FIRST USE - BURN OFF
Before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a unit Burn Off. Start the unit and operate at a temperature over 180°C /
350°F, with the lid down, 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 Main Barrel lid. Check the burn grate to ensure there is no obstruction for proper
ignition. 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.

With the Main Barrel lid closed, turn the unit on by pressing the Power Button. This will activate the start-up cycle: the feed system will
begin to turn, the fan will start, and the igniter will begin to get hot. The grill will produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The
pellets will have successfully ignited once the smoke has cleared. The start-up cycle lasts until the unit reaches an minimum temperature of
65°C / 150°F or the igniter times out (24 minutes).
3.
Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete. Set your desired temperature to start grilling!
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURE

When finished cooking, keep the Main Barrel lid closed, press and hold the Power Button to turn the unit off. This will activate the automatic
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
completed. Once the cool-down cycle is complete, the fan will turn off.
