USER MANUAL 60865 Louisiana Grills

WARNING: Please read the entire manual before installation and use of this electric, pellet fuel-

burning appliance. Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death. Contact local building or fire oicials about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

You must contact your local home association, building or fire oicials, or authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any grill being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area. 1. A minimum clearance of 457 mm (18 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 457 mm (18 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliance on combustible floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This wood pellet appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your grill in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. Should a grease fire occur, turn the grill o and leave the lid closed until the fire is out. Unplug the power cord. Do not throw water on the unit. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department. 2. Keep electrical supply cords and the fuel supply hose away from heated surfaces. Do not use your grill in the rain or around any water source. 3. Aer a period of storage, or non-use, check the burn grate for obstructions, the hopper for foreign objects, and any air blockage around the fan intake, chimney, or rear barrel exhaust holes. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit. If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season or seasons of high humidity, care should be taken to insure that water does not get into the hopper. When wet or exposed to high humidity, wood pellets will expand greatly, decompose, and may jam the feed system. Always disconnect the power, before performing any service or maintenance. Do not transport your grill while in use or while the grill is hot. Ensure the fire is completely out and that the grill is completely cool to the touch before moving. 4. It is recommended to use heat-resistant barbecue mitts or gloves when operating the grill. Do not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance. Do not put a barbecue cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the barbecue. 5. To prevent injury or damage to the auger, the appliance features a metal hopper safety screen. This screen must not be removed unless directed by Customer Care or an authorized dealer. This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.3 ENGLISH

6. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use.

7. Do not enlarge burn grate orifices, igniter holes or fire pots. Failure to follow this warning could lead to a fire hazard and bodily harm and will void your warranty.

8. Product may have sharp edges or points. Contact may result in injury. Handle with care.

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 ashes are disposed by burial in soil, or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in a closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

This pellet cooking appliance is designed and approved for pelletized, all natural, wood fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this appliance will void the warranty and safety listing. You must only use all natural wood pellets, designed for burning in pellet barbecue grills. Do not use fuel with additives. Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill. Keep all such liquids well away from the appliance when in use. At this time of printing, there is no industry standard for barbecue wood pellets, although most pellet mills use the same standards to make wood pellets for domestic use. Further information, can be found at www.pelletheat.org or the Pellet Fuel Institute

Contact your local dealer on the quality of pellets in your area, and for information on brand quality. As there is no control over the quality of pellets used, we assume no responsibility to damage caused by poor quality of fuel. CREOSOTE Creosote, or soot, is a tar-like substance. When burning, it produces black smoke with a residue which is also black in color. Soot or creosote is formed when the appliance is operated incorrectly, such as: incorrect position of the burn grate, blockage of the combustion fan, failure to clean and maintain the burn area, or poor air-to-fuel combustion. It is dangerous to operate this appliance should the flame become dark, sooty, or if the fire pot is overfilled with pellets. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot and uncontrolled fire, similar to a grease fire. Should this happen, turn the unit o, let it cool completely, then inspect for maintenance and cleaning. It commonly accumulates along exhaust areas. If creosote has formed within the unit; allow the unit to warm up at a low temperature, turn o the appliance, then wipe away any formation with a hand towel. Similar to tar, it is much easier to clean when warm, as it becomes liquid. CARBON MONOXIDE (“the silent killer”) Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:

• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is oen detected too late.

• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the eects 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 anemia, or heart disease.4 ENGLISH SAFETY LISTING In accordance with the procedures and specifications listed in the UL SUBJECT - "pellet fuel cooking appliances" and ULC/ORD C- "for electrical features of fuel burning equipment."

MAJOR CAUSES OF APPLIANCE FIRES ARE A RESULT OF POOR MAINTENANCE AND A FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS PRODUCT BE INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE TO THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. Building an outdoor kitchen is possible with the right planning and measurements. Good air ventilation, clearance from combustibles, and proper care and maintenance are key factors to consider before installation. IMPORTANT: As a built-in project is complex, we recommend knowing the dimensions of your appliance before attempting installation. It is also highly recommended to seek assistance of trade professionals when planning your outdoor cooking space. As simple or elaborate as your project may be, each contractor will have concerns regarding the placement of materials, safety clearances, proper ventilation, electric routing, etc.

