TROUBLESHOOTING

SOLUTION
Ensure unit is plugged into a working power source. Reset breaker. Ensure GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp
service (see Electric Wire Diagram for access to electric components) Ensure all wire connections are
firmly connected and dry.
Remove the hopper safety screen and control board cover from the hopper (see Electric Wire
Diagram for diagram), press in plastic tabs holding the control board in place and carefully pull
controller outside the hopper to release controller. Check the fuse for a broken wire or if the wire has
turned black. If yes, fuse needs to be manually replaced.
Remove the hopper safety screen and control board cover from the hopper (see Electric Wire Diagram ),
and ensure all wire connections are firmly connected and dry. Ensure GFCI is a minimum 10 amp service.
Control Board needs to be replaced. Contact Customer Care for a replacement part.
Before the unit is used for the first time or anytime the hopper is completely emptied out, the auger
must be primed to allow pellets to fill the auger tube. If not primed, the ignitor will timeout before
the pellets reach the fire pot. Follow Hopper Priming Procedure .
Remove cooking components from the main cabinet. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on and
inspect the auger feed system. Call Customer Care for assistance or a replacement part.
Remove ash clean-out tray. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on and inspect the ignitor. Confirm
that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the feed system and feeling for heat. If not
operating properly, call Customer Care for assistance or a replacement part.
Follow care and maintenance instructions.
Grill probe needs to be replaced. Contact Customer Care.
Check fire pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions for ash
build-up. Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked. Follow Care and
Maintenance instructions if dirty. Check auger motor to confirm operation, and ensure there is no
blockage in the auger tube. Once all the above steps have been done, start the grill, set temperature
to SMOKE and wait for 10 minutes. Check that the flame produced is bright and vibrant.
Check hopper to check that fuel level is sufficient, and replenish if low. Should the quality of wood
pellets be poor, or the length of the pellets too long, this may cause an obstruction in the feed system.
Remove pellets and follow Care and Maintenance instructions.
Check status of grill probe. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions if dirty. Contact Customer Care
for a replacement part if damaged.
