Controlling grease fires:
To aid in controlling grease fires use the following precautions:

increased by grease buildup.
• Trim excess fat off meat and use less fatty cuts of meat to
reduce chance of grease fires.
• If flare-up occurs during cooking reduce controller setting.
• If flare-up continues turn controller
OFF
and unplug
the power cord.

Safety Tips
•
The grease tray
must
be inserted into smoker and emptied
after each use.
•
If you have a smoker problem see the
"Troubleshooting
Section"
.
• Clean smoker often, preferably after each cookout. If a bristle
brush is used to clean any of the smoker cooking surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to
cooking. It is not recommended to clean cooking surfaces
while smoker is hot.
•
Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off
the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electric
shock. When removed from the unit, the roasting basket may
be cleaned with metal scouring pads.
Grease Tray
• Never use drippings directly from the grease tray to make
gravy. Use the included foil tray liner to catch drippings, then
reheat the drippings to kill bacteria. Replacement foil tray liners
and other accessories can be found at
www.charbroil.com
.
• Use extreme caution when removing tray or disposing of hot
grease.
General Smoker Cleaning
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and
smoke for paint. Interiors surfaces should not be painted.
Apply a strong solution of detergent and water or use a grill
cleaner with scrub brush on insides of smoker lid and bottom.
Rinse and allow to completely air dry.
Do not apply a caustic
grill/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
A black surface
improves the smokers performance.
•
Plastic parts:
Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry.
Do not use citrisol, abrasive cleaners, degreasers or a
concentrated grill cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and
failure of parts can result.
• Painted surfaces:

cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft non-
abrasive cloth.
• Stainless steel surfaces:
To maintain the high quality
appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water
and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use. Baked-on grease
deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning
pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage.
Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
CAUTION
Do not use sharp or pointed tools to clean smoker.
Do not use abrasive oven cleaners, steel wool or metal brushes
