OVEN / SMOKER

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Southbend SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES Smoker is designed to offer maximum flexibility for different products. Cooking time can be pre-set or determined by the internal temperature of the product through use of the Probe attachment in either Manual Control or Programmable Control units. Manual Control units are equipped with our COOK-N-HOLD feature, allowing you to cook your product at one temperature and hold it at another. This lets you finish products quickly, but still hold them at optimum temperatures to prevent loss of moisture and resulting shrinkage. Programmable Control units have this feature built in, and can be programmed for better control over your final product.

The SB-5-ES is equipped with an internal Grease Pan to catch any drippings from your products and to make cleaning easier. The Grease Pan can be lifted out for dumping and cleaning at the end of the day. The SB-10-ES is fitted with an external Pan that is equipped with small ball casters. This Grease Pan fits beneath the unit directly under the Drain fitting in the floor of the Smoker. Remove the drain plug to drain accumulated liquid from the bottom of the SB-10-ES into the Grease Pan for removal and disposal.

Smoke is generated in the Smoke Box located on the back internal wall of the Oven, or in the optional Smoke Box attached to the side of the unit. This Smoke Box consists of a stainless steel chip box inside of a stainless steel housing. To use the Smoke Box pieces of wood pre-soaked in water are loaded into the chip box, the chip box is inserted into the housing, and the Smoke switch is set to the ON position (or the Programmable Control is set to include a certain smoke level). Heating Elements contained in the housing will heat the wood, giving off smoke. This smoke is circulated throughout the Oven cavity by the Motor and Blower Wheel. The strength and duration of the smoking is controlled by the amount of wood placed in the chip box and by the length of time it is allowed to burn.

MANUAL CONTROL operation:

1)Set the POWER and FAN switches to their ON positions. Select the correct cooking temperature for your product on the COOK control and set the 24–HOUR TIMER to at least 1 hour, allowing the Smoker to preheat.

2)Prepare your product as outlined in your recipe. Load the prepared product into the SB-5-ES or SB-10-ES at your convenience. After loading your product set the 24–HOUR TIMER to the desired cooking time.

3)Set the HUMIDITY control if you wish to add moisture to your product during the processing cycle.
