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!
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grill's flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps, or
start your grill using the manual method.
1. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is off and in the OFF position. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components
from inside. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the burn pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may
be extremely hot.
2. Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Turn the Temperature
Control Dial in the SMOKE position. Check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn pot and feeling for heat.
• Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the burn pot.
• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn pot.
• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for a torchy roar.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the OFF position. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
2. Check burn 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 hopper with dry, all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
3. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn pot. Place a generous handful of pellets into
the burn pot. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount of
solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or hardwood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another
small amount of pellets in the burn pot.
NOTE: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid, or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
4. Light the contents of the burn pot using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not attempt to add more starter into the burn pot. This can cause injury.
5. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the main barrel. Continue start-up at step two of
Automatic Start-Up Procedure .

SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL

When finished cooking, with the main barrel lid remaining closed, press the Power Button to turn the unit off and turn the
Temperature Control Dial to OFF. 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.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect unit from power source when not in use.
Any Pit Boss unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your grill:
1. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
• The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of cleaning and change out
of pellet fuel flavors. To empty, locate the plate and the cover of the drop chute on
the back side of the hopper. Place a clean, empty pail under the drop chute cover, then
remove the cover piece. Unscrew the plate, slide outwards, and pellets will empty.
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or Wet/Dry Vacuum to remove excess pellets,
sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out through the hopper screen.
• Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if your grill will be unused for an extended period
of time. This can be done by simply running your grill, on an empty hopper, until all pellets have emptied from the
auger tube.
