bypass mode then restart the grill using the normal startup
procedures.
MEAT PROBES
This smoker has built in meat probes to measure the
temperature of the food as it is being cooked. To use these
probes insert the wire through the stainless flaps on the
side of the firebox. Insert the probes into the food. Plug the
connectors into the receptacles on the front of the control
panel. If the probes are not installed correctly or the probe is
bad no temperature will display.
Do not use meat probes when grill temperature exceeds
350˚F. Damage to the probes may occur.
Do not allow meat probe wires to lie in the direct heat
zones (as shown by shaded areas).
Direct heat will damage the meat probe wires. Always
route the meat probes through ports on the side of the
grill. Do not submerge wire in water. Not dishwasher safe.
CLEANING
Clean grates using a wire grill brush. This should be done with
each use. DO NOT use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners on the
painted grill surfaces. Use warm soapy water on all painted
surfaces. Clean grease pan, grease trough, and grease drain
tube occasionally. A spatula can be used to scrape excess
grease and a grill brush to brush clean. Do not allow grease to
build up on the grease tray or in the grease trough as this can
cause flare-ups inside the grill. Make sure not to obstruct the
flow of grease off of the tray and into the grease trough. Make
sure not to block the airflow to the temperature sensor on the
left side of the grill.
CAUTION
PROBE
Normal use will create a buildup of ash, grease, and
creosote inside the grill. The grill must be thoroughly
cleaned after every 50 hours of use or if a buildup of
grease or creosote is noticed inside the grill. Clean the
grill by removing all internal parts and thoroughly scrape
away all grease and creosote from all internal surfaces
including the grease drain and remove debris from
the grill. The drip tray must always be cleaned prior to
turning the grill to high or cooking in direct flame mode.
Excessive buildup of grease and creosote may result in
a grease fire. If a grease fire does occur, turn off the grill
using the main power switch and close the lid. Leave
the lid closed until the fire extinguishes itself. If an
uncontrolled fire does occur, immediately call the local
fire department. Never put water on a grease fire.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and
other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in a relatively
cook oven chimney of a slow burning fire. As a result,
creosote residue accumulates on the chimney. When ignited,
this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney
should be inspected every 50 hours of use to determine
when grease and or creosote buildup has occurred. When
grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed
to reduce risk of fire. Use a wire brush to clean the screen
area of the chimney outlet on the inside of the grill with
every 50 hours of use. The chimney must be removed and
thoroughly cleaned to remove creosote and grease buildup
every 200 hours of use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Grill Does Not Turn On.
Grill fails to turn on after switching the power button to the
on position.
1. Make sure the grill is plugged into a powered outlet.
Check the circuit breaker and/or GFCI switch. Test the
outlet using another appliance.
2. Unplug the grill and check the fuse located in the front
panel. If the fuse is blown replace only with 4.0 Amp
125V 5x20mm Fast Blow Fuse. Typical fuse marking
will be 4A125V, F4A125V, 4A250V, or F4A250V. Make
sure to confirm they are a Fast Blow Fuse. Actual fuse
dimensions are 5.2x20mm.
If problem cannot be resolved please call customer service.
Controller Display does not turn on after update
1. Make sure the grill is plugged into a powered outlet and
the switch is in the on ("-") position.
2. Leave the switch in the on position for 2 minutes. The
