Using the rotisserie kit
The rotisserie kit itself is not supplied but can be ordered separately. The kit is available from the nearest Fisher & Paykel Authorised Service Centre, Customer Care or through our local website listed on the back cover. The product number for the rotisserie kit is 85109.
Do not use the meat probe when using the rotisserie kit (the cable could become entangled and damaged).
The rotisserie can be used with ANY function, but we recommend Fan Grill for best results.
1. Prepare the rotisserie supports.
- Place the grill tray on the benchtop.
- Insert the supports into the lock studs.
- Fit the support with the rotisserie shaft on the left hand side of the grill tray with the shaft on the outside (as shown).
- Fit the right support so the support angles inward toward the middle of the grill tray.
- Push the supports all the way down to lock them in firmly.
2. Secure the meat.
Take care, the forks are sharp!
Slide one fork on to the skewer (prongs facing inward) and tighten the fastening screw to secure in place. Carefully slide the meat onto the skewer until it rests firmly against the fork.
Fit the second fork, ensuring the meat is held firmly in place. Tighten the fastening screw to secure.
When securing the meat, ensure that:
- the skewer goes through the centre of the meat
- the forks hold the meat firmly in place
- there are no loose or projecting parts. Poultry should be trussed.
The rotisserie can rotate up to 6 kg of meat.
3. Position the skewer on the supports.
- Place the skewer on the supports, ensuring the skewer slots into the spit housing, and check that the meat does not touch the grill tray
- Twist the handle off. It must not be left in the oven.

Tips for using the rotisserie
- The rotisserie will stop rotating when the door is open.
- For food safety reasons, we do not recommend using the rotisserie with stuffed meat.
- If your meat is too big or heavy (over 6 kg) for the skewer, place it on top of the grill rack in the grill tray, and use Roast
. This function will give a result similar to a rotisserie. - Use a meat thermometer to ensure that meat is cooked through to a safe temperature.
- See ‘Care and cleaning’ for advice on cleaning the rotisserie parts.
