Follow these steps If the grill does not ignite or if the fire in the firepot goes out while cooking: Step 1 Turn the grill off and unplug. Open the hood and remove all food, cooking grates, heat plate and baffle. CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary. WARNING: Always use oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands. Metal parts become hot during use. Use extreme caution when handling cooking grates, grease tray and baffle.
OPERATING TIPS: • Your pellet grill should never be moved while it is hot. If you are transporting your grill in a vehicle after cooking on it, make sure the fire is completely out and the grill is cold before placing it in any vehicle. NEVER put water into the firepot. It will jam the auger and can damage the ignitor. • The pellet grill is designed to operate with the hood closed. • Make sure the heat baffle is properly installed and always in place during use.
COOK MODE: • The temperature dial can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the cooking temperature of the grill. • The 200°F to 300°F temperature settings are for slow cooking/smoking. • The 325°F to 450°F temperature settings are for grilling. • The “SEAR” (500°F) temperature setting is for searing. • Adjust the control knob to a desired temperature. The selected temperature will be in the bottom left hand corner of the digital display.
PROPER CARE & MAINTENANCE: • Remove wood pellets from hopper if grill will not be used for a long period of time. Wood pellets can become soggy due to moisture/humidity and can cause the auger to bind up or not push pellets to burn chamber. • Disposal of ashes – Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
