WARNING
----------------------------------
DO NOT leave your grill unattended while in use.•
DO NOT move grill when in use. Lock wheels in place to stabilize grill.•
DO NOT use water to extinguish flare-ups.•
Ensure grill is on a stable, level surface and all four casters are in firm contact with the ground.•
TURNING ON THE GRILL:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: It is recommended to wash the grill grates and smoking racks with warm soapy water before initial
lighting of the grill.
INITIAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To be used on initial firing or anytime the grill runs out of pellets.•
Always allow the auger tube to fully load with pellets to ensure proper lighting of the grill.•
Step 1: Open both doors and remove cooking grates, sear shutter, and drip shield from inside the grill. Leave
doors open.
Step 2: Plug power cord into a GFI (grounded) outdoor electrical outlet. Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter
(GFI) protected circuit with this outdoor cooking appliance. Never remove the grounding plug or use with an
adapter with 2 prongs. Only use extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the
equipment, and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.
Step 3: Open the pellet hopper lid. Make sure the auger is free from debris and other objects. Press the power
button, turn the temperature control knob to 200° F.
Look inside the pellet hopper to verify the auger is slowly turning.•
Place your hand about 3” above the fire pot and make sure you can feel air blowing out from the fire pot.•
Look inside the fire pot and make sure the ignitor is getting hot. It will take a couple of minutes for the •
ignitor to glow red. DO NOT TOUCH THE IGNITOR!
Verify the digital display is not displaying any error codes. Note: Please see the troubleshooting section for •
error code details.
If all the above checks pass, press the power button to turn off the grill. The internal fan will stay on for 10 •
minutes after the grill is turned off. This is normal.
If any of the above checks fail, consult our Troubleshooting section.•
Step 4: Fill the pellet hopper with cooking pellets.
WARNING: Never use heating fuel pellets as they are not safe for cooking.
Step 5: Turn the grill back on.
NOTE: During the initial loading of the auger tube, it will take approximately 9 minutes for the
pellets to move from the pellet hopper to the fire pot. You can speed this process up by holding the
Prime button.
Step 6: When the pellets start falling into the fire pot, turn off the grill.
Step 7: Replace the drip shield, sear shutter, and cooking grates in the cooking chamber.
Step 8: Keep the cooking chamber doors open. Turn the grill back on again, then dial temperature control
knob to 300° F. After a few minutes you should smell and see smoke coming out of the cooking chamber as
the pellets ignite in about 4 minutes.
NOTE: The ignitor will cycle 5 minutes on and 1 minute off 4 times during startup.
Step 9: After the fire has started in the fire pot close the cooking chamber doors and set the temperature
control knob to the desired setting. Refer to the next section “BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL” for initial curing
instructions.
