Step 2: Remove Ash Drawer
Remove Cooking Grates and Charcoal Grate.
Sweep all excess charcoal and ash into Ash
Drawer. Pull out Ash Drawer and empty ash from
drawer, then store in a cool, dry place.
ATTENTION: The grill needs to be cooled before switching from the
Ash Drawer to the Quickchange Gas Insert.
Step 3: Insert Gas Insert
Slide Gas Insert into grill opening in the base of the
grill until it stops and locks into place.
Step 4: Position Heat Exchanger
Install the stainless steel infrared Heat Exchanger
on top of the Gas Insert. Allow the 2 bottom stems
of Heat Exchanger to drop into the slots on top of
the Gas Insert.
Step 5: Place Heat Diffuser Lava Stone
Spread bracket so it makes an “X” shape and lower onto fire bowl, allowing the
bracket to rest on edge of bowl. Lower Lava Stone onto the bracket. Replace
cooking grates with hinged sections facing towards the front of grill.
Step 6: Connect to Gas Tank
Using the Quick Connect fitting on the Gas Supply Hose, pull back spring-loaded
locking ring and slide over male connection. Once it has snapped into place,
give slight tug on gas line to ensure that it is securely connected. Turn the valve
on gas tank to Open position.
Step 7: Ignite Gas Insert
Use leak test* to ensure there are no leaks. Open grill lid.
Confirm the Control
Knob is in the “OFF” position. Press and hold in the Red Ignition Button.
Device will emit a “clicking” sound. Push the control knob in and slowly turn
from OFF setting to LOW setting.
Continue to hold knob. While holding the
control knob on the LOW setting press the Red Ignition Button. Continue
to hold the knob on the LOW setting for about 5-6 seconds, to allow the
thermocouple inside to get warm enough to maintain the flame.
Observe fire is
lit in Heat Exchanger. Close grill lid and observe grill thermometer. Adjust to desired
temperature by adjusting Control Knob.
NOTE:
In order to get to “HIGH”, push the Control Knob in and turn counter-
clockwise until second “click” is heard and the tick mark is completely
horizontal.
If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn the Control Knob to OFF
position. Wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.

of the gas cylinder to check whether there is
air leakage. If solution produces bubbles this
means there is a leak.

The Quickchange cooking temperatures are controlled by
adjusting the burner knob on the Gas Insert.
Experiences may
vary depending on your environment, temperature, wind flow,
etc.
We suggest grilling initially with the Kamado for 5-6 times to
get past the learning curve of your grill, in your environment. The
top vent plays a big role in regulating temperatures and putting
out fuel. Your grill is properly seasoned when it has a buildup of
creosote on the ceramic and top vent.
*Caution – If you’re cooking low and slow, do not let the grill get
too hot. Keep the temperature low, it will take time to cool down.
*Caution - Continuous grilling at high temperatures will cause the
felt gasket to burn.
Prevent Flare-Ups:
If the lid is lifted too quickly, oxygen will rush inside the grill
causing a flare-up. To prevent a flare up, lift the lid 1” / 25mm
and count to three before fully opening the grill.
