OPERATING THE GRILL
26
BREAKING IN YOUR GRILL:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many surfaces of your Pellet Grill have been coated in a thin layer of oil to protect it during shipping. After you
have started a fire in the fire pot and before cooking food for the first time allow the grill to run at the highest
temperature setting for 30 minutes with the lid closed to ensure it is properly seasoned. Then turn the control
knob to off and allow the grill to go through its shut down cycle. The fan will continue to run for a time before
powering off, this is an essential safety step to blow out the fire.
SUBSEQUENT LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Empty the contents of the fire pot. For best results, use an ash vacuum. When done replace all internal
components including the cooking grates.
Step 2: Open pellet hopper lid and check the pellet level. Add more pellets if necessary.
WARNING: NEVER add cooking pellets to a hot fire pot by hand. You could be seriously burned.
If the hopper runs out of pellets or your fire goes out while cooking, let the grill completely cool and
follow the Initial Lighting Instructions.
Step 3: Open the lid and plug the grill into a GFI outlet. Turn the control knob to the desired temperature and
wait for the fire to start, this should take about 10 minutes.
Step 4: After the fire is started in the fire pot close the lid. For best results, preheat the grill for 15 to 20
minutes with the doors closed before placing food in the grill.
GRILL DOES NOT LIGHT OR FIRE IN POT EXTINGUISHES WHILE COOKING:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 1: Turn off the grill and wait for it to complete its shut down processes, then unplug. Open cooking
chamber doors and remove all food, cooking grates, sear shutter, and drip shield.
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: Clean ash and pellets from the Fire Pot. Using an ash vacuum will make this easier.
Step 3: Restart the grill and check the fan, ignitor, and auger to ensure they are operational. You should feel
wind just above the fire pot, the igniter will warm the air above the fire pot after a few minutes and pellets
should be falling into the fire pot from the auger tube. If any of these things do not happen please refer to our
troubleshooting section.
Step 4: Wearing oven mitts/gloves, replace all the components removed in Step 1.
Step 5: Preheat the grill for 10 to 15 minutes with lid closed before placing food back in the grill.
If this procedure is not successful, see Troubleshooting section in your owner’s manual.
