Operation Rotisserie To load the skewer, slide one of the rotisserie forks (prongs facing away from the end) onto the skewer. Push the skewer through the center of the food, then slide the second rotisserie fork (prongs toward the food) onto the skewer. Center the product to be cooked on the skewer then push the forks firmly toward the food. Tighten the wing nuts with pliers. It may also be necessary to wrap the food with butcher's string to secure loose portions. Never use nylon or plastic string. Once the food is secure, insert the skewer into the motor. To turn on rotisserie motor, flip the ON/OFF switch located on the rotisserie motor assembly. If needed, remove the grill grates. Place the basting pan beneath the food. Keep canopy closed while using the rotisserie. Each peek adds about 15 minutes to the cooking time. A meat thermometer should be used when cooking large pieces of meat to ensure that the meats are rare, medium, and well cooked.

Grilling equipment is no exception. Your grill must be kept clean and maintained properly. Viking highly recommends cleaning the grill after each use. A Viking grill cover (sold separately) should also be strongly considered in order to protect your grill from the elements. Stainless Steel Maintenance in Outdoor Environments Viking outdoor grills are made of the finest grades of stainless steel. However, the stainless steel must be maintained properly over the life of the unit to preserve its elegant appearance and optimal performance. Below are some helpful tips: • Wipe down any exterior grease spatters after each use of the grill. • Regularly wipe down the exterior of the grill with a micro-fiber cloth. • Use a designated stainless steel cleaner to clean and polish exterior surfaces. Some household cleaners are not suitable for stainless steel. • Never place a cover on a damp grill. Make sure the grill is completely dry before covering. • Under certain conditions, such as salty environments near a coastline, or around pools with high chlorine content, small amounts of surface rust may accumulate on stainless steel parts. Small amounts of surface rust can easily be removed by applying Soft Scrub® Gel to a damp sponge and wiping with the stainless steel grain. When dealing with hard to remove stains, use a non-metallic abrasive pad (A Scotch Brite pad for example) along with your stainless steel cleaner, and scrub in the grain direction of the stainless. It is important to wipe with the grain for the most efficient removal of staining. • In extreme cases, it may be beneficial to apply a rust inhibitor coating to the exterior of the grill. Consult your local contractor before applying. IMPORTANT: These tips will help you achieve the maximum life span of your grill. It is important to understand that stainless steel generally has a higher resistance to the effects of environmental exposure, but it will still be affected by the elements. Stainless steel has the potential to degrade just like all other architectural metals. The Limited Lifetime Warranty (page 33) covers rust through of stainless steel parts. It does not cover occasional surface rust and staining. It is important to follow the steps detailed above to guard against these natural occurrences and address them promptly should they arise. 23 Product Care
