SERVICING AND CLEANING
ALWAYS ALLOW THE SMOKER TO COMPLETELY COOL
BEFORE ANY SERVICING / CLEANING. DO NOT SPRAY
ANY CLEANER OR LIQUIDS ON THE APPLIANCE WHEN
HOT.
Any components removed during servicing/cleaning
must be reinstalled, as previously instructed in this
manual, prior to future operation. CONTACT YOUR
DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS.
It is recommended that the smoker be cleaned after
each use.
INTERIOR CLEANING
1. Ensure the ash compartment is completely cleaned out
of all coals and ashes.
2. Wipe down the charcoal grid, wood chip grid, and ash
tray with a damp cloth.
3. Remove the cooking grids, drip collector, and drip tray.
Properly dispose of the drip tray grease. Wash all
items with warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry.
4. Wipe down the entire interior of the smoker with a damp
cloth to remove any loose food particles. Dry thoroughly.
5. Wipe the door seal with a mild degreaser to remove
any grease. This will help maintain a proper seal.
STAINLESS STEEL CARE
Stainless steel surfaces when exposed to temperatures
produced by the cooking process will change color. The
stainless steel will change color from silver to brown and
blue. This can be removed by using Fire Magic Stainless
Steel Cleaner (3581-1).
Clean your smoker by fi rst using Fire Magic Barbecue and
Grill Cleaner (part #3580-1) to remove grease and dirt. Always
wipe with the grain (See Fig. 18-1). Next, use Fire Magic
Stainless Steel Cleaner (3581-1) to restore the stainless
steel color. Finish by wiping your unit down using Fire Magic
Polish Wipes (3586-1).
If your smoker is located in a seaside (salt air) or poolside
(chlorine) location, it will be more susceptible to corrosion
and must be maintained/cleaned more frequently. Do not
store chemicals (such as chlorine or fertilizer) near your unit.
Due to the nature of stainless steel, surface iron oxide
deposits may appear. Do not be alarmed – these deposits
are removable with stainless-steel cleaner through prompt
and periodic maintenance. If not attended to promptly,
permanent pitting may occur.
REPLACING THERMOMETER BATTERIES
Remove the thermometer from the its compartment by
slightly sliding it to the left, then lifting the right side outward
until it clears the compartment. Locate the battery holder
attached to the back of the thermometer, and replace the 2
AA batteries. See Fig. 18-2 and Fig. 18-3.
