GENERAL WARNINGS AND SAFETY INFORMATION
CREOSOTE - FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL.
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool air damper exhaust of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote
accumulates on the air damper and grill lining. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The grease tray tube should be inspected at least twice a year for signs of grease buildup.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.
WARNING! It is important to follow these steps if, at any time, the grill fails to light, or the fire in the crucible goes out while
cooking or smoking, when sufficient pellets are still in the pellet hopper. Failure to do so may cause a hazardous "over-firing" of
your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets in the crucible.
1) Press the ON/OFF button to turn OFF the grill. Once the fan has stopped, unplug the power cord. If the grill is still hot,
allow it to thoroughly cool. Open the door and remove all food, all racks, grease deflector and the heat diffuser.
2) WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the crucible (see instructions for proper
handling and disposal of ash in CLEANING and STORING INSTRUCTIONS).
3) Before replacing the heat diffuser, grease deflector and all racks, plug the power cord into an appropriate, grounded
electrical outlet and restart the grill. Pellets should fall into the crucible and the element should begin to heat (it will start to
turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch it.
4) If this procedure is successful, you will soon see flames come out of the crucible. Then press the ON/OFF button to turn
OFF the grill and let the grill cool down. Position the heat diffuser, the grease deflector and racks in their proper locations.
With the door open, press the ON/OFF button to turn ON the grill and set the temperature/timer. In approximately 2
minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the grill as the pellets ignite. After assuring the pellets have
ignited, close the door.
