COOKING INFORMATION Your chicken rotisserie LM-8 or LM-12 can cook respectively up to 8 or 12 chickens of 3 1/2 pounds at a time. The cooking time depends on the quantity of chicken that is cooked at a time, the weight of each chicken, the interior temperature of the chicken and some other factors as the amount of water and grease contained in the chicken. Experience will be your guide and in a short time you will become a "Roast Master ". 8 or 12 chickens of 3 pounds each should take approximately 75 minutes to cook. STEPS LM-8A and LM-12A 1. Place chicken on spits (2 chicken per spit). When the chickens are placed on the spits, be sure that the front of the chicken comes in first and the breast is on the flat side of the "V" of the spit. The spit should be going out between the attached legs and the back of the chicken. Once the chicken is inside the rotisserie, facing the rotisserie, you should see the chicken legs. 2. Program the temperature control by selecting at first the cooking temperature, at second the holding temperature when cooking is finished and finally the cooking time. A cooking temperature of 500 F is recommended. 3. Pre-heat the rotisserie by starting the motor and the heating elements. When the interior temperature of the rotisserie has reached the cooking temperature you programmed, letters "HLD" on the control will cease to flash and you'll hear an alarm (it takes 8 to 10 minutes to reach an interior temperature of 500 F). 4. When the interior temperature of the rotisserie is reached, install the chicken inside by sliding the spits on the rotating shafts. The spits have a bayonet lock-up system. 10
COOKING (continued) STEPS (continued) LM-8A and LM-12A 5. Close the door and press on the "start" button. The control will start its count down according to the cooking time chosen. 6. When the pre-set cooking time is completed, an alarm will sound and the letters "HLD" will appear on the control. The rotisserie is now on holding mode. It will keep the chicken at the pre-set temperature you chose. (See Hygienic rules #6). 7. With an asepticized meat thermometer you can verify the temperature of the chicken. A chicken is cooked when it has reach 185 F. 8. The chicken, once it's cooked, can be kept in the rotisserie on hold mode "HLD" or it can be transfer to a warm display if you need to cook immediately some more chicken. (If you need a warmer display, we invite you to contact your Resfab distributor. Resfab also manufacture high quality warmers which will be in harmony with your rotisserie). 9. If you keep chickens in the rotisserie, the hold temperature recommended is 160º F. 11
COOKING (continued) STEPS LM-8M and LM-12M 1. Place chicken on spits (2 chickens per spit). When the chickens are placed on the spits, be sure that the front of the chicken comes in first and the breast is on the flat side of the "V" of the spit. The spit should be going out between the attached legs and the back of the chicken. Once the chicken is inside the rotisserie, facing the rotisserie, you should see the chicken legs. 2. Pre-heat the rotisserie by activating the motor and by setting the thermostat at the cooking temperature desired. 500º F is the recommended cooking temperature. 3. When the cooking temperature is reach, the red indicator light will lit off. This light turns on when the electric elements are heating. During the cooking cycle, this light will lit on and lit off very often (calculate from 8 to 10 minutes for the inside temperature reaches 500º F). 4. When the interior temperature of the rotisserie is reached, install the chicken inside by sliding the spits on the rotating shafts. The spits have a bayonet lock-up system. 5. Close the door and with the help of a timer, set the desired cooking time. 6. When the cooking time is expired, verify with a disinfected thermometer. A chicken is cooked at 185º F. 7. Chicken, when cooked, can be kept in the rotisserie or be transferred in a warmer display in order to start cooking immediately some more chicken. (If you need a warmer display, we invite you to contact your Resfab distributor. Resfab also manufacture high quality warmers which will be in harmony with your rotisserie). 8. If you keep the chickens in the rotisserie, the recommended hold temperature is of 160º F. 12
COOKING WITH MULTIPLE LOADING If desire, you can start by cooking a few chicken and add some at regular interval to enable you to get a regular production. CAUTION When you use the multiple loading method, always use the higher spits for the first load. NEVER place uncooked meat on top of cooked or partially cooked meat. Juice from the uncooked meat can contaminate the uncooked or partially cooked meat. 13
