OPERATION
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE
IF FOR ANY REASON YOUR ELECTRIC IGNITER FAILS, YOU CAN START YOUR GRILL USING THIS MANUAL
METHOD.
NOTE: Always clean or check your burn pot before each use. This will ensure proper
ignition, heat output and a successful grilling experience.
Manual Start Up
1.
Ensure
the Temperature Dial is in the "STAND BY" position and Power Switch to "OFF" position.
2�
Plug the POWER CORD into an 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. Lower quality GFI’s may trip, try plugging
appliance into a surge protected power bar first.
3� OPEN
the HOPPER LID. Ensure there are NO foreign objects in the hopper or Auger feed system. Fill hopper
with dry all natural flavored wood pellets.
4�
Remove the cooking grids and flame broiler to expose the burn pot.
5�
Place a generous handful of pellets into the burn pot.
6�
Squirt gel fire starter, or other approved pellet starter, over the top of the pellets or add a small amount of
solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or use wood shavings. Add a small amount
of pellets over the fire starter.
7�
Light the starter using a long fireplace match or long lighter.
WARNING: NEVER ATTEMPT TO ADD MORE STARTER INTO A FIRE THAT IS ALREADY BURNING OR INTO A
HOT BURNGRATE. YOU COULD EXPERIENCE A BURN BACK AND YOU COULD GET SERIOUSLY BURNT.
8. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
9�
Quickly and carefully replace the FLAME BROILER and COOKING GRIDS.
10. Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. This activates the startup cycle. The feed system will start to turn,
and the fan will supply air to the fire pot. Your grill will begin to produce smoke while the startup cycle is
taking place.
11. Turn the Temperature Dial to HIGH, to allow the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL, LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN UP THE FIRE.
KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE GRILL WHILE IT IS IN USE.
