AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Open the main barrel lid. Check the fire 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. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the Off position. Plug the power cord into a grounded
power source.
2. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to Smoke. This will activate the start-up cycle. 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 fire 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.
3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete and you are ready to enjoy your grill at your
desired temperature!
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grill's flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps, or
start your grill using the manual method.
1.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from inside.
Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the fire pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may be extremely hot.
2. Once all parts are removed and cleaned, turn the Temperature Control Dial to Smoke. Check the following:
•
Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the fire pot and feeling for heat.
•
Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the fire pot.
•
Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the fire pot.
•
Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for a torchy roar.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .
MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Ensure the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
2. Check fire 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 hopper with dry, all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
3. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the fire pot. Place a generous handful of pellets into the
fire pot. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount of solid
fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another small
amount of pellets in the fire pot.
NOTE: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
4. Light the contents of the fire pot using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not attempt to add more starter into the fire pot. This can cause injury.
5. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the main barrel. Continue start-up at step two of
Automatic Start-Up Procedure .
