Initial Lighting Instructions

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS THE FIRST TIME YOU LIGHT THE GRILL
AND WHENEVER IT RUNS OUT OF PELLETS.

LIGHTING THE GRILL

Open the lid and remove the cooking grate, grease deflector and heat diffuser from the inside of the grill.
Make sure the power switch on the controller is in the OFF position. Plug the power cord into an appropriate
grounded electrical outlet.
Open the pellet hopper lid and locate the auger. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the auger then
turn the power switch to ON. Look into the pellet hopper to confirm that the auger is turning. At the same
time, place your fingers over the crucible and feel for the air movement from the intake fan. WITHOUT
TOUCHING IT, LOOK TO SEE IF THE ELEMENT IS GETTING HOT. Turn the power switch to OFF.
Fill the pellet hopper with premium 100% hardwood BBQ pellets. Never use heating fuel wood pellets for
cooking. WARNING: DO NOT USE HEATING FUEL PELLETS AS THEY MAY CONTAIN HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
Turn the power switch to ON and the temperature dial to HIGH. When the pellets begin to fall into the crucible
turn the power switch to OFF. Note: This may take some time during the initial priming of the auger.
Turn the power switch to ON and the temperature dial to SMOKE. Let the pellets come to full flame. Once
flames are coming out of the crucible turn the power switch to OFF and let the grill cool.
Recommendation: For ease of clean-up, cover the grease defelector with heavy-duty aluminum foil. Be sure
the edges and ends of the foil are tight against the bottom of the grease deflector. Position the heat diffuser,
grease deflector and cooking grate in their proper locations.
SEASON THE GRILL
With the lid open, turn the power switch to ON and the temperature dial to SMOKE. In about two minutes
whitish-gray smoke will come out of the grill as the pellets ignite. Close the lid and set the temperature dial
to HIGH.
Run the grill on HIGH for 45 minutes with the lid closed. This seasons the grill and must be done before any
food is cooked on it.
