SHUTDOWN
This setting must be used after each use. Select SHUTDOWN
from the main menu. The fan will remain on for up to 20
minutes. This setting will burn up any extra pellets in the
burner and cool down the grill. Do not turn the main power
switch off when the grill is hot.
FEED - Select FEED from the main menu. This setting is
used to feed pellets to the burner. It will be used the first
time you use the grill to fill the auger tube and any time
you may inadvertently run the hopper out of pellets. See
instructions on filling the auger tube.
SET TEMP LOW SMOKE - Select SET TEMP from the main

SET TEMP 160F TO 450F - Select SET TEMP from the main

Rotate dial to HIGH and press to confirm. This setting can

and press to confirm. The SMOKE SETTING can be adjusted
from 1-10. A smoke setting of 1 will produce less smoke and
maintain a more even temperature. As the smoke setting
is increased more smoke will be produced. Note that as the
smoke setting is increased temperature fluctuations will
increase.
UNITS: This setting is used to change the temperature
display units. Rotate the selector knob to change from
degrees F to degrees C. Press the selector knob to confirm
the selection.
ABOUT: When displayed, by pressing the selector knob, the
firmware version of the controller program and WIFI module
(if equipped), is shown. This information can be used to
help customer service determine if programming updates
are available and/or necessary for your controller.
"START": The digital readout will display "START" once the
Set Temperature has been selected. The startup cycle is
typically less than 8 minutes. A countdown timer will be
displayed, showing the time remaining in Start Mode. When
the Start cycle is complete the digital readout will display
the temperature inside the grill and the set temperature
and the grill will be in Run Mode. If, during the start cycle,
the selector knob is rotated BYPASS or CANCEL will be
displayed. If BYPASS is selected, the controller will stop the
Start cycle and enter Run mode (see Bypass Mode section of
this manual). If CANCEL is selected the controller will stop
the Start cycle and enter Shutdown Mode. (see Shutdown
section of this manual).

if there is a problem with the temperature sensor inside of
the grill.

"- - -" if either of the external probes are not plugged in or
there is a problem with the probe.
"FLAME OUT": The digital readout will display "FLAME OUT"
if the fire inside the grill has been extinguished.
"OVER TEMP": The digital readout will display "OVER TEMP"
if the fire inside the grill has exceeded safe operating
temperature.
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.
WARNING
Always start the grill with the lid open. The lid must be
closed after the start cycle.
