Press and hold ‘STOP’ for 3 seconds to stop any action except an AUTOCLEAN cycle.)
6. Maintenance 6.1 Daily Cleaning 6.1.1 During the Day ALWAYS ALLOW THE ROTISSERIE TO SUFFICIENTLY COOL BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAN IT. It is recommended to clean the inner glass with a soft, damp cloth after every cooking cycle. This will lead to optimal cleaning results without scratching the glass.
6.2 Weekly Inspection Thoroughly inspect the venting components supplied with the rotisserie for signs of damage (dents, perforations, etc). Replace with certified Hardt components if required. Ensure that the electrical cord, water and gas lines are free from damage and kinks.
7. Troubleshooting DISCONNECT POWER TO THE ROTISSERIE BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE, SERVICE OR CLEANING IS PERFORMED. ROTISSERIES EQUIPPED WITH CASTERS ARE SECURED IN PLACE USING A RESTRAINING CABLE LOCATED ON THE RIGHT REAR UNDERSIDE OF THE ROTISSERIE. THIS CABLE MUST BE DISCONNECTED PRIOR TO REMOVING THE ROTISSERIE AND CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE IT IS CONNECTED ONCE THE ROTISSERIE HAS BEEN RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL POSITION.
If the rotisserie goes into safety lockout again, there is most likely a component failure. Turn the rotisserie OFF and contact your local authorized Hardt service provider. Burner Figure 7-3: Burner & Flame Sensor 7.3 Replacing the Halogen Lamp 1.
