around the fan intake or chimney. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.

the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that water

does not get into the hopper.

When wet or exposed to high humidity, hardwood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may

jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible

floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or

otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

HARDWOOD PELLET FUEL

This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural hardwood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in

this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural hardwood pellets, designed for burning in pellet

barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives. Hardwood pellets are highly susceptible to moisture and should always be stored in an

airtight container. If you are storing your grill, without use, for an extended period, we recommend clearing all pellets from your grill's

hopper and auger, to prevent jams. The pellet fuel mean heating value in 18,569-20,362 KJ/KG (8,000-8,770 BTU/LB), ash content < 1%.

WARNING: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid, or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill. Keep all

such liquids well away from the appliance when in use.

At the time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue hardwood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards

to make hardwood pellets for domestic use. Further information, can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.
Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area, and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality

of pellets used, moisture affected pellets, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.

CREOSOTE

Creosote - formation, and need for removal. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue that is also black in color. When wood

pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote

vapors condense in a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the

flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The grease duct should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when the grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When

grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.
