OPERATING THE PELLET SMOKER

BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME Carry out the following steps before using your pellet smoker for the first time. Repeat the steps each time you're out of pellets.

1. Open the lid of the grilling chamber and remove the grids, grease removal sheet, and heat conduc-

tion sheet from your smoker.

2. Open the lid of the pellet chamber and make sure that it's free of foreign objects.

3. Set the switch to OFF (O) and plug the mains cable into the suitable 230-volt socket.

4. Flip the switch to ON (I) and set the temperature controller to SMOKE.

5. Observe the spiral conveyor for 1 or 2 minutes to make sure it’s turning.

WARNING: Never reach into the pellet chamber and never touch the spiral conveyor. Keep fin-

gers, hair, and clothes away from moving parts at all times. Risk of injury!

6. Hold your hand at least 10 cm above the combustion chamber to check whether the ventiator is

working and air is circuating.

WARNING: Do not grab into or touch the combustion chamber. Risk of burning!

7. Wait for approx. 1 minute to see whether the ignition rod underneath the spiral conveyor starts to

glow and whether you notice heat developing over the combustion chamber.

WARNING: Never touch the ignition rod. Risk of burning!

8. You should first see a temperature indication on the dispay. If you see anything else, this is an error

code. NOTE: You can find detailed information on the error codes under TROUBLESHOOTING.

9. Set the controller to COOL DOWN. (The ventiator continues to operate for 10 minutes in this

10. Fill suitable pellets into the pellet chamber using the funnel.

11. Turn the temperature controller to MAX. The spiral conveyor starts to turn and transport the pellets

into the combustion chamber. The process takes a few minutes.

WARNING: Never fill pellets into the combustion chamber by hand. Risk of burning!

12. As soon as you hear the first pellets entering the combustion chamber, set the controller to COOL

13. Set the controller to SMOKE. Wait for the pellets to ignite and for white-grey smoke to form. Set the

controller to COOL DOWN and let the smoker cool. BURNING

The smoker must be burned-in before preparing food for the first time. This process is necessary to re- move any production residues.

1. Pace the grids, grease removal sheet, and heat conduction sheet back into the appliance. Open the

lid and turn the controller to SMOKE.

2. As soon as white-grey smoke starts to billow from the smoker, close the lid and set the temperature

3. Let the smoker operate on this setting for 45 minutes. Afterwards, it is ready for use.47

1. Open the lid of the grilling chamber. Flip the switch to ON (I)

and set the temperature controller to SMOKE.

2. As soon as the pellets start to kindle and white-grey smoke

starts to billow from the smoker after 3 to 5 minutes, close the lid and set the temperature controller to the desired temperature. TIP: Allow the smoker to heat up for at least 10 minutes and only pace food into the smoker after the set temperature has been reached. Adding food to the smoker earlier slows down the heat- ing process.

3. Warning: Do not immediately switch off the smoker after the

food is ready, but rather set the controller to COOL DOWN. The ventiator continues to operate for 10 minutes in this mode, burning up the remaining pellets in the combustion chamber.

4. Only disconnect the mains plug after the COOL DOWN pro-

gramme has finished.

WARNING: Always have the lid open when starting the

smoker! Do not set the temperature controller to COOL DOWN during use.

USING THE TEMPERATURE SENSORS

Use the temperature sensors to always keep track of the core temperature of your grilled food.

1. Plug one or both temperature sensors into the socket(s) on the operating element.

2. Lead the temperature sensor(s) into the grilling chamber using the provided opening.

3. Stick the temperature sensor into the thickest part of the grilled food, roughly up to the centre.

4. Briefly press the switch on the operating element to dispay the temperature of the sensor (SENSOR

1 or 2). The measured temperature is now shown. The dispay automatically switches back to the tem- perature in the cooking chamber afterwards.

WARNING: If the smoker doesn't ignite or if the fire dies down during operation (even with a suf-

ficient number of pellets in the pellet chamber), excess pellets must be removed before opera- tion. An excess of unburned pellets might result in your smoker overheating.

1. Switch off the appliance and remove the mains plug. Wait until the smoker has cooled down com-

pletely. Remove the grids, the grease removal sheet, and the heat conduction sheet.

