Using the rotisserie
For best cooking results, do not use main
grill burners when using the rotisserie.
The rotisserie system is designed to cook
food from the rear using intense, searing
infrared heat.
1. Remove warming shelf.
2. Mount rotisserie motor on the grill's
mounting bracket. Position it securely
into support bracket slots.
3. To load the spit rod, slide one of the
rotisserie forks onto the spit rod with
prongs facing away from handle.
4. Push spit rod through the center of the
food, then slide second rotisserie fork
into position.
5. Center the food and rotisserie forks on
spit rod and tighten wing nuts on the
rotisserie forks. If necessary, secure
loose food portions with butcher's
string only. Never use nylon or plastic
string which will melt and ruin the food.
6. Once the food is positioned on spit rod,
place pointed end of rod into rotisserie
motor and lower spit rod onto supports
at either side of the grill.
IMPORTANT: On Models KFGR292LSS,
KFGR382LSS and
KBGN292LSS, remove
the handle from the spit
rod when using the side
burner. The handle will
get “HOT” and failure to
remove it will cause the
handle to crack and
melt.

Using the smoker box(es)
Your grill may have one or two slide-out
smoker boxes that can be used with the
main grill burners or the rotisserie.
The smoker trays are designed for easy
use. After deciding which wood chips to
use, follow the instructions on wood chip
packaging. Small size chips or pellets are
recommended.
1. Slide box and chip cover out of smoker
compartment.
2. Remove cover
from box. Turn
cover over and
fill with
prepared
chips.

chip cover. Hold cover and box together
and turn right side up.
4. Slide box and cover back into smoker
compartment.
Light the smoker burner(s) 5 minutes
ahead of time to start them smoking. The
specially-designed smoker will smoke the
food while the grill burners or rotisserie
cooks it. Keeping the hood closed as
much as possible will maximize the
smoking effect.
