DIAL POSITIONS
SHUTDOWN
This setting must be used after each use. Turn the dial

before turning off. This setting will burn up any extra pellets
in the burner and cool down the grill. Do not turn the main
power switch off when the grill is hot.
FEED - This setting is used to feed pellets to the burner. It
will be used the first time you use the grill to fill the auger
tube and any time you may inadvertently run the hopper out
of pellets. See instructions on filling the auger tube.
LOW SMOKE - This setting is used for smoking foods at an
average temperature of 160F. This setting will produce large
amounts of smoke.

BREAKING IN THE GRILL
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour before
cooking on the grill for the first time. This will burn off any
manufacturing oils and cure the paint. Make sure to follow
the instructions for filling the auger tube before breaking in
the grill.
Always start the grill with the lid open. The lid must be
closed after the start cycle.
COOKING
Once the auger tube has been properly filled you can begin
cooking by selecting any of the cooking temperatures. The
grill has 13 cook settings. Low Smoke, High Smoke, 175,
200, 225, 250, 275, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, and High.
By selecting any of these the grill will go into the Startup
mode. The digital readout will display "START" for 8 minutes
during the startup cycle. After the 8 minutes the digital
