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.
DANGER
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 any of the cooking
temperatures. The grill has 13 cook settings. Low
Smoke, High Smoke, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300,
325, 350, 375, 400, and High. By selecting any of
these the grill will go into the Startup mode. The
digital readout will display “START” for 8 minutes
during the startup cycle. After the 8 minutes the
digital readout will display the internal temperature
of the grill. The dial can be changed at any time
during the startup cycle or the cook cycle between
any of the 13 cook settings.
DANGER
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.
Shutdown
When you are done cooking the dial must be turned
to the Shutdown setting. The digital readout will
display “SDOWN”. In this setting the fan will remain
on for 10 minutes to finish burning any pellets in
the burner and cool the grill down. After 10 minutes
the digital readout and auger will turn off. At this
point the main power switch should be switched to
off. Before grill can be used, the power switch must
be turned off and back on.
DANGER
Do not turn the main power switch off while the
grill is hot.
Bypass Mode
The bypass may be used if there is a power failure,
or the grill is accidentally turned off, or anytime
you need to restart the grill and it is still hot.
The bypass mode should only be used if the grill
has been off less than 3-4 minutes. This method
is used to bypass the normal startup mode and
get the grill cooking again quickly. The burner
must still be hot enough to ignite new pellets
or this method will not work. In order to initiate
the bypass mode you must first select the cook
setting you want. At this point the digital readout
will display “START”. Simply press the green
bypass button in and hold it for 3 seconds. The
digital readout will display “BPASS”. Release the
green button and the grill will go into the cook
mode and the digital readout will display the
grill temperature. If the grill fails to ignite using
the bypass mode then restart the grill using the
normal startup procedures.
Meat Probe
This grill has a built in meat probe to measure
the temperature of the food as it is being cooked.
To use this probe insert the wire through the
stainless flap on the side of the firebox. Insert the
