ASSEMBLY OF YOUR PELLET GRILL IS NOW COMPLETE. FOR YOUR SAFETY, FOLLOW ALL SAFE GUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS.
Initial Firing Instructions FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS THE FIRST TIME YOU FIRE THE GRILL AND WHENEVER IT RUNS OUT OF PELLETS. FIRE THE GRILL Open the lid and remove the porcelain grid, grease drain pan and heat baffle from inside the grill. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position. Plug the power cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet. Open the pellet hopper lid and locate the auger.
Regular Firing Instructions FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REGULAR FIRINGS. ALWAYS START THE GRILL ON SMOKE SETTING WITH THE LID OPEN. ONCE THE PELLETS ARE IGNITED, CLOSE THE LID AND SET THE TEMPERATURE DIAL TO THE COOKING TEMPERATURE DESIRED. With the lid open, turn the Switch/Dial ON (--) and Temperature Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the pellets ignite.
Manual Firing Instructions If the Hot Rod only is not operating, the Grill can still be used to cook and smoke using the MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE below: 1) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. Allow the Grill to thoroughly cool if it is still hot. From beneath the Pellet Hopper, disconnect the Hot Rod (Red / White wire pair as shown in the the wiring diagram near the end of this manual). You will need to remove the Hopper Bottom Panel to access the wiring.
Operating Instructions The temperature dial can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the cooking temperature of the grill. See the table below for recommended temperatures. HIGH/HIGHER MED/MID RANGE SMOKE for grilling for slow cooking for smoking and adding smoke flavor to food for holding foods at about 180°F The outside temperature effects cooking times. If it is hot outside, cooking times will be less. If it is cold, wet or windy, it will take longer to cook food.
Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining the Grill by failing to clean your Grease Drain Pan, V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube on a consistent basis. In the unlikely event of a grease fire while cooking, TURN THE SWITCH/DIAL OFF AND KEEP THE LID CLOSED until the fire is completely out. Never keep the lid open during a grease fire. If it does not go out, lightly sprinkle baking soda on the fire. BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF.
a) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF and disconnect the Power Cord. Allow the Grill to thoroughly cool if it is still hot. Open the Lid and remove all food, the Porcelain Grid, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat Baffle. b) WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the Firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash in the Cleaning and Maintenance section).
Cleaning and Maintenance Regularly clean grease from the pieces of the unit to prevent grease fires. It is easier to clean off grease when the grill is warm. DO NOT BURN YOURSELF. • Change the aluminum foil on the grease drain pan. • Clean grease from the V-shaped grease drain and grease drain tube. • Wipe grease off the interior surfaces of the grill. • Empty the grease bucket and line with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Use warm soapy water to clean the outside grill surfaces and to cut the grease.
Troubleshooting THE GRILL FAILS TO IGNITE IF THE GRILL DOES NOT IGNITE OR THE FIRE GOES OUT IN THE FIREBOX WHILE COOKING, FIRST TRY RE-FIRING THE GRILL: Turn the power switch to OFF and disconnect the Power Cord. Remove the porcelain grid, grease drain pan and heat baffle. Also remove any food. Remove all unburned pellets and ash from the firebox. Make sure the Grill is COLD, as Ash can cause a Fire. Restart the grill and confirm that the ignition cycle is working.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the power switch to ON. If the auger drive motor is working, the problem is the digital control, which may need to be replaced. If the auger drive motor is not working, but the draft inducer fan is working, the problem is the auger system, which may need to be checked: • Turn the power switch to OFF. • Locate the small fan blade on the back of the auger motor drive.