2. Remove all unburned pellets and ash from the inside of the appliance and around the combustion

chamber (s. REMOVING ASH).

3. Reconnect the mains plug and switch on the smoker. The pellets should start falling into the com-

bustion chamber and the ignition rod should start glowing.

WARNING: Never touch the ignition rod. Risk of burning!48

4. As soon as fames start coming from the combustion chamber, set the controller to COOL DOWN

and let the smoker cool.

5. Pace the grids, grease removal sheet, and heat conduction sheet back into the appliance and open

the lid. Turn the controller to SMOKE. Wait for a few minutes until white-grey smoke starts to billow from the smoker. Close the lid and turn the controller to the desired temperature. If problems persist after restarting the smoker, consult the TROUBLESHOOTING section or contact the BURNHARD customer service.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE: Make sure that the appliance has cooled down completely, is switched off, and that the mains plug is disconnected before cleaning your smoker.

• Clean the smoker after each use.

• Only have the appliance repaired by qualified specialists if there are problems. Never open the hous- ing yourself.

WARNING: Do not use any varnish removers or thinners for cleaning.

CLEANING THE GREASE DRAIN

Grease which drips from the food collects in the grease collection tray, the V-shaped grease drain, and the grease draining tube. This might result in grease deposits. To minimise the fire hazard, you should clean these components after each use. TIP: To make cleaning easier, you can pace hard-wearing tinfoil on the grease removal sheet before use. Repace the foil after each use to minimise the risk of grease fires.

• Grease which has collected on the inside of the grease tube can be scraped off using a rugged, non-metallic tool (e.g. wood, silicon, or pastic spatua). This way, most of the grease can be pushed down through the grease tube into the grease collection bucket. Remove the remaining grease resi- dues with a detergent and boiling water or a suitable grill cleaning agent.

• Reguarly empty the grease collection bucket (depending on how frequently you use your smoker).

WARNING: Failure to clean the grease collection tray, the V-shaped grease drain, and the grease

draining tube might result in grease fires. In this case, set the switch to OFF (O) and keep the lid open until the fire extinguishes completely. WATCH OUT, RISK OF BURNING! Once the grill has cooled down completely, remove all residues from the grease tube and the grease drain sheet. If necessary, also pace new foil on the sheet.49

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

Burning pellets produce tar and other fumes which form creosote with humidity. This creosote can collect in the chimney. To minimise the fire hazard, you should clean the chimney of your smoker once every 3–4 months.

• Remove the chimney cap and clean it with a soft sponge, warm water, and mild detergent.

• Scrape off creosote and grease deposits from the inside of the flue tube using a rugged, non-metallic tool (e.g. wood, silicon, or pastic spatua). Remove any residues with a paper towel.

WARNING: Do not spray any liquid/fammable detergents onto the inside of your smoker!

CLEANING THE HOUSING

• Wipe off grease and dirt with a soft sponge, warm water, and mild detergent. Refrain from using an oven cleaning agent, abrasive cleaning agents, or steel wool!

CLEANING THE STAINLESS

• Use a sponge or grill brush, warm water, and some detergent to clean the grids.

• The stainless-steel grilling grids do not rust and can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

• Clean the grilling grids after each use.

WARNING: Make sure that the appliance has cooled down, is switched off, and that the mains

plug is disconnected before removing the ash. Reguarly remove the ash from the inside of your grill. Excess ash in the combustion chamber might extinguish the fire. This applies particuarly when in SMOKE operating mode.

• Remove the grids, the grease removal sheet, and the heat conduction sheet.

• You can remove most ash deposits located outside of the combustion chamber, for example, with a small scoop and a hand brush.

• You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the ash from the inside of the combustion chamber.

• When using a bagless vacuum cleaner: First empty the dust container. Vacuum the ash from the com- bustion chamber. Empty the dust collector and make sure that it's free of ash.

• Using a vacuum cleaner with disposable dust bags: First pace a new dust bag. Vacuum the ash from the combustion chamber. Afterwards, immediately remove and dispose of the entire dust bag.

WARNING: Always dispose of ash residues in a metal container with fitting lid. Do not pace the

sealed ash container on any fammable surface and keep it away from fammable materials until final disposal.50 TROUBLESHOOTING
