SAFETY INFORMATION
MAJOR CAUSES OF APPLIANCE FIRES ARE A RESULT OF POOR MAINTENANCE AND A FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS PRODUCT BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS.
Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new wood pellet grill. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.
1.A minimum clearance of 305mm (12 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 305mm (12 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This wood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill OFF and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Do not unplug the power cord. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
2.Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water source.
3.After a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage around the fan intake or rear barrel exhaust holes. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that water does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high humidity, wood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance.
Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the grill is completely cool to the touch before moving.
4.It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the barbecue.
5.To prevent fingers, clothing or other objects from coming in contact with the auger feed system, the appliance is equipped with a metal safety screen, mounted to the interior of the hopper. This screen must not be removed unless directed by Customer Service or an authorized dealer.
This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.
6.Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.
7.Do not enlarge igniter holes or burn pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
WOOD PELLET FUEL
This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural, wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural wood pellets, designed for burning in pellet barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives.
Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill.
At this time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information, can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute.
Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area, and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality of pellets used, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel.
CREOSOTE
Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: incorrect position of the burn grate, blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion.
It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the burn pot is overfilled with pellets. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit OFF, let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas.
If creosote has formed within the unit; allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn off the appliance, then wipe away any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”)
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the 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.
SAFETY LISTING
In accordance with the procedures and specifications listed in the UL Subject 2728-2009 "pellet fuel cooking appliances" and ULC/ORD C272 and Canadian CSA C22.2 #3 "for electrical features of fuel burning equipment." Pit Boss Grills pellet cooking appliances have been independently tested and listed by Intertek (an accredited testing laboratory) to ETL, UL, ULC and CSA standards.
