IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS

WE WANT YOU TO ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR COOKER AS SAFELY AS POSSIBLE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL

IS TO ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION TO POSSIBLE HAZARDS AS YOU ASSEMBLE AND USE YOUR SMOKER.

WHEN YOU SEE THE SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE INFORMATION WHICH FOLLOWS!

THE WARNINGS BELOW APPLY TO ALL USES OF THE ALL-IN-ONE. ADDITIONAL WARNINGS SPECIFIC TO EACH

USE OF THE ALL-IN-ONE MUST BE FOLLOWED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THESE WARNINGS.

1

WARNING

• Only use this cooker on a hard, level, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.) capable of supporting the weight of the
cooker. Never use on wooden or other surfaces that could burn.

• Always use a drip pan/ash guard under cooker when using as a charcoal grill or charcoal smoker to protect surface from heat damage
and/or discoloration and to catch ashes, embers and drippings. Place a thin layer of water in drip pan/ash guard to help extinguish
falling ashes and embers. A drip pan/ash guard is designed for use with a smoker for easy clean up of drippings that can cause
discoloration of surface and to catch falling ashes and embers.

• Do not store or use smoker near gasoline or other flammable liquids, gases or where flammable vapors may be present.

• Proper clearance of 10 feet between the cooker and combustible material (bushes, trees, wooden decks, fences, buildings, etc.) or
construction should be maintained at all times when smoker is in use. Do not place cooker under a roof overhang or other enclosed
area.

• Do not leave cooker unattended when in use.

• Never move cooker when it is in use or when it contains hot coals or ashes. Do not move cooker when water pan contains hot liquids.

• For household use only. Do not use this cooker for other than its intended purpose.

• For outdoor use only. Do not operate cooker indoors or in an enclosed area.

• Use caution when assembling and operating your cooker to avoid scrapes or cuts from sharp edges of metal parts.

• Place cooker in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when cooker
is in use.

• Water pan should always be used when smoking. Do not allow liquid in water pan to completely evaporate. Check water pan every
2 hours and add water if level is low (a sizzling sound may indicate a need for water). Follow instructions in “Adding Water During
Cooking” section of this manual.

• Always keep water in water pan even after food is removed from smoker. Water will evaporate and grease in water pan can
catch on fire.

• Use caution when lifting or moving cooker to prevent strains and back injuries.

• In windy weather, cooker should be located in an outdoor area that is protected from the wind.

• Do not wear loose clothing or allow hair to hang freely while using cooker.

• Use caution when reaching into or under cooker. Always wear oven mitts/or gloves to protect your hands from burns. Avoid touching
hot surfaces.

• Always wear shoes when operating cooker.

• We advise that a fire extinguisher acceptable for use with gas products be on hand. Refer to your local authority to determine proper
size and type of fire extinguisher.

• Do not attempt to service cooker other than normal maintenance as explained in “After-Use Safety” and “Proper Care & Maintenance”
sections of this manual. Repairs should be performed by The Brinkmann Corporation only.
