Page: 31 / 35

• If the cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or
importer to avoid problems.
• Use only an earthed extension cable
intended for outdoor use. The extension
cable should be 5 m at max. Longer
extension cables involve power losses,
resulting in the reduced capacity of the
grill.
39. BEFORE USING THE SMOKER
39.1 Placement of the smoker
The following should be kept in mind when
placing the smoker:
• The smoker should be put in a place
where the smoke cannot cause damage.
• Do not use the smoker near open
windows.
• Do not use or store combustible
materials, gasses and liquids near the
smoker.
• Do not place the smoker on top of
combustible materials, such as patio
tables.
• Do not use the smoker under a canopy,
by a wall, in a garage, in a motor
caravan or a trailer, on a boat, in a
closed room or indoors. Check that there
are no flammable or combustible
materials in the vicinity. Around the
smoker should be at least two meters of
free space in all directions, but more is
recommended.
• The smoker should be placed on a flat
and sturdy, horizontal base.
• The smoker gets hot when being used. It
radiates heat also downwards. This must
be kept in mind when choosing a
location for placement.
• Do not place the smoker right onto the
lawn.
• The smoker should be placed on a
concrete slab.
39.2. Prior to first use
Prior to the first use with food, the smoker must
be pre-heated within 20 minutes to remove all the
protective grease used in manufacturing.
• The smoker should not be pre-heated
indoors. This should be done outdoors.
• Do not use the smoke chips during
preheating.
• Connect the power cord.
• Allow the unit to operate for 20 minutes
and then unplug the power cord.
• The smoker is hot after pre-heating.
Allow it to cool before being moved.
40. USING THE SMOKER
40.1 Preparations for using the smoker
1. Remove from the chip bowl the chips
or ash remaining there from the
previous time of use.
2. Fill the chip bowl halfway with dry
smoke chips.
3. Place the chip bowl onto its place.
4. Replace the grease tray on the tray.
40.2 Using the smoker
1. Place the food on trays and the grease
tray on the trays.
2. Do not fill the smoker with food too
tightly in order for the smoke to be
able to move evenly in the oven.
3. Leave room between the foods on the
trays and the walls of the smoker to
contribute to the circulation of the heat
in the oven.
4. Connect the power cord.
5. Allow the smoker to work until the
food is ready.
6. Cold weather greatly increases the
time required for smoking.
7. After use, turn the oven off at the
power switch, unplug the power cord
and let the oven cool down before
being moved.
8. After use, clean the smoker.
40.3 Smoking
The smoke chips used in the smoker are placed in
the smoke bowl that is placed on the base above
the heating element. The chip bowl should always
be on the designated base, it cannot be placed
directly onto the heating element. The chip bowl
must be at least half filled with chips. Use only
30
dry smoking dust or chips. Smoking dust or chips
should not be wet.
40.4 Different smoking chips.
Well-equipped shops offer a broad range of
smoking dust/chips. Chips made of different
species of wood give different flavors/aromas to
the food. The most suitable flavors and aromas
must be found by trial and error.
The smoking dust/chips available in stores:
• Alder
• Apple
• Oak
• Beech
• Cherry
• Maple
• Pecan
• Mesquite
• Hickory
40.5 Smoking time
The time required for smoking of food products is
difficult to predict. The completion depends on
the weather, outside temperature, manufactured
products and the desired level of cooked products.
41. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF
THE SMOKER
In order for the smoker to be used as long as
possible, it should be cleaned regularly. During
the maintenance and cleaning of the device, or
when it is not in use, the power cord must be
disconnected.
Never clean the smoker when it is turned on.
41.1 Griddles
The griddles should be cleaned after each use.
Clean the griddles when they are still warm. For
cleaning the griddles use a barbecue cleaning
brush with stiff bristles. A steel brush may
damage the surface of the grates.
The griddles can also be washed with a dish
washing liquid. Do not wash the grates in the
dishwasher.
41.2 Grease tray
The grease tray should be cleaned after each use.
Clean the grease tray, while it is still warm. For
cleaning use a barbecue cleaning brush with stiff
bristles. A steel brush may damage the surface of
the grease tray.
The grease tray can also be washed with a dish
washing liquid. Do not wash the grease tray in the
dishwasher.
Steel brush-induced damage is not covered under
warranty.
41.3 Other steel parts of the smoker
For cleaning of other steel parts use a damp cloth
and a soap water solution. Dry the surfaces
thoroughly after cleaning.
41.4 Maintenance
Check regularly the feet and handles of the
smoker. If necessary, tighten the screws.
Note! Never use a cordless screwdriver to tighten
the screws. This can damage the screws and the
surfaces of the parts. Tighten all screws only by
hand. The damage caused by the use of the
cordless screwdriver and overstraining of the
screws is not covered by the warranty.
42. STORAGE
Keep the smoker always cleaned in a dry place.
Never leave the smoker in the rain. Do not cover
the smoker when it is still hot after use. Allow the
smoker to cool before taking it to its place of
storage. The smoker can smell strongly of smoke,
so keep it in a place where the smell of smoke
does not bother anyone.
