Read Prior to Lighting!

Initial Burn Off

Before cooking for the first time, we recommend that you “burn off” the grill to rid it of any foreign matter

used in the manufacturing process. Remove the stainless steel cooking grates and wash with a mild soap

or detergent. With the grates removed, light and operate the grill at 450F (in cook mode) with the lid down

for 20 minutes. After “burn-off”, turn the grill OFF and replace the grates. Prior to “burn-off”, completely

remove the plastic film on all stainless steel surfaces. Failure to do so will cause the film to melt to the

metal, and it will be extremely difficult to remove.

Lighting your Grill

It is recommended practice to go through the Periodic Grill Maintenance(pg. 21) procedures after every

10 uses. This will ensure proper ignition of the pellets and is part of the normal maintenance procedure.

Light as per instructions found in detail in this manual. If the grill fails to light, it is most likely due to a dirty

or plugged burn pot and/or a burn pot obstruction blocking the auto igniter air passages. (refer to Using

Your Memphis Advantage Wood Fired Convection Grill on page 16 for cleaning instructions.) Should

your auto igniter refuse to ignite the wood pellets, it is easy to light your grill manually with a match and

lighting agent. (Refer to Manual Start Up on page 19 for instructions.)

Pre-Heating

It is extremely important to ALWAYS allow your grill to preheat for 15 minutes at 500° before cooking. This

allows the grill and grates to heat up and maintain proper temperature once your food is introduced. If you

don't allow the grill to preheat, you'll find that it takes a longer period of time to bring both the grill and the

food to cooking temperatures.

Lid Position

Always cook with the lid closed. An open lid negates the convection air and lengthens cooking times.

Cooking with the lid closed keeps the temperature even, cooking the food faster while using less fuel. A

closed lid also helps to create a smokier flavor.
