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 turn the control knob 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 get the grill is properly lit, turn the control knob 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.
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.
