1.

Temperature Dial must be in the OFF position.

2.

Plug the power cord into a 110 V grounded electrical outlet.

3.

If “ErP” is displayed, the Temperature Dial was not set to OFF.
This causes an inadvertent start error, which halts the Ignition
sequence.  To clear the error, turn the Temperature Dial to
OFF, wait 2 seconds, then set the desired cooking temperature.

NOTE:  This safety feature keeps unintentional starts from
occurring.

4.

If there are flashing dots on the LCD screen, the igniter is on.

The Start-Up sequence is in progress.

START-UP SEQUENCE 

1.

Temperature Dial must be in the OFF position

2.

Plug unit into grounded electrical outlet.

3.

Select the following setting on the Temperature Dial:

 Smoke 

4.

The Draft Fan and Igniter, come on.

The Metal Auger Feed System begins to deliver fuel

continuously for 4 minutes. 

5.

The Igniter will turn off after 5 minutes.  At this point the
Flashing Dots turn off and the grill begins to operate in its
selected mode.

CONNECTING TO  AC POWER 

SMOKE— WARM MODE   -   170° F—225 ° F 

Temperature Dial in the SMOKE position 
1. LCD screen will display the current “ACTUAL” grill temperature.
2.

Once the Start Up Sequence is complete, the Auger delivers
fuel at a constant rate determined by the Smoke Control (P0-
P7).  Default Setting is P 4.  (See Understanding Smoke
Control for further information).

3.

If Grill Temperature begins flashing, this indicates the tempera-
ture is less the 110°F, and that the fire is in risk of going out.

NOTE: Selecting SMOKE does not produce high volumes of visible 
smoke, known as “Dirty Smoke”.   

HOT SMOKE—  COOK MODE   -   200 ° F  -  500°F 

Temperature Dial in any of the 8 Temperatures or HIGH position 
1. LCD screen will display the current “ACTUAL” grill temperature.
2.

Once the Start Up Sequence is complete, the Auger delivers
fuel at a variable rate.

3.

If Grill Temperature begins flashing, this indicates the tempera-
ture is less then 110°F, and that the fire is in risk of going out.

4.

If the Grill Temperature is greater than 615°F, a flashing “ErH”

is displayed indicating a high limit error and the grill will shut

down.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  

If temperature dial is set on SMOKE and the grill is unable to reach your  desired        

temperature, due to ambient temperature, humidity, wind conditions, fuel type and quality, 
and/or thermal characteristics of the grill,  adjusting the “P” SETTING  may help.      

 (see  Understanding “P” SET)
