CARE & MAINTENANCE
• Wash cooking racks and water bowl with hot
soapy water, rinse well and dry. Lightly coat
cooking racks with vegetable oil or vegetable
cooking spray.
• Clean inside and outside of Smoker by wiping
off with a damp cloth. After cleaning, apply a
light coat of vegetable oil or vegetable cooking
spray to the interior surface of the smoker body,
cooking racks and water bowl. This simple
process will help reduce interior rusting.
Note: NEVER oil the smoker pan lid. This could
cause fire.
Note: Smoke will accumulate and leave a
residue in the top of your unit that may drip onto
food during cooking. To minimize accumulation
of residue, wipe off after each use.
• Never apply paint to the interior surface.
• Rust spots on the interior surface can be buffed,
cleaned, then lightly coated with vegetable oil or
vegetable cooking spray to minimize rusting.
• Always keep your Smoker covered when
not in use to protect against excessive
rusting and dust.
WARNING
• Always allow Smoker and all components
to cool completely before handling.
• Cover and store Smoker in a protected
area, out of reach of children.
Flash-Back
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin
webs or make nests in the burner tubes during
warehousing and transit. These webs can lead to
a gas flow obstruction which could result in a fire
in and around the burner tubes.
This type of fire is known as ‘FLASH-BACK’ and
can cause serious damage to your appliance and
create an unsafe operating condition for the user.
Although an obstructed burner tube is not the only
cause of ‘FLASH-BACK’ it is the most common
cause and frequent inspection and cleaning of the
burner tubes is necessary.
If fire occurs in and around the burner,
immediately turn off gas at its source and turn the
burner control to ‘OFF’, wait until the appliance
has cooled, then clean the burner tubes and
burner ports.
Abnormal Operation
Any of the following are considered to be
abnormal operation and may require servicing:
• Yellow tipping of the burner flame
• Burners not igniting properly
• Burners failing to remain alight
• Burners extinguished by doors
• Gas valves, which are difficult to turn
Service
If the appliance cannot be adjusted to perform
correctly it should not be used until serviced or
repaired. Contact Sitro Group Australia for spare
parts and service information.
