dark on the devices menu, check your wireless connection or power source.

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. Press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds to turn the unit on and initiate the start-up cycle.
• 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 30 seconds, 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, press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds turn the
grill off.
6. Fill the hopper with all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
7. Press and hold the Power Button for 3 seconds to turn the unit on, and navigate to Menu for the priming options.
8. Select the 5 second option, and repeat this option until you see pellets drop from the auger into the burn pot.
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 use of the grill, proceed with a grill burn-off.
FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once the auger has been primed and before cooking on the grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off to
burn-off the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.
1. Follow Automatic Start-up instructions to turn the unit on.
2. Operate the grill at any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes.
3. Follow Shut-down instructions to turn the unit off, or proceed with grilling at your desired temperature.
AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Confirm the auger is primed. If not, prime the auger.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
3. Open the hopper lid to check your level of pellets. Refill with all natural barbecue hardwood pellets if needed.
4. Check the buckle latch on the bottom of the main barrel to ensure it is fastened (locked) to secure the burn pot.
5. Open the grill lid. Press and hold the Power Button for three seconds to turn the unit on. This will activate the start-up
cycle. The auger feed system will begin to turn, the igniter will begin to glow and the fan will supply air to the burn pot.
The lid must remain open during the start-up cycle. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking
place. To confirm the start-up cycle has begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some heat being produced.
6. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete. Close the grill lid. Set the desired temperature
and start grilling!
