FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF
Once your hopper has been primed and before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-off. Start
the grill and operate at any temperature over 176°C / 350°F (with the lid down) for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-off the grill and rid it of any
foreign matter.
NOTE: During the Startup cycle, make sure the Flame Broiler Slider Knobs are pushed inward and the
vents are closed. This will allow you to reach a higher temperature in the main barrel section.

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the fire pot 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. Ensure the Temperature Control Dial is in the SMOKE position. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. This will
activate the start-up cycle. The auger feed system will begin to turn, the igniter will begin to glow and the fan will supply
air to the fire pot. The grill will begin to produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The barrel lid must remain
open during the start-up cycle. To confirm the start-up cycle has begun properly, listen for a torchy roar, and notice some
heat being produced.
3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete and you are ready to enjoy your grill at your
desired temperature!
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grill's flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps, or
start your grill using the manual method.
1. Press and hold the power button for 3 secs and switch off the grill. Open the grill and let it cool down for few minutes. Remove
the cooking components from inside and all unburnt pellets and ash from the fire pot. Be careful as the pellets may be too hot
even when grill is cool down. 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. Set the temperature knob
to Smoke. Check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the fire pot and feeling for heat.
• Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the fire pot.
• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the fire pot.
• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for a torchy roar.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .
