The Grill Probe measures the internal temperature of the smoker.
When the Target temperature is adjusted, the Grill Probe will read
the Actual temperature inside the smoke cabinet and adjust to the
desired Target temperature. To adjust the desired Target tempera-
ture of the grill, follow the steps below:
1.
Press the Controller Knob. The Target temperature will blink to
show it is active. (A)
2.
Turn the Controller Knob to change the Target temperature value
to your desired temperature. (B)
3.
Once the desired Target temperature is reached, lock it in by
pressing the Controller Knob (C). The Temperature Readout will
return back to the Actual Temperature.
A meat probe measures the internal temperature of a cut of meat.
Plug-in the meat probe adapter to the meat probe connection port
and ensure it is inserted all the way into the plug. You will feel and
hear it snap in place. Insert the stainless-steel meat probe into the
thickest portion of the meat, and the internal temperature is shown
on the display screen of the Control Board.
First time using your grill or whenever your grill runs out of pellets in the hopper, you will need to prime the auger. If not
primed, the grill will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the auger:
1.
Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system.
2.
Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the burn pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.
3.
Plug the power cord into a power source.
4.
Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will initiate the start-up cycle.
•
Check to make sure you hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the burn pot and feel for air movement.
DO NOT place your hands or fingers inside the burn pot, this can cause injury.
•
After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer
above the burn pot. The igniter tip does not glow red but will get extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch
the igniter.
5.
Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the grill off.
6.
Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
7.
Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will initiate the start-up cycle.
8. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets drop from the auger into the burn pot. Now you can release
the Prime Button.
9.
You now can turn your grill off. Please make sure you allow your grill to stay plugged in until it finishes the cool down
cycle. Once the fan turns off, the grill has completed the shutdown cycle and it is safe to unplug your grill.
10. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel.
11. Your grill is now primed and ready to use! If this is the first use of the grill, proceed with a grill burn-off.
