COOKING
Once the auger tube has been properly filled you can begin
cooking by selecting any of the cooking temperatures. The grill has
13 cook settings. Low Smoke, High Smoke, 175, 200, 225, 250,
275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, and High. By selecting any of these
the grill will go into the Startup mode. The LED will flash green for
8 minutes during the startup cycle. After the 8 minutes the LED
be green. The dial can be changed at any time during the startup
cycle or the cook cycle between any of the 13 cook settings.
SHUTDOWN
When you are done cooking the dial must be turned to the
Shutdown setting. The LED will be red. In this setting the fan will
remain on to finish burning any pellets in the burner and cool
the grill down. After 10 minutes, if the grill has cooled the main
power switch should be switched to off.
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, grease trough, 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 trough as this can cause flare-ups
inside the grill. The grease tray can also be lined with aluminum
foil for easier cleanup. Make sure not to obstruct the flow of
grease off of the tray and into the grease trough. Make sure not to
block the airflow to the temperature sensor on the left side of
the grill.
TROUBLESHOOTING
GRILL DOES NOT TURN ON.
Grill fails to turn on after switching the power button to the
on position.
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 remove the control panel on the controller.
Check the fuse located on the back of the controller. If the fuse
is blown replace only with 5.0 Amp 250V 5x20mm Slow Blow
Fuse. Typical fuse marking will be T5AL250V. Make sure to
confirm they are a slow blow fuse. Actual fuse dimensions are
5.2x20mm.
If problem cannot be resolved please call customer service.
GRILL DOES NOT HEAT UP OR LED IS RED
1. Turn Power Off
2. Check hopper for pellets
3. Check firebox to see if there are pellets in the firebox by
removing the rack and heat deflectors. Use a vacuum to clean-
out any pellets that may be in the bottom of the grill.
A. Try restarting the grill. If restarting the grill does not work and
pellets are getting to the burner cup the heating rod may need to
be replaced.
B. If there are few or no pellets in the burner then turn the dial to
the feed position and see if pellets fall into the burner. If there
are no pellets check to see if the auger is turning. If the auger
motor is turning but the auger is not there may be a sheared
auger pin. You can determine if the auger motor is turning by
watching the small white fan at the end of the auger motor under
the hopper. If the white fan is turning the auger motor is on. If the
white fan is turning and the auger is not you will need to replace
the auger pin. If problem cannot be resolved please call
customer service.
LED FLASHES RED
1. Turn the power off and unplug the grill.
2. Check to make sure the sensor inside of the grill is connected
properly to the electronic board under the hopper.
3. Call customer service for a replacement sensor.
WARNING
Do not turn the main power switch off
while the grill is hot.
