Automatic Start-Up Procedure; Manual Start-Up Procedure; Shutting Off Your Smoker - Louisiana Grills 60815 Assembly And Operation Manual

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the burn grate 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.
2. With the barrel lid closed, turn the unit on by pressing the Power Button. This will activate the start-up cycle : the feed
system will begin to turn, the fan will start, and the igniter will begin to get hot. The grill will produce smoke while the
start-up cycle is taking place. The pellets will have successfully ignited once the smoke has cleared. The start-up cycle
lasts until the appliance reaches an minimum temperature of 65°C / 150°F or the igniter times out (10 minutes).
3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete. Set your desired temperature to start grilling!
NOTE: When reducing your temperature, open the grill lid until the ACTUAL temperature is relatively close to your
desired temperature.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grills flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps, or
start your grill using the manual method.
1. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from inside the main barrel. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from
the burn grate, and return into correct positioning. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may be extremely hot.
2. Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for heat.
• Visually confirm that the igniter is aligned with the hole in the burn grate, and open to light the pellets.
• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn grate.
• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for airflow.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .

MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. 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.
2. Open the main barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn grate. Check the burn grate to ensure there
is no obstruction for proper ignition and that it is positioned properly. Place two (2) generous handfuls of pellets into the
burn grate. 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.
IMPORTANT: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your
grill. Also, do not attempt to add more fire starter into a fire that is already burning or into a hot burn grate.
This may cause injury.
3. Light the contents of the burn grate 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 burn grate. This can cause injury.
4. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the grill, and close the grill lid. Continue start-up t
step two of Automatic Start-Up Procedure .
SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
