smoker has cooled sufficiently. It will contain hot liquid, hot ashes and hot grease that may cause
serious injury. If you must move these components,
ALWAYS
use protective oven mitts or heat-
resistant gloves.
• Dispose of cold ashes by wrapping them in heavy aluminum foil and putting them in a non-combustible
container. Be sure there are no other combustible materials in or near the container. If you must
dispose of ashes in less time than it takes for them to completely cool, remove the ashes from
the smoker, keeping them in heavy aluminum foil and soaking them completely with water before
disposing of them in a non-combustible container.

longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally. Connection to an extension cord should
be kept dry and off the ground.
• Outdoor extension cords should be used with outdoor use products and are surface marked with the
suffix letter “W” and with a tag stating “Suitable for use with outdoor appliances”.
