BEFORE ASSEMBLING AND OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.

WARNING

• This smoker is to be used outdoors only. Do not operate this smoker indoors or in an enclosed area.

• Do not use this smoker in the rain or on wet surfaces. Do not immerse cord, plug or electric element in water or other liquids.

Keep this smoker and all electrical appliances away from swimming pools, hot tubs, etc. Hazard of electrical shock if used on a wet surface, in the rain or if appliance has been exposed to moisture.

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

• To prevent accidental electrical shock, this smoker should always be used on a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet or

circuit.

• Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120 volts which is GFCI protected at 15 or 20 amps. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician. Do not operate this smoker with any other appliance or electrical device on the same circuit.

• The smoker is turned “ON” by plugging cord into electric outlet. There is no ON/OFF control switch. Before plugging unit into electric outlet, smoker should be completely set up with flavoring wood in place, liquid in water pan, meat on grills and dome lid on smoker. Always turn the unit “OFF” by unplugging cord from outlet when adding water and wood or when finished cooking.

• Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. If you must use one, the following care should be exercised: a. Use the shortest length possible. Use a 12/3 or 14/3 grounded-type extension cord with a rating of at least 15 amps. b. The cord should be marked with suffix letter “W-A” and with a tag stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliances.” c. Keep cord connection dry and off the ground. Appliance and/or extension cord should be placed in such a manner so it will not

be tripped over, tugged on by children or pets. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.

• Do not operate this smoker if: a. The cord or plug is damaged. b. The electric element has been damaged in any manner. c. The smoker has malfunctioned. d. The smoker has been exposed to moisture or if grease and drippings were not cleaned from element after each use. Refer to

“Proper Care & Maintenance” section of this manual.

e. There is any damage to the smoker. (Return the smoker with prior return authorization number to The Brinkmann Corporation

for examination, repair or replacement.)

f. The GFCI circuit trips when the electric element is plugged into the electric outlet.

• Proper clearance of 5 feet between the smoker and combustible construction should be maintained at all times when this product is in use.

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

• Do not leave smoker unattended when in use.

• Do not place smoker on or near a gas or electric burner, or a heated oven.

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

• Use smoker only on a hard, level, noncombustible, stable surface (concrete, ground, etc.). Never use smoker on wooden or other

surfaces that could burn.

• A drip pan/ash guard will not prevent fires from occurring on a wooden or other combustible surface. 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.

• Smoker should be placed in an area where children and pets cannot come into contact with unit. Close supervision is necessary when this smoker is in use.

WARNING

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

• Base pan should never be touched or moved while smoker is in operation or if still hot.

• Do not wear loose clothing or allow hair to hang freely when operating smoker.

• Always wear shoes when operating smoker.

• When in operation, smoker contains hot liquid in water pan. Extreme caution should be used at all times. Do not move smoker

when water pan contains hot liquids. Tilting or other slight movement could cause hot liquid to spill from water pan causing serious bodily injury.

• When lifting the dome lid, keep hands, face and body safe from hot steam or possible flame flare-ups. Always lift the dome lid off the smoker by tilting the dome lid toward you to allow hot steam to escape away from your face. Should a flame flare-up occur, replace dome lid and unplug smoker to smother flame. Do not use water to extinguish flames.

• Use extreme caution when adding liquid to water pan being careful not to spill any liquid onto electric element. Always unplug smoker before adding water. Follow instructions in “Adding Water During Cooking” section of this manual.

• 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.

• Use a sufficient amount of flavoring wood to avoid having to remove smoker body from base pan during the cooking process. This will limit the danger of spilling hot liquid from the water pan which could cause serious bodily injury.

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

• Never add charcoal, lighter fluid, fuel or material of any kind, other than flavoring wood to the base pan where the electric element

and lava rocks are housed. Place wood chunks on lava rocks away from the electric element.

• Unplug the smoker from electric outlet when not in use. Allow smoker to cool completely before cleaning. Make sure embers are completely extinguished. Dispose of remaining embers and ashes in a noncombustible container. Do not allow ashes to build up in smoker.

• Do not use the smoker if the electric element has been exposed to moisture, grease and drippings, or if there is excessive ash buildup on the lava rock. Do not clean electric element with a water spray or the like. Failure to adhere to this safety warning could result in the electric element shorting out and in some cases, exploding. Clean the electric element and lava rocks as instructed in the “Proper Care & Maintenance” section of this manual.

• Store the smoker indoors in a dry location when not in use–out of the reach of children.

• Accessory attachments not manufactured by The Brinkmann Corporation for this smoker are not recommended and may lead to

personal injury or property damage.

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

• We advise that you have a fire extinguisher designed for use with electrical appliances on hand. Refer to your local authority to

determine proper size and type of fire extinguisher.

• Do not attempt to service smoker 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.
