BREAKING IN THE GRILL
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour before
cooking on the grill for the first time. This will burn off any
manufacturing oils and cure the paint. Make sure to follow
the instructions for filling the auger tube before breaking in
the grill.
WARNING
Always start the grill with the lid open. The lid must be
closed after the start cycle.
COOKING
Once the auger tube has been properly filled you can begin
cooking by selecting SET TEMP from the main menu and
setting the desired temperature. Upon confirming the set
temperature the grill will go into the Startup mode. The
control will display START during the startup cycle. After 6
minutes the control panel will change to the temperature
display screen.
WARNING
Do not over-fire the grill by over feeding pellets into
the burner prior to startup. If flame is inadvertently
extinguished never restart the grill without first cleaning out
the burner. Improper use can cause an uncontrolled fire.
DIRECT FLAME MODE
Pull grill knob out all the way to allow direct heat as shown

If an uncontrollable fire does occur, immediately call local
