Care and Cleaning
Any servicing, other than the normal care and cleaning as described below, should be
performed by an authorized service representative.
1. Allow smoker/slow cooker to cool completely before cleaning.
2. If the appliance was used to smoke foods, remove the smoking racks, charring cup lid,
and charring cup. Then remove the wood chips.
CAUTION! To prevent a fire, always soak the wood chips in water before discarding.
3. Wash the smoking racks, charring cup, charring cup lid, and cover in warm, soapy
water. Do not remove the cover gasket. Rinse and dry thoroughly. These parts can also
be cleaned in the dishwasher.
4. Pour a small amount of warm, soapy water into the smoker base and clean the inside of
the base, including the charring tray. A nylon mesh pad can be used, if necessary. Empty
water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive
cleaners on the smoker base.
CAUTION! To protect against electrical shock or burns, never immerse the smoker base
or power cord in water or other liquid.
5. If the appliance was used to slow cook, remove the slow cooking pot. Pour the water
out of the smoker base and dry thoroughly.
6. Wash the slow cooking pot and cover in warm, soapy water.
Do not remove the cover gasket. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
These parts can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Soaking the slow cooking pot to loosen food residue is not
necessary. If, however, soaking the pot is desired, do not
soak for more than two hours. Soaking for more than two
hours may damage the nonstick finish.
Do not use steel wool scouring pads or abrasive cleaners
on the slow cooking pot.
7. Place the charring cup with lid back into the smoker base
for storage. Insert the slow cooking pot into the base. Then
stack the smoking racks inside the slow cooking pot. It
works best to invert the bottom and top rack and position
the middle rack so the legs are facing down (Fig. H).
Glass Cover Care and Use Instructions
CAUTION! The glass cover may break for no apparent reason if you fail to follow these
instructions. Broken glass can cause personal injury or property damage.
Handle the cover carefully. Do not scrape or gouge glass with hard or sharp utensils. Do not
use the cover if it is chipped or cracked.
Do not handle a hot cover with a wet towel or place it on a cold or wet surface. Sudden
extreme changes in temperature may cause the glass to break. Allow the cover to cool before
washing. Do not use steel wool or abrasive powders which can scratch or weaken the glass.
Nonabrasive pads or powders may be used if necessary.
Periodically check the screw on the cover handle for looseness. Retighten, if necessary.
NOTICE: Continuing to tighten, once secure, can result in the stripping of the screw or
cracking of the handle.