. PREPARING THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE

The unit has been designed to sit in a cavity, or cutout, of an outdoor kitchen. Planning and proper care should be made to ensure there is suicient air ventilation for the unit to operate properly in the support structure. Note illustration 1A.Prepare a masonry support structure, such as brick, building stone, cast stone, or concrete block. Other non-combustible support structures, such as cement base board, metal studs or framing may also be used. The unit can be installed without additional insulation; however, proper care must be taken to ensure that it is not installed under or on any combustible materials. Parts Required:2 x Air Register Vent Cover (#A1) Installation: • Install the air register vent covers to the air ventilation openings. Choose a fastener appropriate to your support structure material (hardware not included). ASSEMBLY PREPARATION Parts are located throughout the shipping carton, including underneath the grill. Inspect the grill, parts, and hardware blister pack aer removing from the protective shipping carton. Discard all packaging materials from inside and outside of the grill before assembly, then review and inspect all parts by referencing the parts list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble. Shipping damage is not covered under warranty. Contact your dealer or Louisiana Grills Customer Care for parts.

Poor/lack of air ventilation in the support structure will result in damage to your outdoor kitchen and appliance. IMPORTANT: Appropriate planning is required to support the floor of the support structure without compromising the air supply ventilation and connection to power. The support structure must be able to support a minimum of 181.4 kg / 40 0lbs.

• A minimum clearance of 457 mm (18 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the grill, and 457 mm (18 inches) from the back of the grill to combustible constructions must be maintained. Note illustration B. IMPORTANT: If installing an exhaust fan above the appliance, ensure the fan hood is a minimum of 15cm / 6" wider, on each side, than the front width of the appliance. As your unit is designed to produce smoke, it is better to oversize the ventilation system to compensate.

. INSTALLING THE MAIN GRILL

Parts Required: 1 x Main Grill (#6) Installation:

• Using a minimum of two people, li the base of the main grill on opposing sides. IMPORTANT: The unit is heavy. Failure to use two people could result in injury or damage to the appliance.

• Place the main grill carefully into the support structure. The unit should sit level and centered in the space, unfastened to the support structure, allowing for easy maintenance. Allow the power cord to pass through the air supply ventilation, ensuring that the cord is not pinched in any way. TIP: The smoke that exits the rear grill vents can quickly blacken brick work and other surfaces. Install a removable backsplash for easy cleaning.

• Continue installation with Step 3 of the LG860C Assembly Instructions

Parts Required: 2 x Side Shelf (#9) 6 x Tool Hook (#B)6 x Screw (#B)Installation: • Align tool hook with a set of holes on the outside edge of the side shelf. From underneath, secure the tool hook with a screw, using the bottom hole as an anchor for proper took hook alignment. Secure the other two tool hooks on same the edge. Repeat same installation for other side shelf.

2. MOUNTING THE SIDE SHELVES

Parts Required: 10 x Screw (#B)Installation: • Each side shelf requires five screws to mount to the unit. From underneath, secure the side shelf to the side panel of the main grill.NOTE: Do not tighten any screws completely until all screws have been installed. Once all screws are installed, then tighten securely.• Repeat same installation for other side shelf.IMPORTANT: Avoid using the side shelves to move or li the grill. The weight of the unit will cause the side shelf to break, which is not covered by warranty.

3. INSERTING THE GREASE TRAY

Parts Required:1 x Grease Tray (#7) Installation: • Slide the grease tray into the tray opening on the front panel of the unit. The grease tray is completely inserted once the front of the tray is flush with the front panel of the unit.

