ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS - PELLET GRILL
1. Unpack and Prepare for Assembly - Remove all items from inside grill body and lay grill body on
its back. For ease of assembly, complete steps 1-5 below before standing grill upright.
Note: Flatten the cardboard box out and lay everything on it. This serves as a good working area and
it helps prevent the grill from getting scratched or damaged during installation.
2. Attach legs - with fixed wheels (#3) on the right side, with wheels facing outward to the front
and back of grill. Attach legs with the rotating casters (#2) on the left side of the grill. Attach all
four legs using bolts (A), flat washers (B), lock washers (C) and nuts (D) DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN
HARDWARE All hardware is found in included Hardware Packet (#12).
3. Attach Bottom Shelf - Align shelf (#4) between grill legs and attach using 4 bolts (A), flat wash-
ers (B), lock washers (C) and nuts (D). FULLY TIGHTEN HARDWARE.
4. Grill Handle Assembly - Attach the handle (#5) to grill lid using the small bolts that are screwed
into handle.
5. Stand Grill Upright - You will need two people to do this as the grill is very heavy.

Correct Hardware Arrangement
6. Flame Deflector (#6), Drip Pan (#7) Installation - Open the lid of the grill. Install the Flame
Deflector (#6) over the Air Box assembly with the small notches in the flame deflector over the
small tabs located at the inside front and rear of the grill body. Install Drip Pan (#7) with the
short lip sitting on the left-side drip pan support and the longer lip resting on the right-side lower
support. Make sure to leave equal gapping between the Drip Pan and the front and back chamber
walls to ensure even heat distribution.
BE CAREFUL NOT TO DAMAGE THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR WHILE INSTALLING THE DRIP PAN
Note: Many customers line their drip pan with aluminum foil for easier clean up. When lining the drip
pan, keep the foil inside the drip pan edges and do not wrap around as this restricts airflow.
7. Cooking Grates (#8) Installation - Install the Cooking Grates (#8) by resting it flat on the front
and back ledges inside chamber. Be careful to avoid the temperature sensor during placement.
8. Drip Bucket (#10) Installation - Install the Drip Bucket (#9) by clipping the handle to the inte-
grated hook on grease spout on the right side of the grill and allow it to hang.

INITIAL SETUP PROCEDURE
For your first lighting, follow this Initial Setup Procedure.
1. Open the main lid and remove the cooking grate, drip pan and flame deflector. Make
sure all packing material has been removed.
2. Open the pellet hopper lid found on the left side of your grill and check for any foreign
objects.
3. Plug your Pellet Grill into the nearest 110 Volt-AC GFCI outlet.
Note: If your home does not have a GFCI outlet, you should have one installed by an elec-
trician.
4. Put no more than 1/2cup of pellets directly into the fire pot to provide fuel to burn
while auger tube self-primes.
5. Pour pellets into your grills pellet hopper.
6. Wash cooking grate with mild soap and water.
7. Reinstall the flame deflector, drip pan, cooking grate, and close lid.
Note: If you want to line your drip pan with foil for ease of cleanup, we recommend you do
this before your initial burn in. When lining drip pan, keep foil inside drip pan edges
and do not wrap around as this can restrict airflow.
8. Turn on your Pellet Grill by pressing the power button at the left of the panel Set tem-
perature to 400°F by setting the digital control.
9. Within a few minutes you will see smoke, and your grill will light.
10. Once the temperature is at 400°F, allow it to run for 1hour, this will provide a final
cure and remove any residue that may have accumulated during manufacturing and
shipping.
After this initial burn, your Pellet Grill is ready for cooking.
TEMPERATURE PROBE
1. Plug your temperature probe into the grills controller probe port
2. Feed probe through the probe port hole on the left side of grill cooking chamber. Insert
probe into thickest portion of meat for most accurate reading.
Unplugging probe and cleaning with damp cloth will prolong the life and accuracy of your
probe
Reinstalling rubber protector over the connection port connection on controller after each
cook will prolong the life and quality of your controller.
