POWER & PREPERATION
HOOKING UP TO POWER
NOTE: Before plugging your pellet grill into any electrical outlet, ensure the Temperature Dial is in the
"STAND BY" position and Power Switch to the "OFF" position.
AT HOME
This appliance requires 110-120V, 60Hz, 5 amp service. It must be a 3 prong grounded plug.
The control uses a 5 amp 120 Volt Fast-Blow fuse to protect the board from the igniter.
GFI Outlets
This appliance will work on most GFI outlets. With a recommended size of 15 amp.
If your GFI outlet is highly sensitive to power surges, it will likely trip during the ignition phase of
operation. During the ignition phase, the igniter is drawing 300—700 watts of electricity which
can be too much power for a GFI outlet to handle. The quality of the GFI does not matter, but
rather the sensitivity. Each time a GFI trips it does increase in sensitivity.
Solution:
1. Install a new GFI outlet.
2. Plug the appliance into a non-GFI outlet.
GRILL PREPERATION
INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS:
These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited and each time the grill runs
out of pellets.
STEP 1: Remove Cooking Grids and Flame Broiler from the interior of the grill.
STEP 2: Open the Pellet Hopper Lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the Auger or Hopper.
STEP 3: With the Temperature Dial in the "STAND BY" position and Power Switch to "OFF" position, plug the
power cord into a grounded outlet.
STEP 4: Open the main lid. Turn the Temperature Dial to the SMOKE position.
Check the following items:
A. That the Auger is turning.
DO NOT place fingers or objects in the Auger Tube. This can cause injury.
B. Place your hand OVER the Fire Pot and feel for air movement.
DO NOT place your hand in the Fire Pot. This can cause serious injury.
C. Wait approximately 1 minute. You should smell the igniter burn off and start to feel the warmer.
The igniter tip DOES NOT glow red hot.
DO NOT touch the Igniter. This item gets extremely HOT and will burn.
STEP 5: Turn the Temperature Dial to OFF.
STEP 6: Fill the Pellet Hopper with all natural BBQ pellets.
STEP 7: Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. Allow the pellets to come to full flame. Once flames are coming
out of the Fire Pot, turn the Dial to OFF, and let the grill cool down.
STEP 8: After grill has cooled, re-install the Flame Broiler and Cooking Grids into grill.
