IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• 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 cover smoking racks with any type of metal foil as this may cause serious damage to
the smoker.
• 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 the like.
• Check the water level at least every 2 hours. A sizzling sound may indicate a low water level or
billowing smoker 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, not recommended by the manufacturer 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 cored) shoud 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 and (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 or LED display fails to function. Refer to
TROUBLESHOOTING guide in this manual.
