Smoking & Cooking Your Food
STEP #3 Smoking Your Food
When the preheating phase has completed, the appliance will emit an audible alert.
If Probe Target is active and the temperature probe is not inserted, "ADD PROBE" will be blinking on
the display. Insert the probe and press the [Start] button to begin the Smoking phase.
If Cook Time is active or the Probe Target is active with probe inserted, "READY" will be shown on the
display. Press the [Start] button to begin the Smoking phase.
NOTE: The appliance will automatically start the Smoking phase 15 minutes after the Preheating
phase has completed.
If Cook Time is active, the cook timer will begin to count down.
If Probe Target is active, the actual probe temperature will be shown next to the target probe
temperature.
NOTE: The smoker will automatically switch to the COOKING phase after four hours of SMOKING
due to the pellet capacity of the hopper. Most foods will develop delicious smoke flavor within this
time, without needing extra smoking time. However, the smoking time can be manually extended. To
extend the smoking time, see the "Resuming Smoke" section in this manual.
Adjusting the Settings while Smoking or Cooking
At any time during operation, the PROBE TARGET, COOK TIME, SMOKER TEMP, and SMOKE LEVEL
may be adjusted.
Rotate the dial to navigate to the desired setting and push the dial to select. Rotate the dial to make
an adjustment and then push the dial to confirm the change.
Opening the Door While Smoking or Cooking
Whenever the smoker door is opened while smoking or cooking, the cook timer will pause, and the
smoke chamber will stop heating. The cook timer and heater will automatically resume after the door
is closed.
If the smoker door is left open for more than 15 minutes, the smoker will automatically turn off and
return to standby mode.
NOTE: If the door is opened during SMOKING, the Active Smoke Filtering system will continue to
operate. In addition, the auger may operate several times while the door is opened. These are normal
functions of the appliance.
Clearing Smoke During Smoking
During the SMOKING phase, to clear the smoke
from the chamber, press the [Clear Smoke] button.
The display will show "SMOKE CLEARING" to
indicate that the smoker is evacuating smoke from
the chamber. The smoke clearing process will
take 10 minutes to complete. After completion,
the display will show "CLEARED" for 2 minutes. At
this point, the smoker will continue to cook at the
designated temperature until Probe Target or Cook
Time is reached, or the smoke is resumed.
While the door of the smoker can be opened at
any time, it is recommended to clear the smoke
beforehand to prevent an undesired release of
smoke into your home when opening the door.
