Operating Tips - HomComfort Smartfire PG-30 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

• When the grill is plugged in, the control board will fl ash through a sequence of letters and numbers before going to a blank display screen.
• When you turn the grill "ON" the Mode in which the grill is in fl ashes for 15 minutes, until startup sequence is fi nished.
• Grill operating temperatures are 180° F to 500° F.
• When grill is fi rst turned "ON", the control board will go to 350°, on fi rst ignition. If grill has been used, the control board will go to the last setting used.
• Smoke mode is from 180° to 295°. The combustion blower does pulsate during "Smoke Mode" but only after startup mode is reached (the blower
does not pulsate for fi rst 15 min of operation). The concentration of smoke will vary depending on the temperature selected. You will notice a
higher concentration of smoke at lower settings than when operating at higher temperatures for smoke mode.
• Combustion blower is on constant during "Cook" Mode and does not vary in speed.
• If you turn the grill off during "Startup" Mode, everything shuts off without a shutdown sequence.
• If the fl ame plate is installed improperly, a burn back may occur due to the airfl ow restrictions at the burnpot.
• The Searing Station control is operable from the toggle switch only. Only turn on the searing station for the needed time of use. Make sure to turn the
searing station off when not in use.
• It is not recommend using the Searing Station during your general cooking needs, as it can interfere with the temperature sensor. Only use the
searing station to quickly sear your food and then turn it off. The searing station takes approximately 5 minutes to reach a searing temperature
during use in the grill "Cook" settings.
• If you are in "Cook" mode and change to "Smoke" mode, the temperature will automatically go to 295°.
• If you are in "Smoke" mode and change to "Cook" mode, the temperature will automatically go to 300°.
• Temperature control doesn't begin to read and control feed rate for 15 minutes, due to the 15 minute start up sequence.
• Make sure to unplug your grill only after it has gone through the shutdown sequence, cooled off, and is not in use.
• DO NOT unplug your grill during use or to shorten the shutdown sequence.