4. POSITIONING THE BURN GRATE

Parts Required: 1 x Burn Grate (#5) Installation: • A proper placement of the burn grate is vital to the use of the unit. Insert the burn grate into the fire pot. The hole in the burn grate should align and be open for the igniter to light the pellets. To verify proper positioning, ensure the lip of the burn grate is flush with the top of the fire pot.11 ENGLISH

Parts Required: 4 x Cooking Grids (#2) 1 x Upper Cooking Rack (#1) 1 x Flame Broiler Diuser (#4) 1 x Flame Broiler Slider (#3) Installation: NOTE: Both flame broiler parts are lightly coated with oil to avoid rusting when shipped.• Insert the flame broiler main plate into the grill barrel. Rest the flame broiler main plate on the built-in ledge, right side first, of the main grill that directs grease towards the grease tray. Slide the entire piece to the le side, and the tray will lock into the raised tab above the burn grate. Note illustration A. The flame broiler main plate is used to distribute the heat evenly.• Place the flame broiler slider on top of the flame broiler main plate, covering the slotted openings. Ensure the raised tab is on the le, to easily adjust for direct or indirect flame when cooking. Note illustration B. NOTE: If the flame broiler main plate lays flat, on the base of the barrel, it is installed incorrectly. The flame broiler should set at an angle, with the le side sitting higher than the right.• Place the cooking grids, side-by-side, on the grid ledge inside the main barrel. Place the upper cooking rack on the upper ledge inside the main barrel, locking into place, in the forward or receded position.• The unit is now completely assembled. IMPORTANT: To maintain the searing and grilling performance of your cooking grids, regular care and maintenance is required. Wipe all stainless steel surfaces – before use – to avoid any dirt, dust or oil from cooking into the metal surface and causing discoloration during use.

STANDARD OUTLET This unit requires 110-120 volt, 60hz, 375w, service. It must be a 3-prong grounded plug. Ensure grounded end is not broken o. The control uses a 110-120 volt, fast-blow fuse to protect the board from the igniter.

GFCI OUTLETS This unit works on most GFCI outlets, with a recommended size of 15 amp service. If the GFCI outlet is highly sensitive to power surges, it will likely trip during the start-up phase of operation. During the start-up phase, the igniter draws 300-700 watts of electricity which can be too much power for a GFCI outlet to handle. Each time the GFCI trips, it increases in sensitivity. If the GFCI keeps tripping, replace the outlet or change to a non-GFCI outlet.IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to rewire the appliance directly to a power source unless there is a separate breaker switch near the appliance, clearly marked for emergency shut-o. Turn power OFF when being serviced, or when appliance is not in use.12 ENGLISH OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS With today’s lifestyle of striving to eat healthy and nutritious foods, one factor to consider is the importance of reducing fat intake. One of the best ways to cut down on fat in your diet is to use a low fat method of cooking, such as grilling. As a pellet grill uses natural wood pellets, the savory wood flavor is cooked into the meats, reducing the need for high sugar content sauces. GRILL ENVIRONMENT

With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your grill and the cooking time needed to perfect your meals. Extreme cold weather conditions may aect maximal temperature output. All Louisiana Grills units should keep a minimum clearance of 457mm (18 inches) from combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. To eectively assist your grill in achieving proper temperature output, maintain heat retention, and heat recovery time when the lid is open, it is recommended to shelter your unit from the wind. In addition, adjusting the positioning of your grill by rotating a quarter turn – keeping the air exhaust holes (vents) out of the wind – will result in better temperature control and output.

COLD WEATHER COOKING

As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of smoked foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the cooler months:• If smoking at low temperatures fails, increase the temperature slightly to achieve the same results.

• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your grill to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your grill in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to help you determine what to cook and how long it will take. • In very cold weather, increase your preheating time by at least 20 minutes.
• Avoid liing the lid any more than necessary. Cold gusts of wind can completely cool your grill temperature. Be flexible with your serving time; add extra cooking time each time you open the lid.• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
• Ideal foods for winter cooking are those that require little attention, such as roasts, whole chickens, ribs, and turkey. Make your meal preparation even easier by adding simple items such as vegetables and potatoes.

As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your grill throughout the hot months:• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.

• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat from over cooking and drying out.• Even in hot weather it is still better to cook with the lid of your grill down.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stu crumpled up newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.13 ENGLISH

GRILL TEMPERATURE RANGES

Temperature readouts on the control board may not exactly match the dome thermometer. All temperatures listed below are approximate and are aected by the following factors: outside ambient temperature, the amount and direction of wind, the quality of pellet fuel being used, the lid being opened, and the quantity of food being cooked.

