• 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 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 similar cleaner.
• Check the water level at least every two hours.
A sizzling sound may indicate a low water level
or billowing smoke 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 is not
recommended by the manufacturer and 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 cord) should 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.
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.
Important Safety Information
• 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
in the electrical controller fails to function. Refer to
"Troubleshooting" guide in this manual.
• Alternative fuels such as charcoal and wood pellets
should NOT be used with this smoker or any of its
accessories.

• DO NOT place smoker cover on the smoker if it is
still hot from use.
• All installations are to conform to local, state and

tents, garages or any enclosed areas.
