Operating Instructions
CURING THE GRILL
Before initial use, it is recommended to cure the grill to remove manufacturing oils or residue and minimize smoke odors or
unnatural flavors from being added to food.
• Follow “Setup Procedure” to ensure the grill is safe for operation.
• Follow “Lighting Instructions” to start the grill.
• Set the temperature to 250 F and allow to operate for 2 hours.
• Increase the temperature to 400 F and allow to operate for an additional hour.
• Turn OFF the grill and allow to properly cool.
YOUR GRILL IS NOW CURED AND READY FOR USE.
PREHEATING THE GRILL
Prior to each use, preheat the grill to remove bacteria or foreign material left from previous use.
This also increases the cooking performance since all of the grates and components have balanced temperature.
Without preheating, it takes much longer to get food to cooking temperature.
• Follow “Setup Procedure” to ensure the grill is safe for operation.
• Follow “Lighting Instructions” to start the grill, then set the temperature to "High".
• Close the lid and allow the grill to maintain at least 400 F for about 10 minutes.
• Open lid, set the controller to the desired temperature. Close the lid once the temperature is close to the desired setting.
• Cook food as desired. (See “Cooking Instructions” for more operating information.)
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
The pellet grill has two modes to control the pellet feeding speed. These are designated as the Cook Mode and the Smoke
Mode. The Cook Mode is for grilling or slow cooking methods, while the Smoke Mode is for smoking and adding flavor to
foods being prepared.
COOK MODE
After the grill is properly lit, set the controller to the desired cooking temperature. The grill will automatically maintain the
set temperature by adding pellet fuel to the fire pot when needed by monitoring the internal grill temperature. Therefore, it
is important to keep the grill lid closed for the grill to function properly.
SEAR PLATE
This feature is used to sear and grill foods at a high temperature. When the Sear Plate is open it will provide direct flame and
heat to the cooking surface which is great for searing meat and other foods.
Set the grill to your desired grilling temperature, keeping in mind that searing is best done at temperatures above 400F. Pull the
Sear Handle to the left in order to open up the Sear Plate and allow direct heat to the cooking surface. You may want to ex-
periment with different temperatures for different foods to determine what sear temperature works best for your specific meal.
This feature is also great to pre-heat your grill quicker, burn off the cooking grates and to achieve higher heat temperatures in
extremely cold weather conditions.
For smoking or cooking at temperatures below 400F it is best to keep the Sear Plate closed. To close the Sear Plate push the Sear
handle to the right. This provides indirect cooking where heat circulates around the grill resulting in convection style cooking.
NOTE:
The maximum temperature the pellet grill can achieve is influenced by the ambient temperature.
In colder weather, the grill may not be able to achieve the highest set temperature and it will continually feed pellets into
the fire pot attempting to reach the set temperature.
A MAJOR CAUSE OF FIRES IS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES (AIR SPACES) TO
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS PRODUCT BE INSTALLED ONLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
