OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Materials such as wood, compressed paper and plant fibers that will ignite and burn, MUST NOT
BE LEFT NEAR THIS UNIT. Local safety codes should be complied with in respect to fire hazard
avoidance.
2. The front of the unit must be kept clear to avoid restriction of air supply for combustion or
ventilation for exhaust.
3. There must be adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber, servicing and
proper operation.
4. This unit should be operated only with water pan in place and filled with water. Drippings,
especially fat, will ignite if the unit is used without water in the water pan. Be sure to drain fat and
refill the water pan if the cooking process allows most of the water to evaporate, such as a slow
cooking brisket.

If disconnection of the restraint becomes necessary, you must be sure to reconnect the restraint after
the appliance is returned to its originally installed position.
