HOW IT WORKS
Using the electronic controller, barbecue pellets are fed from the hopper down
an auger pipe into a fire pot. A `hot rod’ heating element initially causes
the pellets to light and a fan mixes air with the heat and fuel to produce
fire. The rate of pellets and airflow are varied to control the cooking
temperature.

PREPARING YOUR GRILL FOR FIRST USE
Firstly, ensure that you have read all safety instructions.
Follow this procedure before first use or after any time the hopper and auger
has been emptied. This should ONLY be performed when the grill is cool, before
being used.
Follow these initial set up procedures to ensure proper and safe operation. 1.
Open the grill lid; remove the warming rack and cooking grids. 2. Remove the
grease tray and clean off any excess food drippings or grease build-up. 3.
Inspect and clean the chamber right bracket. Ensure the drain tube is not
blocked. 4. Remove the diffuser. Inspect the bottom of the grill body and
remove any pellet ash. Also inspect and clean out fire pot. Ensure there are
no foreign objects in the fire pot and that the ignitor is clean and clear of
debris. 5. Line the bottom of the cooking chamber with heavy-duty aluminium
foil. This will help prevent flare-ups as well as make cleaning easier. 6.
Open the hopper lid and check for any foreign objects. Fill the hopper with
your choice of wood pellet fuel made for barbecues and close the hopper lid.
7. With the control dial set to “OFF”, plug the power into a properly earthed
220-240V electrical outlet. 8. Turn the control dial to “HIGH”. 9. Observe the
auger is turning and that the pellets are filling the auger tube (this could
take a few minutes). Once pellets begin to fall into the fire pot, turn the
control to “OFF”. Do NOT reach into the fire pit as the ignitor could be HOT.
10.Re-install the diffuser, grease tray, cooking grids and warming rack. The
grill is now ready for use. To continue, follow the Lighting Instructions. If
you plan to cook later, close the grill lid.
17
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
AUTOMATIC METHOD
1. With the grill properly set up and located for operation, ensure the
control dial is in the “OFF” position. Plug the power cord into a 220 240V
earthed electrical outlet. (Refer to instructions PREPARING YOUR GRILL FOR
FIRST USE for more information.
2. Open the grill lid. Ensure all components are properly installed and ready
for use.
3. Ensure the hopper does not contain any foreign objects and is properly
filled with barbecue wood pellets.
4. Ensure the auger is filled with pellets. If not, go back to the previous
section and properly fill the auger tube with pellets.
5. Turn the control dial to “Smoke”. Listen for the operation of the fan and
motors. Within five minutes smoke should become visible. If smoke does not
initially appear, turn off power and wait five minutes before attempting to
re-light. Refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING section of the manual for more
information.
6. Ensure the grill is lit, then close the lid. 7. Select the desired cooking
temperature or smoking pre-set. Refer to
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS for more operating instructions.
Note: Depending on the ambient temperature and the desired cooking set point,
the grill could take 20 minutes or so to pre-heat and stabilise. If the
temperature is higher than desired, open the lid until the displayed
temperature is near the desired temperature as this will decrease the time
required to stabilise.
If the grill is not properly set up so that the auger is primed with pellets,
the lighting procedure may fail and resulting in an error message displaying
on the LCD screen.
WARNING · Only use an extension cord approved for outdoor use. · Never immerse
any cord, plug or electrical element into water · Keep power cord away from
heated surfaces · Never operate the grill with a damaged power cord
18
MANUAL METHOD
1. With the grill properly set up and located for operation, ensure the
control dial is in the “OFF” position. Plug the power cord into a 220-240V
grounded electrical outlet. Do not use if the cord is damaged.
2. Open the grill lid. Remove the warming rack, cooking grids, grease tray
and diffuser.
3. Ensure the fire pot and ignitor are clean and free of debris and foreign
objects.
4. Ensure the auger tube of the hopper is filled with pellets. If not, go
back to the Preparing Your Grill section to fill pellets in the tube).
