FIRST TIME START UP

Follow these instructions for setup and proper use of your Rid-
er Pellet Grill.
1. INSPECTION – This is a quick check to make sure your
grill's components are working properly. Be sure to observe
only and not touch the auger, ignitor, or fans.
1. Remove warming racks, center grate and baffles.
2. Plug the grill into a GFCI protected outlet and power
the grill on using the power switch on the Pit Control
panel.
a. Look in the hopper to ensure that the auger is
clear.
b. Turn the control knob to the LOW grill setting,
and press knob. Allow to run for 3 minutes:
c. Look into hopper to confirm that the auger is
turning.
d. Listen for the blower fan. You should also be
able to feel air moving out of the firepot.
e. Look to see that the ignitor is glowing red inside
the firepot. Allow up to 5 minutes.
f. Make sure the ash cup is tightly screwed on.
3. Press and hold shutdown button for 3 seconds.
2. SEASONING - Seasoning your smoker before cooking will
burn off any manufacturing residues, protect your grill surfac-
es, and create the beginning of a cooked-in surface treatment
that will add to the flavor of your smoked meats, cook after
cook.
a. Load Quickdraw hopper with pellets
b. Close lid and shift heat baffle to sear mode.
c. Turn the control knob to the LOW grilling setting and
press knob
d. Make sure your pellets are igniting:
i. Wait for preheat cycle to complete - you'll see the
letters PRE on the display change to an actual
temp reading when finished.
ii. Look for smoke exiting the exhaust stacks and
watch for the temp to rise.
e. Run for 30 minutes.
f. When complete, run the Shutdown process explained
below.
g. Now you're ready to cook!
3. SHUTDOWN CYCLE - Use this technique to properly shut-
down your grill after each use.
a. Once you are finished cooking, press and hold the
shutdown button for 3 seconds, the Shutdown pro-
cess will start by flashing the message "DRN HOP"
on the Pit Control screen, indicating that it's time to
drain the remaining pellets in the QuickDraw hopper
into your pellet storage bucket.
b. Next, the Pit Control screen will flash the message
"SHd", indicating that it has begun the Shutdown
Burn and cooling process. The grill will then burn
through the pellets remaining in the auger tube and
fire pot, cleaning the system for next use. This pro-
cess will take about 30 mins total and have the add-
ed benefit of running a high temp burn off, cleaning
the heat baffles.
c. The grill will automatically power off when the pro-
cess is complete. Once it's cool, you can unplug the
grill and store for your next cook out
4. SUBSEQUENT START UPS – After a seasoning burn,
startups are a breeze.
a. First, make sure firepot and ash cup are free of ash-
es and pellets
b. Load Quickdraw hopper with pellets
c. Power the grill on using the power switch on the Pit
Control panel.
d. Turn control knob to the desired set temp and press
knob.
e. Allow Preheat cycle to complete.
f. Add food!
g. When finished, always remember to run through the
Shutdown process before powering your grill off.
BURN OFF
If you are doing a lot of low temperature cooking, there
is potential for excess grease to build up on the heat
baffles. To manage that grease build up, run a high heat
Burn Off every couple of smoking sessions. To do a Burn
Off, simply run your pellet grill on the HIGH grilling temp
for 20 minutes after you've finished smoking. The high
temperatures achieved will vaporize grease lingering on
the heat baffles before it builds up to a hazardous level.
