GENERAL INFORMATION AND FEATURES

Thank you for purchasing the SweetHome Outdoor
Pellet Grill from Sierra Products, Inc. Our goal is to
manufacture quality outdoor cooking products that
provide years of service and satisfaction.

Standard Features Include:

a) Auto igniter system.

b) Digital Tem perature Control that constantly

adjusts pellet feed for proper temperature.

c) Low fuel warning system.

d) Stainless steel construction of cooking grid,

grease drip tray, and hood and shelf if equipped.

e) Tall hood clearance for large food items.

f) Large 21 lbs pellet fuel hopper for long burn times.

g) Powder coat paint chassis and components.

h) Heavy Duty wheels and casters.

SweetHome outdoor cooking can be an exciting
experience. You can smoke, barbecue, roast, and bake
with results that are tough to duplicate with indoor
appliances. With the hood closed the SweetHome
system will produce that “wood grill” flavor in food.

The SweetHome chassis is factory assembled requiring
only leg assembly. With some fore-thought and planning
the SweetHome can be assembled and operating with
minimum effort.

Remem ber when selecting a location for your grill
operating and convenience is the key to outdoor cooking.
Try to find a location that allows for easy access in both
food preparation and service. The grill will become hot
during operation, high traffic areas should be avoided.
An additional consideration is m aintenance and service.
Always allow room for cleaning and annual service.

If your location includes an area close to a structure
consideration to clearances from com bustible m aterials
and overhead areas is very important. Follow the
information included in this manual for proper assembly
and operation. Use of the SweetHome should follow the
clearance from combustible materials for both side,
back, and over head.

Minimum clearance to combustible surfaces:

Front, Rear, Sides - 12"
Top - 24" (Do not operate in enclosed alcove)

Your SweetHome is constructed from carbon steel and
powder coat painted. We strongly suggest covering your
grill when not in use. Covers are available from your
dealer ask for P/N 11219 or 11220; for the SH450 or
SH650. This will help minimize the effects of weather and
general wear and tear.
