POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS  
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider  
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit  
into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly  
fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a  
competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in  
any way.  
For appliances equipped with a standard plug, simply insert the plug  
into the outlet without paying attention to the way you plug it.  
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS  
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting  
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.  
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.  
The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least  
that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension  
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.  
The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will  
not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be  
pulled on by children or tripped over.

KNOW YOUR APPLIANCE  
Temperature control range is 390°F (Low setting) – 515°F (High  
setting)  
Timer range is 0 to 99 minutes.  
Your oven’s cavity has been coated with a non stick material to  
enable an easier cleaning of the cavity walls.  
Your oven is also equipped with center heating element that  
enables the food to be cooked from the inside out, while the  
outer heating elements cook from the outside in. This special  
feature enables the food to cook much quicker. It is not  
recommended to switch on the center heating element if you  
want the food to be cooked “rare” of “medium-rare”, especially  
for roast beef.  
5
USK DGR 31031- 100326  
 
Removable parts are dishwasher safe (except main housing),  
making cleaning up easy  
Contrary to traditional rotisserie systems, this appliance has no  
moving parts (pit or fan) which make it very silent. Hot air will  
circulate around the roast to enable even cooking results.  
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR COOKING MEAT  
AND POULTRY – TIPS FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS  
NOTE: Please read this entire Use / Care Guide thoroughly before  
using.  
Caution: Always make sure that meat and poultry are  
thoroughly cooked before eating. The juices from  
poultry should run clear when cooking process is  
complete.  
All meat and poultry should be thoroughly defrosted before  
cooking. Have foods at room temperature before placing them in  
the rotisserie.  
We recommend the use of a meat thermometer to ensure the  
food is cooked thoroughly.  
Cooking times will vary according to shape, thickness and  
composition of food. It is recommended that food be checked  
after the minimum time stated to avoid over cooking.  
The maximum recommended size for poultry is 10 lb.  
Cooking times for beef will vary depending if you want it “rare” or  
“well done.” Recommended internal temperatures for beef are:  
rare 140oF; medium rare 145oF; medium 160oF; well done 170oF.  
For adding flavor, do marinate or apply rubs, seasonings and spices  
to foods, but this prior loading into the rotisserie.  
For easier cleanup, spray the rotisserie parts and accessories with a  
spray-on cooking oil before cooking. DO NOT spray the part with  
an aerosol during the cooking or while the rotisserie is in function.  
Remember small poultries (6 or 8 lb.) cook much quicker than  
larger ones (10lb.) Use a meat thermometer to control the cooking  
at regular intervals.  
Select roasts that have and even shape as they will cook in a more  
uniform way.  
It is important to position the center heating element cover as  
centered as possible into the roast, especially at the large end if  
6
USK DGR 31031- 100326  
 
the roast is not evenly shaped. Position the larger end of the roast  
at the top, not at the bottom.  
If the roast is short, please leave it positioned near the top instead  
of near the bottom end of the center heating element.  
Do not serve immediately after cooking is finished. Let the food rest  
for 10 minutes after removing from the rotisserie, before serving, to  
allow a more juicy poultry or roast.  
For meat cut in pieces, like pork chops or sausages or chicken  
breast, it is advised to use the skewers.  
BEFORE THE FIRST USE  
Unpack the appliance and accessories, then wash and wipe  
these accessories. Wipe the inside and outside of the rotisserie  
with a sponge or damp cloth and dry thoroughly.  
NEVER IMMERSE IN WATER  
It is normal if some smoke or smell emanates from the appliance  
when using it for the first time. This is not harmful. In order to  
eliminate any packing oil that may remain after production, we  
recommend to operate the appliance for 15 minutes, using the  
rotisserie on its maximum temperature setting (HIGH).  
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
CAUTION:  
NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE!  
WARNING: THE LID OF THE ROTISSERIE GETS VERY HOT DURING USE;  
ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES AND HANDLE WITH CARE  
To make the rotisserie easier to clean, hold the drip tray and the  
inside of the lid and spray with a non-stick cooking spray. Do the  
same for the Center heating element cover and the tower  
accessory when they will be used  
Position the drip tray around the heating element and slide it in  
position  
Follow step A, B or C below before powering on the rotisserie  
7
USK DGR 31031- 100326  
 
