AR-6G Gas Oven
- Step 1 - Rotate the desired gas valve knob to the ignite position (H=High).

- Step 4 - Insert the food products onto the spit, spacing them evenly along the length.
- Step 5 - After preheating, properly insert the “T” shaped, spit drive hub onto the spit drive shaft. Turn the spit slightly to ensure it’s correctly positioned. Place the opposite end of the spit on the spit retaining bracket.
- Step 6 - Once all spits are loaded and inserted, close the oven door. Select and activate the geared motors with the spit rotation switches for each spit.
- Step 7 - Allow the food product to cook fully according to food safety standards, then remove the spits and food product.
- Step 8 - Turn the oven off by rotating the gas valve knob to the OFF position.
