Yoder YS 480
Fuse Replacement
If there is no display on the control panel with the switch in the “on” position, check
the power source to verify the GFI hasn’t tripped. If the power source is working, check
the Yoder fuse. The fuse container is located on the left front side of the pellet hopper
below the control panel (See FIG 27).
Verify that the control panel is in the “off” position and disconnect the Yoder from its
power source. Insert a small flat blade screwdriver into the slot on the top of the fuse
container and twist it counterclockwise to open. If the fuse is blown, replace it with the
supplied replacement fuse. (The fuse is a 5-milliamp slow blow fuse.) Reconnect the
power and turn the Yoder on. If the fuse blows again, contact us for technical support.
Grease Management Area and Bucket
Always be sure the grease catch area is clean and free of debris and empty the grease
bucket regularly.
Additional Maintenance:
In addition to regular cleaning, perform the following procedures every 30 days:
1. Use a stiff brush to remove any build-up on the inside walls of your grill. Inspect and
clean the inside of the lid, the heat diffuser/ drip tray and the inside walls of the cooking
chamber.
2. When your grill is cool to the touch use a shop vacuum to thoroughly clean the
cooking chamber, firebox and hopper assembly.
3. Use a citrus based cleaning solution to thoroughly clean the inside of the grill.
4. Finally, visually inspect the painted surfaces and touch up any scratches with high
heat flat black paint.
