CAUTION:
• Do not apply vegetable oil to charcoal grate or ash pan.
• All cleaning and maintenance should be done when smoker is cool (about 45 minutes) and with the
fuel supply removed.
• DO NOT clean any smoker part in a self cleaning oven. The extreme heat will damage the finish.
• Do not leave smoker unattended while preheating, cooking or burning off food residue on high. If
smoker has not been cleaned, a grease fire can occur that may damage the product.
• Do not remove the ashes until they are completely and fully extinguished.
• Always empty the ash pan and water bowl ONLY after the smoker has completely cooled.
• Do not allow water in water bowl to completely evaporate. Check water bowl at least every 2 hours
and add water if level is low. Add water per "Adding Additional Water" section in this manual.
• Do not remove water from water bowl once food is removed. Allow smoker to cool and water to
evaporate.

• Smoker must be cool.

metal container and saturated with water.
