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 and detergent. With the grates removed, light and set the grill to 450F (in “cook mode”) with the lid down for 20 minutes. After burn off, turn the grill OFF and replace the grates.
Operating your Intelligent Temperature Control. Control I/O, ON/OFF Touch Pad This pressure sensitive touch pad is used to turn the grill/appliance on and off. • Turning the grill “on” activates the automatic start-up mode and illuminates the digital LED readout. • Pressing the touch pad again activates the shut down mode of the appliance. • The ON/OFF touch pad allows electricity to flow to the electrical components for 20 minutes.

Using Your Memphis Wood Fired Convection Grill Prior to starting your cooking center, inspect the Burn area inside the grilling area.

Operating Your Memphis Wood Fired Convection Grill and Intelligent Temperature Control. About the ITC: The ITC is very much the same as the control on your kitchen oven. The big difference is the ITC's ability to automatically compensate for different ambient conditions. This means that you can cook outside whether it's 30° or 90°+.
minutes (depending on conditions and temperature settings) your grill will be ready for use and to maintain your desired cooking temperature (see food preparation chart, Appendix A for recommended cooking temperatures) Cooking Mode: Temperature will be automatically maintained at your set temperature range. You may notice some fluctuation up and down during this time. This is a normal part of any oven/appliance operation.
Manual Start Up: In case of igniter failure, you can start your “Convection Grill” manually. 1. Remove the stainless steel grills, flavorizers, and the flame deflector. 2. Inspect the stainless steel burn pot to ensure that is clean of debris, ash and that the igniter air holes are not obstructed. Also check to ensure proper placement of the burn grate. 3. Place a small handful of pellets in the bottom of the burn grate – just enough to cover the igniter tube airway hole.
Information About BBQ Cooking Pellets Flavored pellets come in a variety of flavors such as Mesquite, Alder, Apple, Hickory, Maple and Cherry to name the most common. They contain approximately 8,200 BTU’s of heat per pound, have very little ash and a low moisture content. Always use Premium BBQ Pellets in your grill. Premium BBQ pellets have a maximum length of 1.5” and burn more cleanly. Long pellets and excessive sawdust can greatly effect pellet feeding and temperature consistency.
Stainless Steel Burn Pot and Igniter Periodically check the air holes found in the burn pot for any blockages or build-ups. Using a wire brush, scrape off any build up or blockage. When reinstalling, confirm the proper positioning in the burn pot. The burn pot should be level from side to side and from front to back as well as should have a snug but not tight fit. You will also want to visually check the air holes in the igniter tube. Clean any debris or blockage out of both areas to ensure a perfect start.
Aluminum Foil Extra-strength foil is always useful for grilling. Used to make foil packages, cover food, or to fold up into a flat dish to act as a drip pan. Also used to speed up cooking, protect bones from burning, and to keep foods warm. Drip / Roast Pans Used to prevent flare-ups, keep food from drying out, eliminate basting, and catch those flavorful juices that drip from the meat.
Food Handling and Safety Following are some basic hints for food safety. Number one rule is if in doubt about the safety of any food item, error on the side of caution! Make sure your hands are clean before handling food. Be sure you wash your hands thoroughly after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry. Prevent the cross contamination of bacteria by using separate platters and utensils for raw and cooked food. To prevent cross contamination, use different utensils for each basting function.
