OPERATING THE GRILL
MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE:
(To be used if ignitor is not working properly):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
Ensure the grill is off. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
Step 2:
Check fire pot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Fill pellet hopper with cooking
grade pellets.
Step 3:
Open the lid and remove all internal components to get a view of the fire pot. Turn the control knob to
the desired temperature and wait until pellets begin falling into the fire pot.
Step 4:
Place a small 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 those composed of sawdust
and wax, or wood shavings, is also recommended. Add another small handful of pellets in the fire pot.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline, lighter fluid, kerosene, or petrol for lighting a fire in your grill.
Step 5:
Light the contents of the fire pot using a long match or a long lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to
5 minutes. Do not attempt to add more starter into the fire pot as this can cause injury.
Step 6:
Quickly and carefully replace all components removed in Step 3. Continue on from Step 2 of the
“Subsequent Lighting Instructions”.
TURNING OFF THE GRILL:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1:
Turn the temperature dial to “OFF”. An auto cool down feature will keep the fan running for 10
minutes. If you don’t allow the grill to run the cool down feature a fire may travel up the auger tube and ignite
your pellet hopper.
Step 2:
After the auto cool down is complete the fan should power off automatically, you may now unplug the
power cord from the GFI outlet.
WARNING: Do not unplug the grill while the fan is still working on the shut down cycle, the grill
will automatically shut off when the cycle is done. Interruption of the shut down cycle could result
in a fire in the hopper chamber.
OPERATING TIPS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
•
NEVER move your Pellet Grill while it is hot. If you are transporting your grill in a vehicle
after cooking on it, make sure the fire is completely out and the grill is cold before placing it in
any vehicle.
• NEVER put water into the fire pot. It will jam the auger and can damage the ignitor.
• The Pellet Grill is designed to operate with the lid closed.
• The temperature readout is an approximate and can be affected by the following factors: outside ambient
temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the lid being opened,
and the quantity of food.
• When selecting a temperature setting, the auger will feed pellets for several minutes. This will momentarily
raise the temperature, but the temperature will decrease and stabilize after 10-15 minutes.
• The auger will not run 100% of the time, it cycles on and off depending on the temperature setting.
• Pellets can hang up in the pellet hopper after cooking for a long period of time. It’s important to monitor the
pellet level and mix the pellets by hand to ensure they flow into the auger.
