SMOKE EVACUATOR
(Push Button)
(Optional Equipment)
PURPOSE
The purpose of the Smoke Evacuator System is to remove smoke from the front-loading
area of the unit once the doors are opened and prevent excess smoke from escaping
into the kitchen or food processing area. This enables the operator to work
unobstructed by interference from escaping smoke and heat. The smoke will be drawn
from the inside of the unit as opposed to an externally mounted hood system.
OPERATION
The procedure for operating the Smoke Evacuator System is quite simple. First,
activate the smoke evacuator by pressing in on the Black “ON” button and continue to
hold for 5 seconds. Second, while holding the Black “ON” button in for 5 seconds, grasp
door handle to cooking chamber. After the initial 5 seconds, slowly open the cooking
chamber door; operator may now release push button. The smoke evacuator will
remain on while the cooking chamber door is open. The smoke evacuator will
automatically turn off when the operator closes the door to the cooking chamber and
the unit will return to normal operating.
COMPONENTS
The Evacuator System is made up of four (4) basic components: (1) the switch, (2) the
Evacuator (power damper), (3) the 10” diameter duct and (4) the ventilator fan. Items
(1) and (2) are sold by Ole Hickory Pits as optional equipment. Items (3) and (4) are
purchased by you and are of your installation responsibility.
ADEQUATE MAKEUP
AIR IS REQUIRED FOR SAFE OPERATION. Consult manual for more information.
It is your responsibility to maintain essential combustion air at all times during
operation of the unit.
INSTALLATION
Attach the 10” diameter duct to the 10” diameter duct collar located on the top of the
Evacuator. Check with your local inspector to make sure the duct complies with local
codes. The duct will go through your roof and will attach to the ventilator fan above
the roof. The ventilator fan can then be wired into your units relay system, thus
allowing your switch to activate the Evacuator and the ventilator fan at the same time.
As always, use a qualified local contractor for your installation.
