Breaking In the Grill
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour
before cooking on the grill for the first time. This
will burn off any manufacturing oils and cure the
paint. Make sure to follow the instructions for
filling the auger tube before breaking in the grill.
WARNING
Always start the grill with the lid open. The
lid must be closed after the start cycle.
Cooking
Once the auger tube has been properly filled
you can begin cooking by selecting SET TEMP
from the main menu and setting the desired
temperature (press selector knob). Upon
confirming the set temperature the grill will go into
Startup Mode. The controller will display START
during the startup cycle and show a countdown
timer. Typical start times are around 6 minutes.
Once Start Mode is complete the controller will
display the grill temperature and set temperature.
WARNING
Do not over-fire the grill by over feeding
pellets into the burner prior to startup. If
flame is inadvertently extinguished never
restart the grill without first cleaning out
the burner. Improper use can cause an
uncontrolled fire.
Direct Flame Mode
Pull grill knob out all the way to allow direct heat as
shown in Fig 21. Best for burgers and steaks.
Fig. 21
WARNING
Always clean grease tray to remove excess
grease drippings prior to cooking in Direct
Flame Mode. A dirty grease tray may result
in excessive flare ups or uncontrolled fire. If
grease fire does occur, turn off grill using the
main power switch and close the lid. Leave
the lid closed until fire is extinguished. If an
uncontrollable fire does occur, immediately
call local fire department. Never put water
on the fire.
