Step 1 Familiarize yourself with the lifting handle assembly.
a. Hold the black lifting handle so the grip is toward
you (Fig. 22).
b. The lifting handle assembly contains the locking
plate, which spins. There are metal locking tabs on
each side of the plate that move up and down. Each
tab has a keyhole slot (Fig. 23A and Fig. 23B).
When both locking tabs are moved so the round
end of the keyhole slots are in the center of the
locking plate (Fig. 22), the plate is in the unlocked
position and the skewers can be inserted or
removed. If the locking tabs are positioned so the
small end of both keyhole slots are in the center of
the locking plate, the plate is in the locked position
and the skewers cannot be inserted or removed.
c. Look at the other side of the locking plate.
There are two cylinder skewer guides on this side
(Fig 24). you need to insert the ends of the skewer
into these guides to lock the lifting handle in place
on the rotisserie.

d. The draining hooks are used to drain the turkey after frying. These are
located just under the locking plate on the metal base of the assembly
(Fig. 25).
e. There are two frying hooks in the black lifting handle. They fit over the
rim of the removable pot and support the lifting handle while frying.
Step 2 Before attaching the locking plate to the skewer ends protruding from the
turkey, make sure the locking tabs are in the unlocked position (Fig. 22). The
round end of both keyhole slots should be in the center of the locking plate.
Step 3 Align the two skewer guides on the locking plate with the exposed skewer
ends. Push the locking plate fully onto the skewer ends until the skewer's
stop tabs are against the skewer guides (Fig. 24).
