Safety Warnings and Precautions
WARNING: When using this appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this appliance!
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power appliances in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power appliances may create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power appliance. Distractions
can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from debris such as chips and sparks.
Provide barriers or shields as needed.
4. Grounded appliances must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in
doubt whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the appliance should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity awa y from the user.
5. Double insulated appliances are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three
wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
6. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigera-
tors. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
7. Do not expose power appliances to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power appliance will
increase the risk of electric shock.
8. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the appliance or pull the
Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged Po wer Cords immediatel y. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.

9. When operating a power appliance outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power
appliance. Do not use a power appliance while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power appliances may result in serious
personal injury.
11. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. K eep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew elry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
12. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Power Switch is off bef ore plug ging in. Plugging in power
appliances with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
13. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power appliance on. Be sure all grill
racks and any food intended to be smoked is in place before turning the Smokehouse on.
14. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the power appliance in unexpected situations.
15. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved eye protection. Use heat resistant gloves
when handling food processed in this Smokehouse.
Appliance Use and Care
16. Do not force the appliance. Use the correct appliance for your application. The correct appli-
ance will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. This Smokehouse is designed
to process a maximum of 20 Lbs. of raw meat at a temperature up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
17. Do not use the power appliance if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off. Any appliance
that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must be replaced.
18. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the appliance. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the appliance accidentally .
19. Store idle appliances out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Appliances are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain appliances with care, keeping them clean and in good or der. Properly maintained
appliances are less likely to malfunction or cause damage or injury. Do not use a damaged appliance. Tag damaged appliances “Do not use” until repaired.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the appliance’s operation. If dama ged, have the appliance serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained appliances.
22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories
that may be suitable for one appliance may become hazardous when used on another appliance.
