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.
Proper Care
& Maintenance
•
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. Touch-up
with a good high-temperature resistant paint.
•
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 800-468-5252.
