HOPPER PRIMING PROCEDURE

These instructions should be followed the first time the smoker is ignited, and each time the smoker runs out of pellets in the hopper. The auger
must be primed to allow pellets to travel through the length of the auger, and fill the feed system. If not primed, the ignitor will timeout before the
pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the hopper:
1. Plug the power cord into a power source. Press and hold the Power button to Power On the unit. Check the following items:
• That you can hear the auger turning. Place your hand near vent and feel for air movement.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the ignitor burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer. The ignitor tip does not glow
red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the ignitor.
2. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
3. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue
hardwood pellets. Monitor the pellet level using the sight-glass along the side.
4. Press and hold the Power Button to turn the unit on again. The smoker start-up cycle has a preset temperature of 176°C / 350°F, so it will begin
to heat up. Press and hold the Prime Button until you hear pellets fall into the inside of the smoker from the auger tube. Once pellets begin to
drop into the burn pot, release the Prime Button.
5. Press the Power Button to turn the unit off.
6. Re-install the cooking components into the Main Cabinet. The smoker is now ready to use.
FIRST USE - BURN OFF
Once your hopper has been primed and before cooking on your smoker for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off. Start the smoker
with the Cabinet Door open until smokes starts to fill the interior of the Cabinet. Then, latch the Cabinet Door and let the unit reach any temperature
over 176°C / 350°F (with the Cabinet Door closed) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the unit and rid it of any foreign matter.

START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the Cabinet Door. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the
hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
2. Press and hold the Power button for three seconds to turn on the unit. This will activate the start-up cycle. The auger feed system will begin to
turn, the igniter will begin to glow and the fan will supply air to the burn pot. The smoker will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle
is taking place. The Cabinet Door must remain open during the start-up cycle. To confirm the start-up cycle has begun properly, listen for a
torchy roar, and notice some heat and smoke being produced.
3. Begin to preheat your smoker with the Cabinet Door closed. The smoker start-up cycle has a preset temperature, so it will begin to heat up.
Allow the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
4. After preheating is complete, you are ready to enjoy your smoker at your desired temperature!

SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE

1. When finished cooking, with the Cabinet Door remaining closed, press and hold the Power Button for three seconds to turn the unit off. The
grill will begin its automatic cool-down cycle. The auger 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.