HIGH TEMPERATURE (-°C / -°F) This range is best used to sear and grill at a high heat. Use in tandem with the flame broiler (slide plate) for indirect or direct flame cooking. With the flame broiler open, direct flame is used to create those “blue” steaks, as well as flame-kissed vegetables, garlic toast or s’mores! When the flame broiler is closed, the air circulates around the barrel, resulting in convection heat. High temperature is also used to preheat your grill, burn-o the cooking grids, and to achieve high heat in extreme cold weather conditions.

MEDIUM TEMPERATURE (-°C / -°F) This range is best for baking, roasting, and finishing o that slow smoked creation. Cooking at these temperatures will greatly reduce the chances of a grease flare-up. Ensure that the flame broiler slider in the closed position, covering the slotted openings. Great range for cooking anything wrapped in bacon, or where you want versatility with control.

LOW TEMPERATURE (-°C / -°F) This range is used to slow roast, increase smoky flavor, and to keep foods warm. Infuse more smoke flavor and keep your meats juicy by cooking longer at a lower temperature (also known as low and slow). Recommended for the big turkey at Thanksgiving, juicy ham at Easter, or the huge holiday feast. Smoking is a variation on true barbecuing, and is truly the main advantage of grilling on a wood pellet grill. Hot smoking, another name for low and slow cooking, is generally done at 82-125°C / 180-257°F. Hot smoking works best when longer cooking time is required, such as large cuts of meats, fish, or poultry. TIP: To intensify that savory flavor, switch to a low temperature range immediately aer preheating your grill. This allows the smoke to penetrate the meats. The key is to experiment with the length of time you allow for smoking, before the meal is finished cooking. Some outdoor chefs prefer to smoke at the end of a cook, allowing the food to keep warm until ready to serve. Practice makes perfect! UNDERSTANDING AIRFLOW AND THE AUGER FEED SYSTEM The heart of your grill lies in the relationship between the fan-forced convection airflow and the functionality of the auger feed system. The combustion/cooling fan blows air through the system, allowing the hot igniter air to light the pellets and catch fire in the burn grate. The auger feed system will continue to cycle on and o, feeding pellets to the burn grate.To ensure the combustion air holes (airflow) in the burn grate are not clogged, proper maintenance and cleaning of this area is essential. If the grill is not achieving the desired temperature, check to ensure the burn grate holes are clear. TIP: The grill can run eiciently over extended periods of time as long as there is dry and suicient fuel, proper airflow, and the cooking components are clean.The unique design of the Louisiana Grills airflow system allows the majority of fly ash to be directed toward the bottom of the barrel, while directing the fan-forced convection heat to circulate around the main grill barrel.This type of airflow allows for dierent quality of pellets to be used while reducing the possibility of fuel blockage and jams in the auger feed system.

UNDERSTANDING THE DIGITAL CONTROL CENTER

This P.I.D. (proportional-integral-derivative) control is very much the same as the controls on your kitchen oven. The main advantages are the ability to automatically compensate for the dierent ambient conditions and fuel types. IMPORTANT: The temperature inside of any grill will vary greatly from location to location. Even instruments calibrated together may not agree with each other. CONTROL DESCRIPTION Press the Power Button to power on the unit, which begins the automatic start-up cycle. Also used to turn the unit o, activating the cool-down cycle. Press and hold the Prime Button to activate an extra feed of pellets to the burn grate. This can be used to add more fuel to the fire before opening the barrel lid, resulting in a quick heat recovery time. It can also be used while smoking, to increase the intensity of clean smoke flavor. Requested from competition cookers. The Temperature Adjust Arrows allow you to set your desired smoking temperature. By pressing the UP or DOWN arrows, the temperature displayed on the LED read-out can be adjusted by 5 degree increments. The temperature can be set to a low 82°C / 180°F, and peaks at a high of 315°C /600°F. Also used to adjust the desired temperature of the meat probe. The LED Screen is used as the information center for your unit. The LED screen will display your Desired Cook Temperature (Setpoint), Actual Cook Temperature, Meat Probe Temperature (if connected), and any error messages. Temperature can be displayed in either Fahrenheit or Celsius. Press the Temp Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the ACTUAL temperature or the SETPOINT temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to indicate which temperature is presently being displayed. Press the Probe Button on the Digital Control Centre to display the GRILL temperature or the MEAT probe temperature on the LED Screen. The small LED light beside both settings is used to indicate which probe temperature is presently being displayed. The plug-in connection port on the front of the Digital Control Center is for a Meat Probe. When the meat probe is connected, the temperature is displayed on the LED Screen. When not in use, disconnect the meat probe from the connection port. Includes one (1) meat probe. Compatible with Louisiana Grills branded meat probes only.15 ENGLISH

