Care and Cleaning
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 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. Do not use the cover if it is
chipped or cracked.
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.
Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
