TURNING OFF THE GRILL
ATTENTION: Do not immediately disconnect the power!
The automatic shutdown procedure allows the flames to burn out naturally. Once the shutdown procedure
starts, the controller begins a 10-minute countdown timer. The display will show "10" and the fan will continue
to run. When the procedure is completed, the fan will stop, and controller will display "OFF".
Use this procedure to properly turn off your grill after each use.
1. Turn the control knob to "OFF". The controller will begin its shutdown procedure to cool down the grill.
2. Open the lid, remove all meat probes and food. Leave the grill lid open until the shutdown procedure is complete;
"OFF" will be displayed on the controller screen.
3. When "OFF" is on the controlled display, close the grill lid and unplug the power cord.
FIRST TIME USE
Before initial use, it is recommended to cure the grill to remove manufacturing oils or paint
residue and minimize smoke odors to unnatural flavors from being added to food.
1. Follow "BEFORE FIRST USE" procedure to ensure the grill safe operation.
2. Follow "LIGHTING YOUR GRILL - AUTOMATICALLY" section on the previous page to light up the grill.

the temperature is close to the desired setting.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

The pellet grill has 2 modes to control the pellet feeding speed. These are designated as the Cook Mode and the Smoke
Mode. The Cook Mode is for grilling or low cooking methods, while the Smoke Mode is for smoking and adding flavor to
food being prepared.
Cook Mode
After the grill is properly lit, turn the control knob to the desired cooking temperature. The grill will automatically
maintain the set temperature by adding pellet fuel to the fire pot when need by monitoring the internal grill
temperature. Therefore, it is important to keep the grill lid closed for the grill to function properly
