheel.
Place the removable gear wheel on after the food is loaded.
Carving Platform keeps the Spit Rod Assembly in place so you
can load food in upright position on a counter top or in a sink.
8 INSTRUCTIONS: Non-stick Spit Rod Assembly
VERY IMPORTANT: Always
put the Heat Shield, Non-
Stick Drip Tray and Grate
Cover in place
before operating.
Meijer.com
Showtime® Rotisserie
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 Oven
Gloves are not insulated enough to adequately protect you from
the hot surfaces you are handling, set whatever you are holding
down immediately and wait until the food and the metal parts
cool down. You may want to use a thicker oven glove or mitt.
Rotisserie Basket
Perfect for hamburgers, chicken pieces, vegetables, whole fish
and fish fillets, steaks, chops, cutlets and smaller flat roasts.
After putting the food in the Basket, compress the Basket lid very
tightly so no food can move, whatsoever. This can be done by
compressing the lid further. CAUTION: The Basket gets hot.
Be sure nothing extends out between the wires. Make sure
wings are all secure inside the Basket with no parts hanging
out so they can’t slip out and hang up on Grate Cover or Heating
Element.
You can use a small strip of aluminum foil inside the Basket
on the top and bottom edges (the edges that rotate near the
Heating Element) to keep the tips of the wings from burning.
Set the Spit Rods in the Carving Platform. Line up the two small
loops on the Basket with the Spit Rods. Then drop the Basket
down on the Spit Rods, and match it to the corresponding loops
on the other end of the Rotisserie Basket.
Check the Basket 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 can remove the Basket
by keeping it in a horizontal position.
REMEMBER THE FOOD, SPIT ROD ASSEMBLY AND THE BASKET
ARE ALL HOT – TAKE PRECAUTIONS.
INSTRUCTIONS: Rotisserie Basket & Speed Basket 9
CAUTION: Keep at least 8” clearance all around from walls, cabinets and other
objects when using the rotisserie to prevent heat damage. Don’t put charcoal
briquettes, hickory chips or anything else in the machine that is not authorized by
Ronco Holdings, Inc. Do not use under cabinets. ROTISSERIE IS HOT!

10 INSTRUCTIONS: How to Tie Chicken
How to Tie Chicken
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 Ele-
ment and is evenly centered all around.
It is recommended that you cut off the tail from the chicken and remove any excess fat
or loose hanging parts – especially around the main cavity so heat can enter inside the
chicken while it’s cooking.
The illustration shows how to tie a bird with one or two ties.
How to tie a chicken using 1 tie
With one tie you go behind each wing, cross over 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 cutting off the
excess with scissors.
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 Oven Gloves are not insulated enough to adequately protect you
from the hot surfaces you are handling, set whatever you are holding down
immediately and wait until the food and the metal parts cool down. You may
want to use a thicker oven glove or mitt.
