6.INSTALLING THE COOKING GRATE AND WARMING RACK
1.) Install the Porcelain Cooking Grate(4) and Warming Rack(3) into the Chamber. As shown.
7.HANG ON THE GREASE BUCKET
1.) Locate the Grease Drain Tube which is on the right side of the Chamber,
then hang the Grease Bucket(16) on the hook. As shown.
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, 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.
Turn on your Z Grill and turn the Temperature Dial to the SMOKE position. Please check
the following things:
(WARNING: Please do not touch it!)
•
Confirm the Auger is turning.
•
Hold your fingers above the Firepot to confirm the fan is blowing air through the Firepot.
•
The hotrod 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
PAGE 16 FOR DETAILS ON ERROR CODES
5.
Turn the Temperature Dial to SHUT DOWN CYCLE.
(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, turn the
Temperature Dial to SHUT DOWN CYCLE.
Leave grill until it shuts off automatically.
7.
Turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. Allow the Pellets to come to full flame. Once
flames
are coming out of the Firepot, turn the Temperature Dial to SHUT DOWN CYCLE
and let the
grill cool down.
[We suggest that you should wrap the Grease Drain Pan with heavy-duty aluminum
foil before using because it is easy to clean.]
8.
Place components back in place. Open the lid and turn the Temperature Dial to SMOKE.
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.
INITIAL
FIRING
INSTRUCTIONS
ALWAYS START THE GRILL ON SMOKE SETTING WITH THE LID OPEN
After the Pellets are ignited, you can turn the Temperature Dial to any
cooking temperature desired.
