MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING GUIDE
TOASTMASTER® equipment is designed to last for years of useful service. Careful
consideration is given in selecting components for durability, performance and ease of
maintenance. For example, the Smoker Motor has sealed bearings and never needs to be
lubricated.
While TOASTMASTER® equipment is designed for minimum care and maintenance
certain steps are required by the user for maximum life and effectiveness:
•Proper installation of the equipment.
•Correct application and usage of the equipment.
•Dry-out Procedures performed daily.
•Thorough cleaning on a regular basis.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION:
A. Install the TOASTMASTER® Smoker with adequate clearance around the unit. This
is important for cleaning and maintenance, as well as providing cooling air for the
Motor and Controls.
B. The installation must be on a level floor to prevent the Door or Doors from swinging
when left in an open position.
C. The Smoker must be connected to the proper power supply as indicated on the
equipment label.
D. The Smoker must be connected to an approved potable water supply in accordance
with all applicable plumbing codes for your area.
APPLICATION AND USAGE:
The TOASTMASTER® Smokers are designed for the low to medium temperatures
normally found in smoking and/or slow-cooking operations.
THEY ARE NOT
DESIGNED TO OPERATE AT HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR LONG PERIODS OF
TIME!!!
Continuous operation at maximum temperatures and/or humidity settings may
result in premature component failure.
SMOKER DRY–OUT PROCEDURE:
A. Remove the GREASE PAN. Empty and clean the PAN and set it aside.
B. WIPE UP ANY STANDING LIQUIDS IN THE SMOKER BOTTOM.
C. For Manual Control units:
Set the POWER switch to the
ON
position. Set the COOK control to 150
°
F and the
HOLD control to
OFF
. Set the 24–HOUR TIMER to 2 hours so that the COOK
control operates.
D. Set the POWER switch to the
OFF
position. Leave the DOOR slightly open (about
1" to 2") while the Smoker is not in use.
THESE DRY–OUT PROCEDURES MUST BE CARRIED OUT DAILY TO
HELP MAINTAIN YOUR EQUIPMENT IN THE BEST POSSIBLE
CONDITION. THE REMOVAL OF ALL RESIDUAL MOISTURE IN THE
EQUIPMENT RETARDS ANY CORROSION OR DETERIORATION OF
THE INSULATION AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AND EXTENDS
THE USEFUL LIFETIME OF YOUR TOASTMASTER® EQUIPMENT.
