Grease Flickers? Foods with high fat content can produce a small flicker of flame as fat spatters off the Heating Element. This is normal. However, if you see smoke or fire, turn off and unplug the machine and let it cool off. Do Not Open The Door until it has cooled down. Never put water on or in the Rotisserie. After it has cooled, check to see if the food has touched the Heating Element. Never cook foods larger than recommended in the booklet for your model of Showtime™ Rotisserie.

For example, keep the small bones of chicken wings securely toward the middle so they can’t slip out and hang up on Grate Cover or Heating Element. Check the Basket occasionally and be sure the food is still tight. If not, stop the machine and carefully take out the Basket and tighten the lid. When the food in the Basket is done, you can remove the Basket by keeping it in a horizontal position
