Rust forming on interior surfaces or racks of smoker.

Safety first: Ensure the smoker is unplugged and cool before cleaning.

Steps:

• Scrub light surface rust with a non-metallic scouring pad and mild cleaner safe for food-contact surfaces.
• Rinse and dry thoroughly; run the smoker empty at low temperature to drive off moisture.
• Apply a thin coat of cooking oil to racks and uncoated steel surfaces to inhibit rust.
• Use a fitted GE Profile smoker cover when storing outdoors and avoid leaving water in the drip pan.
