The control panel consists of buttons, a rotation pad, and a display screen.

Buttons and Functions:

Rotation Pad:

This pad is used for:

• Navigating through the menu items in the screen.

• Changing the settings.

To change settings quickly:

• Increase value: rub the pad clockwise with one finger.

• Decrease value: rub the pad counter-clockwise with one finger.

Screen Tabs:

• Operate: “Choose between programs” (See section 5 of the manual).

• Settings: “Change settings of programs” (See section 6 of the manual).

• Program: “Creating programs” (See section 7 of the manual).

Switching-on the unit:

Press the ON/OFF button and hold for approx. 3 seconds.

Loading the unit:

When the door is open, press the rotor button to activate the rotor. This allows for easy loading or unloading of the products.

Whilst loading the unit, make sure that the rotor gets evenly loaded, so that the mass of the products is evenly spread over the rotor, causing an equal balance. Do not allow empty meat forks, meat baskets, and chicken racks etc. in the grilling process.

Whole uncut chickens should always be grilled using the meat forks. This way their natural fat will baste each other, giving a perfectly slender cooking result.

1. Insert one point of the meat fork through the chest at the position of the wings. Insert the other point through the drum sticks. Don’t forget to include the wings.

2. Leave some space between the products for an even exposure and browning.

3. Put the meat forks onto the rotor disks in such a way that during grilling, the chicken breasts face the operator.

4. Put the points of the meat forks through the appropriate holes in the rotor disks.

5. The other end of the meat forks must be put through the corresponding holes in the opposite rotor disk.

6. To insert the remaining meat forks in the unit, act as follows:

• Switch on the unit using the on/off button.

• With the door opened, use the rotor button to move the rotor to easily insert the next meat fork. Keep the rotor button pressed until the rotor reaches the desired position. To load the next meat fork, press the rotor button to rotate the rotor to the next loading position.

• Repeat these steps until all products are loaded.

If you are using V-shape spits, act as follows:

• Place the skewer into the small outside hole on the rotor end plate on your left (as you face the oven). The back of the V-shape spit should be pointing towards you.

• Fit the other end of the spit into the small corresponding holes on the rotor end plate on your right (as you face the oven).

• Make sure the spit is level. If the spit is not level, make sure you are using the correct holes on the rotor end plates.

If you are using meat baskets, act as follows:

• Attach the meat baskets to the appropriate pins.

• Whilst loading the unit with meat baskets, you must see to it that the rotor gets evenly loaded so that the mass of the products is evenly spread over the rotor, causing an equal balance.

• Also, see to it that no meat parts are sticking out of the baskets.

WARNING: After loading the rotor, at least make ONE full rotation, and check whether the rotor can spin without obstructions.

If you want to load the unit using two different accessories at the same time, always fill the rotor with ONE accessory fewer than the maximum allowed quantity. See to it that accessories of the same type are placed consecutively.

Example: 4 meat forks + 3 meat baskets consecutively.

Grilling Time Factors:

Grilling time depends on a number of factors:

• The ambient temperature and draft in the direct vicinity of the unit.

• Grilling temperature.

• The initial product temperature.

• The sort of meat (fat or lean) and with or without additives.

• The mass and shape of the product.

• The total amount of meat to be grilled in one grilling cycle.

• The end result.

Seasoning Guidelines:

• Preferably use the special chicken and meat seasonings of the supplier of the Fri-Jado Grill. There are special seasoning mixtures for poultry, lamb, pork, large meat, game, and fish.

• Season the products to be grilled when dry.

• Season the products 90 minutes before grilling at the most to prevent the spices from abstracting too much fluid from the meat.

• Do not add oil or grease while grilling.

• Season chicken on the inside and on the outside.

WARNING: After grilling, the interior of the unit and the glass panes are very hot. Always use oven gloves when taking out the meat forks or other accessories.

Taking out the meat forks:

1. Hold the meat fork firmly.

2. Slightly lift the end with the grips and shift the meat fork into the direction of its points. This releases the meat fork.

3. Take the meat fork at its other end and take it out of the unit.

4. Remove the products from the meat fork.

Taking out the V-shape spit (accessory):

For taking out the V-shape spit, you can use the same principle as described for meat forks.

Taking out the meat basket (accessory):

1. Slightly lift both ends of the meat basket.

2. Move the basket towards either the left or right-hand side of the unit. This action unlocks one end of the basket.

3. Move the unlocked end towards you and take out the basket from the unit.

WARNING: Check the grease container/drawer after each cooking process and empty it when about half full to avoid overflowing.

WARNING: Grease will be hot immediately after cooking. Allow grease to cool or use extreme caution and wear insulated gloves or safety mitts.

For Single Units:

1. Open the under-frame door.

2. Take the grease container out.

If the pre-heat function is activated, the unit will first pre-heat. The screen will display the current temperature and the set pre-heat temperature. When the set temperature is reached, the screen will show “Load products” and a sound is activated. You can then load the oven and start the program.

During the cooking process, the display shows a graph with the planned trajectory (orange time line) and the set temperature (light orange field). In the center of the graph, the program name, current function, and remaining time are shown. At the bottom of the screen, the process steps are given. In the top left section, pictograms of active functions are shown.

When ‘cook correction’ is switched on, the remaining time can be automatically adjusted.
