INITIAL SETUP PROCEDURE
For your first lighting, follow this Initial Setup Procedure .
1 . Open the main lid and remove the cooking grate, drip pan and flame deflector . Make sure all packing material has been removed .
2 . Open the pellet hopper lid found on the left side of your grill and check for any foreign objects .
3 . Plug your Pellet Grill into the nearest 110 Volt-AC GFCI outlet .
Note: If your home does not have a GFCI outlet, you should have one installed by an electrician .
4 . Put no more than 1/2cup of pellets directly into the fire pot to provide fuel to burn while auger tube self-primes .
5 . Pour pellets into your grills pellet hopper .
6 . Wash cooking grate with mild soap and water .
7 . Reinstall the flame deflector, drip pan, cooking grate, and close lid .
Note: If you want to line your drip pan with foil for ease of cleanup, we recommend you do this before your initial burn in . When lining drip pan, keep foil inside drip pan edges and do not wrap around as this can restrict airflow .
8 . Turn on your Pellet Grill by pressing the power button at the left of the panel Set temperature to 400°F by setting the digital control .
9 . Within a few minutes you will see smoke, and your grill will light .
10 . Once the temperature is at 400°F, allow it to run for 1hour, this will provide a final cure and remove any residue that may have accumulated during manufacturing and shipping .
After this initial burn, your Pellet Grill is ready for cooking .
TEMPERATURE PROBE
1 . Plug your temperature probe into the grills controller probe port
2 . Feed probe through the probe port hole on the left side of grill cooking chamber . Insert probe into thickest portion of meat for most accurate reading .
Unplugging probe and cleaning with damp cloth will prolong the life and accuracy of your probe
Reinstalling rubber protector over the connection port connection on controller after each cook will prolong the life and quality of your controller .
DO NOT FULLY SUBMERGE PROBE IN WATER OR WASH IN DISHWASHER

PERFORMANCE TIPS
PREHEATING
It is important to allow your grill to preheat and achieve your desired cooking temperature before cooking . This allows the entire grill to heat up and quickly return to your desired temperature once your food is introduced . If you do not allow the grill to preheat, you will find that it takes a longer period of time to bring both the grill and the food to your desired cooking temperature .
PELLET INFORMATION
Pellets should be stored in a dry area, as wet pellets will swell and turn back into sawdust . For best results, always use premium hardwood pellets in your grill . The use of grades other than premium hardwood pellets may result in temperature variations, uneven cooking, and poor results .
Remem-ber pellets do not contain preservatives and will deteriorate over time . Always Store pellets in a cool dry place . Never load wet pellets into the grill
Caution: Heating fuel pellets for home heating pellet stoves have a high content of softwood which can include glue and should NEVER be used for cooking. Always check with the pellet man-
ufacturer to ensure that you are cooking with a premium 100% hardwood pellet .
LID POSITION
Always cook with the lid closed . Use the meat probe to check the meats temperature . A open lid allows heat to escape and sends false temperature information to the digital control . This will also hinder the natural convection air flow needed to produce the wood smoke and flavor . The open lid will also increase your cook time . Remember “If you are looking you are not cooking” .
OTHER TIPS
• Clean your grill regularly to maintain beauty and proper function . It is advised to clean before any long cook .
• Always use grill on a level surface .
• Clean fire pot regularly . This will ensure proper ignition and proper heating
• Not all pellets are created equal, always use dry and fresh pellets .
• Always store pellets in a dry area .
• Get to know your grill, keep good cooking notes . Practice makes Perfect!
• Always allow your meat to rest before serving . Typically the internal temperature can climb 10 degrees after removing from the grill . This will help make your food more flavorful
• Always keep your cooking area clean . Avoid lifting the grill lid
• Wind can cool your grill temperature .
• Always preheat grill to desired temperature before use .
• Wipe off steel surfaces before preheating; dirt and food stains can cook into surface .
• Always check pellet hopper for debris and remove excess pellet dust as needed . (A Shop-Vac is the preferred method)
• Leave at least one inch of clearance between food for even cooks . (Crowded foods will take longer to cook)
• Foods cooked on pans or in containers will require more time than foods cooked directly on grate .
This also limits the amount of wood smoked flavor .
• Know your food’s internal temp! Use the Temperature Probe
• Use long handled tongs and spatulas for turning meats, do not use plastic Injecting and spritzing are great ways to keep meat from drying out .
• When going low and slow, plan for your meats stall, larger pieces of meat tend to take longer from
160-180ºF degrees . Be patient .
Never unplug your grill to turn it off; for proper shutdown procedure see “Power Button”
• If grill is not used for six weeks or more, it is advised to remove all pellets
• When not in use, unplug and cover with cover .
12
TEMPERATURES
Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it . Any cooked, uncured red meats including pork may be pink even when the meat is done
• Hot foods should be held warmer than 140º F .
• Cold foods should be held below 40º F .
• Perishable food should not be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature - 1 hour when the temperature is above 90º F .
• Always follow food safety guidelines provided by the USDA .
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance task, turn off the grill, unplug the unit, and allow it to cool completely .
• Clean your fire pot every 3-5 cooks to ensure proper airflow .
• Use a grill brush to clean your cooking grate after every cook to provide years of trouble free use from them .
Note: Make sure that no bristles have shed and remain on cooking grate .
• Cover your drip tray with aluminum foil and change it frequently . This is the simplest way to maintain your drip pan . If you have completed a low and slow cook that has caused the accumulation of grease on your foil, you must change the foil before cooking at high temperatures. Failure to do so will most certainly cause a grease fire in your grill.
• Clean the ash from the interior of your grill, fire pot, and hopper every 5-6 bags of pellets . It helps to leave a thin layer of ash on the bottom of the barrel for insulation . (A
Shop-Vac is the ideal tool for this job .) (WARNING–always wait at least 12 hours after cooking to remove ash from your grill.)
• Use a mild soap and water to clean the exterior of your grill . AVOID USING CAUSTIC
CLEANERS .
• If left in exposed area, keep your grill covered and unplugged when not in use .
• Never let your pellets get wet; they will swell and jam your auger .
• If grill will not be in use for 6 weeks or more, cleaning out pellets from your hopper is recommended .
• For a superior cleaning and shine, clean your grills outside surfaces (when completely cooled)and then use automotive wax, per the directions .
TRANSPORT & STORAGE
Ensure that the unit is cool . Remove the grates, drip pan and flame deflector . Make sure no unburnt fuel remains in the fire pot / air chamber .
STORE COVERED IN A DRY, SAFE PLACE
Never store the grill in a small space or place in a vehicle unless completely cool and fire is verified as extinguished .
Never move the grill while it is still hot . Never move the grill without assistance .
13
MANUAL START UP
In case of igniter failure, you can start your grill manually .
1 . Remove the grate, drip pan and flame deflector .
2 . Clean out fire pot and place no more than 1/2 cup of pellets in the bottom . Add a small amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as those made from sawdust and wax wood shavings . (A paper towel, shredded cardboard, or shredded newspaper can work as a substitute .)
Note: If you have a torch lighter, a fire starter is not needed .
3 . Light the fire starter .
4 . After the pellets are burning briskly, turn on your grill . If your fire goes out, repeat steps 1-4 .
5 . If your fire stays lit, replace the stainless flame deflector, drip pan and cooking grate and close the lid . Be careful not to touch the fire .
CAUTION: DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE
LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHAR- COAL 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.
