Yoder YS 640
Startup Procedure
(When using the Yoder with the heat diuser/drip plate in position, it is best to start
your grill 20 to 30 minutes prior to cooking. This allows the grill and cooking grates to
heat completely improving heat retention and recovery when opening the cover during
cooking.)
1. Conrm the power switch is in the “o” position.
2. Plug the female end of the cord in the receptacle on the back of the pellet hopper.
Plug the male end into a 120 volt, 15 amp GFCI-protected receptacle. If an extension
cord is required, see caution notes (Page 4).
3. Load the hopper with “food grade” pellets. DO NOT use heating grade pellets. The
hopper will hold 20 pounds of pellets allowing 5 to 13 hours of cooking depending on
cooking temperatures, ambient temperatures, wind condition and whether or not the
optional thermal jacket is installed.
4. Open the cooking chamber door.
5. Remove the cooking grates and heat diuser/drip plate.
