UNDERSTANDING THE "P" SETTING
When the recessed "P" SET button is pushed, the “P” setting displayed on the LCD
screen will flash and change to the next value (upward). Once P7 is reached, it will
restart at P0. There are eight “P” settings, ranging from P0 to P7. The recessed "P" SET
button can be pushed using a thin-tipped object.
IMPORTANT: Do not push the "P" SET button too hard, as this may cause
damage. Only a light push is needed.

USING THE "P" SETTING IN SMOKE MODE
Anytime the temperature dial is set to SMOKE, such as the start-up cycle, the
auger will run on more of a manual mode of cooking versus using one of the
preset dial temperatures. First, the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets
for four minutes. After four minutes, the auger begins to run a feed cycle based
on the "P' setting selected on the Digital Control Board. The default setting is P4.
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 grill body.
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 the
Power Button
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
.
7. Press the
Power Button
to turn the unit off.
8. Re-install the cooking components into the grill body. The grill is now ready to use. (See
Assembly Instructions
to ensure
proper installation of cooking components.)
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once your hopper has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off.
Start the grill and operate at any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill
and rid it of any foreign matter.
