SAFETY INFORMATION

MAJOR CAUSES OF APPLIANCE FIRES ARE A RESULT OF POOR MAINTENANCE AND A FAILURE TO

MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE

THAT THIS PRODUCT BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.

Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure

you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new wood pellet grill. We also advise you retain this manual

for future reference.

DANGERS AND WARNINGS

You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction,

to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill

being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.

1. A minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 305mm (12 inches)

from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained.

Do not install appliance on combustible floors,

or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities

having jurisdiction.

Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This wood pellet appliance must

not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.

Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power

cord from the connected outlet. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an

all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur,

call the Fire Department.

2. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water

source.

3. After a period of storage, or non-use, check the fire pot for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage

around the fan intake, chimney, or rear barrel exhaust holes. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to

prolong the lifespan of your unit.

If 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, wood

pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any

service or maintenance.

Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that

the grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.

4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not

specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under

the barbecue.

5. To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped

with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by

Customer Service or an authorized dealer.

This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction

by a person responsible for their safety.

6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.
7. Do not enlarge igniter holes or fire pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will

void your warranty.

8. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.

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.

WOOD PELLET FUEL

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

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

barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives. Wood 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.

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 wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards

to make wood 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, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.

CREOSOTE

Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot

or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and

maintain the burn area, moisture affected pellets, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the fire pot is overfilled with pellets. When

ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit OFF,

let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.
If creosote has formed within the unit, allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away

any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.

CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon

monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,

nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless

gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon

monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.

• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood

or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.
