Manual Start Up - Pit Boss PB340 Owner's Manual

IF FOR ANY REASON YOUR ELECTRIC IGNITER FAILS, YOU CAN START YOUR GRILL
USING THIS MANUAL METHOD.
NOTE:
Always clean or check your burn pot before each use. This will ensure proper ignition, heat output and many
continuous happy grilling experiences
1. Ensure the Temperature Dial is in the "OFF" position.
2. Plug the POWER CORD into a 110V grounded outlet. DO NOT break the ground end off the cord or use
a non-grounded outlet or extension cord.
NOTE: When plugged into a GFI, ensure it is at least 15 amps.
Lower quality GFI's may trip, try plugging appliance into a surge protected power bar first.
3. OPEN the HOPPER LID. Ensure there are NO foreign objects in the hopper or Auger feed system.
Fill hopper with dry all natural flavored wood pellets.
4. Remove the COOKING GRIDS, GREASE TRAY and FLAME DIFFUSER to expose the BURN POT.
5. Place a generous handful of pellets into the BURN POT.
6. Squirt gelled fire starter, or other approved pellet starter, over the top of the pellets or add a small
amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax or use wood shavings.
Add a small amount of pellets over the fire starter.
7. Light the starter using a long fireplace match or long lighter.
WARNING:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO ADD MORE STARTER INTO A FIRE THAT IS ALREADY BURNING OR
INTO A HOT BURNGRATE. YOU COULD EXPERIENCE A BURN BACK AND YOU COULD GET
SERIOUSLY BURNT.
8. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
9. Quickly and carefully replace the FLAVOR / GREASE PLATE and COOKING GRIDS.
10. Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE.
This activates the start up cycle. The feed system will start to turn, and the fan will supply air to the fire
pot. Your grill will begin to produce smoke while the start up cycle is taking place.
11. Turn the Temperature Dial to HIGH, to allow the unit to preheat for approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LATERN
FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID, OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN-UP
THE FIRE! KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM THE GRILL WHILE IT IS IN USE.
