5. Initial Startup Instructions
1. Remove the grill rack and grease tray from the grill.
2. Open the hopper lid to check that there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger.
3. With the controller dial in the OFF position, plug in the power cord into 240V AC grounded
power supply. A minimum of 1.2 Amp (300Watt) power supply is required if running off a
battery.
4. Turn the dial to the SMOKE.
5. Check the following:
✓
Confirm the auger is rotating (turns very very slowly and will stop/start intermittently)
✓
Listen for the fan operation and hold your hand above the fire-pot to confirm air flow
6. Pour some wood pellets into the hopper (up to the safety grate level is sufficient) and shut
the hopper lid.
7. Turn the controller dial to the highest temperature (232ºC). It will take 7-8 minutes for the
pellets to feed through the tube and begin to drop into the fire-pot. If LEr is displayed, just
turn to OFF and then back to 232ºC to continue feeding wood pellets.
8. Once pellets begin to drop into the fire-pot, turn the dial back to OFF then immediately to
SMOKE to commence the startup cycle. After 2-3 minutes a big cloud of smoke will be
released then a fire will be established.
9. Once the fire is roaring, carefully place the grease tray and grill racks back into the grill.
Next complete the New Grill Burn-In (section 6), or normal cooking if already burnt-in.
TIP:
If the grill ever runs out of pellets, following
steps 7 and 8 above to prime the feed tube
with wood pellets again, then startup as
normal.
