Hopper Assembly
•
The hopper includes a clean-out feature to allow for ease of clean-
ing and change out of pellet fuel flavors. To empty, locate the plate
and the cover of the drop chute on the back side of the hopper.
Place a clean, empty pail under the drop chute cover, then remove
the cover piece. Unscrew the plate, slide outwards, and pellets will
empty. (G)
NOTE: Use a long handled brush or wet/dry vacuum to remove
excess pellets, sawdust, and debris for a complete clean-out
through the hopper screen.
•
Running all pellets out of your auger system is recommended if
your grill will be unused for an extended period of time. This can
be done by simply running your grill, on an empty hopper, until all
pellets have emptied from the auger tube.
•
Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found
on the bottom of the hopper. Once the access panel has been re-
moved, carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on the fan
blades. This ensures airflow is clean and sufficient to the feed sys-
tem. (H)
