“P” SETTING
The main benefit to the “P” Button is that it allows you to fine tune your Pellet Grill to compensate
for ambient temperatures, humidity, wind, environmental changes, pellet fuel type and quality. Anytime the
temperature dial is first turned to SMOKE the Auger will turn continuously for 2.5 minutes and then shut off for
2 minutes, to allow the fire to get established. The auger then starts to cycle, delivering fuel for 16 seconds,
and then proceeds to turns off. The same goes for next cycle.
When the “P” Button is pushed, the “P” SET 4 starts flashing on the LCD screen. Regulate setting by pushing
“+” or “-”. The corresponding “P” setting is displayed on the LCD screen momentarily. There are 8 “P” settings,
ranging from P0 to P7. Note: Factory default setting is “P4”. Last push the “P” SET, the flashing stops and
setting is completed. There are 8 “P” settings in SMOKE mode, ranging from P0 to P7. P0 has the highest
temperature; P7 is the lowest temperature.
Do not increase the “P” setting too high when outside temperature is low. As this could result in the
fire going out.
“P” SET MANUAL FEEDING
Press and hold “P” button for 5 seconds, the “P” button on the LCD screen will continue flashing, and the feeding
system will continuously transfer pellets to the Burn Pot. There will be more smoke if this function is used in
SMOKE mode, with more heat being produced if used before opening the lid.
“M” TIMER SETTING
After pushing the “M” timer button, the screen displays 01:00, when “01” continues flashing you can regulate “+” or
“-” to the desired hour. Proceed to push the “M” button, so “00” flashes to regulate “+” or “-” to the desired minute.
Every time you push “+” or “-” in hour/minute mode, it increases or decreases 1 hour/5 minutes.
Please note: Do not leave grill unattended for a long duration of time.
If
there
are any
grill fires, cut
off power
