PREPARING YOUR SMOKER/
ROASTER FOR USE
1 Carefully unpack your Smoker Roaster and remove all
packaging materials. Be sure to remove parts from all sides of
packing.
2 Wash all parts according to the "Cleaning" section of this
manual.
3 Read this manual and all other included documentation
before you use your Smoker Roaster.
NOTE: Due to the manufacturing process, some smoke and
odor may be noticed during the first use. This should disappear
after the first heating of the Smoker Roaster.
Where to Use
Place your Smoker Roaster outside on a hard, level surface away
from roof overhang or any flammable materials. You may want
to locate the Smoker Roaster away from any open windows or
doors to prevent smoke from entering your house. In windy
weather, the Smoker Roaster should be located in an area
protected from the wind.
IMPORTANT POINTS
• Always use the REMOVABLE ROASTING PAN in the roaster
oven when cooking.
NOTE: Never place food or liquid directly into the ROASTER
OVEN BODY.
• Avoid the steam vents when removing or lifting the LID.
• Significant amounts of heat escape whenever the LID is
removed; therefore the cooking time must be extended.
Avoid frequent removal of the LID for checking cooking
progress or stirring.