A - PREPARE MEAT  
Place meat (roast) on a plate or cutting board. With a knife, cut  
and X-shaped slit through the center of the roast, large enough  
for the center heating element cover to fit in.  
NOTE : if using smaller roasts or meat cut in pieces, you can use  
the tower of the skewers instead  
Position the cover with the mounted roast over the center  
heating element.  
B- PREPARE POULTRY  
The giblets should be removed from the poultry  
Feed the center heating element cover through the bottom of  
the tower  
Pull the chicken open and mount it over the top of the tower, so  
that the drumsticks hang downwards on the side of the tower.  
Make sure the center heating element cover’s end comes  
through the neck of the chicken, or extends through the front of  
the body cavity as much as possible, if the poultry is large.  
Lift the poultry, using the metal loop at the end of the center  
cover, with the hook handle, and position the center cover over  
the heating element, with the poultry mounted. The bottom of  
the tower shall rest on the drip pan.  
C- USING SKEWERS  
To make kebabs or roasts smaller pieces of meat, the skewers will  
come handy.  
Cut the meat in small pieces, marinate if desired, and then add  
the cubed meat / small pieces / sausages onto the skewers.  
When skewers are loaded with food, insert the short end of the  
skewer’s shaft into the holes of the tower so that they fit into  
vertical position  
Slide the tower into position around the central heating element,  
so that it stands on the drip tray.

USING THE ROTISSERIE  
Place the lid, plug the unit on and press “ON/OFF” once. The unit  
will beep twice and the digital display will start flashing “00”. The  
“HIG” and “POULTRY” indicator turn on, and the 4 light indicators  
for the heating elements will flash on.  
These 4 lights indicate which heating elements will turn on when  
the rotisserie starts cooking. The 3 outer lights indicate the outer  
heating elements, the center light indicates the center heating  
element.  
The “center heater” button will switch the center heating  
element on and off, also during the cooking cycle.  
Press “SELECT” button to choose “POULTRY” or “MEAT” type,  
indicated by the “MEAT” and “POULTRY” lights.  
Press the “+” or “-” keypad to increase or decrease the cooking  
time desired. The maximum cooking time is 99 minutes.  
Press the “HEAT” button to select “HIGH” or “LOW” (see  
recommendations in the table hereafter). The indicator light  
indicates the program selected; most of the time you will use the  
“HIGH” setting, but the “LOW” setting is interesting to experiment  
with.  
Press “START/PAUSE” button, the “On” light will illuminate and the  
digital display will start to count down. When the heating  
elements turn on, two of the lights will flash in a circular array,  
alternating in a circular pattern. It is normal for the 3 outer heating  
elements not to work at the same time.  
CAUTION: the lid will become very hot during cooking. Handle with  
care and with oven mitts or pads. The roasting process generates  
steam that can cause burns. Tilt the glass lid when opening so that  
the steam is directed away from the face and hands.  
Check the internal temperature of the food periodically with a  
food thermometer until the food is done.  
When the cooking cycle is finished, the rotisserie will beep twice,  
the digital display will show “00” and the heating elements will  
turn off automatically. Using a hot pad or oven mitt, carefully  
remove the glass lid  
9
USK DGR 31031- 100326  
 
Insert the hook handle into the loop at the end of the heating  
element cover or at the top of the drip tray to lift the food, using 2  
hands for large birds or roasts. Place on a large tray or shallow  
pan.  
Allow food to rest for 10 to 15 minutes for best results.  
For skewers, carefully remove them from the tower, and slide the  
food onto a plate.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
Switch off the appliance by pressing “ON/OFF” on the control  
panel in OFF position.  
10  
USK DGR 31031- 100326  
 
