Product Unloading Instructions; Ash Removal Instructions - Southern Pride SRG-400 Owner's Manual

PRODUCT UNLOADING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before unloading the product, the control should be in the IDLE or OFF position.
2. Carefully open the product loading door just enough to release the smoke from the cabinet, then wait
approximately 5 seconds before fully opening the product loading door.
3. Product should be removed from top rack to the bottom rack.
1. The ashes should be handled in accordance with NFPA® 96.
2. Before emptying the firebox, the control should be in the IDLE or OFF position.
3. 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. The ash pan handle should be used to remove the ash
pan from the firebox. The end of the ash pan handle is inserted into the opening in the end of the ash pan.
The two hooks on the ash pan handle grip the opening in the ash pan and leverage is used as the ash pan is
removed from the firebox.
4. Place small lots of them in a noncombustible corrosion resistant pan and spray with water. A
noncombustible corrosion resistant pan should be kept just outside the firebox door for this purpose.
5. Once wood and ash have been sprayed, place them in a heavy metal container with a tight fitting metal lid
(16 gauge (1.59mm) minimum, capacity not to exceed 20 gallon (76 liters)). This container shall be
assigned for this one purpose, 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 container shall be repaired or replaced immediately.
6.
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.
Never empty ash/coals from the smoker into a common
trash dumpster. Embers from ash/coals could ignite
materials resulting in a fire.
Be sure smoker product loading door and firebox door
are secured in the closed position immediately following a
cook cycle and during non-use periods.
