IMPORTANT:
Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or
probes with aluminum foil.
The product will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum
cleaning. An important step is allowing the grill and cooking grids to self-clean
by running the grill at a high temperature for 5 to 10 minutes after each use.
Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill:
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE
SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
1. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
2. PROBES
3. INSIDE SURFACES
Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above
the fire pot and feeling for heat.
Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5
inches in the fire pot.
Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the fire pot.
Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for a torchy roar.

•
In instances of long periods between use, it is suggested to run all pellets
through your hopper and auger, to prevent jams.
•
Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires
should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
•
Check your grease tray often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind
the type of cooking you do.
•
It is recommended to clean your burn pot after every few uses. This will
ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash in the
burn pot.
•
Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the
bottom of the hopper. Once the hopper access panel is removed (see
Electric Wire Diagram ), carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on
the fan blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.
•
Although the probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or
submerge in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause the
probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it
should be replaced.
•
Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from
the cooking grids. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm
from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris
on the cooking components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a
consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep the grill
lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly,
carefully remove the food, turn the grill off, and shut the lid until the fire
is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
•
NOTE:
Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for
lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
NOTE:
Use a long handled brush or shop-vac to remove excess pellets,
sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out through the hopper screen.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position. Open the barrel lid.
Remove the cooking components from inside. Remove all unburnt pellets
and ash from the fire pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it
may be extremely hot.
1.
Ensure the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position. Plug the power
cord into a grounded power source.
1.
When finished cooking, with the main barrel lid remaining closed, turn the
Temperature Control Dial to OFF.
1.
Allow the grill to the plugged in on 'off' mode for another 10 minutes as the
internal fan will remain on to complete the unit's cooldown cycle.
2.
Check fire pot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Open
the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger
feed system. Fill hopper with dry, all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
2.
Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the fire
pot. Place a generous handful of pellets into the fire pot. Squirt a gelled fire
starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A
small amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust
and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another small amount
of pellets in the fire pot.
3.
Light the contents of the fire pot using a long match or long-nosed lighter.
Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not attempt to add more
starter into the fire pot. This can cause injury.
4.
Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the
main barrel. Continue start-up at step two of Automatic Start-Up Procedure.
5.
Once all parts are removed and cleaned, turn the Temperature Control Dial
to Smoke. Check the following:
2.
If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting
instructions.
3.
If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grill's flame dies out during
a cook, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method.
