Please take attention:
If the grill fails to light or the fire in the Firepot goes
out while cooking, it is vital to follow these steps when sufficient pellets are still in
the Pellet Hopper. Failure to follow the steps may cause a hazardous “over-firing”
of your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets in the Firepot.
1.Turn OFF the appliance and unplug the Power Cord. After the grill cool
down, remove all food, the Porcelain Grills, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat
Baffle.
2.Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the Firepot.
(See instruction for proper handling and disposal of ash)
3.Plug the Power Cord and turn on the grill. Pellets should fall into the Firepot
and the Hot Rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red).
4.If this step is successful, you will see flames come out of the Firepot. Then
turn off the grill and let it cool down. Then place components back in place.
Open the lid and turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. A few minutes later,
when you see whitish-gray smoke coming out of the grill then close the lid
and turn the Temperature Dial to any cooking setting desired.
5.If this step is not successful, see
TROUBLESHOOTING
or contact
Z GRILLS Technical Support to help diagnose the problem before proceeding
to the MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRCUTIONS below:
1.Manual Lighting Instructions:
The grill can still be used to cook and smoke by using the MANUAL LIGHTING
PROCEDURE below if the Hot Rod only is not operating:
1.Turn OFF the appliance and unplug the Power Cord. After the grill cool
down, disconnect the Hot Rod (Purple/White wire pair as shown in the
WIRING DIAGRAM) from beneath the Pellet Hopper. Also, you need to remove
the Hopper Bottom Panel to access the wiring. Once the Hot Rod is
disconnected, replace the Hopper Bottom Panel and plug the Power Cord into
a grounded outlet.
2.Fill the Pellet Hopper with pellets. (Note: Only Dia 6MM Pellets can be used.)
3.Remove the Porcelain Grills, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle, then pour 1/2
cup of pellets into the Firepot.
4.Squirt 2 tablespoons of Alcohol Gel fire lighter into the Firepot on top of the
Pellets.
DANGER:
Never use gasoline, kerosene, lighter fluid or similar liquids to light
a fire in this grill.
5.Carefully light the Alcohol Gel with a fireplace match or a long-reach butane
lighter.
DANGER:
Never squirt Alcohol Gel into a burning fire or a hot Firepot. The
Alcohol Gel bottle could explode and cause a fire, serious injury or death.
6.Let the Alcohol Gel and Pellets burn for approximately 4 minutes.
7.After assuring the Pellets have ignited. Now there is a fire in the Firepot so
SUBSEQUENT START-UP
you should be careful not to burn yourself when you place components back
in place.
2.Controller Operation
Shutdown Cycle:
Auger turns off
Fan continues to run for 5 minutes
After finished cooking, turn the Temperature Dial to Shutdown Cycle position,
the function of this setting is leave the Draft Induction Fan running for 10
minutes to burn redundant pellets in the fire pot. After the fan runs for 10
minutes the fan will stop running and the controller will power off.
CAUTION:
The main power switch will shut the power off to the controller
and the Temperature Dial Knob switch will cut off power to the grill
components only. When servicing the controller or any parts ensure that the
power supply is disconnected to avoid a shock hazard.
LEr(Low Temperature Alarm )
Grill temp was below 150℉ for more than 20 minutes.
HEr(High Temperature Alarm )
Grill temp reached 550℉.
Er1
Ensure temperature probe is properly connected to controller board.
Er2
Temperature probe short circuit.
Whenever either of these alarm conditions occurs you should check to see
what caused this condition and fix the problem.
Please note: After Shutdown Cycle running for 10 minutes, then you can
turn the Switch in the OFF(O) position. Otherwise, it may even cause the
fire in the Firepot go into the Pellet Hopper
.
8.Turn on the grill and turn the Temperature Dial to any setting desired. With
the lid closed, preheat the grill for 10 minutes before placing food.
