How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure your hands are dry when handling electrical plugs.
- Check outlet and breaker: Verify the wall outlet has power and the circuit breaker or GFCI has not tripped. Reset if necessary.
- Inspect power cord: Confirm the cord is fully inserted into the smoker’s inlet and the outlet. Look for damage or burn marks on the plug.
- Clear PF code: Press the power button to clear the PF message and re‑enter your cooking time and temperature.
- Use dedicated circuit: Avoid sharing the smoker’s circuit with high‑draw appliances to reduce nuisance power drops.
