WARNING
• The exterior surfaces of the appliance may be very hot during and after operation. Always allow
appliance to cool completely before handling, cleaning, or moving the appliance.
• Empty and clean the drip pan after each use. Exercise extreme caution when removing the drip pan
and disposing of hot grease.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.

• To prevent burns or injury, always use proper protection, such as hot pads or oven mitts, when
removing or handling items from the smoking chamber.
• Wire racks and temperature probes may be extremely hot when preheated. Use extreme caution
when loading food onto racks and when inserting, removing, or adjusting temperature probes.
• Do not use wood chips with the smoker.
CAUTION
PELLET FUEL RESTRICTIONS
This appliance is designed for use with only food-safe hardwood pellets intended for pellet grills
or smokers.
• Never use heating fuel pellets, as these may contain hazardous contaminants or additives that
could be harmful to your health or the appliance.
• Do not use softwood pellets, such as pine, since the smoke generated by burning this type of wood
contains dangerous phenols that are not safe for consumption.
• Use of any other type of fuel in this appliance will void the warranty and may lead to damage to the
appliance and/or may create a safety hazard.
• Always store wood pellets in a dry location away from sources of heat. Do not allow water to enter
the pellet hopper. Pellets exposed to water or high humidity may cause the auger to jam and may
damage the auger motor.
CAUTION
APPLIANCE REPAIR OR MODIFICATION
Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, modify, or replace any part of the appliance. Do not install any
parts or components not authorized by the manufacturer for use with the appliance. Any modification
of the smoker or installation of unauthorized parts or components will void the warranty and may
create a safety hazard. Disconnect appliance from power supply and have serviced by a qualified
technician. See page 35 to schedule service.
DANGER
MOVING PARTS
