DANGERS, WARNINGS, AND CAUTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE MANUAL BEFORE USING YOUR NEW YODER SMOKERS S-SERIES PELLET GRILL.
Failure to follow the instructions in this manual could result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Contact
your local fire ocials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area if you have questions
on the positioning of your grill. As with any grill, gases such as carbon monoxide are formed. Harmful in concentrated
quantities, carbon monoxide can lead to death. ONLY USE THIS GRILL in an outdoor, open-air environment where the
carbon monoxide can naturally dissipate and not harm you.
WARNING!
Safety guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, your pets, or others:
DANGER!
FOR USERS IN NORTH AMERICA:
DANGER!
FOR ALL PRODUCT USERS:
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea,
vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon
monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry
oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss
of consciousness and death.
• See a doctor if you or others develop any cold
or flu-like symptoms. Carbon monoxide poisoning,
which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is
often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the
eects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• An electrical supply with GFCI protection is
required. To prevent and protect against any shock
hazard, locate a safely grounded 3-prong GFCI
receptacle in reach of the power cord.
• Outdoor extension cords can be used if they
are surface marked with the sux letter “W” and
with a tag stating “Suitable for use with outdoor
appliances".
FOR USERS OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA:
• Plug into an appropriate earthed outlet.
• Do not remove earth prong or modify plug in.
• Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother
and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly,
smokers, and people with blood or circulatory
system problems, such as anemia or heart disease.
• Only use your grill outdoors on a safe,
noncombustible surface and distanced from any
flammable materials or liquids.
• Do not use gasoline, charcoal lighter fluid, or
flammable liquids to ignite or maintain the fire in
the grill. Keep all such liquids well away from this
appliance when in use.
• Hazardous voltage is present, which can shock,
burn, or cause death. Disconnect the power cord
before servicing the grill unless otherwise noted in
this Owner’s Manual.
• Never store flammable liquids near the grill.
• Never use gasoline or lighter fluid to manually light
your grill.
• Never use your grill in the rain or around any
source of water.
• Do not use the grill for anything other than its
intended use.
• Should a grease fire occur, push the power button
and immediately unplug the grill to stop the fans.
Shut the lid until the fire is out.

DANGERS, WARNINGS, AND CAUTIONS
Many parts of the grill will become intensely hot
during operation. Please use caution to avoid
burns both during operation and afterwards while
the grill is still hot.
• Never leave the grill unattended with young
children present.
• Never move the grill during operation.
• Always allow the grill to cool before moving.
• Assemble and operate this grill ONLY per
the instructions in the Assembly Guide and the
Owner’s Manual.
• The grill is intended for outdoor use only.
• Never use heating fuel pellets in the grill, due to
potential hazardous contaminants and additives
that may be present.
• Always store pellets in dry location. Pellets
exposed to moisture will not burn properly and
aect the proper operation of the grill. If wet pellets
are left in the hopper, they lock up the auger.
• Keep the grill clean per this manual.
• Do not modify or use accessories not specified
for use with this grill.
• If your previous cooks have produced large
quantities of flammable grease, it is highly
recommended that the grease be cleaned
from the grill before cooking on it again.
• Keep the grill unplugged while not in use.
• After a period of non-use, the hopper, auger,
and firepot must be inspected for obstruction.
• When operating this grill, maintain a MINIMUM
distance of 18 inches (46 cm) between the grill and
any walls or combustible surfaces. See diagram
below.
• When operating the grill under overhead
combustibles or covered patios, a MINIMUM of
40 inches (102 cm) is required.
• The smoker must be level front to back, but it is
not required to be level from left to right as long
as the drip bucket end of the cooker is the lowest
point — otherwise problems with grease running
towards the burn pot could result in a grease fire.
