AFTER-USE SAFETY
WARNING
•There is no ON/OFF control switch. Always turn the smoker “OFF” by unplugging cord from electric outlet when adding water and wood, or when finished cooking.
•Always allow the smoker and all components to cool completely before handling.
•Before smoker can be left unattended, remaining embers and ashes must be removed. Use caution to protect yourself and your property. Place remaining embers and ashes in a noncombustible metal container and completely saturate with water. Allow ashes and water to remain in metal container for 24 hours prior to disposing.
•Extinguished embers and ashes should be placed a safe distance from all structures and combustible materials.
•Cover and store the smoker indoors in a dry location, out of the reach of children.
•Wash water pan and cooking grills with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat water pan and cooking grills with vegetable oil or vegetable cooking spray.
•Clean inside and outside of smoker by wiping off with a damp cloth. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable cooking spray
to the interior surfaces of the dome lid and smoker body to prevent rusting.
•After the electric element has completely cooled, clean with a damp cloth after each use. Allow electric element to air dry outside of base pan so that all moisture evaporates completely before storing.
•Clean lava rocks and lava rock pan periodically with baking soda and water solution. Rinse well and allow to air dry thoroughly before storing.
•If rust appears on the exterior surface of your cooker, clean and buff the affected area with steel wool or fine grit emery cloth.
•Never apply paint to the interior surface. Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or vegetable cooking spray to minimize rusting.
•Always keep your smoker covered when not in use to protect against excessive rusting. The Smoke’N Grill cover may be ordered directly from Brinkmann by calling
