Important Safety Information Warning: Read all Safety Information Before Operating Grill For outdoor use only. Do not use in any enclosed area. Keep grill 24” or more from any combustible surface. To prevent grease fires, clean your grill on a regular basis (especially after cooking greasy foods at lower temperatures). This includes your drip tray (most owners line the drip tray with aluminum foil for easy clean up).
Carton Contents Please note that during shipping some movement may have taken place, so a complete visual inspection is required. Be sure to inspect entire grill after removing the protective shipping carton. Some surfaces may be sharp, so wear gloves when assembling. *Grill requires (2) two people for safe assembly* Do not plug in the grill until it is fully assembled and you’re ready to cook. See: “Start Up Procedure” for more details.
Assemble Your Rec Tec Grill STEP 1 – Unpack and Prepare for Assembly Remove and discard the 4 rubber bumpers from the grill lid and lid stopper. These are for shipping protection only. Remove all items from inside grill body and lay grill body on its back, with chrome towel loop facing up. For ease of assembly, complete steps 1-5 below before standing grill upright. STEP 2 – Attach Legs Attach legs with fixed wheels 5 on the left side, with wheels facing outward.
STEP 5 – Install Smart Grill Technology™ Controller A Find the metal bottom shelf. Insert the two white braided RTD wires through the grommet a shown illustration 1. B Plug the two white braided RTD wires onto the tabs b labeled ‘RTDA’ where indicated in illustration 2. Slide them firmly onto the connectors and be careful to not touch any other parts of the circuit board. Replace the shelf cover with the 4 included sheet metal screws.
STEP 6 – Stand Rec Tec Grill Upright After completing the Smart Grill Technology™ installation in Step 5, stand the grill upright. You will need two people to do this as the grill is very heavy. STEP 7 – Bull Horn Handle Assembly Attach bull horn handles 6 and 7 to grill body using 4 small bolts (M6 x 16). (See Bolt Assembly Order diagram.) There is a left and a right handle. Proper placement will result in the handle facing inward with the tip slightly upward.
STEP 10 – Flame Deflector, Drip Pan and Cooking Grate Installation Open the lid of the Rec Tec Grill. Install the Flame Deflector 12 with large notched cutout facing the rear of your grill over the Air Box Assembly A and the small notch over the small tab located at the inside front center of the grill body. Be Careful Not To Damage the Temperature Sensor c During These Steps.
STEP 11 – Interior Light Bulb and Lens Installation Open the lid of the grill and locate the light housing c on the back interior wall. Insert the halogen bulb A into the 2-sockets in the bottom of the interior light assembly. BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE GLASS OF THE BULB AS SKIN OILS WILL REDUCE THE LIFE OF THE BULB. Do not touch the glass part of the halogen bulb as it will reduce bulb life. Bulb Replacement Information: The Rec Tec Grill uses a 120V, 50W halogen bulb with a GY6.35 base.

Operating your Smart Grill Technology Controller About the Smart Grill Technology™ Controller The SGT is the “brain” of your Rec Tec Grill and the reason for its ease-of-use. When you select a temperature, the SGT adjusts the pellet feed rate and compensates for ambient (outside) temperatures to maintain a precise temperature.
3 Temperature Display Screen Displays temperature readouts (either Actual or Set Point) error messages, and power up readout. LED Messages: rEC, GrLL, 5.10 These three screens will display when the appliance is plugged into a GFI electrical outlet. This describes the make and model of the Smart Grill Technology™ processor. (The 5.10 in this example identifies the software revision – your grill may indicate a different version of software.) 350F This is the default temperature at start up.
Manual Start Up: In case of ignitor failure, you can start your Rec Tec Grill manually: 1. Remove the stainless steel Grates, Drip Pan, and Flame Deflector. 2. Inspect the stainless steel burn pot to ensure that is clean of debris, ash and that the Ignitor Rod is not obstructed. 3. Place a small handful of pellets in the bottom of the Fire Pot. Add a small amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or use wood shavings.
Maintenance & Cleaning A few simple steps will ensure that your Rec Tec Grill will give you many years of service with minimal effort. • Use a wire brush to clean your cooking grates after every cook to provide years of trouble free use from them. • Cover your drip tray with aluminum foil and change it frequently. This is the simplest way to maintain your drip pan.
