Operating Instructions

PRE-SEASONING

Pre-seasoning will rid your grill of chemicals and oils left over by the manufacturing process. PRE-SEASON GRILL PRIOR TO FIRST USE.

1. Fill the hopper with charcoal approximately 1/4–1/2 full.
2. Start grill following the START-UP instructions and set the temperature to 250°F (121°C) for 60 minutes.
3. After 60 minutes set the temperature to 400°F (204°C) for 30 minutes.
4. Shut down the grill following the SHUTDOWN instructions.
5. Allow grill to cool COMPLETELY.
6. Using a napkin or cloth, rub a light coat of cooking oil on grates, sear plate, warming racks, and the inside of the grill lid and body. Use caution, the grill will be HOT to the touch.
7. Repeat steps 3–6 at 350°F (175°C).

Frequent seasoning prevents rusting. If rusting occurs, clean with a steel brush, apply vegetable shortening and heat as indicated above.

REGULAR START-UP

1. Plug the grill in and power ON the controller.

2. DO NOT LOAD CHARCOAL UNTIL STEP 5.

3. Press the auto ignite button to preheat the ignitor:
   a. Ignite button should now be flashing.
   b. Controller display should be flashing 450F (232C).

4. Scroll controller knob to change desired temperature.
   a. Temperature Selection Options:
   • Press the set temp button to select the temperature shown on the display.
   • If you do not scroll the knob, the controller will auto select the temp on display (default temp 450F / 232C).

5. Fill the MiniHopper with charcoal (no more than 7lbs/3kgs of briquette or 5lbs/2.25kgs of lump).

6. Close the hopper lid and grill lid.

7. Wait for the auto ignite button to stop flashing (this should take approximately 45 seconds).

8. Place 1 fire starter in the fire starter holder (see fig. 1)
   

9. Slide the fire starter tray into the lower hopper until it stops and close the door.

10. The grill will need to run a startup sequence; it may take a few moments for the fan to turn on

IGNITOR TIPS:
a. Flashing ignitor button = ignitor preheating (DO NOT load fire starter while the ignitor is preheating).
b. Solid ignitor button = igniter is ON/hot.
c. Ignitor will not turn ON if grill is above 200F (93C).
d. IF temp is already set, ignitor will not prompt you to set temp.
e. Any time the ignitor is activated, the grill will run the startup sequence. During this sequence the fan will not run by PID. Fan will return to PID after the startup sequence completes. The startup sequence is approximately 8 minutes.

NOTE: For proper fire starter ignition, it is important to follow the steps listed above in the proper sequence. Failure to follow the steps may result in a failed startup procedure.
