from appliance and immediately call
your fire department. Do not attempt
to extinguish an oil or grease fire
with water.

Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire, explosion or burn
hazard, which could cause property
damage, personal injury or death.

CAUTION

Always store wood pellets away from
heat producing appliances and other
food containers. Pellets should be
stored in a dry environment.

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.

The pellet usage will vary greatly depending
on the ambient temperature as well as
cooking temperature.

16. It is recommended that you not store pellets
in the hopper for extended periods as they
may absorb moisture from the air and clog the
auger.

17. Keep the lid closed during cooking. The grill is
designed to cook with the lid closed.

18. Note that the cooking temperature displayed
on the digital readout is measured near the
cooking surface on the righty side of the grill.
The actual temperature inside the cooking
chamber will vary slightly throughout.

19. Do not use accessories not specified for use
with appliance.

20. Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar
liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this
appliance. Keep all such liquids well away
from the appliance when in use.

21. Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a non combustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal.
When the ashes are disposed by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed they should
be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.

22. Creosote – Formation and need for removal.
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they
produce tar and other organic vapors that
combine with expelled moisture to form
creosote. The creosote vapors condense in
a relatively cool oven flue and exhaust hood
of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining and
exhaust hood. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. The grease duct
should be inspected at least twice a year to
determine when grease and/or creosote build­up has occurred. When grease or creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce
risk of fire.

23. Before moving or storing your grill, empty your

fire box, remove ash cup and make sure the
grill has cooled completely.

24. Do not use the grill with legs folded. Only use

with legs fully extended.

1. Do NOT leave this appliance unattended while
in use. The user must remain in the immediate
area of the product and have a clear view of the
product at all times during operation.

2. Keep children and pets away from burner at all
times.

3. The use of alcohol, prescription or non­prescription drugs may impair your ability to
properly assemble or safely operate
this appliance.

4. For OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT use in a
building, garage or any other enclosed area. Do
NOT use in or on recreational vehicles or boats.
NEVER use this appliance as a heater.

5. Do not operate appliance under ANY overhead
construction. Keep a minimum clearance of
36 inches (0.9 m) from the sides, front and
back of appliance to ANY construction. Keep
the area clear of all combustible material and
flammable liquids, including wood, dry plants
and grass, brush, paper, and canvas.

6. This product is not intended for commercial
use.

7. Always allow the appliance to cool before
covering with the patio cover or putting in carry
bag.

8. Always cover the appliance, with patio cover (if
supplied), when not in use.

9. Always unplug grill before installing patio
cover.

10. Use only on a level, stable non-combustible

surface like bricks, concrete or dirt. Do not use
this appliance on any surface that will burn or
melt like wood, asphalt, vinyl or plastic.

11. Make sure burner clean-out is closed before

starting the grill.

12. Make sure the grease bucket is in place before

starting the grill.

13. In the event of a fire the dial should be turned

to shutdown, close the lid, and leave it closed
until the fire goes out. After allowing the grill
to cool, follow the cleaning instructions before
the next use.

14. Use only food grade hardwood pellets

manufactured for use in pellet grills. Using
softwood or heating pellets will void your
warranty.

15. Do not allow the hopper to run out of pellets.

Pellets can be added at any time. The hopper
will hold approximately 10 pounds of pellets.
