SAFETY INFORMATION
smoker has cooled sufficiently. It will contain hot liquid, hot ashes and hot grease that may cause
serious injury. If you must move these components, ALWAYS use protective oven mitts or heat-
resistant gloves.
• Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy aluminum foil and putting them in a non-combustible
container. Be sure there are no other combustible materials in or near the container. If you must
dispose of ashes in less time than it takes for them to completely cool, remove the ashes from
the smoker, keeping them in heavy aluminum foil and soaking them completely with water before
disposing of them in a non-combustible container.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion air and/or ventilation air for the smoker.
• Use CAUTION when operating. Tie back long hair while operating the smoker. ALWAYS wear
fully-covering shoes while operating the smoker.
• NEVER use glassware, plastic or ceramic cookware on or in the smoker.
• NEVER operate the smoker without water in the water pan. NEVER allow the water to completely
evaporate. DO NOT clean this product with a water spray or similar cleaner.
• Check the water level at least every two hours. A sizzling sound may indicate a low water level or
billowing smoke may indicate no water in the water pan (grease from the meat will be falling on a
hot, dry water pan). Use caution and follow the instructions in this manual for adding water while
smoker is operating, as hot water may splash up and cause serious injury.
• When using flavoring wood, add a sufficient amount prior to operation to avoid having to add wood
while smoker is operating.
• The use of accessory attachments is not recommended by the manufacturer and may cause injuries.
• While the smoker is not in use, the electrical cord should be unplugged and stored in a safe, dry location.
• A short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk
resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power
supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a
longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Connection to an extension cord should
be kept dry and off the ground.
• Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products and are surface marked with the
suffix letter "W" and with a tag stating "Suitable for use with outdoor appliances".
• DO NOT use the smoker if the heating element fails to heat up. Under such conditions, the smoker
should be turned to the OFF position and the electrical cord should be disconnected. Refer to
"Troubleshooting" guide in this manual.
• DO NOT use the smoker if the power indicator light in the electrical controller fails to function. Refer
to "Troubleshooting" guide in this manual.
• Alternative fuels such as charcoal and wood pellets should NOT be used with this smoker or any of
its accessories.
• Fuel, such as charcoal briquettes, is not to be used with appliance.
• DO NOT place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
• DO NOT place smoker cover on the smoker if it is still hot from use.
• All installations are to conform to local, state and federal fire codes.
• KEEP fire extinguisher accessible at all times.
• Burning wood gives off carbon monoxide which can cause death.
• DO NOT burn wood chips inside homes, vehicles, tents, garages or any enclosed areas.
