• DO NOT wear loose clothing while operating the
smoker. Tie back long hair while operating the
smoker. ALWAYS wear fully-covering shoes while
operating the smoker.
• Allow the smoker and its components to cool
completely before conducting any routine
cleaning or maintenance.
• NEVER use glassware, plastic, or ceramic
cookware on or in your smoker.
• NEVER operate the smoker without water in the
water/wood chip tray. NEVER allow the water to
completely evaporate. Check the water level at
least every 2 hours. A sizzling sound may
indicate a low water level. Follow instructions in
this manual for adding water while operating.
• When using flavoring wood, add a sufficient
amount prior to operation to avoid having to
add wood while operating. Adding wood while
operating may splash hot water and cause
serious injury.
• Use of accessories not intended for this smoker
is not recommended and may lead to injury or
property damage.
• Use under high wind conditions that result in
poor burner operation such as blowing out and
flaring should be avoided. If repositioning the
unit does not improve operation under such
wind conditions, the unit should be shut off.
Familiarise yourself with the general information and safety
guidelines located at the front of this manual.
Check:
1. The cylinder is filled. A sloshing sound will be heard when
shaken.
2. The burner controls are in the ‘OFF’ position.
Connecting
1. Ensure cylinder valve is in its full ‘CLOSE’ position.
2. Check for any damage to either the cylinder connection or
the hose. NEVER attempt to use damaged equipment.
3. When connecting the hose to the cylinder tighten the nut
to a positive stop by hand.
4. Open cylinder valve one full turn. If a leak can be heard
at either end of the hose turn cylinder off and tighten
joint. Wait 5 minutes before re-testing and use a soapy
water solution to check the joint. If bubbles appear the
connection will need to be re-tightened.
Refer to P13 for more detailed instructions on connecting
the appliance to the cylinder.
Disconnecting
1. Ensure the burner control is in the ‘OFF’ position.
2. Ensure cylinder valve is in the full ‘CLOSE’ position.
For storage and cylinder exchange, disconnect hose at the
cylinder only, DO NOT disconnect hose from appliance.
Regulator Safety Feature (NZ Only)
All QCC regulators (the part that attaches to the gas cylinder
to regulate the flow of gas) have a safety feature included
that restricts gas flow in the event of a gas leak. You can
inadvertently activate this safety feature without having a
gas leak. This typically occurs when you turn on the gas
using the smoker control knob before you turn on the gas
cylinder valve. If the gas regulator safety feature activates,
the smoker will operate with reduced output as gas flow is
restricted.
These steps should be taken first to reset the gas regulator
safety device:
1. Ensure the smoker door is open.
2. Turn gas cylinder valve to ‘CLOSE’.
3. Turn off all control knobs.
4. Disconnect the regulator from the gas cylinder.
5. Wait 30 seconds.
6. Reconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder.
7. Leak test the connection using a soapy water solution.
Ensure no bubbles appear before proceeding.
8. Slowly open the gas cylinder valve one turn. Do not put
excessive force on the valve at the full open position, to
avoid damaging the valve.
9. Light smoker as per the instructions provided.
IMPORTANT: The appliance control knob must be in
the ‘OFF’ position before opening the cylinder valve.
