That's cool! I've never seen anything like it. I wonder if it can really get all the burned on splatters cleaned up? That spray arm is certainly whipping around.

Euugene, if washed every day the grease doesn't really get a chance to burn on!

That's great if you want to roast 35 chickens 7 times a day!
I guess if Michael Phelps were to be a house guest (along with Kirstie Alley), then it might come in handy.
Also, I may be wrong, but only the electric version of this rotisserie is self-cleaning. The gas version is more mundane (but being a Hobart I'm sure it's a great machine as well).

I have seen an oven very close to this at our local Wally World. It is used to rotissarie chicken for the come home from work crowd. And it's a Hobart too with the same control panel.
I haven't seen it in cleaning mode though, just in bake mode.

The one we saw cleaning itself was gas!
I was staring at the flex conector that was coated with yellow vinyl! Because I kpet saying to myself Gas? / Water? together? Can't be.
Am not sure but thre may be a cover/panel that comes over the burners.

Gas-heated, self-cleaning using water!
So we have gas and water in the same appliance...and we still don't see any new combination washer/dryers that are gas -heated *FEH* !

They use these ovens at my COSTCO to roast the chickens, so we can see them in action every night right before closing time when they're starting to clean up the store!! Very neat.
It's funny how the model number begins with "KA"......wonder what that's about?

Thanks Guys for the publicity!
Thanks for highlighting our new Rotisseries. While self cleaning ovens of this sort are not new, Combi ovens(steam, heat or combination of both) have been self cleaning for many years. This is a new twist on an older concept. We have installed a few of them in the Orlando Area and they have been well received. Literally a dishwasher inside an oven but customers who have gotten used to them seem to really love them. Sure beats cleaning all that mess out of them and take it from me, if they do it right and as recommended, they will not have the grease buildup and cooking issues endemic in any manufacturer's rotisserie ovens. It is truly amazing what you come across in the field.
It is always fun when they call and say the oven caught fire
or it smoked out the deli!
We teach them on the initial install how to disassemble the standard rotiserries to keep them clean but they seem to forget they need to be cleaned as soon as they load in the first batch of chickens.
And Yes, Andrew, I thought the same thing when I saw the "KA" model designation.
There is actually one right in your backyard too.. Mayflower Retirement has a brand new one. Took a few tries for them to understand the washing system and time/cycle requirements, but now they have it down pat and the food service director loves it and says the employees do too.
Lookeds spotless inside when I was there last week.

Toggles,
Well... the Hobart spec sheet you posted was for their electric version. Do you have a spec sheet for the Hobart gas version, that states it's self-cleaning as well?

Now why can't our home versions be "self cleaning"...imagine an oven by day and wash the dishes by night after dinner...
an electric oven already has a heating element...just need a deeper well for the water, a rack insert maybe, and a washarm or two....
talk about saving space in a tight kitchen, and its either cooking or cleaning, imagine, the pots used for cooking your meal will return to the oven to be cleaned, does your turkey roaster fit into your regular dishwasher? it will now!
from convection/air to potscrubber in the push of a button!

I can see some "issues" with a combo oven/dishwasher.
For one, the racks wouldn't be able to have any plastic on them. Maybe heat tolerant silicone, but that would be $$$.
Second, any rubber seals would probably go away quickly. All the parts would have to be some sort of metal, including the filters and valves. This would add to the overall expense. A commercial unit probably has the space for catching drips and extra large bearing assemblies with water drains... a home unit probably would have to skimp on such amenities. And a commercial unit probably could leak a little without the business throwing a fit. A homeowner with a leaky oven/dishwasher probably would scream.
Then there's the operator error problem: how many times would Miss Household manage to send the thanksgiving turkey through a pot scrubber cycle before she explodes and demands a full refund?
