SOLUTION
Ensure unit is plugged into a working power source. Reset breaker. Ensure GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp
service (see Electric Wire Diagram for access to electric components) Ensure all wire connections are
firmly connected and dry.
Remove the two screw on the controller on the front of the hopper to access the back of the
controller. Check the fuse for a broken wire or if the wire has turned black. If yes, fuse needs to be
manually replaced.
Remove access panel (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), and ensure all wire connections are
firmly connected and dry. Ensure GFCI is a minimum 10 Amp service.
Control Board needs to be replaced. Contact Customer Care for a replacement part.
Before the unit is used for the first time or anytime the hopper is completely emptied out, the auger
must be primed to allow pellets to fill the auger tube. If not primed, the Igniter will timeout before
the pellets reach the Burn Pot. Follow Auger Priming Procedure .
Remove cooking components from the main barrel. Visually confirm that the Igniter is protruding
approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the Burn Pot. If not operating properly, call Customer Care for
assistance or a replacement part.
Follow care and maintenance instructions.
Check Burn Pot for ash build-up or obstructions. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions for
ash build-up. Check fan. Ensure it is working properly and air intake is not blocked. Follow Care
and Maintenance instructions if dirty. Once all the above steps have been done, start the grill, set
temperature to SMOKE and wait for 10 minutes. Check that the flame produced is bright and vibrant.
Check hopper to check that fuel level is sufficient, and replenish if low. Should the quality of
hardwood pellets be poor, or the length of the pellets too long, this may cause an obstruction in the
feed system. Remove pellets and follow Care and Maintenance instructions.
Check status of grill probe. Follow Care and Maintenance instructions if dirty. Contact Customer Care
for a replacement part if damaged.
In cold conditions use a Pit Boss® Insulated Blanket or keep out of blowing winds. In hot conditions
keep the grill unit in a shaded area.
