OPERATION

"M" Meat Probe Setting

Insert Meat Probe to P1 or P2, and set temperature dial to your desired one. Then push "M"and hold for 3 

seconds, until there is "   " flashing under "PROBE1". Regulate "+" or "-" to your desired food temperature set; 

then push "M" to set "PROBE2". The last time you push the "M" button, the setting is completed. When set 

temperature is reached, it will be displayed on the LCD screen, and trigger the buzzer to alert user that desired 

temperature has been met. Then switch temperature dial to "STAND BY" or other settings for continuing the 

grill, and the buzzer will stop its alarm signal timely. 

Note: If you don’t set temperature for Meat Probe, 

"PROBE1" and "PROBE2" will only indicate real-time temperature.

SMOKE

NOTE: 

Always clean or check your burn pot before each use. This will ensure proper ignition and heat output. 

AUTOMATIC START UP

1.  Ensure the POWER SWITCH is in the "OFF" position, and TEMPERATURE DIAL in the "STAND BY" position.

2� 

Plug the POWER CORD into a 110-120V grounded outlet. DO NOT break the ground end of the cord or use a 

non-grounded outlet or extension cord.

NOTE: When plugged into a GFI, ensure it is at least 15 amps.

3� 

Open the HOPPER LID to ensure there are NO foreign objects in the hopper or AUGER feed system. Fill 

hopper with dry all natural hardwood wood pellets.

4� 

Open the COOKING LID. This lid MUST be open during the START-UP and STAND BY cycles.

5� 

Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. This activates the startup cycle. The feed system will start to turn, the 

igniter will begin to glow and the fan will supply air to the fire pot. Your grill will begin to produce smoke 

while the startup cycle is taking place. The pellets have ignited once the smoke has cleared. To confirm, 

with your cooking lid still open, you will hear a torchy roar and begin to feel heat being produced.

6� 

Close the lid. Turn the Temperature Dial to HIGH, to allow the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to 20 

minutes.

CAUTION: If excessive flames are visible and no smoke is being produced, turn the power off and 

repeat step 1.

7� 

Remember that lower temperatures produce more flavor, and different wood pellets will produce different 

temperatures; as well as the outside temperature and weather conditions will also affect your cooking 

temperatures. The Temp Probe and read outs on the control and thermometers are APPROXIMATES.

“P” SETTING

 

The main benefit to the “P” Button is that it allows you to fine tune your Pellet Grill to compensate

 

for ambient temperatures, humidity, wind, environmental changes, pellet fuel type and quality. Anytime the

 

temperature dial is first turned to SMOKE the Auger will turn continuously for 2.5 minutes and then shut off for

 

2 minutes, to allow the fire to get established. The auger then starts to cycle, delivering fuel for 16 seconds, 

and then proceeds to turns off. The same goes for next cycle.

 

 

When the “P” Button is pushed, the “P” SET 4 starts flashing on the LCD screen. Regulate setting by pushing 

“+” or “-”. The corresponding “P” setting is displayed on the LCD screen momentarily. There are 8 “P” settings, 

ranging from P0 to P7. Note: Factory default setting is “P4”. Last push the “P” SET, the flashing stops and 

setting is completed. There are 8 “P” settings in SMOKE mode, ranging from P0 to P7. P0 has the highest 

temperature; P7 is the lowest temperature.

 

Do not increase the “P” setting too high when outside temperature is low. As this could result in the 

fire going out.

 

 

“P” SET MANUAL FEEDING

 

Press and hold “P” button for 5 seconds, the “P” button on the LCD screen will continue flashing, and the feeding

 

system will continuously transfer pellets to the Burn Pot. There will be more smoke if this function is used in

 

SMOKE mode, with more heat being produced if used before opening the lid.

 

 

“M” TIMER SETTING

 

After pushing the “M” timer button, the screen displays 01:00, when “01” continues flashing you can regulate “+” or 

“-” to

 

the desired hour. Proceed to push the “M” button, so “00” flashes to regulate “+” or “-” to the desired minute. 

Every time you push “+” or “-” in hour/minute mode, it increases or decreases 1 hour/5 minutes.

 

 

Please note: Do not leave grill unattended for a long duration of time. If there are any grill fires, cut 

off power immediately.
