Controller Explanation
Power Switch
Used to turn the main power onto the pellet grill.
If the dial is on Shutdown when the power switch
is turned on the digital readout will display "---

positions before the grill will start. If the power is
turned on with the dial in any other position than
Shutdown the grill will immediately start that
function. "O" is Off. "-" is On. See Fig. 14

Dial Positions
Shutdown
This setting must be used after each use. Turn the
dial to this setting and the fan will remain on for
10 minutes before turning off. This setting will burn
up any extra pellets in the burner and cool down the
grill. Do not turn the main power switch off when
the grill is hot.
Feed - This setting is used to feed pellets to the
burner. It will be used the first time you use the
grill to fill the auger tube and any time you may
inadvertently run the hopper out of pellets. See
instructions on filling the auger tube.
Low Smoke - This setting is used for smoking foods
at an average temperature of 160F. This setting will
produce large amounts of smoke.
High Smoke - This setting is used for smoking
foods at an average temperature of 220F. This
setting will produce large amounts of smoke.
175F to 400F - There are 25F increment settings
from 175F to 400F. You can simply select any
temperature you want and the grill will control the
temperature within 15F of the selected temperature.
High - This setting can be used to achieve
temperatures up to 500F depending on ambient
temperatures.
Display
"START" - The digital readout will display "START"
each time the dial is changed from the OFF,
SHUTDOWN, or FEED settings to any of the cook
settings. The startup cycle is approximately 8
minutes. During the cook cycle after the start
sequence the digital readout will display the
temperature inside of the grill. If the Probe Temp
button has been pressed then it will display
the temperature of the external probe used for
measuring meat temperatures.
"SDOWN" - The digital readout will display
"SDOWN" when the dial is turned to the shutdown
mode. After 10 minutes the digital readout and the
fan will turn off.
"SENSR" - The digital readout will display "SENSR"
if there is an error with the temperature sensor
inside of the grill.
"PRERR" - The digital readout will display "PRERR"
when the Probe Temp button is pressed if either
the external probe is not plugged in or there is a
problem with the probe.
"FEED" - The digital readout will display "FEED" if
dial is turned to the feed mode. After 7 minutes the
auger will turn off.
"BPASS" - The digital readout will display "BPASS"
when the bypass button is pressed and held in for 3
seconds. See the setting on Bypass Mode.
"FLAME" - The digital readout will display "flame"
if the fire is extinguished.
Breaking In the Grill
We suggest turning the grill to 350F for ½ hour
before cooking on the grill for the first time. This will
burn off any manufacturing oils and cure the paint.
Make sure to follow the instructions for filling the
auger tube before breaking in the grill.
Always start the grill with the lid open. The lid
must be closed after the start cycle.
Cooking
Once the auger tube has been properly filled you
can begin cooking by selecting any of the cooking
temperatures. The grill has 13 cook settings. Low
Smoke, High Smoke, 175, 200, 225, 250, 275, 300,
325, 350, 375, 400, and High. By selecting any of
