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 grill, and 305mm (12 inches)
from the back of the grill 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, in an enclosed or unventilated area, inside homes,
vehicles, tents, garages. This wood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang.
Keep your grill 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 this 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 feed system for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air
blockage around the fan intake. 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 under the barbecue.
5. To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped
with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by
Customer Care or an authorized dealer.
