???Wash cooking grate with warm soapy water, rinse and dry throughly.

Before each use of smoker:

???Use smoker only on a firm and level surface to prevent tipping over.

???To prevent household circuit breakers from tripping, keep electric controller dry and do not use other electrical products on the same circuit.

???Check grease tray to make sure it is empty and is mounted under the drain hole.

???For stick-free cooking, apply a thorough coating of vegetable

oil or vegetable oil based spray to the cooking grate.

Turn smoker on:

???Ensure electrical controller is turned fully counterclockwise to the off position.

???Plug power supply cord into a properly grounded, GFI protected outlet. If extension cord must be used refer to ???Extension Cord Use and Safety??? on this page.

With controller fully seated in smoker, turn knob clockwise. Indicator light should come on.

10.Store smoker in weather protected area

or under smoker cover when not in use and electric controller indoors when not in use.

11.Use only accessory attachments recommended by manufacturer.

12.It is the responsibility of the assembler/owner to assemble, install and maintain smoker.

Extension Cord Use and Safety

???For best smoker performance use of extension cord is not recommended.

If you must use an extension cord for your safety:

???Use only outdoor type with 3 prong grounding plug, rated for 15 amperes or more, approved by UL, marked with a W-A and a tag stating ???Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliance???.

???Use the shortest length extension cord required. Do not connect 2 or more extension cords together. A 12 or 14 gauge extension cord of 50 ft. or less is acceptable.

???Keep connections dry and off ground.

???Do not let cord hang over edge of table top or other items where it can be pulled by children or tripped over.

Ground Fault Interrupter

???Since 1971 the National Electric Code (NEC) has required Ground Fault Interrupter devices on all outdoor circuits.

???If your residence was built before 1971, check with a qualified electrician to determine if a Ground Fault Interrupter protector exists.

???Do not use this appliance if the circuit does not have GFI protection.

???Do not plug this appliance into an indoor circuit.

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.

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.
