Keep the area clear of all combustible
material and flammable liquids,
including wood, dry plants and grass,
brush, paper, and canvas.
• Use only on a level, stable non-
combustible surface like bricks, concrete
or dirt. Do not use this appliance on any
surface that will burn or melt like wood,
asphalt, vinyl or plastic.
• Make sure burner clean-out is closed
before starting the pellet grill.
• Make sure the grease bucket is in place
before starting the pellet grill.
OPERATION:
• Do NOT leave this appliance
unattended while in use. The user must
remain in the immediate area of the
product and have a clear view of the
product at all times during operation.
• Keep children and pets away from

• The use of alcohol, prescription or
non-prescription drugs may impair your
ability to properly assemble or safely
operate this appliance.
• For OUTDOOR use only. Do NOT
use in a building, garage or any other
enclosed area. Do NOT use in or on
recreational vehicles or boats. NEVER
use this appliance as a heater.
• Keep the lid closed during cooking.
• In the event of a fire the dial should be

leave it closed until the fire goes out.
After allowing the pellet grill to cool,
follow the cleaning instructions before
the next use.
• Do not use accessories not specified
for use with appliance.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type
lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal
lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start
or freshen up a fire in this appliance.
Keep all such liquids well away from the
appliance when in use.
• This product is not intended for
commercial use.
PELLETS:
• Use only food grade hardwood pellets
manufactured for use in pellet grills.
Using softwood or heating pellets will
void your warranty.
• It is recommended that you not store
pellets in the hopper for extended
periods as they may absorb moisture
from the air and clog the auger.
• Do not allow the hopper to run out
of pellets. Pellets can be added
at any time. The hopper will hold
approximately 30 pounds of pellets.
The pellet usage will vary greatly
depending on the ambient temperature
as well as cooking temperature.
CLEANING:
• Creosote – Formation and need for
removal. When wood pellets are
burned slowly, they produce tar and
other organic vapors that combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors 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 every 50
hours of cooking 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.
• Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be
placed on a non-combustible floor
or on the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final
disposal. When the ashes are disposed
by burial in soil or otherwise locally
dispersed they should be retained in
the closed container until all cinders
have thoroughly cooled.
STORAGE:
• Always allow the appliance to cool
before covering with the cover.
• Always cover the appliance, with cover
(if supplied), when not in use.
• Always unplug pellet grill before
installing patio cover.
