HOPPER PRIMING PROCEDURE

These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited, and each time the grill runs out of pellets in the hopper. The auger
must be primed to allow pellets to travel through the length of the auger, and fill the fire pot. If not primed, the igniter will timeout
before the pellets are ignited, and no fire will start. Follow these steps to prime the hopper:
1. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or blocking the auger feed system at the bottom.
2. Remove all cooking components from the interior of the grill. Locate the fire pot in the bottom of the pellet grill.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on, and turn the Temperature Control Dial
to the SMOKE position. Check the following items:
• That you can hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the fire pot and feel for air movement. Do not place your hand
or fingers inside the fire pot. This can cause injury.
• After approximately a minute, you should smell the igniter burning and begin to feel the air getting warmer in the fire pot.
The igniter tip does not glow red, but gets extremely hot and will burn. Do not touch the igniter.
4. Once verified that all electric components are working correctly, press and hold the Power Button for 2 seconds to turn the unit off.
5. Fill the hopper with all natural barbecue wood pellets.
6. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Keep the Temperature Control Dial in the SMOKE position. Press and hold the
Prime Button until you see pellets on the inside of the grill from the auger tube. Once pellets begin to drop into the fire pot,
release the Prime Button.
7. Press and hold the Power Button for 2 seconds to turn the unit off.
8. Re-install the cooking components into the main barrel. The grill is now ready to use.
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.

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.
