IMPORTANT: When selecting a SMOKE setting after a temperature dial preset (such as preheating at high heat),
the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets for four minutes. This will momentarily raise the temperature,
but temperature will decrease and stabilize once the "P" setting cycle begins (approximately five to ten minutes).
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method.
1. Turn the temperature dial to the OFF position. Open the lid. Remove the cooking components from the grill. Remove all
unburnt pellets and ash from the burn pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it will be extremely hot.
2. Once all parts are removed and cleaned, turn the temperature dial to SMOKE. Check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn pot and feeling for heat.
• Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the burn pot.
• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot.
• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for it.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Ensure the temperature dial is in the OFF position. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
2. Check burn pot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign
objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill hopper with dry, all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
3. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn pot. Place a generous handful of pellets into
the burn pot. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount
of solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another
small amount of pellets over the burn pot.
NOTE: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
4. Light the contents of the burn pot using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not attempt to add more starter into the burn pot. This can cause injury.
5. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the barrel.
The lid must remain open during the
start-up cycle.
6. Continue start-up by following steps four through six of
Automatic Start-Up Procedure

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
1. When finished cooking, turn the temperature dial to 177°C / 350°F and close the lid. Let your grill run for 5 to 10 minutes
to go through its normal cleaning method. If you have been preparing foods that are extra greasy, allow the grill to burn-
off for an extra 10 to 20 minutes. This will reduce the chance of causing a grease fire for the next start-up.
2. Once the grill burn-off is complete, keep the lid closed and turn the temperature dial down to 93°C / 200°F for five
minutes to allow any pellets to burn out.
3. After five minutes, with the lid remaining closed, turn the temperature dial to OFF. The grill will begin its automatic cool-
down cycle. The auger system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until the
cool-down cycle is complete.
