FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once your hopper has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off.
Start the grill and operate at any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill
and rid it of any foreign matter.
AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the fire pot 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.
2. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will activate the start-up cycle. The auger feed system will begin to turn,
the ignitor will begin to glow and the fan will supply air to the fire pot. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the
start-up cycle is taking place. The barrel lid must remain open during the start-up cycle. To confirm the start-up cycle has
begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some heat being produced.
3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete and you are ready to enjoy your grill at your
desired temperature!
SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
1.
When finished cooking, with the main barrel lid remaining closed, press and hold the the Power Button for three seconds
to Power-down the unit. The grill will begin its automatic cool-down cycle. The auger system will stop feeding fuel, the
flame will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until the cool-down cycle is complete.
