How do I
remove the
auger if it
jams?
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord.
CAUTION! If the grill is still hot, allow it to cool thoroughly.
Remove any covers necessary to access the auger drive motor.
Remove the screw connecting the auger drive motor shaft to the auger shaft and the screw
retaining the auger bushing into the auger tube.
With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the auger shaft, turn the auger
counterclockwise. It will turn hard until it breaks free; then the auger will turn freely.
Remove the auger and clean all pellets, ash, or foreign objects from the auger, auger tube,
and repot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash on page 19.)
Sand the outside surfaces of the auger with medium grit sandpaper. Check the inside of the
auger tube and sand it if needed. Vacuum the sanding grit out of the auger tube and repot
when nished. Check that the auger rotates freely.
Reattach the auger shaft to the auger drive motor shaft.
Why does
my grill
re go out
on SMOKE
setting?
There may be excess ash in the repot which needs to be cleaned.
WARNING! If the re in the repot goes out
while smoking and there are sufcient pellets
in the pellet hopper, it is important to follow
these steps. Failure to do so may cause a
hazardous “over-ring” of your grill due to an
excess of unburned pellets in the repot.
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and
disconnect the power cord. Allow the grill to
cool thoroughly. Open the door and remove
all food, the porcelain-coated grill grate, the
grease drain pan, and the heat bafe.
WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and
ash from inside and around the repot. (See
instructions for proper handling and disposal
of ash in on page 19.)
Before replacing the heat bafe, grease drain
pan, and porcelain-coated grill grate, plug
the power cord into the appropriate grounded
electrical outlet and turn the switch ON (I).
Pellets should fall into the repot and the hot
rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn
red). CAUTION! Do not touch the hot rod.
When ames start to come out of the repot,
turn the switch off (O). Let the grill cool
down. Now you’re ready to place the heat
bafe, grease drain pan, and porcelain-
coated grill grate back into the grill. With the
door open, turn the switch ON (I) and turn
the temperature dial to SMOKE. In about 2
minutes, the pellets will ignite and whitish-
gray smoke will come out of the grill. After the
pellets have ignited, close the door and turn
the temperature dial to any cooking setting
desired.
If this does not x the problem, contact
