DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction,
to obtain the necessary permits, permission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any
smoker being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your
area.
1. A minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the smoker, and 305mm (12 inches)
from the back of the smoker to combustible constructions must be maintained.
Do not install appliance on combustible
floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by
authorities having jurisdiction.
Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This appliance must
not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your smoker in an area clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the smoker off and leave the cabinet door closed until the fire is out. Do
not unplug the power cord. Do not throw water on. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class
ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire
Department.
2. Keep the unit and electrical supply cords away from water or other liquids. Do not use your smoker in the rain, during an
electrical or around any water source. To protect against electrical shock, use only a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Do not operate the appliance with a damaged cord or plug. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. If a long, detachable power supply-
cord (or extension) is used, ensure the cord rating is at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and must be a
grounded cord. Outdoor extension cords used with outdoor products are marked with the suffix "W" and with the statement
"suitable for use with outdoor appliances." To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off
the ground.
3. After a period of storage, clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If
the smoker is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to ensure that water
does not get onto the electric element. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.
Do not transport your smoker while in use or while the smoker is hot. Ensure the smoker is completely cool
to the touch before adjusting the cooking grids, adding wood chips, removing the water tray, moving, or
storing. Store unit indoors when not in use. Do not store the electric smoker with hot ashes inside unit.
Store only when all surfaces are cold.
