Manual Start-Up Procedure; Shutting Off Your Grill - Cabela's CB24ESC1 Instructions

IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method.
1. Ensure the grill is turned off. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from the grill. At the bottom of
the grill barrel, remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the burn pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it
will be extremely hot.
2. Once the burn pot is cleaned out, press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn pot and feeling for heat.
• Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the burn pot.
• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot.
• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for it.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill hopper with dry,
barbecue hardwood pellets.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
3. Open the barrel lid.
4. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn pot. Ensure there is no obstruction in the burn pot for proper
ignition. Place a generous handful of pellets into the burn pot. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet
starter, over the top of the pellets, then add another small amount of pellets over the burn pot. A small amount of solid
fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate.
NOTE: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
5. Light the contents of the burn pot using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not attempt to add more starter into the burn pot. This can cause injury.
6. Once the fire has caught, quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the barrel. The lid must
remain open during the start-up cycle.
Continue start-up by following steps four through six of Automatic Start-Up Procedure .

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL

1. When finished cooking, set the temperature setpoint to 177°C / 350°F (press SET, press TEMP, press the adjustment
arrows, then press TEMP again to lock-in the setpoint). Let your grill run for 5 to 10 minutes to go through its normal
cleaning method (burn-off). If you have been preparing foods that are extra greasy, allow the grill to burn-off for an
extra 10 to 20 minutes. This will reduce the chance of causing a grease fire for the next start-up.
2. After the burn-off, with the lid remaining closed, press the Power Button to turn the unit off. This will activate the
cool-down cycle . The feed system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until
the cool-down cycle is complete.

When the cycle is complete, the fan will turn off.
