CLEANING YOUR WOODFIRE ELECTRIC BBQ GRILL & SMOKER
The unit should be cleaned thoroughly after
each use. ALWAYS let the appliance and
accessories cool before cleaning.
• Unplug the unit from power source before
cleaning. Keep the lid open after removing
your food to allow the unit to cool quicker.
• Remove smoke box and safely discard
cooled ash contents after every use.
• The pellet scoop is dishwasher safe. The grill
plate, crisper basket, grease tray and smoke
box are NOT dishwasher safe.
• Carefully remove cooled grease tray from
the back of the unit. Safely discard grease
contents and hand-wash grease tray in
warm, soapy water.
• Before storage or when removing the grease
tray, inspect the bottom of the unit for
buildup of debris. Wipe with damp cloth. Do
not use chemicals.
• It is not required to clean the smoke box
after every use. We recommend using a wire
brush to remove extra creosote after every
10 uses.
• If food residue or grease is stuck on the grill
plate or any other removable part, soak in
warm, soapy water before cleaning.
• Remove non-stick grill plate and crisper
basket (if used) after each use and
hand-wash with warm, soapy water.
• When stacking the coated accessories to
store, place a cloth or paper towel between
each piece to protect the coated surfaces.
CLEANING THE LID
• The inner lid should be wiped down with
a damp towel or cloth after each use to
deodorise the unit and remove any grease.
NOTE: NEVER use abrasive tools or cleaners.
NEVER immerse the main unit in water or any
other liquid. DO NOT place in dishwasher.
NOTE: DO NOT use liquid cleaning solution
on the smoke box.

• "CLD" appears on the control panel display.
Cold Smoking is to be used to provide smoke flavor
to foods, this is not intended for cooking. When used
on meat, poultry, or fish, this process should always be
used in conjunction with a separate step to bring food
up to food-safe internal temperatures. Refer to the
local food standards authority for recommended
food safe temperatures.
• Should I add my ingredients before or after
preheating?
For best results, let the unit preheat before adding
ingredients.
• Do I need to completely fill the smoke box with
pellets?
Yes, always fill the smoke box to the top. We've
perfected the amount of pellets needed for each
smoke session, regardless of the function or food load,
the unit will burn through them appropriately.
• When do I press the Woodfire Flavour technology
button?
Press the Woodfire Flavour technology button before
pressing start when wanting to add smoke using
the Grill, Air Fry, Roast, Bake or Dehydrate. You do
not need to press the Woodfire Flavour technology
button when using the Smoker function. Woodfire
Technology cannot be used with REHEAT.
• Why are flames coming out from the pellet box?
Small flames can come out from the pellet box if the
grill lid is lifted in windy conditions.
• Where should I keep my pellets stored?
Always store pellets in a dry area. Any moisture in the
pellets can compromise ignition and quality of
smoke flavour.
• Should I use any oils or non-stick sprays when
smoking?
No, we do not recommend using any oils or non-stick
sprays when smoking because smoke will not adhere
to the food as well.
• How do I dispose of burnt pellets after a cook cycle?
Pellets may continue to burn after cook time is
complete. Do not touch or remove the smoke box until
the grill has stopped smoking, pellets have completely
burnt out and the smoke box has cooled. Then,
remove the smoke box and safely discard cooled ash
contents.
• Why is preheat taking so long?
Preheat times vary by function and unit temperature.
GRILL: approx. HI 8-12 | MED 6-11 | LO 5-9mins.
AIR FRY, BAKE, ROAST: 3 minutes
SMOKER, DEHYDRATE, REHEAT: No preheat.
If adding Woodfire Flavour, ignition time will add an
additional 2-4 minutes.
Using the unit in inclement weather with heavy rain
could cause longer preheat times.
If using an extension cord, ensure it is suitable for use
outdoors with outdoor appliances. Using the incorrect
cord could lead to the cord overheating, melting and/
or a drop in voltage.
While preheating is strongly recommended for best
results, you can skip it by pressing and holding the
START/STOP button for 3 seconds. "ADD FOOD"
will flash across the screen. Open the lid and place
ingredients in unit. Once the lid is closed, cooking will
begin and the timer will start counting down.
• Can I turn o Woodfire Flavour technology?
If you pressed Woodfire Flavour technology and
already started your cooking function by pressing
START, you can press the Woodfire Flavour
technology button again to turn it o if the ignition
cycle is less than 75% complete (indicated by the
progress bar on the display screen). If pellets have fully
ignited and the grill has transitioned to the preheat
cycle (indicated on the display screen), you cannot
turn Woodfire Flavour technology o.
• Can I add more pellets during a cook cycle?
When using the SMOKER function, you can add more
pellets once the first batch has fully burned. Press
and hold the Woodfire Flavour technology button for
4 seconds to ignite new full box of pellets. If running
back-to-back smoking sessions, we recommend
refilling the smoke box using the pellet scoop when
half the pellets have burned. DO NOT refill more than
2 times. DO NOT re-ignite pellets.
