Follow these steps If the grill does not ignite or if the  re in the  repot goes out while cooking:
Step 1 Turn the grill off and unplug. Open the hood and remove all food, cooking grates, heat plate and
baffle.
CAUTION: Some parts may contain sharp edges. Wear protective gloves if necessary.
WARNING: Always use oven mitts/gloves to protect your hands. Metal parts become hot during
use. Use extreme caution when handling cooking grates, grease tray and baffle.
Step 2 Open Ash Clean-out to remove all pellets and ash from the  repot. Close ash clean-out.
Step 3 Restart the grill and check that the ignitor is working. The ignitor should get hot after 2-3 minutes
and pellets should be falling into the  repot from the auger tube.
Step 4 Wearing oven mitts/gloves, replace the baffle, grease tray and cooking grates.
Step 5 Preheat the grill for 10 to 15 minutes with the lid closed before placing food back in the grill.
If this procedure is not successful, see Trouble Shooting section in your owner’s manual.
MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE (To be used if ignitor is not working properly):
Step 1 Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
Step 2 Check  repot to ensure there is no obstruction for proper ignition. Fill pellet hopper with
cooking grade pellets.
Step 3 Open the hood. Remove the cooking grates, heat plate, and rotate the heat baffle to expose
the  repot. Place a small handful of pellets into the  repot. Squirt a gelled  re starter, or other
appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount of solid fuel  re starter,
such as those composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also recommended. Add
another small handful of pellets in the  repot.
NOTE: Do not use gasoline, lighter  uid, kerosene, or petrol for lighting a  re in your grill
Step 4 Light the contents of the  repot using a long match or a long lighter. Allow the starter to burn 3
to 5 minutes. Do not attempt to add more starter into the  repot as this can cause injury.
Step 5 Quickly and carefully replace the heat baffle, heat plate, and cooking grates. Continue on from
step 2 of the “Subsequent Lighting Instructions.
TURNING OFF THE GRILL:
When using higher temp settings, we recommend turning the grill down to the 200°F setting for
around 10 minutes before turning off and then allowing it to go through the cool down process. This
helps prevent  re from burning in the auger tube and smoke from coming through the pellet hopper.
To turn the grill off you must push the control knob inward and hold until the screen powers off and
displays “25”. This “25” is an auto cool down feature that will keep the fan and auger running for 25
minutes. If you don’t allow the grill to run the cool down feature it can cause a  re in the auger tube
and catch the pellet hopper on  re.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE POWER CORD FROM THE WALL OUTLET WHEN YOU ARE NOT USING
THE GRILL.
WARNING: NEVER add cooking pellets to a hot  repot by hand. You could be seriously burned. If
the hopper runs out of pellets or your  re goes out while cooking, let the grill completely
cool and follow the Initial Lighting Instructions.
COOKING:
Set temperature controller to desired level and allow temperature to be reached.
Place food on cooking grill.
With hood closed, cook until desired internal temperature is reached.
Use caution when removing food from Pellet Grill. All surfaces are HOT and may cause burns. Use
protective gloves or long, sturdy cooking tools to remove food.
This grill is HOT while in use and will remain HOT for a period of time afterwards. Use caution.
Pellet grills do not provide smoke 100% of the time. Even though you don’t see smoke you are still
getting smoke  avor.
