GRILL PREPARATION Initial Firing Instructions These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited and each time the grill runs out of pellets. 1.) Remove Cooking Grates, Grease Tray, and Heat Diffuser from the interior of Grill. 2.) Open the Pellet Hopper Lid, locate the auger. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the Auger. 3.) With the Temperature Dial in the OFF position, plug the power cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet. 4.
GRILL OPERATION Grill Lighting Instructions 1.) With the Lid open, turn the Temperature Dial to Smoke. 2.) In approximately 2 minutes, the pellets will ignite and white/gray smoke will be coming from the grill. Once the pellets have ignited, close the lid, set the Temperature Dial to HIGH, and run for 45 minutes. If Grill Fails to ignite, perform the following: 1.) Turn the Temperature dial to OFF. Open the Lid, remove all food, the Cooking Grates, Grease Tray, and Heat Diffuser. 2.
GRILL MAINTENANCE 1.) The Pellet Grill should be frequently checked for Grease Build-up. The following locations are where grease build-up occurs. Change the aluminum foil on the Grease Tray regularly. Periodically, clean the grease out of the Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube, and off all interior surfaces of the grill body. Occasionally, empty the Grease Bucket. Lining this item with aluminum foil also makes clean-up easier.
DIGITAL GRILL CONTROL The Digital Grill Control regulates the desired temperature selection. The following information will provide you the insight to properly using your controller. Overview LCD Screen Temperature Dial Smoke Control Dial Cook Mode Smoke Mode Displays Grill temperature, smoke settings, idle fuel feed settings, igniter status, low temperature status, and error messages. Select Off, Smoke, or one of nine Temperatures the Grill will cook at.
DIGITAL GRILL CONTROL Connecting Grill to AC Power 1.) The Temperature Dial must be in the OFF. 2.) Plug the power cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet. 3.) If ‘ErP’ is displayed, the Temperature Dial was not set to OFF. This causes an inadvertent start error, which halts the ignition sequence. To clear the error, turn the Temperature Dial to OFF, wait 2 seconds, then set the desired cooking temperature. This feature keeps unintentional starts from occurring.

SMOKE / COOK MODES When the Temperature Dial is set to SMOKE, the grill maintains a low temperature and outputs the desired amount of smoke to increase the flavor of the foods. Smoking 1.) Set the Temperature Dial to SMOKE. The LCD screen will display the current Grill Temperature. 2.) Use the Smoke Control Dial to set the Smoke Setting, P0-P7. The Smoke Setting will display current Grill Temperature. See ‘Understanding Smoke Mode / Idle Fuel Feed Rate’ for more information on Smoke Settings. 3.
UNDERSTANDING SMOKE MODE / IDLE FUEL FEED RATE Smoke Mode and Idle Fuel Feed Rate are both controlled by the Smoke Control Dial. During Smoke Mode and the Idle Stage of Cook Mode, the Auger turns on, delivers fuel for 18 seconds, then turns off. The off time is set by the Smoke Control Dial, which displays a ‘P’ setting. When the Smoke Control Dial is adjusted, the corresponding ‘P’ setting is displayed on the LCD screen momentarily. There are eight ‘P’ Settings, ranging from P0 to P7.
TROUBLESHOOTING Control Panel Error Modes and Messages Flashing Temperature In Smoke Mode, the displayed temperature flashes if the grill temperature is below 110 ̊F . In Cook Mode, the displayed temperature flashes if the grill temperature is below 150 ̊F. This is not an error condition and does not affect the operation of the grill. The flashing display is designed to alert the operator that there is some risk that the fire could go out. Flashing Dots The igniter is on.
TROUBLESHOOTING LCD Screen Won’t Light Up Check the Following items: 1.) Verify there is power at the electrical outlet where the grill is plugged in. 2.) If Power Cord is connected to a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter) outlet, check and reset if necessary. 3.) Make sure Temperature Dial is in the OFF setting. 4.) Turn Temperature Dial to Smoke. If the LCD Screen still wont light up, contact Customer Service for additional troubleshooting help. GFI Outlet Keeps Tripping 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING Continued. If Pellets are not dropping from the Auger: 1.) Turn the Temperature Dial to the Off position and unplug unit from wall. 2.) Check auger for objects, obstructions, or swollen pellets. If there are no obstructions: A.) The auger motor could have failed. Contact Char-Griller Customer Service. B.) The Control Board could have failed. Contact Char-Griller Customer Service. Grill’s Fire goes out on ‘SMOKE’ Setting Excess Ash in the Fire Pot may be the problem. 1.