RILL PROBE The grill probe measures the internal temperature of the main grill. When the grill temperature is adjusted, the grill probe will read the actual (current) temperature inside the grill to adjust to the desired temperature.IMPORTANT: The temperature of your unit is highly dependent on ambient outdoor weather, quality of pellets used, flavor of pellets, and the quantity of food being cooked.To adjust the SETPOINT temperature of the grill, press the PROBE button to indicate that the GRILL probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the SETPOINT temperature is selected, and press the UP or DOWN Temperature Adjust Arrows, adjusting by five degree increments, to your desired temperature. To view the ACTUAL temperature of the grill, press the PROBE button to indicate that the GRILL probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the ACTUAL temperature is selected, and displayed on the LED screen.

MEAT PROBE (PROGRAMMABLE) The meat probe measures the internal temperature of your meat on the grill, similar to your indoor oven. Plug-in the adapter to the meat probe connection port and insert the stainless steel meat probe into the thickest portion of your meat. Not only will it cook the meat to your desired temperature, but it will automatically reduce your grill temperature to low (82°C / 180°F) to keep food warm until ready to serve. Just set it, then relax while the probe does the rest!NOTE: When placing the meat probe into your meat, ensure the meat probe and meat probe wires avoid direct contact with flame or excess heat. This can result in damage to your meat probe. Run the excess wire out the rear exhaust holes of the main grill, the top of the main grill (near the grill lid hinge), or through the front hole near the hopper. When not in use, disconnect from the meat probe connection port, and place in the holes on the hopper handle to keep protected and clean. To adjust the SETPOINT temperature of the meat probe, press the PROBE button to indicate that the MEAT probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the SETPOINT temperature is selected, and press the UP or DOWN Temperature Adjust Arrows, adjusting by five degree increments, to your desired temperature of your meat when done. To view the ACTUAL temperature of the meat probe, press the PROBE button to indicate that the MEAT probe temperature is presently being displayed. Press the TEMP button to indicate that the ACTUAL temperature is selected, and displayed on the LED screen.TIP: Based on how long you will be away from the grill, set your desired temperature 10 to 15 degrees below your liking, as the food will continue to rise in temperature, as the grill cools, and idles at the lowest temperature. Ensure it is inserted all the way into the plug. You will feel and hear it snap in place. SET-UP PROCEDURE These instructions should be followed the first time the grill is ignited (aer grill burn-o), and aer every few uses, to ensure proper ignition: 1. Remove all cooking components, and the burn grate, from the interior of the grill. Inspect the fire pot to ensure it is clear of debris. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the feed system or hopper. 2. Replace the burn grate into the fire pot. Ensure the hole in the burn grate is facing the igniter to light the pellets, and the lip of the burn grate should be flush with the top of the fire pot.3. Re-install the cooking components into grill. The grill is now ready to use.16 ENGLISH

FIRST USE – GRILL BURN-OFF

Before cooking on your grill for the first time, it is important to complete a grill burn-o. Start the grill and operate any temperature over 176°C / 350°F, with the lid down, for 30 to 40 minutes to burn-o the grill and rid it of any foreign matter.

AUTOMATIC START-UP PROCEDURE

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the main barrel lid. Check the burn grate to ensure there is

no obstruction for proper ignition. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.

