12. Initial Startup Instructions
Follow the initial startup process before first use, and each time after the grill
runs out of wood pellets.
13. New Grill Burn-In
1. Remove Grill Racks, Grease Tray and Heat Baffle from the Grill.
2. Open the Pellet Hopper Lid and check to ensure there are no foreign objects in the
Hopper or Auger. Open the Grill Lid as well.
3. With the power switch in the OFF position, plug in the power cord to 240V grounded
10 Amp power supply.
4. With the Controller Dial in the Shut Down Cycle position, switch the grill ON and
then turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE position.
5. Check the following:
✓
Confirm the Auger is rotating (it turns very very slowly and will stop/start)
✓
Hold you hand above the Fire-pot to confirm air flow
✓
Look to see if the Ignition Rod turns a dull red (very hot) colour in 2-4min.
DO NOT TOUCH THE IGNITION ROD - IT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS
6. Pour some Pellets into the Hopper (1-2 kg is sufficient)
7. Turn the Dial to HIGH and wait for the Pellets to slowly feed through the long tube
into the Fire-pot. This will take 7-8 minutes.
8. As soon as Pellets begin to drop into the Fire-pot turn the Dial to SMOKE and wait
until the Pellets ignite and come to full flame.
9. Place the Heat Baffle, Grease Tray and Grill Racks back into the Grill. The grill is
now ready to completing the New Grill Burn-In (first time use), or normal cooking.
This process runs the grill at the highest temperature setting (burning pellets) to burn
o
ff
any surface oils on the metal components and remaining odour from the paint.
This must be completed before cooking any food. The smoke will have an oily odour,
so avoid breathing in the smoke or completing the Burn-In near an open window.
1. If you have just completed the Initial Startup Process, the unit should be running on
the SMOKE setting with the Heat Baffle, Grease Tray (no foil) and Grill Racks all
placed inside. Proceed to step 3.
2. If OFF, turn ON, open the Grill Lid and turn to SMOKE. Once lots of smoke appears
and you hear the roaring sound of the fire, proceed to the next step.
3. Close the Grill Lid and turn the Dial to HIGH position.
4. Run on HIGH for at least 45 minutes.
5. Turn to SMOKE and run for another 10minutes.
6. Turn the Dial to Shut Down Cycle and let the grill cool down and turn itself OFF
which will take about 10 minutes.
7. Wipe down the Grill Racks with a moist cloth and cover the Grease Tray with foil
before cooking.
