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 Burn 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 Burn Pot in the bottom of the main barrel.
3. Plug the power cord into a power source. Press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Check the following items:
• That you can hear the auger turning. Place your hand above the Burn Pot and feel for air movement. Do not place
your hand or fingers inside the Burn 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
Burn 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 three 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. 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 Burn Pot, release the Prime Button.
7. Press and hold the Power Button for three 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.
