Care and Cleaning
Your Electric Smoker is made from high-quality 304 stainless steel and engineered for
durability. Simple care and cleaning will provide a lifetime of service.
NOTE:
Always wait until your appliance is completely cool before cleaning.
You should clean your appliance after each use to maintain the overall appearance over the life of your
appliance. After the first use, it is normal for your appliance to become discolored in certain areas from
the heat produced by the heating element.
Interior Cleaning
•
Using a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids.
•
Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of the smoker.
Clean
the inside of your smoker on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep the
smoke cabinet door closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the
food, turn the smoker off, and shut the cabinet door until the fire is completely out.
•
Check your drip tray often, and clean out as necessary when cooking.
•
Clean out the grease from the drip tray after each cook.
•
Cooking grids can be lightly coated with vegetable oil or cooking spray to prevent food from sticking. A
light coating of vegetable oil or cooking spray may also be applied to the inside of the smoker to
prevent rusting. If rust develops, use steel wool to remove and then coat with vegetable oil or cooking
spray.
Exterior Cleaning
When cleaning your appliance, always scrub and polish in the direction of the stainless steel grain. Wipe
down the exterior of the appliance to remove any splatter or grease. Do not use harsh abrasives. Use a
stainless steel cleaner to clean the exterior surface for a polished look. To remove baked-on foods, use a
fine to medium grit non-metallic abrasive pad with a stainless steel cleaner to avoid specks of grease
collecting in the grain causing the appearance of rust.
NEVER use steel wool on your cooking surfaces. It will leave small amounts of mild steel behind,
embedded into the grain of the stainless steel, and it will cause rust.
NEVER use chemicals to clean your grilling surface.
