Dealng with a tranlation about toasters, I found the term "whirlpole". Can You help me to find the english/italian definition? Thanks. CDL

vertical rotisserie spit
Explanation:
With no context, I am guessing to help you along your way.

rotisserie is usually horizontal with the 'pole' being called a 'spit'
The pole goes through the meat to be grilled and holds in place relative to the spit so that when the spit rotates, it rotates the meat, too.

Think of Doener or Gyros, that is the ticket.

This might help you along.

Explanation:
Unfortunately not. Other sentence are:Open the toaster door at first, and take out the whirlpole...take out the food with whirlpole by the hole fork...If you don¡¯t use the whirlpole, but when you start the timer, the sleeve of the toaster... I started to think that the client did some mistake in the first translation.

  -> obviously it was a mistake...

neutral  Monika Coulson: Hi Cesare, if you are the asker, then you are not supposed to give answers to your own questions. I assume this was an honest mistake though ;). You should use the above box "Notes to/from Asker" to give more context or agree/disagree with the answers.

agree  Tony M: Yes, but over here there do exist vertical rotisseries, and this description and instructions would fit perfectly!

agree  Dave Calderhead: All we have to find now is the 'hole fork' - should that be 'spit hole' or 'spit motor seat(ing)' perhaps?
