There may be excess ash in the Firepot which needs to be cleaned.
WARNING!
If the fire in the Firepot goes out while smoking, when sufficient Pellets
are still in the Pellet Hopper, it is important to follow these steps. Failure to do so
may cause a hazardous "over-firing" of your grill due to an excess of unburned
pellets in the Firepot.
a. DANGER!
Turn the Switch OFF(o) and disconnect the Power Cord. If the Grill is still hot,
allow it to thoroughly cool. Open the Door and remove all food, the Porcelain Grill, Grease
Drain Pan and the Heat Baffle.
b. WARNING!
Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the Firepot.
(See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash in Section Five)
c. Before replacing the Heat Baffle, Grease Drain Pan and the Porcelain Grill, plug the Power
Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the Switch ON (--) Pellets
should fall into the Firepot and the Hot Rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red).
CAUTIONI Do not touch it.
d. If this procedure is successful, you will soon see flames come out of the Firepot.
Then turn the Switch OFF (o), and let the Grill cool down. Position the Heat Baffle,
the Grease Drain Pan and Porcelain Grill in their proper locations. With the Door open,
turn the Switch ON (--)and the Temperature/ Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes
you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite.
After assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set the Temperature/Dial to any
cooking setting desired.
WITH THE DIGITAL CONTROL, WHAT DIAL SETTING IS
RECOMMENDED FOR STARTING THE GRILL?

ON (--) and the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes you will notice
whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After assuring the Pellets
have ignited, close the Door and set the Temperature Dial to any cooking setting desired.
HOW DO I PROTECT MY BBQ FROM A POWER SURGE?
The BBQ should be plugged into a surge protector rated for 1050 Joules if there is no surge
protection available at the source. The warranty will not cover any surge related damages
to the grill.
