With the grill properly set up and located for operation, ensure the control knob is in the
OFF position. Plug the power cord into a 120V grounded electrical outlet. (Refer to SET UP
PROCEDURE for more information.)
Open the grill lid. Ensure all components are properly installed and ready for use.
Ensure the hopper does not contain any foreign objects and is properly fi lled with barbecue
wood pellets.
Ensure the auger tube is fi lled with pellets. If not, go back to the Set Up Procedure and properly
fi ll the auger tube with pellets.
Turn the control knob to “Smoke”. Listen for the operation of the fan and auger motors. Within 5
minutes smoke should become visible. If smoke does not initially appear, turn OFF power and
wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight. (Refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of the

NOTE: Depending on the ambient temperature and the desired cooking set point, the grill
could take 20 minutes or so to pre-heat and stabilize. If the temperature is higher than
desired, open the lid until the displayed temperature is near the desired temperature as this
will decrease the amount of time needed to stabilize.
NOTE: If the grill is not properly setup so the auger tube is primed with pellets, the lighting
procedure could fail and result in an error message displaying on the LCD screen.
Step 6.
With the control knob set to “OFF”, plug the power into a properly grounded 120V electrical outlet.
DO NOT use if the ground tip has been damaged or removed.
Step 7.
Turn the control knob to “HIGH”.
Step 8.
Observe the auger is turning and that pellets are fi lling the auger tube (this could take a few minutes).
Once pellets begin to fall into the fi re pot, turn the control knob to “OFF”.
DO NOT reach into the fi re pot as the ignitor could be HOT.
Step 9.
Re-install the di" user, grease tray, cooking grids and warming rack. The grill is now ready for use.
To continue, follow the Lighting Instructions. If you plan to cook later, close the grill lid.
