Operating Tips - USSC USG730SS Owner’s Instruction And Operation Manual

screen.
• When the grill is turned on, there will be three flashing
lights found between the numbers of the display. The
three lights will continue to flash until the grill reaches
180°F, then the startup sequence will be finished.
• Grill operating temperatures are 180°F to 500°F.
• When the grill is first turned on, the control board will
go to 350°F on the first ignition. If the grill has been
used, the control board will go to the last setting used.
• "Smoke" mode ranges from 180°F to 230°F. The
concentration of smoke will vary depending on
the temperature selected. There will be a higher
concentration of smoke at lower settings than there
is when operating at higher temperatures for "Smoke"
mode.
• The combustion blower is on constantly during "Cook"
mode and does not vary in speed.
• If the grill is turned off during "Startup" mode,
everything shuts off without a shutdown sequence.
• If the flame plate is installed improperly, a burn back
may occur due to the airflow restrictions at the burn
pot.
• If the grill is in "Cook" mode and change to "Smoke"
mode, the temperature will automatically go to 180°F.
• If the grill is in "Smoke" mode and change to "Cook"
mode, the temperature will automatically go to 450°F.
• Temperature control doesn't begin to control the feed
rate for 15 minutes, due to the 15-minute start-up
sequence.
• Make sure to unplug the grill only after it has gone
through the shutdown sequence, cooled off, and is not
in use.
• DO NOT unplug the grill during use or to shorten the
shutdown sequence.

OPERATING TIPS

SEARING STATION
• The searing station control is operable from the toggle
switch only (found next to the display board). Only turn
on the searing station for the needed time of use. Make
sure to turn the searing station off when not in use. The
searing station will function even if the grill is not in
operation. Always unplug the grill when not in use.
• Using the searing station during general cooking
needs is not recommended, as it can interfere with the
temperature sensor. Only use the searing station to
quickly sear the food and then turn it off. The searing
station takes approximately 5 minutes to reach a
searing temperature during use in the "Cook" settings.
MEAT PROBE
The grills meat probe will track the temperature of the
food as it cooks without having open the grill lid several
times to test the food with an instant-read thermometer.
The correct placement of the meat probe is especially
important when cooking at a higher heat as opposed to
low and slow; because there is such a large difference
within just one inch of space in the food. When inserting
the meat probe, avoid the bone because it will give
inaccurate readings. After inserting the probe, make sure
it is secured into place. As the thermometer nears its
target temperature, spot-check other areas to see if they
are also close. Be careful, the meat probe and its wires
are hot.
To use the meat probe, first follow the startup
instructions in this manual. Bring the grill up to the
desired temperature. Once preheating is complete, place
the meat onto the grill surface with the probe inserted
into the best section of meat. Plug the meat probe into
the display panel and push the "Display" button until
both the "Actual" and "Setpoint" lights are not lit. The
temperature shown on the display will be the internal
meat temperature. Using the meat probe will prevent
the need of opening and checking the internal meat
temperature, therefore preserving heat and pellet usage.
