FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGULAR FIRINGS.
ALWAYS START THE GRILL ON SMOKE SETTING
WITH THE LID OPEN.
ONCE THE PELLETS ARE IGNITED, CLOSE THE LID AND SET THE
TEMPERATURE DIAL TO THE COOKING TEMPERATURE DESIRED.
With the lid open, turn the Switch/Dial ON (--) and Temperature Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes
you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the pellets ignite. After assuring the pellets
have ignited, close the lid and set the Temperature Dial to the cooking setting desired.
The grill should be allowed to pre-heat for about 10 minutes with the lid closed before
cooking any food.
If you are smoking at high temperatures and want to return to smoking temperatures, we recommend to
set the temperature to 165-170° fahrenheit, allowing for your grill to cool down faster before turning to the
smoke setting. NOTE: You may also open the grill lid to help reduce internal temperature faster.
WARNING! If at any time, the Grill fails to light or the fire in the Firepot goes out while cooking or smoking,
when sufficient pellets are still in the Pellet Hopper, it is important to follow these steps. Failure to do so may
cause a hazardous “over-firing” of your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets in the Firepot.
1)
DANGER!
Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. If the Grill is still hot, allow it to
thoroughly cool. Open the Lid and remove all food, the Porcelain Grid, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat
Baffle.
2)
WARNING!
Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the Firepot. (See instructions
for proper handling and disposal of ash in Cleaning and Maintenance Section).
3)
Before replacing the Heat Baffle, Grease Drain Pan and the Porcelain Grid, plug the power cord into an
appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and restart the Grill. Pellets should fall into the Firepot and the Hot
Rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch it.
4)
If this procedure
is
successful, you will soon see flames come out of the Firepot. Then turn the Switch
OFF (o), and let the Grill cool down. Position the Heat Baffle, the Grease Drain Pan and Porcelain Grid in
their proper locations. With the Lid open, turn the Switch ON (--) and the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. In
approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After
assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Lid and set the Temperature/Dial to the cooking setting desired.
5)
If this procedure
is not
successful, refer to the troubleshooting tips or contact our Technical Support to
