GETTING STARTED
Starting your Grill
Before cooking on your grill for the first time, we recommend that you allow the grill to "cure."
The process of curing the grill will allow any paint and oils from the manufacturing process to
burn off. Add pellets to the hopper, then close and latch the lid. (The grill will not feed pellets
with the hopper lid open.) Plug the power cord into a GFCI outlet. Press the ON button on the
control board, and use the heat range arrow to select the desired cooking temperature. We
recommend firing your grill to 450F and running the grill for at least 30 minutes with the front
doors closed. After running the grill for at least 30 minutes, press the OFF button and allow the
grill and the inside grates to cool. Once the grates have cooled, remove them, wash with hot
soapy water and rinse them thoroughly. Wipe the grates down (or allow them to air dry) and
place them back into the stove. You are now ready to cook on your grill.
DAILY OPERATION: During subsequent start ups after the first fire, it is recommended that you
open both doors for at least five minutes during start up to allow the initial smoke to dissipate
quicker. Once the grill has started, close both doors and then allow the grill to reach the
temperature that was selected before cooking. Until the grill has ignited, you will see the lights
under "Igniter" and "Auger" illuminating. Once the grill has ignited and the igniter has turned
off, the red light will no longer illuminate under the "Igniter" display. The "Auger" light will
illuminate green every time the auger is running during a cycle. As mentioned in the "Cooking
and Food Safety Tips" section, use cooking oils on the cast grate to prevent food sticking,
especially during the first few times you use your grill.
Manual Start‐up
In the event your igniter should fail, you may start your grill manually.
Remove the cast iron grate and flame deflector (on the left, "direct" side). Check to be sure the
burn pot is free and clear of any ash or debris. Place a small handful of pellets in the bottom of
the burn pot. We recommend adding a small amount of pellet starter gel, then using a match,
lighter or propane torch to start the fire. Once the fire has started to burn, use heat resistant
gloves or oven mitts to put the flame defector and cast iron grate back in place, close the front
doors and press the ON button. Select the desired temperature and the grill will begin to feed
pellets normally.
Shut‐Down
When you are finished using your grill you may press the OFF button on the control board. The
board will then display "SHD" for shutdown. This will cause the auger to stop feeding pellets,
and the combustion blower will continue to run for a period of 5 minutes. This will help the
remaining fuel in the burn pot to extinguish and burn out. This process will also help keep the
burn pot cleaner between uses. Open your doors to allow the heat to dissipate during
shutdown. Make sure the grill is cool before covering.