5. Place a generous handful of pellets into the fire pot. 6. Apply an
approved wood pellet starter, e.g. a fire starter gel, over the
pellets. 7. Using a long fireplace match or long lighter, light the starter
and the
pellets. 8. After the pellets are burning well (up to five minutes), carefully
replace the
diffuser, grease tray, cooking grids and warming rack. 9. Turn the control
dial to “Smoke”. Listen for the fan and auger motors to
operate. 10.Keep the grill lid open for a few minutes to complete the lighting
procedure. 11.Select the desired cooking temperature or smoking pre-set.
Note: Depending on the ambient temperature and the desired cooking set point,
the grill could take 20 minutes or so to pre-heat and stabilise. If the
temperature is higher than desired, open the lid until the displayed
temperature is near the desired temperature as this will decrease the time
required to stabilise.
Note: When the controller is ON, if the probe does not reach a temperature of
55°C within 20 minutes, the controller will turn OFF and the display will show
“Err”. Perform the following:
· Be certain the power is OFF. · Inspect the hopper to ensure it has enough
pellets and the pellets can
freely drop into the auger. After the grill has cooled, inspect the fire pit
for ash build-up or blockage. · Follow lighting instructions · If the grill
fails to light again refer to Troubleshooting section / contact Customer
Support.
19
SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the controller to “OFF”. The controller will begin its automatic
shutdown procedure (see below)
2. Open the grill lid. Leave it open until “OFF” is displayed on the
controller screen.
3. Close the grill lid and unplug the power cord.
The grill controller has an automatic shutdown procedure which allows the
flames to burn out naturally DO NOT IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECT THE POWER! The
controller runs a 15-minuite program. The display shows “15” and the fan
continues to run. When the procedure is complete the fan stops and the display
shows “OFF”. At this point you should disconnect the power and close the lid.
The grill is still HOT. Once it has cooled, store it in a safe place, out of
the way of children and pets.
CURING THE GRILL
Before first use, it is recommended to cure the grill to remove any
manufacturing oils, paint residue etc and minimise smoke odours or unnatural
flavours being added to food. To do this:
· Follow “Preparing Your Grill for First Use” (above) · Follow “Lighting
Instructions” (above) to start the grill. · Set the temperature to 120°C and
allow it to operate for 2 hours. · Increase the temperature to 205°C and allow
to operate for an additional
hour. · Turn the grill OFF and allow to cool properly.
20
GRILL OPERATION
PREHEATING THE GRILL
Prior to each use, preheat the grill to remove bacteria or foreign material
from previous use. This also increases the cooking performance since all of
the grates and components have a balanced temperature.
· Follow “Preparing Your Grill for First Use” to ensure the grill is safe for
operation.
· Follow “Lighting Instructions” to start the grill, then turn the controller
to “High”.
· Close the lid and allow the grill to maintain at least 205°C for about ten
minutes.
· Open the lid, set the controller to the desired temperature. Close the lid
once the temperature is close to the desired setting.
· Cook food as desired. (See “Cooking Instructions” below)
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
The pellet grill has two modes of controlling the pellet feeding speed, the
Cook Mode and the Smoke Mode. The Cook Mode is for grilling or slow cooking
methods, while the Smoke Mode is for smoking and adding flavour to foods being
prepared.
COOK MODE
After the grill is properly lit, turn the controller to the desired cooking
temperature. The grill will automatically maintain the set temperature by
adding pellet fuel to the fire pot when needed by monitoring the internal
grill temperature. It is therefore important to keep the lid closed for the
grill to function properly. Note: The maximum temperature the grill can
achieve is influenced by the ambient temperature. In colder weather the grill
may not be able to achieve the highest temperatures and it will feed pellets
continually to try to reach the set temperature.
21
GRILL MODE
Set Temperature
Turn the controller to the desired cooking temperature after following the
“Lighting Instructions”. This target temperature will be displayed with “SET”,
indicating that the controller is set to standard cooking mode.
