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.


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 LCD 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.)

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.

desired.
