These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited (after grill burn-off), and after every few uses, to ensure
proper ignition:
1. Remove all cooking components, and the burn grate, from the interior of the grill. Inspect the burn pot to ensure it is
clear of debris. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the feed system or hopper.
2. Replace the burn grate into the burn pot. Ensure the hole in the burn grate is facing the igniter to light the pellets, and
the lip of the burn grate should be flush with the top of the burn pot.
3. Re-install the cooking components into grill. The grill is now ready to use.

Before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off. Start the grill and operate at high heat
(over 233°C / 451°F) with the lid down for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.

It is important to allow your grill to preheat before every cook session. This allows the grill and cooking grids to heat up quicker,
kill off bacteria and other pathogens leftover from past grill sessions, and the grill is then able to maintain its cooking temperature
once your food is placed in the cooking area. Preheat with the lid closed.
: The outdoor ambient temperature, weather conditions, and quality of wood pellets will all affect your
cooking temperature. Observe the time it takes to reach your desired temperature, and adjust the cooking time as needed.

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the burn grate to ensure there is
no obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed
system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
2. With the barrel lid closed, turn the unit on by pressing the Power Button. This will activate the start-up cycle : the feed
system will begin to turn, the fan will start, and the igniter will begin to get hot. The grill will produce smoke while the
start-up cycle is taking place. The pellets will have successfully ignited once the smoke has cleared. The start-up cycle
lasts until the appliance reaches an minimum temperature of 65°C / 150°F or the igniter times out (10 minutes).
3. Preheat your grill. Press the  button to indicate that the setpoint temperature is displayed, and press the
Temperature Adjust Arrows to a minimum of 121°C / 250°F for 20 minutes.
4. After preheating is complete, set your desired temperature to start grilling!
NOTE: When reducing your temperature, open the grill lid until the  temperature is relatively close to your
desired temperature.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method.
1. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from inside the main barrel. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from
the burn grate, and return into correct positioning. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may be extremely hot.
2. Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for heat.
• Visually confirm that the igniter is aligned with the hole in the burn grate, and open to light the pellets.
• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn grate.
• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for airflow.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .
