GENERAL WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNINGS & IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug or control panel in water or other liquid.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after appliance malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner. Contact Masterbuilt Customer Service for assistance at 1-800-489-1581.
• Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.
• If an extension cord is used: 1. The marked electrical rating of the 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 counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled by children or tripped over unintentionally.
• The extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
• Outdoor extension cords must be used with outdoor use products and are marked with suffix "W" and
with the statement "Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances."
• CAUTION - To reduce the risk of electric shock, keep extension cord connection dry and off the ground.
• Do not let cord hang on or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not place cord on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
• Fuel, such as charcoal briquettes, wood chips or chunks, or heating fuel pellets, are not to be used in the
appliance.
• To disconnect, turn controller "OFF" then remove plug from outlet.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow appliance to cool completely before
adding/removing racks, grease deflector or water tray.
• Grease deflector is only for the bottom of the appliance. Do not put grease deflector on rack. This may
damage the appliance.
• Do not cover racks with metal foil. This will trap heat and cause severe damage to the appliance.
• Do not clean this product with a water sprayer or the like.
CREOSOTE - FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL.
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool air damper exhaust of a slow
burning fire. As a result, creosote accumulates on the air damper and smoker lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire.
The grease tray tube should be inspected at least twice a year for signs of grease buildup.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.
WARNING!
It is important to follow these steps if, at any time, the smoker fails to light, or the fire in the crucible goes
out while cooking or smoking, when sufficient pellets are still in the pellet hopper. Failure to do so may cause a hazardous
"over-firing" of your smoker due to an excess of unburned pellets in the crucible.
1) Press the ON/OFF button to turn OFF the smoker. Once the fan has stopped, unplug the power cord. If the
smoker is still hot, allow it to thoroughly cool. Open the door and remove all food, all racks, grease deflector and the
heat diffuser.
2) WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the crucible (see instructions for proper
handling and disposal of ash in CLEANING and STORING INSTRUCTIONS).
3) Before replacing the heat diffuser, grease deflector and all racks, plug the power cord into an appropriate,
grounded electrical outlet and restart the smoker. Pellets should fall into the crucible and the element should begin to
heat (it will start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch it.
4) If this procedure is successful, you will soon see flames come out of the crucible. Then press the ON/OFF button
to turn OFF the smoker and let the smoker cool down. Position the heat diffuser, the grease deflector and racks in
their proper locations. With the door open, press the ON/OFF button to turn ON the smoker and set the temperature/
timer. In approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the smoker as the pellets ignite.
After assuring the pellets have ignited, close the door.
