NOTE: Never put spilled pellets from the ground back into your
pellet hopper.
NOTE: If the auger still does not operate, call the MAK GRILLS
service department for additional help.
GRILL IS NOT GENERATING AS MUCH SMOKE AS BEFORE
Ÿ
Empty out the firepot so that it is completely clean.
Ÿ
Clean the louvers in the back of the grill—both inside and out. Do the
same with the louvers going into and out of the Warmer/Smoker box.
Ÿ
Clean thermocouple.
Ÿ
Try using a fresh bag of barbecue pellets.
GRILL DOES NOT GET AS HOT AS BEFORE
There are several reasons why this may be happening:
Ÿ
Dirty thermocouple: (located in the back left-hand corner of the main
cooking chamber). Take a piece of moistened steel wool and clean the
thermocouple all the way around, up and down so that it looks brand
new.
Ÿ
Clogged exhaust louvers: Clean the exhaust vents on the back wall of
the cooking chamber. Clean the exterior louvers as well as those in the
Warmer/Smoker box.
Ÿ
Damp Pellets: Try a fresh bag of pellets.
Ÿ
Change the brand and variety of pellets you are using. Fruitwood and
Alder pellets have lower BTU's. Hickory, Oak and Mesquite pellets burn
the hottest.
PELLET BOSS® DISPLAY SAYS HOPPER OPEN-AUGER IS NOT
TURNING
Ÿ
This is a safety feature in our grills.
Ÿ
First, insure that the pellet hopper lid is closed.
Ÿ
If the Pellet Boss® continues to display the HOPPER OPEN message,
check the magnet connection found inside the far left lip of the hopper
lid. Make sure that it is aligned with the magnet on the inside of the
pellet hopper body.
Ÿ
If the situation persist, you can override this feature by removing the
fan/access panel and disconnecting the connection to the HOPPER
SWITCH found on the back ride side of the Pellet Boss® board. This
will completely disengage this feature.
Ÿ
Contact the MAK Service Deparment for additional assistance.

TURNING COMPONENTS ON OR OFF USING THE PELLET BOSS®
Periodically you may need to turn a component off in order to perform
repair or testing. Instead of having to manually unplug the components
from the back of the Pellet Boss®, you can now turn them on or off using
settings in the
maintenance screen.
NOTE: If you make any changes to the operation of these
components, you must manually restore them to their default
settings AA, FA and IA .
Ÿ
To access the maintenance screen, turn the grill on and press and hold
the UP button until MAK GRILL VER 3.0 or higher is displayed. Use the
RIGHT
button to advance the screen until you reach SERVICE
.
Ÿ
You will see (3) three pairs of letters; AA, FA, IA (AUGER/AUTO,
FAN/AUTO, IGNITER/AUTO). The default settings are all “A” (for Auto
where the components will run automatically).
Ÿ
To turn a component on or off, push the STAR button once. The “A” for
AUTO will begin to flash. Use the UP or DOWN button to select “O”
which indicates OFF or “1” which indicates ON.
Example: If you wanted to clear out your auger of pellets because you will
not be using your grill for an extended period of time:
Ÿ
Press the UP arrow button until MAK GRILL VER 3.0 (or higher) is
displayed.
Ÿ
Press the LEFT arrow button to get to the SERVICE screen.
Ÿ
Press the STAR button. The second “A” of “AA” will begin flashing.
Ÿ
Press the UP or DOWN arrow button until you see “1” displayed.
Once the auger has been cleared of pellets, go back to the SERVICE
screen and restore all of the components back to AA, FA, IA to
ensure that the grill components will work automatically as they are
intended to.
When this is done, press and hold the up button for (3) three seconds to
exit the maintenance screen. The Pellet Boss® will return to the
SETPOINT SMOKE (default) screen.
