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 grill for the first time.
NOTE: If this is the very first time starting your SMOKEFIRE grill, WEBER
recommends that you season your grill at 450°F (230ºC) for at least 30 to 40
minutes with the grill lid closed.
Please follow these steps the very first time you ignite your grill:
1. Make sure the hopper is filled with your choice of WEBER ALL NATURAL
HARDWOOD PELLETS (A).
2. Open the grill lid.
3. Using the dial on the controller, select 450°F (230ºC), 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 grill lid and let the grill run for at
least 30 to 40 minutes to season your grill (C).
5. When the grill has been seasoned, open the grill lid and clean the
cooking grates using a grill brush or wood scraper (D) , then close the
grill lid.
6. Push and hold the dial to shutdown your grill. Alternatively, you can push
the main menu button . Using the dial on the controller, scroll through
the main menu and push to select "Shutdown".
7. Once your grill has completed a proper shut down and completely cooled,
power off the grill and unplug from the power source.
WARNING: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE GRILL IS COMPLETELY COOLED
AND UNPLUGGED FROM A POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
MAINTENANCE OR CLEANING.
8. Remove internal grill components and clean your cookbox by pushing
the ash into the ash and grease system drawer with the provided WEBER
scraper. Follow the "RECOMMENDED CLEANING" section at the rear of this
Owner's Guide for additional tips.
9. Now that your grill is cleaned and all internal grill components are
properly reinstalled, you can start cooking, connect food temperature
probes, start a timer, or select a cook program from the WEBER
CONNECT app.

Every Time You Cook

the selected temperature (C).
