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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PRIME PELLET GRILL DIGITAL READOUT The digital display on your grill shows the current interior temperature of the grill by default. Immediately after adjusting the temperature dial, the desired temperature setting will flash five times before reverting to the current interior temperature. For more precise monitoring of your food items, use the included probe thermometers.
CARE OF YOUR PRIME PELLET GRILL MAINTAINING YOUR PRIME PELLET GRILL 1. CREOSOTE/GREASE ACCUMULATION AND REMOVAL Wood pellets burn slowly, releasing tar and vapors that combine with moisture to form creosote. The vapors will condense and accumulate on cooler surfaces like the grill flue/chimney, forming creosote buildup. Small airborne grease particles can circulate through the cooking chamber and accumulate similarly. Creosote is extremely flammable, and accumulated grease may contribute to possible fires.
CARE OF YOUR PRIME PELLET GRILL Storage CAUTION! If the grill is stored outside during rainy season, be sure that water can not get into the pellet hopper. Depending on climate, you may wish to remove pellets from the hopper between grillings or when not in use for an extended period. Wet pellets will expand and jam your auger, and even intense humidity may contribute to this issue. We recommend using a grill cover to protect your grill from the weather.
TROUBLESHOOTING From time to time in every griller’s life, a problem arises. Here’s how to address the most common issues you may encounter. HELP! My grill won’t ignite. HELP!
