UNDERSTANDING THE PROBES
•
TEMPERATURE PROBE
Located inside the pellet side of the grill, on the left side wall. It is a small, vertical piece of stainless steel. The temperature probe
measures the internal temperature of the grill. The temperature that we get from this probe is displayed as ACT on the LCD screen.
IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly affected by ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets used, flavor
of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.
•
MEAT PROBE
The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat in the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the meat probe
adapter to the meat probe connection port on the Control Board and insert the stainless-steel meat probe into the thickest portion of
your meat and the temperature will be displayed on the control board. The temperatures that we received from this probe is displayed
as Probe (#).
To ensure the meat probe is connected properly to the connection port, feel and hear it snap into place.
NOTE: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid direct contact
with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out the hole located on the
left side of the main grill or the top of the main grill (near the grill lid hinge). When not in use, disconnect from the meat
probe connection port and place aside to keep protected and clean.
HOPPER PRIMING PROCEDURE
These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited, and each time the grill runs out of pellets in the hopper. The auger
must be primed to allow pellets to travel through the length of the auger, and fill the fire pot.
If not primed, the igniter will timeout
before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start.
Follow these steps to prime the hopper:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system at the bottom.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the fire pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source. Press the
Power Button
to turn the unit on, and turn the
Temperature Control Dial
to the SMOKE position. Check the following items:
• That you can hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the fire pot and feel for air movement. Do not place your hand
or fingers inside the fire pot. This can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer in the fire pot.
The igniter tip does not glow red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the igniter.
4. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, press and hold the
Power Button
for 2 seconds to turn the unit off.
5. Fill the hopper with all natural barbecue wood pellets.
6. Press the
Power Button
to turn the unit on. Keep the
Temperature Control Dial
in the SMOKE position. Press and hold the
Prime Button
until you see pellets on the inside of the grill from the auger tube. Once pellets begin to drop into the fire pot,
release the
Prime Button
.
