This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

PRE-SEASONING
PRE-SEASON SMOKER PRIOR TO FIRST USE. Some smoke may appear during this time. This is normal.
1. Make sure water pan is in place WITHOUT WATER.
2. Set temperature to 275°F (135°C) and run smoker for 3 hours.
3. During the last 45 minutes add 1 wood chunk in smoke box and set to S5 or add ½ cup of wood chips in
smoke box and set to S1. If equipped, turn on the grill and finish element and set on high setting.
4. Shut down and allow to cool.
LOADING FOOD INTO SMOKER
• Pre-heat smoker for 30 to 45 minutes at desired cooking temperature before loading food.
• DO NOT cover racks with aluminum foil as this will not allow heat to circulate properly.
• Do not overload smoker with food. Extra large amounts of food may trap heat, extend cooking time and cause
uneven cooking. Leave space between food on racks and smoker sides to ensure proper heat circulation. If
utilizing cooking pans, place pans on center of rack to ensure even cooking.
• Do not open smoker door unless necessary. Opening smoker door causes
heat to escape, may extend cooking time, and may cause wood chips
to flare up. Closing the door will re-stabilize the temperature and stop flare up.
• There will be a lot of smoke produced when using wood chunks or chips.
Smoke will escape through seams and turn the inside of smoker black.
This is normal. To minimize smoke loss around door, adjust the door latch
to further tighten the door seal against the body.
• To adjust door latch, loosen hex nut on door latch then turn hook
clockwise to tighten. Secure hex nut firmly against door latch.
• Empty grease tray before it becomes full. Grease tray may need to be
emptied periodically during cooking.
