AS NEEDED:
(Frequency will depend on usage and local health department's requirements):
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES:
Use non-abrasive cleaning products for use on stainless steel surfaces. Cleaning agents must be chloride-free
compounds and must not contain quaternary salts. Never use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) on stainless
steel surfaces. Always use the proper cleaning agent at the manufacturer's recommended strength.
EXTERIOR:
Southern Pride Smokers are known for their attractive appearance. We achieve this by selecting only the finest
grade of type 304 stainless steel and applying exacting workmanship.
All of the exterior of the smoker can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution.
•
Before cleaning the smoker, make sure it is turned off, main power switch off, and power cord
•
disconnected from power.
On mobile smokers, turn off LP gas.
•
If the smoker is HOT from use, allow adequate time for it to cool down (approximately 1 hour).
•
After the smoker exterior has been washed, apply a stainless steel polish cleaner to all surfaces.
•
Wipe control panel, door handles, and door gaskets thoroughly, since these areas harbor food debris.
•
Do not use scotch bright pads or scouring pads to clean the outside of your smoker. If a non-
•
abrasive scouring pad must be used, make certain to scrub with the visible grain of the surface metal
to avoid scratches.
Caution: Some cleaning products are not suitable for stainless steel; be sure to read the label before use.
PRODUCT DOOR LATCHES:
Remove and clean the product door latches.
1. After the smoker has been turned off and given time to cool, open the product door leaving the roller in the
open position.
2. Using a crescent wrench on the edge of the latch cover, apply force to the crescent wrench towards the
smoker to pop the latch cover free, and then the latch can be lifted away from the backing plate.
3. TO RE-INSTALL: Position the door latch, with the roller in the up position, over the backing plate,
fastening the hooks on the latch over the tabs on the backing plate. Using the palm of your hand, push the
bottom of the latch into the backing plate until it locks in position.
1.
The latch rollers are spring-loaded and will open quickly with a lot of force.
Do not pinch a finger or hand.
