Possible Solution(s)
• Avoid overloading the smoker with food or placing food items
too close together.
• Some foods may require flipping or rotating to ensure uniform
smoking or cooking.
• Check that the control lock is not enabled. See "Smoker
Settings Menu" section of this manual for details.
• Ensure the control panel is clean of grease, oil, or other soiling.
• Check that the smoker door is completely closed. If using the
temperature probe, ensure the cord is not caught in the door.
• Never unplug the smoker while in operation, as this will disable
the Active Smoke Filtering system..
• Check that the waste bin has been filled with fresh water and
that the waste carrier is fully inserted.
• Check that the pellet hopper door is completely closed.
• Check that the sound has not been disabled. Refer to the
"Smoker Settings Menu" section of this manual.
• The internal fan will turn on and off automatically depending on
the phase of smoking or cooking.
• The fan may continue to operate for up to 10 minutes after
smoking to ensure smoke has been cleared from the chamber.
NOTE: When the display shows "COOKING" or "KEEPING WARM",
the fan may turn off automatically.
• Check for obstructions behind the waste carrier.
• Check the orientation of the waste bin. The "MAX" and "MIN" fill
lines should be oriented towards the back of the smoker.
• Clean the glass light cover. See the "Care and Cleaning" section
of this manual for cleaning instructions.
• Bulb has failed. Replace bulb by following instructions found in
the "Care and Cleaning" section of this manual.
