UNDERSTANDING THE "P" SETTING

When the recessed "P" SET button is pushed, the "P" setting displayed on the LCD
screen will change to the next value (upward). Once P7 is reached, it will restart at P0.
There are eight "P" settings, ranging from P0 to P7. The recessed "P" SET button can
be pushed using a thin-tipped object.
IMPORTANT: Do not push the "P" SET button too hard, as this may cause
damage. Only a light push is needed.
• USING THE "P" SETTING IN SMOKE MODE
Anytime the temperature dial is set to SMOKE, such as the start-up cycle, the
auger will run on more of a manual mode of cooking versus using one of the
preset dial temperatures. First, the auger will continuously turn and feed pellets
for four minutes. After four minutes, the auger begins to run a feed cycle based
on the "P' setting selected on the Digital Control Board. The default setting is P4.

AUGER PRIMING PROCEDURE

First time using your grill or whenever your grill runs out of pellets in the hopper, you will need to prime the auger. If not primed,
the grill will timeout before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the auger:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the burn pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source.
4. Turn on the grill and turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
• Check to make sure you hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the burn pot and feel for air movement. DO
NOT place your hands or fingers inside the burn pot, this can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer above the
burn pot. The igniter tip does not glow red but will get extremely hot and will burn. DO NOT touch the igniter.
5. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, turn the grill off.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
7. Turn the grill on. Keep the Temperature Control Dial in the Smoke (S) or Low (L) position.
8. Press and hold the Prime Button until you see pellets drop from the auger into the burn pot. Now you can release the Prime
Button.
9. You now can turn your grill off. Please make sure you allow your grill to stay plugged in until it finishes the cool down cycle.
Once the fan turns off, the grill has completed the shutdown cycle, it is safe to unplug your grill.
10. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel.
11. Your grill is now primed and ready to use! If this is the first time you are using your grill, you should perform a First Initial
Grill Burn-off.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once your hopper has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off.
Start the grill and operate at any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill
and rid it of any foreign matter.

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the burn pot to ensure there is no
obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed
system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.
2. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE position. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will
activate the start-up cycle. The auger feed system will begin to turn, the igniter will light and the fan will supply air to
the burn pot. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The barrel lid must remain
open during the start-up cycle. To confirm the start-up cycle has begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some
heat being produced.
