For North American Consumers:
Plug into an appropriate 3-prong outlet.
An electrical supply with GFCI protection is required.To protect
against shock hazard, locate a grounded 3-prong receptacle in
reach of the 6’ (1.8-m) power cord. When installing the receptacle,
follow the National Electrical Code and local codes and ordinances.
If you must use an extension cord:
• Use only outdoor type with 3 prong grounding plug, rated for 15
amperes or more, approved by UL, marked with a W and a tag
stating “Suitable for Use with Outdoor Appliance”.Use the short -
est length extension cord required.
• Do not connect 2 or more extension cords together.
• Keep connections dry and off ground.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table top or other items where
it can be pulled by children or tripped over.
D A N G E R
Hazardous voltage is present, which can shock, burn, or cause
death. Disconnect the power cord before servicing the appliance
unless otherwise noted in the Owner’s Manual.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container (do not use your
plastic storage bucket) with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container
of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, until final dispos -
al. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
WOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pel-
letized, all natural, wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned
in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing.
Do not
use fuel with additives.
Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline,
lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your
appliance.
Use only wood pellet fuel specified by the manufacturer. Do
not use pellet fuel labeled as having additives. Oklahoma Joe’s
recommends the Oklahoma Joe’s Premium Food grade brand
of pellet fuel. These pellets are rated at 8,000 BTU’s per lb.
(1.98 kJ/kg.) The ash content of these pellets are below 0.5%
NOTE: Always store wood pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact
with moisture. Exposure to moisture will result in lower heat output
or cause the pellets to swell and break apart. Always use a mois-
ture proof, resealable bucket for proper storage. Wet pellet fuel will
clog your grill.
CREOSOTE - Formation and need for removal
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other
organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creo-
sote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue
and exhaust hood of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote res -
idue accumulates on the flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignit -
ed, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The grease duct should be inspected at least monthly to deter-
mine when grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred.
When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed
to reduce risk of fire.
When Creosote, or soot, is burning, it produces black smoke and
leaves a residue which is also black in color. Soot or creosote is
formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: block -
age of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the fire
pot area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion. It is dangerous to operate
this appliance should the flame become dark and sooty. When
ignited, this creosote will result in an extremely hot and uncon -
trolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the
appliance OFF , let it cool completely, then perform maintenance
and cleaning. Creosote commonly accumulates along exhaust ar-
eas, and other areas where smoke can escape. If creosote has
formed inside the appliance; allow the appliance to warm up at a
low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away any for -
mation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean
when warm, as it becomes liquid.
C A U T I O N
CAUTION: Appliance may be HOT . Use hand protection if nec-
essary.
