DISPOSAL OF ASHES
WARNING!
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 the
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
SECTION SIX: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHY WON'T MY GRILL IGNITE?
1. Verify power at the electrical outlet.
a. If Power Cord is connected to a GFl(Ground Fault Interrupter), check and reset if necessary.
b. Initiate startup.
Still no ignition- Proceed to step 2.
2. DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
a. Remove the Control and check the fuse on back. Replace the fuse if blown.
Reinstall the Control!
b. Unplug Hot Rod connector(Purple/White wire pair), plug Power Cord into an appropriate,
grounded electrical outlet and turn the Switch ON (--). NOTE: At this point the Grill will
not ignite.
c. Check the Draft Inducer Fan and the Auger Drive Motor for operation. If both are operating
-- the Hot Rod needs to be replaced. If one or both are not operating, contact Technical
Support for additional troubleshooting help. Contact your Dealer or the Parts Department
to place an order.
3. If the problem is identified to be a failed Hot Rod, the Grill can still be used to cook and
smoke by following the MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS in Section Three of this
OWNER'S MANUAL
WHY ARE NO PELLETS BEING DELIVERED INTO THE FIREPOT?
1. Verify that there are Pellets in the Pellet Hopper. If this is the INITIAL FIRING or the Grill
has run out of Pellets, allow sufficient time for the Pellets to travel from the Pellet Hopper to
the Firepot .
2. Initiate startup. See INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS in Section Two of this
OWNER'S MANUAL.
Still no Pellets in the Firepot -Proceed to step 3
3. DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
a.Unplug the Auger Drive Motor(Red/White wire pair connector) and the Draft Inducer Fan
(Orange/White wire pair connector).
b. Reconnect the Draft Inducer Fan to the Red/White wire pair and the Auger Drive Motor to
the Orange/White pair.
c. Plug the Power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the
Switch ON (--).
d. If the Auger Drive Motor is operating(check the small fan blade on the back of the motor),
the problem is in the Three Speed or Digital Control, which will need to be replaced.
Contact your Dealer or the Parts Department to place an order.
4. If the Auger Drive Motor is not operating but the Draft Inducer Fan is operating,
the problem is in the Auger system, which will need to be checked.
a. With the Switch OFF (o), locate the small fan blade on the back of the Auger Drive Motor.
b. CAUTION! While watching the fan blade, turn the Switch ON (-) If the fan blade does not
turn, turn the Switch OFF (o). This indicates a defective Auger Drive Moto and it will need to
be replaced. Contact your Dealer or the Parts Department to place an order.
c. If the fan blade turns a bit and then stops, continue watching and turn the Switch OFF(o).
If the fan blade UNWINDS slightly, this indicates a jam in the Auger system which will need
to be cleared.
d. DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o)and disconnect the Power Cord. Remove the Pellets
from the Pellet Hopper. Check for foreign objects and wet or decomposed Pellets, both of
which can cause a jam in the Auger system. The Auger will need to be removed to clear a
jam in the Auger system. See "HOW DO I REMOVE THE AUGER IF IT JAMS?"section below.
