STEP 7 – INSTALLING THE GRILLS & BAFFLE PAN
Cover the Grease drain pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil, making sure you
don’t block the grease drain ports (15). Apply foil starting at the back of the
Grease drain pan, covering the surface completely from side to side. Assure that
Grease drain ports(15) are not blocked. Overlap additional strips of foil to cover
the entire Grease drip pan top surface. Using foil will make clean-up easier for
you. Slide the Grease drain pan (14) back into place making sure that the grease
drain ports (15) slide through the wall of the grill body. Hang the Grease buckets
on the hooks above the Grease drain ports (15)
THERMOSTAT CONTROL FUNCTIONS
1) L.E.D. Temperature Read-Out-- This is the temperature taken inside the
barbecue by the RTD sensor (20). The temperature displayed on the L.E.D.
read-out will be within 5 degrees F. (+/-) of the actual temperature inside the
barbecue.
2) Temperature Dial—When you turn the dial from OFF to one of the
temperature settings on the thermostat dial, the barbecue burner will start and
run until it reaches the temperature where the dial is set. The unit will remain
cooking at that set temperature.
If you turn the dial to SMOKE on start-up, the burner will run for approximately
four (4) minutes and then the barbecue will go into the SMOKE mode.
SMOKE SETTING
The Smoke setting is not controlled by a temperature setting. It is controlled by a
time setting. The auger runs for fifteen (15) seconds and is off for sixty-five (65)
seconds. This cycle will create wood smoke. The Smoke setting can also be
used as a “holding” temperature of approximately 150 degrees F.
AUTO-START
Your COM200 has three separate burners. Each burner has a firepot with a hot
rod igniter mounted directly under the auger tube. The hot rod is activated when
you turn the power switch ON. The hot rod becomes cherry red hot when the unit
is in ignition mode. Barbecue pellets are fed into the firepot over the top of the
glowing hot rod. The heat given off by the hot rod causes the pellets to combust.
After approximately four (4) minutes, the hot rod shuts off and the burners run
until they reach the pre-set temperature you’ve selected on the thermostat dial.
The digital temperature displayed is the temperature inside the unit where the
food is cooking, plus or minus five degrees F.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Licensing requirements vary from state to state. You should check with the
appropriate licensing authorities to determine if your unit needs to be licensed as a
trailer or similar licensing and/or whether it needs to be licensed if used for
commercial food preparation. If required, please contact the factory for Proof of
Origin certificate to assist you with the licensing of your unit.
