PELLET RESTRICTIONS
This grill is designed for use of wood pellets only designed for burning in wood pellet
grills. Do Not Use Pellet Fuel Labeled As Having Additives.
We suggest that you use Z GRILLS BBQ WOOD PELLETS, which are specifically
made to work in our grills. There is no guarantee that other brands of pellets are
suitable for use in Z GRILLS. And Z GRILLS assumes no liability for any loss, damage
or injury caused by the use of any other brands of pellets.
Always keep the Pellet Hopper dry, the wood pellets will expand greatly, break apart
and even jam the feed system if the pellets get wet or are exposed to high humidity.
CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING
Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you,
your family or others.
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s
ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness
and death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in
the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be
mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants,
the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as
anemia, or heart disease.

INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS
This Only Applies to ZPGD-1100 2B/ ZPGD-705 2B/ ZPGD-705 2B2/ ZPGD-705 2B3
Please read this manual carefully and follow it step by step before starting your
Z Grills for the first time and each time the grill runs out of pellets.
1.Remove the Porcelain Grills, Warming Rack, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle from the
interior of the grill.
2.Open the Pellet Hopper Lid, make sure there are no foreign objects in the Auger and
Hopper.
3.With the Switch in the OFF(O) position, plug the power cord into a 110 Volt AC grounded
outlet.
4.After POWER BUTTON is pressed down, press START button to activate the startup
process of control board, which sets temperature in 275F automatically. Please check the
following things:
(WARNING: Please do not touch it!)
Confirm the Auger is turning. (Wait for 1-2 minutes.)
Hold your fingers above the Firepot to confirm the fan is blowing air through the Firepot.
The hot rod will heat up and you should be able to sense the heat coming from it. (It takes
approximately 1-2 minutes.)
You should see a temperature number displayed on your LED DISPLAY. If you see
something different displayed, it is an ERROR CODE. NOTE: PLEASE SEE
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR DETAILS ON ERROR CODES.
5.Press and hold START in 3 seconds to activate the grill shutdown process.
(Please note the draft fan will stay on for 10 minutes in this mode.)
6.Fill the Pellet Hopper with Pellets. Then turn the Temperature Dial to HIGH. It takes some
time for the Pellets to travel through the tube, when the Pellets start to drop, Press and hold
START in 3 seconds. Leave grill until it shuts off automatically.
7.Press START button . Allow the Pellets to come to full flame. Once flames are coming out
of the Firepot, press and hold START in 3 seconds and let the grill cool down.
8.Place components back in place. Open the lid and press START button. A few minutes
later, when you see whitish-gray smoke coming out of the grill, close the lid and turn the
Temperature Dial to any cooking setting desired.
9.Set Temperature Dial to HIGH and let grill run for 45 minutes at this setting to rid it of any
foreign matter. This step must be done before cooking any food.
10.Please preheat the grill for 10 minutes before adding food. This makes your grill heat up
faster and quickly reach your desired cooking temperature. Adding food sooner will slow
down the heating process.
ALWAYS START THE GRILL ON START BUTTON WITH THE LID OPEN !
After the Pellets are ignited, you can turn the Temperature Dial to any cooking temperature
desired.
