SETTING THE TEMPERATURE

The Grill Probe measures the internal temperature of the grill. When
the Target temperature is adjusted, the Grill Probe will read the
Actual temperature inside the grill barrel and adjust to the desired
Target temperature. To adjust the desired Target temperature of the
grill, follow the steps below:
1. Press the Controller Knob or touch the Actual Temperature on the
screen. The Target temperature will blink to show it is active. (A)
2. Turn the Controller Knob to change the Target temperature val-
ue to your desired temperature. Once the desired Target tem-
perature is reached, lock it in by pressing the Controller Knob or
touching the Actual Temperature. (B)

USING THE MEAT PROBES

A meat probe measures the internal temperature of a cut of meat.
Plug-in the meat probe adapter to the meat probe connection port
and ensure it is inserted all the way into the plug. You will feel and
hear it snap in place. Insert the stainless-steel meat probe into the
thickest portion of the meat, and the internal temperature is shown
on the display screen of the Control Board.
NOTE: Ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid di-
rect contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in dam-
age to your meat probe. When not in use, disconnect and set
aside to keep a meat probe protected and clean.
Follow these steps to set your meat probe target temperature:
1. Plug-in the adapter end of a meat probe into a connection port
on the Controller. (A)
2. Touch the display screen or rotate the Controller Knob to select
the desired meat probe (P1 or P2) on the display screen. Push the
Controller Knob to make the selection. (B)
3. Use the Controller Knob or choose a protein preset (animal icons)
to set the desired target temperature (C). The selected meat
probe temperature readout will blink blue while being modified.
4. Once the desired Target temperature of the meat probe is
reached/chosen, lock it in by pressing the Controller Knob. The
display screen will return to the main screen to show the readings
of the programmable meat probe(s) connected: large value is the
Actual temperature, small value is the Target temperature. (D)
NOTE: The protein preset temperatures are set according to
USDA cooking standards. To ensure proper cooking of your
food, check food at the end of cook time. If food needs more
cooking, or needed less, adjust your cooking time accordingly.
P1 and P2 are programmable meat probes. Set the desired Target temperature of a meat probe, and once the meat probe
reaches the Target temperature, a beep will sound and a bell icon will appear. Unplug/re-plug to clear the bell icon.

AUGER PRIMING

First time using your grill or whenever your grill runs out of pellets in the hopper, you will need to prime the auger. If not
primed, the grill will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the auger:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system.
2. Locate the burn pot in the bottom of the pellet grill. Check the buckle latch on the removable burn pot to ensure it
is fastened (locked) for a good seal.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source.
4. Press and hold the Power Button for three seconds to turn the unit on. This will initiate the start-up cycle.
• Check to make sure you hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the burn pot and feel for air movement.
DO NOT place your hands or fingers inside the burn pot, this can cause injury.
• After approximately thirty seconds, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting
warmer above the burn pot. The igniter tip does glow red and will get extremely hot and will burn. Do not
touch the igniter.
5. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the grill off.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
7. Press and hold the Power Button for three seconds to turn on the unit. Touch the Settings menu icon on the Start
Screen. Select Prime. Select the five seconds option and repeat until you hear pellets drop from the auger into the
burn pot.
8. You now can turn your grill off. Please make sure you allow your grill to stay plugged in until it finishes the shut-
down cycle. Once the fan turns off, the grill has completed the shut-down cycle and it is safe to unplug your grill.
9. Your grill is now primed and ready to use! If this is the first use of the grill, proceed with a grill burn-off.

FIRST USE (BURN-OFF)

Once your auger has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill
burn-off to burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.
1. Follow Regular Use instructions to turn the unit on.
2. Turn the Controller Knob to any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes.
3. Follow Shut-down instructions to turn the unit off, or proceed with grilling at your desired temperature.
