• Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this wood pellet fuel-burning appliance. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
• Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions, installation and inspection requirements in your area.
• Save these instructions.
• For outdoor use only. Do not use in any enclosed area.
• Keep grill 30” (76 cm) or more from any combustible surface.
• To prevent grease fires, clean your grill on a regular basis; this includes the Savorizer® and grease tray.
• Do not put anything flammable in the storage area under the grill or in either shelf.
• Do not leave sealed containers of food on or near the grill.
• Keep the grill’s rear and top ventilation slots clear of obstructions.
• It’s recommended that you regularly check your Memphis Grill for burn pot obstructions to make sure proper air flow is maintained. See Periodic Grill Maintenance in this
manual for correct procedures.
• DO NOT cover Savorizer® with foil unless using Memphis brand foil. Other foil may impede air flow.
• Accessible parts of the grill are very hot. Exercise reasonable care when operating your grill. Keep young children away while in use. When children are present, adult
supervision is recommended.
• Do not use lava rocks or charcoal in your grill.
• Always use premium barbecue pellets. Wood pellets produced for heating stoves should never be used.
• Should a grease fire occur, turn off the grill, remove food (use your judgment), and leave the hood closed until the fire is out. Do not unplug the grill unless absolutely
necessary; fans will continue to run until the fire is extinguished. When cooking exceptionally greasy foods, put a foil pan below the food to catch the grease.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this appliance. Keep such liquids well away
from the appliance when in use.
• Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible surface, well away from
combustible materials, pending final disposal. When the ashes are disposed by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed
container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
• To avoid the chance of serious burns, never lean over an open grill or place hands or fingers on the front edge of the grill when hot.
• Do not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance.
• The grill should be plugged into a GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupt) outlet, preferably on a dedicated circuit.
• The grill is to remain plugged into a GFCI during the cool down cycle.
• When not in use, the grill should be unplugged, or be powered off via post purchased dedicated on/off switch.
• Use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating this unit.
• Do not move or clean the grill while operating or while the grill is hot. Make sure the fire is completely out, and that the grill is completely cooled before transporting or
cleaning the grill.
• If the power cord becomes damaged, do not operate the grill.
• If the supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
• Do not use aerosols, liquids or damp materials on or near the grill while it is hot.
• Do not cover the entirety of the cooking surface when grill is hot. Leave at least 2 inches of clearance from the sides and back of the grill body.
• Any modifications (holes, screws, sheet metal changes) to the grill will void warranty.
• Always operate the grill with the grill hood in the closed position, unless the grill is in a Direct Flame mode.
• The grill is never operated in a Direct Flame mode without the optional Direct Flame Savorizer® Insert (VG4407). The Direct Flame Insert must be in place
during operation. Direct Flame cooks should be performed with the hood in the open position. A closed hood during Direct Flame cooks may result in an ER-1 error
message. This error message means that the grill has reached too high of a temperature causing the grill to shut down, avoiding any damage to the grill.
• Never leave your grill unattended during a direct flame cook. Please be cautious if using pots or pans that contain liquids such as sauces, if the grill is unattended,
as spillage may be a fire risk.
Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family or others.
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide
reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and even death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can
easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system
problems, such as anemia, or heart disease. WARNING
