OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Guidelines
• Refer to the "Troubleshooting Section", on Pages 24 and 25, 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 23.
Control Dial Operating Instructions
• The probe of the temperature control dial must be properly inserted into the external housing of
the heating element and the dial should be set to the O (OFF) position before plugging the cord
into an electrical (GFI) outlet. Refer to assembly instructions on Page 14 for inserting the
thermostat control.
O - Off
1 - Low Temperature Setting

NOTE: Always leave the water bowl in place while operating the smoker. If additional water is
needed during the cooking process, carefully pour water into the drip pan opening. DO NOT remove
the water bowl to add water. Avoid splashing water onto the heating element. Serious damage to the
heating element could result, along with flare-ups and electrical failure.
