Starting Your Grill
1.
Make sure that the hopper is fi lled with hard-
wood cooking pellets and make sure that you
have completed section 3 (initial priming and
seasoning).
2. Make sure your grill is plugged into a GFCI
protected outlet.
3. Push the power button then, using the TEMP
arrows, select any desired cooking tempera-
ture.
4. Your grill will automatically run a lighting se-
quence that will last about 10 minutes. You
will notice that the
●
Grill
indicator light will
fl ash on the board during the lighting se-
quence. Once the lighting sequence is over
the grill will begin to operate at the tempera-
ture that you have selected.
5. If your grill fails to light and reach a minimum
temperature after 30 minutes, your grill will
automatically shut down and display ER-2
(Failure to light). If this happens, clean out
the burn pot and restart.
Using Your Grill:
Once lit, the grill uses the internal temperature
probe to adjust fuel and fan cycles (bellowing)
allowing the grill to maintain the cooking tem-
perature that you select. If you would like to see
the current temperature inside the grill, simply
push the
DISPLAY
button. The
●
Actual
indica-
tor light will be on and the LED display will show
the current temperature inside the grill. Allow the
grill to pre-heat for 15-30 minutes before placing
your food on the grill. You can change the tem-
perature of your grill at any time by pressing up
or down on the temperature arrows.
Important:
to maintain your desired cooking tempera-
ture, always use the grill with the lid closed as
much as possible. Opening the lid too often
will waste pellets, reduce temperatures, and
greatly increase your cooking time.
Grilling. ~350°-480+°
Grilling is done over high heat and is the way to
go for backyard staples such as steaks, ham-
burgers and hot dogs. For wood-fi red grilling on
your Grill simply power on your grill and set to
the desired grilling temperature.
Using the quick grilling zone
For high temperature grilling and searing you can
easily slide open the quick grill zone by pulling
out the handle located on the right side shelf until
it stops. Place your food on the center of the grill
and sear it to perfection. When grilling on high
(480° or FL-3), the center cooking grid will reach
temperatures over 600°. To close off the quick
grill zone and return to normal barbecuing, push
the handle back in until it stops.
Manual Cooking Mode:
The grill has 3 manual cooking modes in which
the feed system delivers preset amounts of fuel
to achieve a low, medium and high fl ame. To
use manual cook modes, push up on the TEMP
arrows until the set point is 480°. Continue to
push the up arrow and the display will read
FL-1
(low fl ame)
FL-2
(medium fl ame) and
FL-3
(High
fl ame). Warning: operating the grill in FL-3 for
extended periods of time with the lid closed may
cause the grill to overheat and automatically shut
down. To return to normal operation simply push
down on the TEMP arrow and select a desired
temperature.
Pellet grills should usually al-
ways be run with the lid closed to conserve
pellets, but if you would like to cook with the
lid open, these modes provide a consistent
fl ame without using too much fuel.
Barbecuing. ~220°-350°
To BBQ is to cook with indirect heat in a smoky
environment. Roasts, ribs, chicken and various
vegetables are excellent on the Barbecue. Great
BBQ is easy with the Grill. Be sure the Quick Grill
Zone is closed and using the TEMP control pad,
set the your grill to your desired BBQ tempera-
ture. In about 15 minutes the barbecue will be
hot and ready. Load the cooking grids with food,
close the lid and let the Grill do the rest. There’s
no need to tend your food, turning it often, or
worry about it getting burned. That’s the beauty of
indirect cooking. Through convection the wood-
fi re heat is distributed all around the food, sealing
in juices while cooking evenly. When barbecu-
