GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PRIME PELLET GRILL
1. During grilling, adjust the dial at any time to grill hotter or cooler, or to adjust smokiness. The HIGH setting is for grilling, while the IGNITE setting is for smoking or adding
smoke flavor to foods during cooking. IGNITE can also be used as a “holding” setting of about 165° F.
2. This Prime Pellet Grill is a cooking appliance fueled by food-grade hardwood pellets. A heating element inside the grill chamber serves as the ignition point to start the
cooking flame, which then self-sustains with auger-delivered pellets.
3. CAUTION! Never add pellets by hand to the hot fire pot. You can be seriously burned. Pellets should only be added to the hopper and fed to the fire pot by the internal
auger. If you run out of pellets while cooking and the fire burns out, let the grill cool completely and follow the instructions for “First Start-Up” on page 10.
4. CAUTION! The heat baffle must be properly seated on its brackets. The sides of the baffle should point down over the fire pot. If seated incorrectly, direct heat and flame
may cause a grease fire in the grill.
5. Always account for ambient temperatures when estimating grilling times. Your grill will reach cooking temperatures quickly on a hot sunny day, and more slowly on cold,
wet, or windy days.
6. Controller Function: After dialing in cooking temperature, the auger will operate until the desired temperature is reached. To maintain cooking temperature, the digital
controller will activate the auger as necessary to maintain temperature.
7. CAUTION! If you do not properly maintain the grill by cleaning the grease drain pan, drain, and drain tube, grease fires are possible.
8. In the unlikely event of a grease fire, immediately close the grill door and turn the switch OFF (O) to turn off the fan and reduce the oxygen in the cooking chamber. Keep the
door closed until the fire extinguishes itself. If the fire does not go out, sprinkle baking soda on the fire.
9. CAUTION! Remove pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.
10. Do not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance.
CAUTION! Take care to avoid burns.
If the fire does not extinguish, carefully remove any food from the grill using tongs or other available tools. Close the door again until the fire is completely out. After the grill
has cooled completely, remove the grate and any foil used to protect the grease drain pan. Clean the grate, pan, drain, and drain tube of any accumulation of grease. Line
the pan with new foil, then put the drain pan and the cooking grate back in position, restart the grill, and resume cooking.
