SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Risk of suffocation! A smoker produces carbon monoxide. Always use the smoker outside in a well ventilated area. Failure to do so can result in death!

• Do not touch hot surfaces during use, use only handles and controls.
• Never immerse the appliance, the cable or other electronic components in water or other liquids.
• Do not leave the unit unattended in the presence of children. In particular, do not allow children to play with the unit.
• First attach the power cord to the appliance and then plug the plug into the wall outlet. To turn off the power, turn the power switch to the OFF position before unplugging the power cord.
• Only connect the unit to earthed sockets.
• Disconnect the plug from the socket if you will not be using the appliance for a long time or before cleaning it.
• Do not use the appliance during a thunderstorm.
• Do not expose the unit to rain or other liquids.
• Do not remove any parts from the appliance while it is still hot. Let it cool down before cleaning or moving it.
• Do not use the unit with a damaged cable. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized service center or a similarly qualified person. The same applies if the device or individual parts are damaged. In this case, it is imperative that you contact a specialist company.
• Only use accessories that are expressly recommended by the manufacturer.
• Only use the device outdoors and never indoors.
• We recommend that you do not use an extension cord to avoid tripping over it.
• Always place the unit on a stable, level surface. Do not place the unit on a raised surface such as a table or bench.
• Do not move the unit while it is still hot. Liquids could splash out of the containers and injure you.
  • Always use protective gloves when taking food out of or into the smoker. Be careful because all internal surfaces become very hot during operation.

Note: Children must not use the appliance! Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or those with a lack of experience and knowledge may only use the device if they are instructed on how to do so by a person responsible for their safety, or if they are supervised and understand the hazards associated with the use of the device.

• Do not cover the trays with aluminum foil or other foil that retains heat, otherwise the smoker may be damaged.
• Make sure the drip tray is at the bottom of the smoker. Do not slide the drip tray into one of the other slots as it may retain heat and damage the smoker.
• Always open the door very carefully to allow the steam to escape. Open the door slowly to allow the steam/smoke to escape slowly and away from you. Make sure that there is no body part in the steam/smoke when you open the door.

Important notes on assembly

Operation

1. Press On/Off button on smoker control panel.
2. The default temperature is 60 °C. To adjust to your desired internal meal temperature use the up/down button on the control panel.
3. The smoker will automatically turn off when the meat has reached the appropriate temperature. It will then turn back on if the temperature drops.

Adding wood pellets or chips

If you need to add more wood chips or pellets during the smoking process, carefully open the chip/pellet chute and place chips or pellets into chute and close.

Meat Smoking

Temperature control is very important when smoking meat correctly. Lower cook temperatures are needed to achieve the desired results without drying out the meat. Your Smoker features a temperature and automatic timer gauge to help put you in control. Pay careful attention to make sure the meat is cooking slowly but tho- roughly. Testing with a meat thermometer can help with the process. It is not required to use large amountc; of smoke to achieve the desired results. In fact, too much smoke would not give the flavor you are seeking. Check the smoker about every hour or so to see if things are progressing satisfactorily.

Perfect barbecue flavor and texture relies on cook temperature, cooking time and smoke levels.

General Smoking Instructions and Tips

• Make sure you start with a clean smoker every y time.
• It may be best to choose a commercially available wood chip for smoking the first time to get a feel for the size and consistency of the wood. Feel free to experiment with different wood types. There are many guide- books commercially available with tips and ideas. Oak, mesquite, nut trees and fruit woods all have benefits.
• It's important that the liquid level stays full in the water pan so your meat doesn't dry out. You can also use wine, juices or add herbs to the water for added flavor. It is also a good idea to baste larger pieces of meat that are under longer cooking times to keep them moist.
• Ideal cooking temperatures are between 94 and 110^ . Remember to test meat with a cooking thermome- ter to ensure it has been fully cooked.

Suggested inner Cook Temperatures

• Pork: 70-75 °C
• Chicken: 75-82 °C
  • Bef and Lamb: 63-75 °C

Only open the smoker occasionally to check the progress. Keeping temperatures consistent allows a desirable outcome. Over-abundance of smoke can lead to less desirable flavor. Make sure airflow remains constant. Often it is only necessary to have smoke for the first few hours of a cook session and just allow the heat to finish the process.

TIPS FOR SEASONING AND MARINATING

Here's where you have even more control! It is not necessary to use any of these techniques to achieve an excellent product, but you may want to try some for fun. We've discussed different wood chip varieties, but you can also add flavor these ways:

Marinades

Marinating meats is a long-time option to infusing flavor. A salty, flavorful brine can help moisturize and tenderize the meat prior to smoking. Recipes for marinades are abundant. You'll find suggested times for letting the meat soak, oftentimes overnight, or sometimes just an hour or so. Feel free to try a few.

Injection Marinades

This is a more recent approach to the world of marinades. Use injector tools per manufacturer instructions. You can prepare meat for the smoker in just a few minutes using injectors. Your flavors will penetrate deep into the meat. Spread uniformly to achieve the best results. Rub excess liquids that leak from the injection areas over the outside of the meat.

Meat Rubs

Meat rubs are a careful combination of spices, and sometimes salts and sweeteners, that are meant to be applied dry to the outside of meat prior to cooking. Many rubs are closely-guarded secrets by master chefs. The good news is that there are many readily available at stores and specialty shops. Sometimes it is helpful to apply a layer of vegetable oil to the meat to allow the rubs to adhere better. Follow product guidelines, but remember that the wood smoke is also doing much of the flavoring work, so don't overdo the rub.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Always remove the plug from the socket first and allow the smoker to cool completely before cleaning.
• Individual components are not dishwasher safe.
• Use warm soap and water to clean the individual parts.
• Smoke box should be cleaned of any remaining ash before every use.
• Wipe down interior and exterior of smoker with warm water only. Do not use soap.
• Confirm that all components and unit are completely dried before using or placing in storage.
