INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS
PAGE 22
Follow these instructions when the grill is going to be
used for the first time.
Follow these instructions anytime the grill runs out of
pellets.
INITIAL FIRING
1. Make sure the grill is unplugged and the control dial is set to
the SHUT DOWN position.
2. Remove the cooking grate, drip tray and heat diffuser from
the firebowl and set aside. Observe there are no foreign
objects in the firebowl or fire pot.
3. Open the hopper lid. Observe there are no foreign objects in
the hopper or auger area.
4. Plug cord into a power outlet that is grounded for outdoor
use, preferably a GFCI outlet.
5. Press the POWER switch on. The switch will light when on.
6. Turn the dial to SMOKE and check the following:
1) Auger: look inside the hopper and see that the auger is
turning.
2) Fan: look inside the firebowl and place your hand over
the fire pot to check for air coming from the fire pot.
Do not put your hands inside the fire pot!
3) Ignitor Rod: after about 1 minute, the ignitor rod will
become red hot and the air will become warm.
4) If all of the above are observed, the grill is ready to be
started.
7. Turn the dial to SHUT DOWN.
ADDING PELLETS
1. Fill the hopper with the desired amount grill fuel pellets. The
hopper should be filled at least half way full.
2. Press and hold the FEED button for 3 seconds until FEED is
displayed on the control panel. The auger motor will
activate and fill the auger with pellets. The auger will move
the pellets to the fire pot. The process takes around 5
minutes.
3. Turn the dial to SMOKE to startup the grill. Observe the
pellets come to full flame. After the pellets have started
burning fully, turn the dial to SHUT DOWN.
4. Allow the flame to extinguish, then carefully return the heat
diffuser, drip tray and cooking grate to the firebowl.
5. The grill is ready to use.
Pellet fuel
Use pellet fuel that is labeled for
grilling only. Wording such as grill or
food grade will be printed on the pellet
bag. Never use heating pellets. This
type of pellet contains potentially
hazardous contaminants. There are
many flavors of pellets available each
flavoring food a little differently. Use a
high quality pellet fuel. Do not use
pellets that have gotten wet. Do not
use pellets that have become
excessively powdery or dusty. This is a
sign that the pellets are defective or
have exposed to moisture at some time.
Always store pellet fuel in a dry, clean
and sealed container.