2. With the barrel lid closed, turn the unit on by pressing the Power Button. This will activate the

start-up cycle : the feed system will begin to turn, the fan will start, and the igniter will begin to get hot. The grill will produce smoke while the start-up cycle is taking place. The pellets will have successfully ignited once the smoke has cleared. The start-up cycle lasts until the appliance reaches an minimum temperature of 65°C / 150°F or the igniter times out (10 minutes). 3. Once the heavy, white smoke has dissipated, the start-up cycle is complete. Set your desired temperature to start grilling! NOTE: When reducing your temperature, open the grill lid until the ACTUAL temperature is relatively close to your desired temperature.

IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE

If for any reason your electric igniter fails or your grills flame dies out during a cook, check the following steps, or start your grill using the manual method. 1. Open the barrel lid. Remove the cooking components from inside the main barrel. Remove all unburnt pellets and ash from the burn grate, and return into correct positioning. Avoid touching the igniter to avoid injury, as it may be extremely hot.

2. Once all cooking components are removed and cleaned, press the Power Button to turn the unit on. Check the following:

• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for heat.

• Visually confirm that the igniter is aligned with the hole in the burn grate, and open to light the pellets.

• Visually confirm that the auger is dropping pellets into the burn grate.

• Confirm that the combustion fan is working by placing your hand above the burn grate and feeling for airflow.

3. If any of the above points are not working, follow

1. Plug the power cord into a grounded power source. Open the hopper lid. Ensure there are no foreign objects in the

hopper or auger feed system. Fill the hopper with dry, all natural barbecue hardwood pellets.

2. Open the main barrel lid. Remove the cooking components to expose the burn grate. Check the burn grate to ensure

there is no obstruction for proper ignition and that it is positioned properly. Place two (2) generous handfuls of pellets into the burn grate. Squirt a gelled fire starter, or other appropriate pellet starter, over the top of the pellets. A small amount of solid fuel fire starter, such as one composed of sawdust and wax, or wood shavings, is also appropriate. IMPORTANT: Do not use spirit, petrol, gasoline, lighter-fluid or kerosene for lighting or refreshing a fire in your grill. Also, do not attempt to add more fire starter into a fire that is already burning or into a hot burn grate. This may cause injury. 3. Light the contents of the burn grate using a long match or long-nosed lighter. Allow the starter to burn for 3 to 5 minutes. Do not attempt to add more starter into the burn grate. This can cause injury. 4. Quickly and carefully replace the cooking components to the inside of the grill, and close the grill lid. Continue start-up t step two of Automatic Start-Up Procedure

1. When finished cooking, keep the main barrel lid closed and press the Power Button to turn the unit o. This will activate the automatic cool-down cycle . The feed system will stop feeding fuel, the flame will burn out, and the fan will continue to run until the cool-down cycle is complete. When the cycle is complete, the fan will turn o.17 ENGLISH CARE & MAINTENANCE Any Louisiana Grills unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your grill:

• Quick part checks ensure that all hopper electrical components continue to function properly. Once the hopper access panel is removed (see Electric Wire Diagram for diagram), confirm that the igniter is free of debris or blockages. Also check to ensure the four set screws are snug, keeping the igniter straight and centered in the stainless steel casing.
• Check and clean o any debris from the fan air intake vents, found on the exterior front and back sides of the hopper. Carefully, wipe o any grease build-up directly on the fan blades. This ensures airflow is suicient to the feed system.

• Kinks or folds in the probe wires may cause damage to the part. Wires should be rolled up in a large, loose coil.
• Although both the temperature probe and the meat probes are stainless steel, do not place in the dishwasher or submerge in water. Water damage to the internal wires will cause a probe to short-out, causing false readings. If a probe is damaged, it should be replaced.

• It is recommended to clean your burn grate aer every few uses. This will ensure proper ignition and avoid any hard build-up of debris or ash in the fire pot.
• Use a long-handled grill cleaning brush, remove any food or build-up from the cooking grids. Best practice is to do this while they are still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of the grill. Clean the inside of your grill on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, keep the grill lid closed to choke out the fire. If the fire does not go out quickly, carefully remove the food, turn the grill o, and shut the lid until the fire is completely out. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.• Check your grease bucket oen, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of cooking you do. IMPORTANT: Due to high heat, do not cover the flame broiler or probes with aluminum foil.

