PRODUCT UNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before unloading the product, the control should be in the “OFF” or “IDLE” position.

2. Evacuate the smoke from the smoker before fully opening the product loading doors.

a. For smokers equipped with the optional smoke extractor, the smoke extractor will activate when the

product loading doors are open.

b. For smokers equipped with the optional VSP hood system the hood system will automatically

switch the fan to high-speed when the product loading doors are open.

3. Use the pneumatic foot pedal, the rotisserie advance button (standard control), or the up button (optional

control) to advance the rotisserie and bring the desired product rack to the front of the smoker.

4. Product should be removed from top to bottom on the product rack hanger. This will prevent the rack from

becoming unstable and tipping.

ASH REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. The ashes should be handled in accordance with NFPA® 96.

2. After each cook cycle, remove the remaining wood and hot coals from firebox. Use heat resistant gloves

while handling ash container and ash removal tools.

3. Place small lots of them in a noncombustible corrosion resistant pan and spray with water. A noncombus-

tible corrosion resistant pan should be kept just outside the firebox door for this purpose.

4. Once wood and ash have been sprayed, place them in a heavy metal container with a tight fitting metal lid

(16 gauge minimum, capacity not to exceed 20 gallon). This container shall be assigned for this one pur-

pose, shall be able to be handled easily by any employee assigned the task, and shall pass easily through

any passageway to the outside of the building. The container shall always be covered when it is being

moved through the premises. When any hole occurs in a container from corrosion or damage, the contain-

er shall be repaired or replaced immediately.

5. The ashes should be carried to a separate heavy metal container (or dumpster), outside the premises, that is

used exclusively for the purpose of hot ash storage.

WARNING

Never empty ash/coals from the smoker into a common

trash dumpster. Embers from ash/coals could ignite

materials resulting in a fire.

CAUTION

Be sure smoker product loading door(s) and firebox door

are secured in the closed position immediately following a

cook cycle and during non-use periods.
