Maintenance Tips

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the machine. Remove and clean the drip tray, burner protection mesh, and stainless steel scoop. Wipe down the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners and high-pressure water to prevent damage.

• Weekly Inspection: Check the ceramic burner plates and individual burner controls for proper operation. Clean the burners to remove any grease buildup. Inspect the motor and ensure it operates smoothly.

• Monthly Maintenance: Examine the spit and motor assembly for wear or damage. Lubricate moving parts as recommended in the user manual. Ensure the burners can be adjusted closer or farther from the meat using the front knob for precise cooking.
