Section Two: OPERATION
NOTE:
Always clean or check your burn pot before each use.
This
will ensure proper ignition, heat output and many continuous
happy grilling experiences
.
Automatic Start Up
1. Ensure the Temperature Dial is in the “OFF” position.
2. Plug the power cord into a 110V grounded outlet. DO
NOT break the ground end off the cord or use a
non-grounded outlet or extension cord.
NOTE: When plugged into a GFI, ensure it is at least 15
amps. Lower quality GFI’s may trip, try plugging appliance
into a surge protected power bar first.
3.
Open the HOPPER LID. Ensure there are NO foreign
objects in the hopper or AUGER feed system.
Fill hopper with dry all natural hardwood bbq wood pellets.
4.
Open the COOKING LID.
This lid MUST be OPEN during
the START-UP and COOL DOWN cycles.
5. Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE.
This activates the start up cycle. The feed system will start
to turn, the igniter will begin to glow and the fan will supply air to the fire pot.
Your grill will begin to produce smoke while the start up cycle is taking place.
The pellets have ignited once the smoke has cleared. To confirm, with your cooking lid still open, you
will hear a torchy roar and begin to feel some heat being produced.
6.
Close the lid. Turn the Temperature Dial to HIGH, to allow the unit to preheat for approximately15 to 20
minutes.
CAUTION: If excessive flame is visible, i.e the flame broiler is glowing red, turn the feed control down.
7. After the pre-heating is complete, you are now ready to enjoy the pellet grill advantage.
Remember that lower temperatures increase the cooking time, producing more flavor and less chance of
flare-ups.
NOTE:
Different wood pellets will produce different temperatures; as well the outside temperature and
weather conditions will also affect your cooking temperatures.
The settings and read outs on the control and thermometers are APPROXIMATE.
IF GRILL FAILS TO IGNITE:
1. Turn the Temperature Dial to OFF. Open the lid, remove the Cooking Grids and Flame Broiler.
2. Remove all unburned pellets and ash from the Fire Pot.
DO NOT touch the Igniter. This item gets extremely HOT and will cause burns.
3. When all cleaned, turn Temperature Dial to SMOKE. Check the following:
A. Visually confirm the Igniter is working, by placing your hand above the burn pot.
B. Visually confirm the Igniter is protruding approx. 1/2” into the burn pot.
C. Visually confirm Pellets are dropping in the Fire Pot from Auger.
D. Confirm the Combustion Fan is working.
4. If one or all of the above are not working, see the trouble shooting section or
contact Customer Service. 1-877-303-3134
