OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Guidelines
• Refer to the "Troubleshooting Section" on Pages 21 and 22 for operational problems.
• DO NOT open the smoker door while operating unless it is necessary. Opening the door will allow
heat to escape and prolong the cooking time.
• DO NOT USE CHARCOAL. This appliance is not designed for use with charcoal and a fire will
result if charcoal is used during operation. The fire will create an unsafe condition and damage
the smoker.
• Wood chips must be used to create the smoke and flavor.
• In order to maintain optimal performance, cleaning the smoker after each use is highly
recommended. Wait until the smoker has completely cooled before cleaning. Refer to the
Care and Maintenance section on Page 20.