Actual Temperature
The internal temperature of the grill is displayed in onedegree increments. It
is measured by a thermocouple mounted inside the grill. Since this measurement
is electronic and it is not near the lid gauge, the displayed temperature may
not match the lid gauge.
CAUTION! After cooking at high temperatures for an extended time, do not immediately unplug or turn the controller OFF. Set the grill into SMOKE mode and allow up to 15 minutes for the grill temperature to fall. Then turn the controller to OFF to enter shut down mode. Doing so lowers the temperature, preventing charring, smoking and burning pellets in the auger tube.
22
SMOKE MODE
After following the “Lighting Instructions”, press the M/P button to select
the desired type of smoking (see chart on next page). The setting will be
displayed in the upper left of the screen.
Smoke Pre-set Selector M/P Button
Note: experiment in various smoke mode pre-sets to better understand how the smoker functions, cooking temperatures and time before preparing food for the first time. There may be some discrepancy between the digital temperature displayed and the lid gauge temperature.
The following table represents the pre-set smoking modes showing the relation of smoke produced to the cooking temperature. A higher pre-set level will product more smoke but a lower cooking temperature.
Smoke Mode Setting P0 P1 P2 P3
Smoke Produced LOW
HIGH
Cooking Temperature HIGH
LOW
WARNING
NEVER add wood pellets to the fire pot whilst it is hot or in use! Serious
injury could result.
23
POST COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Following each cooking session, it is recommended to operate the grill at a
high temperature to burn off excess residue and juices and help maintain a
clean appliance (similar to a self-cleaning oven).
1. Turn the controller to “High”. 2. With the lid closed, allow the grill to
operate 5 to 15 minutes, depending
on what was cooked or the amount of residue/grease on the grates. 3. Turn OFF
the grill (see “Shutdown Instructions”). 4. Using a long-handled grill-
cleaning brush, scrape clean the cooking grates. 5. Once the grill has
properly shut down and cooled, unplug the power cord
and properly store the grill in a safe, dry place away from children and pets.
MEAT PROBE CONNECTION AND USE
The meat probe is a thermal sensor which connects to the controller in the
PROBE socket. When the Meat Probe is placed into food, you can view the
temperature by pressing the M/P button on the controller for a few seconds.
The current measured temperature will be displayed for three seconds, after
which the display will return to the default reading. The probe socket is
usually covered with a protective rubber cover which will need removing. To
extend the life of the controller, return the rubber cover to the socket when
not in use A Port Cover is provided on the side of the grill enabling the Meat
Probe to be passed through the grill and into the racking. Pull any loose wire
back out of the grill and close the Port Cover. (See step 13 of assembly
instructions)
Note: When not in use the Meat Probe should be kept indoor, out of the reach
of children and pets.
Only the supplied Meat Probe is compatible with this controller. Please
contact Customer Support if you need a replacement.
24
COOKING TIPS
WOOD PELLETS
· Only use wood pellets specifically made for barbecues, not heat grade
pellets. · Barbecue wood pellets should be 100% all-natural wood and come in a
variety
of wood types which will add flavour to the food you are cooking or smoking. ·
If possible use fresh pellets for each cooking session to ensure they burn
properly, giving off enough heat and smoke flavour. · Remember to follow the
preparation steps each time you use the grill and
properly fill the auger with pellets. · Store unused wood pellets in a safe,
dry place, preferably in a moisture proof
plastic container with a resealable lid.
GRILLING
· Preheat the grill before setting the desired grilling temperature or
entering smoke mode. This will not only get the grids hot, but also help the
grids and other parts remain hygienic.
· Clean or wipe off cooking grids prior to use to help reduce food stains or
flare ups.
· Ensure the grease bucket is clean before each use. To make clean up easier,
place aluminium foil inside the bucket as a liner.
