Operating Instructions: Memphis Wood Fired Convection Grill and
Computerized Intelligent Temperature Control (ITC).
About the ITC:
The ITC is very much the same as the control on your kitchen oven. The big difference is
the ITC's ability to automatically compensate for different ambient conditions. This means that you can
cook outside whether it's 40° or 90°+. When you first start your convection grill, the ITC captures the
ambient temperature and then enters a "Learn" mode which allows it to make adjustments to compensate
for ambient conditions.
Automatic Start Up
1. Place FUNCTION MODE SWITCH to Cook or Smoke Mode.
(Corresponding light will illuminate)
2. Set the TEMP DISPLAY Arrows to the desired temperature (Set light will illuminate)
3. Set TEMP DISPLAY to Actual. (Actual light will illuminate)

. Note: Actual temperature will fluctuate up or
down. This is normal and represents the normal fluctuation of any oven.
4. To Start
•
Press the
l/O (on-off) button
to initiate the start cycle. At this time the igniter heats up, the Cook
light on the control flashes and the combustion fan starts. Additionally the auger will run
continuously for approximately 30-40 seconds to prime the grate for ignition.
The Cooking Center
will automatically start in 4-8 minutes. The igniter will turn off automatically when the either the
internal
temperature
reaches
130º
F
or
15
minutes
has
passed.
Note:
1: If hopper was just filled; hold Pellet Prime button in until you hear pellets falling onto
the burn grate and then release.
2: Should the igniter fail to ignite in approximately 15 minutes the Cooking Center will
shut down automatically and the display will indicate error code 2.
3. Your Grill will smoke for a few minutes while the pellets are lighting and coming to full
burn.
NOTE: If the fire does not start, the Grill will continue to feed pellets and the fan will run for
approximately 10-15 minutes. The grill will then automatically shut off. If this happens, some
unburned pellets will build up in the burn pot. To restart the fire, clean the excess pellets out of the
burn grate and repeat the above steps.
