AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the Burn 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. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the SMOKE position 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 Burn 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.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the OFF position. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from
inside. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the Burn Pot. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may be
extremely hot.
2. Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the SMOKE position
to turn the unit on. Check the following:
•
Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the Burn Pot and feeling for heat.
•
Visually confirm that the igniter is protruding approximately 13mm / 0.5 inches in the Burn Pot.
•
Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the Burn Pot.
•
Confirm that the combustion fan is working by listening for a torchy roar.
3. If any of the above points are not working, follow Troubleshooting instructions .
MANUAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1.
Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the OFF position. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source.
2. Check Burn 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 hopper with dry, all natural hardwood barbecue pellets.
3. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the Burn Pot. Place a generous handful of pellets into
the Burn Pot. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount
of solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. Add another
small amount of pellets in the Burn Pot.
NOTE: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
4. Light the contents of the Burn Pot using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes.
Do not attempt to add more starter into the Burn Pot. This can cause injury.
5. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the main barrel. Continue start-up at step two of
Automatic Start-Up Procedure .
SHUTTING OFF YOUR GRILL
1.
When finished cooking, with the main barrel lid remaining closed, Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the OFF position.
to turn the unit off. The grill will begin its automatic cool-down cycle. The auger system will stop feeding fuel, the flame
will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until the cool-down cycle is complete. When the cycle is complete, the fan
will turn off.
IMPORTANT! Once the shut-down cycle is complete, unplug the power cord.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your grill:
1. HOPPER ASSEMBLY
•
In instances of long periods between use, it is suggested to run all pellets through your hopper and auger, to
prevent jams.
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.
•
Check and clean off any debris from the fan air intake vent, found on the bottom of the hopper. Once the hopper
access panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), carefully wipe off any grease build-up directly on
the fan blades. This ensures airflow is sufficient to the feed system.
2. PROBES
•
Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
•
Although the probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the
internal wires will cause the probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.
3. INSIDE SURFACES
•
It is recommended to clean your burn pot after every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard
build-up of debris or ash in the burn pot.
•
Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do
this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking
components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire,
keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the
grill off, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
•
Check your grease bucket often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do.
IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the Flame Broiler™ or probes with aluminum foil.
4. OUTSIDE SURFACES
•
Wipe your grill down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive
cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces. All painted surfaces are not covered under
warranty, but rather are part of general maintenance and upkeep. For paint scratches, wearing, or flaking of
the finish, all painted surfaces can be touched up using high heat BBQ paint.
•
Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.
