First Time Startup Procedure

Once all of the setup steps have been followed in the previous section,

BEFORE IGNITING, you can now initiate the startup procedure to preheat your

SMOKEFIRE barbecue for the first time.

NOTE: If this is the very first time starting your SMOKEFIRE barbecue, WEBER

recommends that you season your barbecue on the high temperature setting

(600°F/315ºC)for at least 30 to 40 minutes with the barbecue lid closed.

Please follow these steps the very first time you ignite your barbecue:

1. Make sure the hopper is filled with your choice of WEBER SMOKEFIRE

ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS(A).

2. Open the barbecue lid.

3. Using the dial on the controller, choose the highest temperature available

(600°F/315ºC), and push the dial to select it (B).

NOTE: Do not push and hold the dial as it will begin the shutdown procedure.

4. Once smoke becomes visible, close the barbecue lid and let the barbecue

run for at least 30 to 40 minutes to season your barbecue (C).

5. When the barbecue has been seasoned, open the barbecue lid and clean

the cooking grates using a barbecue brush or wood scraper (D).

6. With the barbecue lid open, push and hold the dial to shutdown your

barbecue. Alternatively, you can push the main menu button

dial on the controller, scroll through the main menu and push to select

"Shutdown".

7. Once your barbecue has completed a proper shut down and completely

cooled, power off the barbecue and unplug from the power source.

WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BARBECUE IS COMPLETELY COOLED

AND UNPLUGGED FROM A POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY

MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.

pushing the ash into the ash and grease system drawer with the

provided WEBER scraper. Follow the "RECOMMENDED CLEANING" section
