only be used if the grill has been off less than 3-4 minutes.
This method is used to bypass the normal startup mode and
get the grill cooking again quickly. The burner must still
be hot enough to ignite new pellets or this method will not
work. BYPASS can be selected during the initial startup of
the grill only by selecting BYPASS from the STARTUP screen.
If the grill fails to ignite using the bypass mode then restart
the grill using the normal startup procedures.
MEAT PROBES
This smoker has built in meat probes to measure the
temperature of the food as it is being cooked. To use these
probes insert the wire through the stainless flaps on the
side of the firebox. Insert the probes into the food. Plug the
connectors into the receptacles on the side of the control
panel. If the probes are not installed correctly or the probe is
bad no temperature will display.

PROBE HOLE
CAUTION
Do not use meat probe when grill temperature exceeds
350˚F. Damage to the probe may occur.
Do not allow meat probe wire to lie in the direct heat
zones (as shown by shaded areas).
Direct heat will damage the meat probe wire. Always
route the meat probe through port on the side of the grill.
Do not submerge wire in water. Not dishwasher safe.
WARNING
Normal use will create a buildup of ash, grease, and
creosote inside the grill. The grill must be thoroughly
cleaned after every 50 hours of use or if a buildup of
grease or creosote is noticed inside the grill. Clean
the grill by removing all internal parts and thoroughly
scrape away all grease and creosote from all internal
surfaces including the grease drain and remove debris
from the grill. The drip tray must always be cleaned prior
to turning the grill to high. Excessive buildup of grease
and creosote may result in a grease fire. If a grease
fire does occur, turn off the grill using the main power
switch and close the lid. Leave the lid closed until the
fire extinguishes itself. If an uncontrolled fire does occur,
immediately call the local fire department. Never put
water on a grease fire.
CLEANING
Clean grates using a wire grill brush. This should be
done with each use. DO NOT use oven cleaner or abrasive
cleaners on the painted grill surfaces. Use warm soapy
water on all painted surfaces. Clean grease pan and grease
drain tube occasionally. A spatula can be used to scrape
excess grease and a grill brush to brush clean. Do not allow
grease to build up on the grease tray or in the grease drain
as this can cause flare-ups inside the grill. Make sure
not to obstruct the flow of grease off of the tray and into
the grease drain. Make sure not to block the airflow to the
temperature sensor on the right side of the grill.
TROUBLESHOOTING
GRILL DOES NOT TURN ON.
Grill fails to turn on after switching the power button to the

1. Make sure the grill is plugged into a powered outlet.
Check the circuit breaker and/or GFCI switch. Test the
outlet using another appliance.
2. Unplug the grill and check the fuse located in the bottom
of the control panel. If the fuse is blown replace only
with 4.0 Amp 125V 5x20mm Fast Blow Fuse. Typical fuse
marking will be 4A125V, F4A125V, 4A250V, or F4A250V.
Make sure to confirm they are a Fast Blow Fuse. Actual
fuse dimensions are 5.2x20mm.
If problem cannot be resolved please call customer service.