• This grill is made of stainless steel, which is non-rusting in certain conditions. Aer initial grilling, certain areas of the grill may discolor. This is normal discoloration caused by the intense heat from the burner. Specks of grease can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and get baked-on. These can usually be removed with warm soapy water or a stainless steel cleaner. Wipe your grill down aer each use.
• Use a grill cover to protect your grill for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for longterm storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed.

USING WOOD PELLET FUEL

Clean-burning barbecue wood pellets generate about 8200 BTU’s per pound with very little ash, a low moisture content (5-7%), and are carbon neutral. Barbecue wood pellets are produced by pure raw material (sawdust) being pulverized with a hammer- mill, and the material is pushed through a die with pressure. As the pellet is forced through the die, it is cut, cooled, screened, vacuumed, and then bagged for consumer use. Check with your local dealer for flavors available in your area. HICKORY BLEND Rich, smoky bacon-like flavor. Considered the “Kings of the Woods” CHERRY BLEND Slightly sweet, but also tart. Gives a rosy tint to light meals. PECAN BLEND Smoky, bacon-like flavor. Similar to Hickory, but less strong.

WHISKEY BARREL BLEND

Strong, sweet smoke with aromatic tang. Perfect for red meats. APPLE BLEND Smoky, mild sweetness flavor. Highly recommended for baking. COMPETITION BLEND Perfect blend of sweet, savory, and tart. Used by many professional grillers. MESQUITE BLEND Strong, tangy, spicy flavor. Think Tex-Mex cuisine. NOTE: Always store wood pellets in a dry area. Avoid any contact or exposure to moisture will result in lower heat output or cause the pellets to swell and break apart. Use a moisture proof, resealable tub or bucket for proper storage. COOKING GUIDELINES Smoking and grilling styles of cooking can give you dierent results based on time and temperature. For best results, keep a record of what you cooked, at what temperature, how long you cooked for, and the results. Adjust to your taste for the next time. Practice makes perfect. The culinary art of hot smoking refers to longer cooking times, but results in more natural wood flavor (and a sought-aer smoke ring ) on your meats. Higher cooking temperatures result in a shorter cooking time, locking in less smoke flavor. TIP: For best results, allow time for meats to rest aer cooking. This allows the natural juices to migrate back into the meat fiber, giving a much juicer, flavorful cut. Resting times can be as little as 3 minutes and up to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the protein.

• Keep everything in the kitchen and cooking area clean. Use dierent platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you used to prepare or transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent cross contamination of bacteria. Each marinade or basting sauce should have its own utensil.• Keep hot foods hot (above 60ºC / 140ºF), and keep cold foods cold (below 3ºC / 37ºF).
• A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use it to serve with your meat, be sure to bring it to a boil before serving.
• Cooked foods should not be le out in the heat for more than an hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration for more than two hours.
• Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria can grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting any meal preparation and aer handling fresh meat, fish and poultry.21 ENGLISH

• Be prepared, or Mise en Place. This refers to preparing the cooking recipe, fuel, accessories, utensils, and all ingredients you require at grill side before you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before lighting the grill.
• A barbecue floor mat is very useful. Due to food handling accidents and cooking spatter, a barbecue floor mat would protect a deck, patio, or stone platform from the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills.

• To infuse more smoke flavor into your meats, cook longer and at lower temperatures (also known as low and slow Meat will close its fibers aer it reaches an internal temperature of 49ºC / 120ºF. Misting, or mopping, are great ways to keep meat from drying out.
• While searing your meats, cook with the lid down. Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the foods you are cooking. Smoking foods with hardwood pellets will turn meats and poultry pink. The band of pink (aer cooking) is referred to as a smoke ring and is highly prized by outdoor chefs.• Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups.
• Leave open space between the foods and the extremities of the barrel for proper heat flow. Food on a crowded grill will require more cooking time.
• Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning burgers and fish. Using a piercing utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat and allow the juices to escape.• Foods in deep casserole dishes will require more time to cook than a shallow baking pan.
• It’s a good idea to put cooked food onto a heated platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and roasts, benefit from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were driven to the surface by heat to ease back to the center of the meat, adding more flavor.
