READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS USER GUIDE COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING 
THIS PRODUCT. 

FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD! FLAMES, SPARKS AND LIT EMBERS CAN EXIT ANY 
OPENING ON THE PIT CAUSING FIRE! Keep the pit located a safe distance away from flammable 
objects including buildings, walls, solvents, cars, fuel, wood piles, and furniture, and use caution when 
opening the pit. An ember that has fallen or is ejected from the pit can be blown into a garage or other 
structure, debris field, woods, or grass field and can cause fire. Have a fire extinguisher and water 
supply available near the pit.   

FIRE HAZARD: If the pit is used on a combustible surface such as a wooden deck, place the pit on a 
non-flammable pad intended for this purpose. 

EXPLOSION HAZARD: PIT FIRES CAN OCCUR WHEN LIQUIDS ARE SPILLED OR WHEN 
SURFACES INSIDE THE PIT REACH THE IGNITION TEMPERATURES OF FATS! Never pour or 
throw water directly onto a fat fire. Reduce the temperature by cooling the fire in the firebox with a 
water spray. Close the cooking chamber door while the firebox is steaming to smother the fire. Repeat 
this procedure as necessary until the pit is under control. 

FIRE HAZARD: Pit fires can be largely avoided if the pit is kept clean and free from fat buildup during 
or between cooks. Change drip trays during a cook to keep flammable fats to a minimum. Cook at 
temperatures low enough to avoid ignition. 

EXPLOSION HAZARD: SMOKER CAN COMBUST WHEN OXYGEN IS INTRODUCED AND 
PRODUCE SEVERE BURNS! Use caution when opening the lid or door of the pit.  

WARNING: THERE ARE HOT SURFACES ON ALL PARTS OF THE PIT BEFORE, DURING 
AND AFTER COOKING! Wear protective clothing when tending the pit, dumping a firebox into a 
proper receptacle, attempting to extinguish a fire, or mounting any part of your Guru control system. Be 
ready to call your local fire company in the case of an emergency.  

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD, HIGH VOLTAGE! The power supply for this product is plugged 
into a 120 or 240 VAC Mains. This voltage can cause injury or death. Keep the power supply away from 
water and off the ground. Never touch the power supply if it gets wet. Do not use the power supply if 
visibly damaged.   

FIRE HAZARD, BURN HAZARD: Even quality electronics can fail CAUSING THE FAN TO RUN 
CONSTANTLY, RESULTING IN EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURES! Power draft fans can get the pit 
temperature higher than natural draft. Use caution in opening the pit and determining fan placement. 
Inspect the probe and fan wires for damage which can cause the fan to run constantly. 

FIRE HAZARD: Even quality electronics can fail and cause the temperature to read incorrectly. Use a 
redundant dial thermometer as a backup temperature sensor to verify the control’s reading of the pit 
temperature.  

CAUTION: There are no user serviceable parts inside the control unit. Opening or making unauthorized 
modifications may cause equipment failure, creating a hazardous condition.