· Never spray vegetable oil onto hot cooking grids. · Keep the lid closed
while grilling or smoking. The pellet system operates
based off the internal temperature of the grill. · For long cook times,
periodically look into the pellet hopper to check the
level of wood pellets. Add more pellets as needed. DO NOT reach into the
hopper while the grill is operating. · Practice makes perfect. As with any
smoker or grill, the more you use it, the more you understand the cooking
temperatures and performance. · If you pre-cook meat or poultry, do so
immediately before grilling. · Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and hot
water prior to handling food, and after handling raw meat, uncooked poultry or
seafood. · Never defrost meat at room temperature or on a counter top. · When
using a platter to carry raw meat, uncooked poultry or seafood, make sure to
wash the platter thoroughly with soap and hot water before placing cooked
foods back on the platter. · Never use the same utensils when handling raw
meat, uncooked poultry or seafood unless you wash the utensils thoroughly with
soap and hot water. · Never re-use marinade from raw meat or uncooked poultry
on foods that have been cooked and are ready to serve.
25
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE GRILL BODY Use warm, soapy water to clean the inside and outside
of the grill body with a cloth and then wipe it dry. Treat the interior
surface of the grill body with a light coat of vegetable oil and then wipe it
dry periodically to prevent rusting. DO NOT use oven cleaners, abrasive
cleaners or abrasive cleaning pads on the surface of the grill body.
CLEANING THE COOKING GRATES AND GREASE TRAY With a cloth use warm, soapy water
to wash the cooking grates and grease tray and then wipe them dry. Lightly
coating them with vegetable or olive oil will help prevent corrosion. After
removing food and when grates are still hot, carefully brush the cooking
grates with a long-handled cleaning brush. Wear oven mitts or gloves when
around the hot grill.
CLEANING THE GREASE BUCKET For easier cleaning, line the bucket with aluminium
foil. Periodically clean or replace the aluminium foil liner. Keep excess
grease out of the grease bucket and the grease bucket the interior of the
grill. If too much collects a grease fire could result.
REMOVING WOOD PELLET ASH Depending on use, periodically remove wood pellet ash
that has collected into the fire pot, the grill body and other parts. The
grill COLD and UNPLUGGED. Remove the cooking grates and grease tray for access
to the fire pot and grill body interior using a heavy-duty vacuum.
STORING THE GRILL Disconnect the power cord and store the grill in a dry, safe
place away from children and pets. If the grill is stored outdoors, make
certain it is properly protected to prevent water from entering the hopper and
grill body interior. A cover can be bought from the stockist using the
reference BBQCP. If possible do not leave wood pellets in the hopper during
storage.
PAINT AND CORROSION Never apply pain to the interior surfaces. Rust spots on
the interior surface can be buffed, cleaned and then lightly coated with
vegetable oil. Maintaining a light coat of oil will help minimise rusting. To
protect against excessive rust, keep the grill clean and covered at all times
when not in use.

Grill is getting too hot
Excess smoke from chamber or chimney
Operating temperature set too high. Auger runs continuously. Grease fire
Temperature or digital display does not match “set” temperature
LCD screen does not illuminate.
Outdoor temperature, Lid open
Missing or incorrect power supply. LCD screen failure. Blown fuse on circuit
board.
SOLUTION Verify meat probe is properly connected to the controller. If
possible, disconnect power and re-start. Verify there are pellets in the
Pellet Hopper and they are not stuck on the side walls. If they are stuck,
gently tap the side walls to shake them loose, or add more pellets. If the
grill has run out of pellets allow up to five minutes for them to travel to
the fire pot. Verify the auger motor is running. Unplug the grill and wait
until cool. The open the cooking chamber, use caution to remove the cooking
grates, grease drain pan and flame tamer from inside the grill. Then remove
all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the fire pot. A heavy-duty
vacuum is ideal for this task. Reset RCD, check circuit breaker/fuse. Turn
controller to “OFF” then “SMOKE” again. Replace max fuse size: 5x20mm 5A.
