- Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of consciousness and death.
- See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
- Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
- Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anaemia, or heart disease.
※ Creosote – Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets are burned
slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapours that combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours condense in a relatively cool
oven flue and exhaust hood of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining and exhaust hood. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
※ The grease duct should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when
grease and/ or creosote build-up has occurred.
※ When grease or creosote has accumulated , it should be removed to reduce
risk of fire.
※ Do not burn for a long time to prevent the product from overheating.

grill and operate at 350°F for half an hour to season the grill. Cooking Once
the grill is ignited, you can begin cooking by selecting any of the cooking
temperatures.
Cooking
should be done with the hood closed only. If the hood is left open the feed
rate will increase and the temperature will overshoot. You should cook all
meat using the meat probe to ensure that the internal temperature of the meet
reaches the recommended temperature for the finish desired.
Meat Probes
This pellet grill has a built in meat probe to measure the temperature of the
food as it is being cooked. To use the meat probe, first insert the meat probe
into the food, then plug the connectors into the connection port (P1 or P2)
under the hopper cap. The temperature is displayed on the PID screen.
Cleaning
Clean grates using a wire grill brush. This should be done with each use. DO
NOT use oven cleaner or abrasive cleaners on the painted grill surfaces. Use
warm soapy water on all painted surfaces. Clean grease pan, grease trough, and
grease drain tube occasionally. A spatula can be used to scrape excess grease
and a grill brush to brush clean. Do not allow grease to build up on the
grease tray or in the grease trough as this can cause flare-ups inside the
grill. Make sure not to obstruct the flow of grease off to the tray and into
the grease trough. Make sure not to block the airflow to the temperature
sensor on the left side of the grill.
