Safety Tips

Ÿ If you have an appliance problem see the "Troubleshooting

Section".

Ÿ Clean smoker often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle

brush is used to clean any of the smoker cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to cooking. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while smoker is hot.

Ÿ DO NOT open the smoker door during operation, unless

necessary. Opening the door will allow heat to escape, and slow the cooking time.

Ÿ DO NOT USE CHARCOAL. A charcoal fire will result and

the smoker is not designed for charcoal. The fire will create an unsafe condition and damage the smoker. Wood chips must be used to create a smoked flavor.

DANGER

WARNING

In case of fire, unplug smoker from outlet and allow fire to burn out. Do not use water to put out a fire in this or another electrical appliance.

To avoid electrical shock disconnect electric cord before cleaning smoker. Never immerse electric controller or heating element in any liquid.

Cleaning your smoker:

Excess build up of burned grease and food particles will reduce the smoker’s cooking performance. To obtain optimum

performance:

• Clean the interior and exterior at least once a season, more often with heavy use.

• Best results are obtained by brushing particle buildup downward toward the bottom of smoker.

• Using a mild detergent or hot soapy water, moderately scrub interior surfaces of the smoker with a plastic or bristle brush.

Clean cooking grates, water pan, meat probe, and drip pan

•

regularly with warm soapy water or a baking soda and water solution. Use non-abrasive scouring powder for stubborn stains. If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the smoker cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to cooking. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces while smoker is hot.

Clean the smoker with a non-abrasive cleaner.

•

Clean cooking grates, water pan, meat probe, and drip pan

•

are two thermostats located on the rear inside wall of the smoker. If your smoker is equipped with a window, do not use abrasive

•

cleaners on the window. Use a cleaner approved for use on ceramic glass cooktops. Window is tempered and will not break under normal use. For smoker box, clean frequently to remove ash build up,

•

residue and dust. Dispose of cold ashes by placing them in a metal foil wrapper,

•

soaking them in water overnight and discarding in a noncombustible container. The door seal MUST be cleaned with a damp cloth after each

•

use in order to keep the seal in proper working condition.

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water

before and after handling raw meat and poultry.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to-eat

foods to avoid cross contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a

thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For more information call: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at

1-888-MPHOTLINE (888-674-6854) In Washington, DC Or E-mail: mphotline.fsis@usda.gov Or visit the USDA website at www.fsis.usda.gov

How To Tell If Meat Is Cooked Thoroughly

• Meat and poultry cooked in the appliance often browns very

fast on the outside. Use only thawed meat and a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of doneness.

• We recommend food to be at least 40°F before cooking in your

appliance.

• Whole poultry should reach 165° F. Juices should run clear

and flesh should not be pink.

• Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and pork chops can be

cooked to 160° F.

• NEVER partially cook meat or poultry and finish cooking later.

Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure proper internal food

temperatures.