Carefully remove Drip Tray from Main Body and pour grease into  
a suitable container.  
All removable parts are dishwasher safe or may be washed by  
hand in hot soapy water.  
Over time, the tower, center cover and skewers will discolor - this  
is normal. The Glass Lid may have to be cleaned with a 3M  
scouring pad or similar, along with a non-abrasive cleanser, to  
remove burnt-on grease. Rinse and set aside to air-dry.  
To remove baked-on food residue easily, place parts in hot soapy  
water and let stand for 20 - 30 minutes before hand washing.  
Wipe interior of main body and heating elements with a damp  
cloth or sponge, and dishwashing detergent, to remove grease.  
To clean grease spatters behind the heating elements, carefully  
slide a paper towel or sponge dampened with water and  
dishwashing detergent. Slide behind the element and dry with a  
paper towel or soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers on  
exterior or interior surfaces.  
To clean cooked-on foods from interior surfaces or glass window,  
use a plastic bristle brush, or a polyester or nylon mesh pad,  
dampened with a dishwashing detergent and water. NEVER  
spray cleaners directly into the interior surfaces of the Main Body.  
Clean spills from exterior of Main Body with a damp cloth after  
each use. Dry thoroughly with soft cloth.  
DO NOT IMMERSE THE MAIN BODY OF THE APPLIANCE IN WATER OR  
ANY OTHER LIQUID.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
Meat roasts stick to center heating element cover.  
Did you remember to grease this part before loading the roast?  
Is the roast very lean? Remember to let the roast stand about 10  
minutes before trying to remove it from the shaft.  
Try loosening the meat from around the top and bottom of the  
shaft, then push the top of the shaft down through the meat. If it’s  
still stuck, cut the roast lengthwise down one entire side, and then  
11  
USK DGR 31031- 100326  
 
slip the shaft out. Cut the roast on the other side so that you have  
2 long pieces. Slice the roast thinly to serve.  
Turkey will not fit in unit.  
Some turkey breasts are hard to position. Try to centre them as  
much as possible, using the tower.  
Use string and skewers to help keep the turkey breast in place if  
necessary.  
Large birds may simply not fit in. We do not recommend using for  
birds over 10 lb.  
Try placing the bird in the rotisserie without the tower.  
The roasts and poultry are not thoroughly done.  
The times in the user guide are approximate. Increase the  
cooking times  
Timer is not set up correctly. Recdommended times shall be used  
as a starting point.  
Meat is done inside but overdone outside  
Meat is thick and requires more cooking time at reduced speed.  
Try cooking on High for half of the cooking time, and switch to  
LOW mid-cycle until theend of the cooking time.  
Unit does not turn on or will not get hot  
Did you plug the unit in?  
You MUST set the timer before pushing the Start/Pause button.  
Cannot change countdown minutes on display  
Timer buttons must be pushed firmly. You may not have pushed  
hard enough or long enough.  
To advance time quickly, push and hold the timer button for 1 full  
second.  
Some smoke is visible during use  
During first use, it is normal to have some smoke coming from the  
unit. Smoke from food splatters on subsequent use is also normal.  
Did you wipe out the interior of the unit after the last use?  
Is roast or poultry touching the heating elements? Did you tie  
chicken wings in so they won’t touch the heating elements?  
12  
USK DGR 31031- 100326  
 
Is fat and dripping spattering onto the heating elements during  
cooking?  
Grease/drippings may ooze out onto counter.  
Make sure the drip tray is properly in place.  
During use, some dripping may spatter onto interior walls and run  
down into the bottom of the unit, bypassing the drip tray.  
Drippings may also run down the centre are, collecting in the  
bottom.  
Does the food being cooked have a high quantity of fat? You  
may have to pause halfway through cooking, remove the  
roast/bird, and then carefully empty the drip tray.  
If cooked food is allowed to stand in the unit to cool,  
condensation will collect and run down the interior walls to the  
bottom of the unit.  
Be sure the rotisserie is completely cooled down before  
attempting to clean the inside.  
Meat roasts cook unevenly.  
Did you thread the roast onto the shaft evenly? Roasts need to  
be centered on the Shaft toward the top of the unit to cook  
evenly.  
Was the roast oddly shaped, with a small pointed end and a  
large wide end? Then try cooking a roast without the centre  
element on for more typical cooked results.  
There’s a hole in the middle of the roast.  
This is typical of any roast that is cooked on a rotisserie-type  
appliance. Since the centre heating element helps cook the  
roast, the hole in the meat may be a little more noticeable than  
from other rotisseries. However, the roasts also cook much more  
quickly.  
To try to minimize the shaft hole, turn off the centre element. It will  
take longer to cook, but the hole will be much less noticeable.
