SUBSEQUENT START-UP
Please take attention: If the grill fails to light or the fire in the Firepot goes out while
cooking, it is vital to follow these steps when sufficient pellets are still in the Pellet Hopper.
Failure to follow the steps may cause a hazardous “over-firing” of your grill due to an excess
of unburned pellets in the Firepot.
1.Turn OFF the appliance and unplug the Power Cord. After the grill cools down, remove all
food, the Porcelain Grills, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat Baffle.
2.Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the Firepot.
(See instruction for proper handling and disposal of ash)
3.Plug the Power Cord and turn on the grill. Pellets should fall into the Firepot and the Hot
Rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red).
4.If step 3 is successful, you will see flames come out of the Firepot. Then turn off the grill
and let it cool down. Place components back in place once the grill has cooled. Open the lid
and turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. A few minutes later, when you see whitish-gray
smoke coming out of the grill then close the lid and turn the Temperature Dial to any cooking
setting desired.
5.If step 3 is not successful, see TROUBLESHOOTING or contact Z GRILLS Technical
Support to help diagnose the problem before proceeding to the MANUAL LIGHTING
INSTRCUTIONS below:
1.Manual Lighting Instructions:
The grill can still be used to cook and smoke by using the MANUAL LIGHTING
PROCEDURE below if the Hot Rod only is not operating:
1.Turn OFF the appliance and unplug the Power Cord. After the grill has cooled down,
disconnect the Hot Rod (Purple/White wire pair as shown in the WIRING DIAGRAM) from
beneath the Pellet Hopper. Also, you need to remove the Hopper Bottom Panel to access
the wiring. Once the Hot Rod is disconnected, replace the Hopper Bottom Panel and plug
the Power Cord into a grounded outlet.
2.Fill the Pellet Hopper with pellets. (Note: Only Dia 6MM Pellets can be used.)
3.Remove the Porcelain Grills, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle, then pour 1/2 cup of
pellets into the Firepot.
4.Squirt 2 tablespoons of Alcohol Gel fire lighter into the Firepot on top of the Pellets.
DANGER: Never use gasoline, kerosene, lighter fluid or similar liquids to light a fire in this
grill.
5.Carefully light the Alcohol Gel with a fireplace match or a long-reach butane lighter.
DANGER: Never squirt Alcohol Gel into a burning fire or a hot Firepot. The Alcohol Gel
bottle could explode and cause a fire, serious injury or death.
6.Let the Alcohol Gel and Pellets burn for approximately 4 minutes.
7.After assuring the Pellets have ignited, be careful not to burn yourself when putting
components back in place.
8.Turn on the grill and turn the Temperature Dial to any setting desired. With the lid closed,
