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 these the grill will go into the Startup
mode. The digital readout will display "START" for 8 minutes
during the startup cycle. After the 8 minutes the digital
readout will display the internal
dial can be changed at any time during the startup cycle or
the cook cycle between any of the 13 cook settings.
Do not over-fire the grill by over feeding pellets into
the burner prior to startup. If flame is inadvertently
extinguished never restart the grill without first cleaning
out the burner. Improper use can cause an uncontrolled
fire.
DIRECT FLAME MODE
Pull grill knob out all the way to allow direct heat as shown

Always clean grease tray to remove excess grease
drippings prior to cooking in Direct Flame Mode. A
dirty grease tray may result in excessive flare ups or
uncontrolled fire. If grease fire does occur, turn off grill
using the main power switch and close the lid. Leave the
lid closed until fire is extinguished. If an uncontrollable
fire does occur, immediately call local fire department.
Never put water on the fire.
INDIRECT FLAME MODE
Push grill knob in all the way for indirect heat as shown in
Fig 14. Best for chicken, slow smoking and low temps.

SHUTDOWN
When you are done cooking the dial must be turned to the
Shutdown setting. The digital readout will display "SDOWN".
In this setting the fan will remain on for 10 minutes to
finish burning any pellets in the burner and cool the grill
down. After 10 minutes the digital readout and auger will
turn off. At this point the main power switch should be
switched to off. Before grill can be used, the power switch
must be turned off and back on.
BYPASS MODE
The bypass may be used if there is a power failure, or
the grill is accidentally turned off, or anytime you need to
restart the grill and it is still hot. The bypass mode should
only be used if the grill has been off less than 3-4 minutes.
This method is used to bypass the normal startup mode
and get the grill cooking again quickly. The burner must
still be hot enough to ignite new pellets or this method will
not work. In order to initiate the bypass mode you must first
select the cook setting you want. At this point the digital
readout will display "START". Simply press the bypass
button in and hold it for 3 seconds. The digital readout
will display "BPASS". Release the button and the grill will
go into the cook mode and the digital readout will display
the grill temperature. If the grill fails to ignite using the
