WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING START-UP?
• During the initial loading of the auger tube, it will take approximately 9 minutes for the pellets to move from the pellet hopper to the
fire pot. You can speed this process up by holding the Prime button.
• Many surfaces of your Clermont Pellet Grill have been coated in a thin layer of oil to protect it during shipping.
• After you have started a fire in the fire pot and before cooking food for the first time allow the grill to run at 500° F for 30 minutes with
the doors closed to ensure it is properly seasoned. Then allow the grill to go through its natural shut down cycle. After these break-in
procedures are complete the grill is ready to use.
•
Initial Lighting Instructions:
• To be used on initial firing or anytime the grill runs out of pellets.
• Always allow the auger tube to fully load with pellets to ensure proper lighting of the grill.
• The ignitor will cycle 5 minutes on and 1 minute off 4 times during startup.
•
Manual Start-Up Procedure.
To be used if ignitor is not working properly:
• Ensure the grill is off. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
• Check fire pot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Fill pellet hopper with cooking grade pellets.
• Open cooking chamber doors.
• Remove the cooking grates, searing rod, sear shutter, and drip shield to expose the fire pot.
• Place a small handful of pellets into the fire pot.
• Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount of solid fuel fire
starter, such as those composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also recommended.
• Once ignited, add another small handful of pellets in the fire pot.
• Do not use gasoline, lighter fluid, kerosene, or petrol for lighting a fire in your grill.
HOW DO I PROPERLY SHUT DOWN THE CLERMONT?
• Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds and control panel will shut off. Repeat if control panel does not shut off after holding
power button for 3 seconds.
• An auto cool down feature will keep the fan running for 10 minutes.
• After the auto cool down is complete the fan should power off automatically, you may now unplug the power cord from the
GFI outlet.
• Do not unplug the grill while the fan is still working on the shut down cycle, the grill will automatically shut off when the cycle is
done. Interruption of the shut down cycle could result in a fire in the hopper chamber.
