How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use caution when touching the smoker during operation; unplug and cool before inspection.

Steps:

  • Check installation: Ensure adequate clearance around the smoker as per Klarstein manual.
  • Inspect inner liner: Look for gaps or loose panels inside that could allow heat to reach the outer shell.
  • Internal inspection: If comfortable, remove outer panels to inspect insulation. Replace missing or badly degraded insulation with high‑temperature insulation rated for cooking appliances.
