DANGERS AND WARNINGS

You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to
obtain the necessary permits, mission 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 wood pellet
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 lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the
power cord from the connected outlet. Do not throw water on the unit. 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 electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your smoker in the rain or around any water source.
3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air
blockage around the fan intake, chimney, or rear barrel exhaust holes. 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 insure that water does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high
humidity, wood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system. 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 fire is completely out and
that the smoker is completely cool to the touch before moving.
4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the smoker. Do not use accessories not
specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under
the barbecue.

with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by
Customer Service or an authorized dealer.
