• For convenient and safe assembly, use at least two people to assemble.
• DO NOT use the grill in any enclosed area, it is for outdoor use only.
• DO NOT use your grill outside on rainy days, it must not get wet.
• DO NOT store or use combustible materials or liquids near the grill.
• DO NOT move your grill while operating or while it is hot. Wait until the
grill is completely cold.
• DO NOT place heavy objects on top of the hopper lid as it could tip over.
• Keep children away while the grill is in use.
• Parts of your grill will become very hot so take care as serious burns
could result.
• Always keep the Pellet Hopper dry. The wood pellets will expand, break
apart and even jam the Auger feed system if they get wet or are exposed
to high humidity. Store pellets in air tight containers and only pour as
much as required for your cooking into the hopper.
• Maintain a safe distance between your grill and any combustible
materials.
• If a grease fire occurs, turn the controller OFF and leave the lid CLOSED
until the fire is extinguished. DO NOT unplug the power cord. DO NOT
throw water on it. DO NOT try to smother the fire.
• Clean and maintain your grill after each use.
• Only use wood pellets which are made specifically for BBQs and no larger
than 6mm in diameter.
• Use of heat-resistant gloves when operating this grill.
• Cover the Grease Tray with heavy-duty aluminum foil before use to make
it easier to clean. Replace the foil regularly and clean any grease in the
drain to reduce the chance of grease fires.
• Make sure the power cord is disconnected before performing any service
or maintenance.
• Never put water into the Pellet Hopper or Fire-pot.
• Never add pellets into the Fire-pot whilst the grill is operating.
If the hopper runs out of pellets, let the grill cool down and repeat INITIAL
STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS.
• Take care when pushing the grill around as it can tip over when pushed on
uneven ground, especially if the Hopper is full of pellets.
• Lock the rear wheels if on sloping or uneven surfaces.

2. Quick Reference Guide
INITIAL STARTUP PROCEDURE
•
The Initial Startup Procedure must be completed before first use and each
time after the grill runs out of wood pellets.
NEW GRILL BURN IN
•
It is important to complete a 45 minute HIGH temperature BURN IN with wood
pellets before cooking any food on a new Z Grill.
NORMAL STARTUP PROCEDURE
•
Turn the power ON and set the controller to SMOKE.
•
Keep the lid OPEN until smoke appears and the “roaring” fire sound is heard.
•
Turn the Temperature Dial to the desired setting.
•
Wait 10 minutes, or until the temperature is reached before putting food in.
NORMAL SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
•
After cooking, always turn the Temperature Dial to SHUT DOWN CYCLE and let
the grill cool down.
•
Do not turn OFF or disconnect the power until the fan has stopped running.
•
Turning OFF before shutdown has been completed could cause a Hopper fire.
GREASE FIRE

Turn the grill OFF and leave the Grill Lid CLOSED until the fire is out.
•
Do NOT apply water or try to smother the flames.
•
Clean the grill regularly to avoid grease fires.
PELLET USAGE RATE

•
When cooking meat and fish use food probes to monitor the internal temperature.
•
Minimum temperatures must be reached to kill bacteria ensuring the meat is safe
to eat. It can also indicate how well it is cooked.
•
Check online for more detailed temperature values for the specific food you are
cooking. The below temperatures are just a reference guide only.

5. Cleaning the Grill
Clean the Grill after each use, as accumulation of grease, ash and soot can increase
the risk of a grease fire and result in inefficient operation.
Grease Tray, Drain & Bucket
•
Remove foil from the Grease Tray and wipe off any surface grease.
•
Clean out the the V-shaped drain and spout to the Grease Bucket. This is easiest
to do while the grill is still warm (but not hot). Be careful!
•
Dispose of any grease in the Grease Bucket and wash clean with warm soapy
water.
Grilling Racks
•
Use a wood scraper or other gentle material to scrape off any large chunks.
•
Do NOT use a stainless steel wire brush as it can damage the ceramic coating.
•
Using a wet cloth while the grill racks are still hot can remove the majority of the
grease (use tongs or wear gloves).
•
Do NOT use acidic or strong chemical cleaners as they may damage the grill rack
ceramic coating.
Fire Pot and Chimney
•
Ash in the Fire-pot and the base of the Grill Drum can be vacuumed out. Only
vacuum when the grill is cold, switched OFF and unplugged from power supply.
•
Once every 4-5 uses, remove the Chimney Cap and clean with warm soapy water.
Scrape any soot from the chimney with a non-metallic object and wipe clean with
BBQ wipes.
Grill Surfaces
•
Wipe down the inside and outside of the Grill with BBQ cleaning wipes, or warm
soapy water and moist (not too wet) cloth.
•
Cover the grill with the protective cover when not in use, especially if stored
outdoors. The Grill must not be exposed to rain.
•
Gently clean the Temperature Sensor in the grill periodically to ensure accurate
temperature readings.
Food Temperature Probes
•
Food probes must be scrubbed thoroughly after each use with hot soapy water to
avoid food contamination. Avoid immersing the entire cable in water.
Wood Pellets
•
Wood pellets can absorb moisture if sitting for an extended period of time in the
hopper. They may not burn properly and if very moist can even cause the auger to
become blocked. Always store wood pellets in an air tight bag or container.
•
Scoop out wood pellets in the hopper and run the Grill until all pellets are depleted
if not planning to use the grill for several weeks.
