Understanding The Digital Control Center - Louisiana Grills LG860C Manual

UNDERSTANDING THE DIGITAL CONTROL CENTER

This P.I.D. (proportional-integral-derivative) control is very much the same as the controls on your kitchen oven. The main
advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the different ambient conditions and fuel types.
IMPORTANT: The temperature inside of any grill will vary greatly from location to location. Even instruments calibrated
together may not agree with each other.
CONTROL DESCRIPTION
Press the Power Button to power on the unit, which begins the automatic start-up cycle. Also used
to turn the unit off, activating the cool-down cycle.
Press and hold the Prime Button to activate an extra feed of pellets to the burn grate. This can be
used to add more fuel to the fire before opening the barrel lid, resulting in a quick heat recovery
time. It can also be used while smoking, to increase the intensity of clean smoke flavor. Requested
from competition cookers.
The Temperature Adjust Arrows allow you to set your desired smoking temperature. By pressing
the UP or DOWN arrows, the temperature displayed on the LED read-out can be adjusted by 5
degree increments. The temperature can be set to a low 82°C / 180°F, and peaks at a high of 315°C
/600°F. Also used to adjust the desired temperature of the meat probe.
The LED Screen is used as the information center for your unit. The LED screen will display your
Desired Cook Temperature (Setpoint), Actual Cook Temperature, Meat Probe Temperature (if
connected), and any error messages. Temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Press the Temp Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the ACTUAL temperature or the
SETPOINT temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to
indicate which temperature is presently being displayed.
Press the Probe Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the GRILL temperature or the MEAT
probe temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to indicate
which probe temperature is presently being displayed.
The plug-in connection port on the front of the Digital Control Center is for a Meat
Probe. When the meat probe is connected, the temperature is displayed on the
LED Screen. When not in use, disconnect the meat probe from the connection port.
Includes one (1) meat probe. Compatible with Louisiana Grills branded meat probes
only.