Adjust the controller to a higher temperature. Open grill lid only when
necessary. Inspect hopper for pellets and fire pot for ash. DO NOT touch any
HOT parts. Adjust the controller to a lower temperature.
Some smoke is normal, but if excessive and the temperature has increased this
is a grease fire. Turn OFF and unplug the power cord. The fire should
extinguish itself. If it continues, call the Fire Service. Close the grill lid
and allow up to 15 minutes for the temperature to stabilise. Operating the
grill in very cold conditions may affect the performance. Ensure the grill is
properly connected to a working RCD supplying 220-240V AC. If the display has
failed, contact Customer Support for a replacement controller. Inspect and
replace the 5A fuse. (See circuit board diagram for information)

Turn the grill OFF the unplug the power cord and allow grill to cool. Clean grill interior, remove excess pellets from fire pot and confirm positioning of all component parts. Unplug the power cord and allow grill to cool. Ensure grill probe wiring is properly connected and inspect for possible damage. 1. Turn controller to OFF, wait 2 minutes, then select desired temperature. This is a safety feature that prevents an inadvertent start. 2. Turn off grill and unplug the power cord, then restart the grill to light. Turn off grill, unplug power cord to reset the controller. After a few seconds, connect power cord and restart grill. This is NOT an error. It is used to show that the unit is in start-up mode. Ensure unit is plugged in. Verify there is power at the mains / RCD. Check the operation of the RCD. If igniter is not working check the 5A fuse on the back of the controller. Replace if necessary. Ensure controller is in off position. Turn controller to SMOKE. LCD screen will light up. Remove warming rack, cooking grates, grease tray and flame tamer. Turn unit on and visually inspect the igniter. Start unit using Lighting Instructions. If not working call Customer Support for replacement parts. Remove cooking grate, grease drain pan and flame tamer. Turn unit on and visually inspect the auger feed. Remove Control Board and inspect the wires and connections. If not working call customer services for a replacement Auger motor. Remove Control Board, inspect the wires and connections. If no issues found, contact Customer Support for replacement Control Board. With the grill set to “Smoke”, press the M/P button to select a higher pre-set. Refer to the table shown on page 26 Use the grill in a shaded area wherever possible. Briefly open the grill lid to help reduce the temperature if needed.

Grill will not achieve Insufficient air flow through or maintain a stable fire
pot. temperature.
Insufficient or pool fuel.
Dirty or blocked temperature sensor. Improper control settings.
Check the fire pot for as build-up or obstructions. Verify the blower fan
motor is functioning, the air intake is not blocked and that the auger tube
does not have a blockage. Perform a quick test. Remove the cooking grate,
grease drain pan and flame tamer. Ensure all the above has been done, start
the grill, turn the controller to “High” and wait for 15 minutes. Check that
the flame produced is bright and vibrant. Verify the hoper is full of wood
pellets made for barbecues. Feel the pellets to ascertain that they are dry.
If wet, remove all pellets and replace with dry wood pellets for barbecues.
Clean the temperature sensor and verify it is not blocked or covered.
Ensure smoke pre-set setting is correct in SMOKE mode.
Grill produces excess Excess grease build-up or
or discoloured
dirty components
smoke
Excess of ash in the fire pot.
When the grill is cool, remove and properly clean the components. It is good practice to “burn off” excess food after each use by setting controller to “High” after food has been removed. Allow to cook about ten minutes and properly shut down the grill. When grill is cool remove ash from the fire pot using a heavy-duty vacuum.
Frequent flare-ups
Improper cooking temperature.
Temperature variance or unstable temperature (especially following ignition)
Too many pellets in fire pot.
When cooking very greasy foods, keep the temperature under 180°C to reduce
flare-ups. Avoid putting greasy foods directly above the fire pot area.
Adjust the controller to a lower temperature and allow the cooking temperature
to stabilise. This could take several minutes. Once the cooking temperature
matches the set temperature (within several degrees) set the new desired
cooking temperature.
