BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SMOKER.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS BEFORE PLUGGING SMOKER INTO ELECTRIC OUTLET.

1.Remove dome lid and smoker body from base pan.

2.Place flavoring wood on lava rock near the electric element. Refer to

“Flavoring Wood” section for recommended amount of flavoring wood to use.

NOTE: Do not place the flavoring wood directly on the electric element. This could cause flame flare-up and failure of the electric element.

3.Place empty water pan inside smoker body on the lower support brackets. Position water pan so rim is resting securely on notched out step of all three support brackets.

CAUTION: Before each use, check handles and support brackets to make sure they are securely fastened.

4.Place the smoker body on base pan, making sure the water pan is still in place.

5.Carefully, fill water pan with warm water or marinade to 1" below the rim. A full pan holds 4 quarts of water and will last for approximately 2-3 hours. Do not overfill or allow water to overflow from water pan.

WARNING: Do not spill water or liquid onto electric element.

6.Place a cooking grill on the lower support brackets directly above the water pan.

7.Place food on the cooking grill in a single layer with space between each piece. This will allow smoke and moist heat to circulate evenly around all pieces.

8.Place the other cooking grill on the upper support brackets. Make sure the rim is resting securely on notched out step of all three support brackets. Place food on the cooking grill.

9.With the dome lid on smoker, plug the smoker into electric outlet.

WARNING: Always use a 3-wire grounded outlet wired for 120-volts which is GFCI protected at 15 or 20 amps. If in doubt, contact a qualified electrician. Do not operate this smoker with any other appliance or electrical device on the same circuit.
