SUBSEQUENT START-UP

Set the control knob to "Smoke" with the lid open. Around 3 minutes, smoke will come out from
the grill once the pellets are ignited. Then turn the control knob to any desired setting with lid
closed. We advise to preheat your grill for 15 minutes with lid closed before placing any food in
your grill.
If at any times, your grill fails to ignite the pellets in the firepot while cooking or smoking, when
abundant pellets are still in the pellet hopper, it is very important to follow below steps. Failure to
do, may cause a hazardous "over-firing" of your grill due to excess of unburned pellets in the
firepot.
1) Turn the power switch to "OFF" position and plug off the power cord. If the grill is still hot,
allow it to completely cool. Open the lid and take out all food, the cooking grate, grease drip
tray and flame tamer.
2) Remove all unburned wood pellets and ash from inside and around the firepot.
3) Before relocating the cooking grate, grease drip tray and flame tamer back into the grill, plug
the power cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and restart your grill. Pellets
should fall into the firepot and the hot rob begins to produce heat.
4) If above procedures are successful, you will soon see the flames coming out from the firepot.
Then set the control knob to "Cool Down Cycle" and let your grill cool down. Place the
cooking grate, grease drip tray and flame tamer back to their proper positions. Set the
control knob to "Smoke" with the lid open. In around 3 minutes, you will notice smoke
coming out from your grill. After assuring the pellets are ignited, close the lid and turn the
control knob to any cooking desired setting.
Control Shut Down Cycle
Your pellet grill is designed with an automatic shut down cycle. When finished cooking, turn the
control knob to "Cool Down Cycle" which will leave the draft inducer fan staying on for 10
minutes to burn any excess pellets in the firepot. After the fan operates for 10 minutes, the
controller and fan will shut off automatically.
IF GRILL FAILS TO IGNITE:
1. Turn the control knob to the "Cool Down Cycle" position and turn the power switch OFF.
2. Wear the protective gloves and make sure all the components are cool to touch. Open the lid,
remove the cooking grates, grease drip tray and flame tamer.
3. Remove all unburned pellets and ash from the firepot.
4. When all cleaned, turn the control knob to the "Smoke" position. Check the following:
a. Check the hot rod working or not by checking if the hot rod should turn a light red slowly in
around 1-2 minutes. DO NOT touch the hot rod.
b. Visually confirm the hot rod is protruding approx. 1/2" into the burn pot.
c. Visually confirm pellets are dropping in the firepot from auger.
d. Confirm the draft inducer fan is working by holding your fingers above the firepot to feel
the blowing air through the firepot.
5. If one or all of the above are not working, see the trouble shooting section or contact
customer service.
