OPERATING THE PELLET SMOKER
BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Carry out the following steps before using your pellet smoker for the first time. Repeat the steps each
time you're out of pellets.
1.
Open the lid of the grilling chamber and remove the grids, grease removal sheet, and heat conduc-
tion sheet from your smoker.
2. Open the lid of the pellet chamber and make sure that it's free of foreign objects.
3. Set the switch to OFF (O) and plug the mains cable into the suitable 230-volt socket.
4. Flip the switch to ON (I) and set the temperature controller to SMOKE.
5. Observe the spiral conveyor for 1 or 2 minutes to make sure it's turning.
!
WARNING: Never reach into the pellet chamber and never touch the spiral conveyor. Keep fin-
gers, hair, and clothes away from moving parts at all times. Risk of injury!
6. Hold your hand at least 10 cm above the combustion chamber to check whether the ventilator is
working and air is circulating.
!
WARNING: Do not grab into or touch the combustion chamber. Risk of burning!
7. Wait for approx. 1 minute to see whether the ignition rod underneath the spiral conveyor starts to
glow and whether you notice heat developing over the combustion chamber.
!
WARNING: Never touch the ignition rod. Risk of burning!
8. You should first see a temperature indication on the display. If you see anything else, this is an error
code. NOTE: You can find detailed information on the error codes under TROUBLESHOOTING.
9. Set the controller to COOL DOWN. (The ventilator continues to operate for 10 minutes in this
mode.)
10. Fill suitable pellets into the pellet chamber using the funnel.
11. Turn the temperature controller to MAX. The spiral conveyor starts to turn and transport the pellets
into the combustion chamber. The process takes a few minutes.
!
WARNING: Never fill pellets into the combustion chamber by hand. Risk of burning!
12. As soon as you hear the first pellets entering the combustion chamber, set the controller to COOL
DOWN.
13. Set the controller to SMOKE. Wait for the pellets to ignite and for white-grey smoke to form. Set the
controller to COOL DOWN and let the smoker cool.
BURNING - IN THE SMOKER
The smoker must be burned-in before preparing food for the first time. This process is necessary to re-
move any production residues.
1.
Place the grids, grease removal sheet, and heat conduction sheet back into the appliance. Open the
lid and turn the controller to SMOKE.
2. As soon as white-grey smoke starts to billow from the smoker, close the lid and set the temperature
controller to MAX.
3. Let the smoker operate on this setting for 45 minutes. Afterwards, it is ready for use.
