•
The pellet hopper must be properly setup with pellets in the auger tube PRIOR to lighting the grill.
•
NEVER add or use wood chips or particles in the hopper. ONLY use barbecue grade pellets.
•
Use of an extension cord is NOT recommended. But if necessary, use only a maximum length of 25' with a 3 prong grounding
plug rated for power of the equipment and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking.
•
DO NOT break the ground end off the cord or use a non-grounded outlet or extension cord.
•
NEVER immerse cord, plugs, or electric elements in water or any liquid.
•
NEVER operate the grill with a damaged power cord or plug, or after the grill has malfunctioned or been damaged in any manner.
•
Keep any power cords away from heated surfaces.
•
NEVER inspect or perform maintenance on a hot grill. Allow to properly cool before inspecting or cleaning your grill.
NOTE: If the grill fails to light, inspect the fire pot for the presence of pellets or build-up of pellet ash. If the fire pot contains too much ash,
clean it out using a shop vacuum. Also be certain the fan blower motor and auger are working by observing these parts after starting the
smoker. If they are working, turn OFF the power and reassemble the components.
NOTE: When the controller is ON, if the grill probe does not reach a temperature of 130°F within 20 minutes, the controller will turn OFF and
display "ER-2." (Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING for more information.)
CAUTION!
