Do not operate the unit if the electrical outlet is damaged.

Always unplug the grill by pulling from the plug. Do not pull from the cord.

Do not use the grill within 10 feet (3m) of any body of water, such as a pool or pond.

Keep the power cord and extension cord away from any heated surfaces or water and arranged so as not to cause a tripping hazard. Use the power cord management strap to avoid these hazards.

The food temperature probes are very sharp and can become hot when in use. Use care when handling the probes to avoid the risk of injury.

Do not allow the hopper to empty during operation of this grill.

The power cord supplied with your grill has a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against electrical shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a grounded three-prong outlet. Do not cut, remove or modify the plug in any way.

WEBER recommends that you regularly check the burn pot, auger and cookbox for any obstructions that might block and prevent proper air flow. See the RECOMMENDED CLEANING section for more details.

If the grill is stored outside during periods of non-use, rain or high humidity, the wood pellets should be inspected within the hopper to ensure they are dry. Hardwood pellets, when wet or exposed to high humidity, can expand, break apart and clog or obstruct the auger feeding system.

If using the WEBER CONNECT app to monitor the operation of the grill, make sure that all safety precautions otherwise applicable to the operation of the grill have been observed prior to using the grill. Someone familiar with the operation of the grill must be in close proximity of the grill in order to address any emergencies that could arise. Do not leave the grill unattended.

To decrease the chance of a grease fire, be sure the ash and grease system, heat diffuser, and all FLAVORIZER bars are all properly installed.

Make sure all electrical connections are kept dry and off of the ground.

Observe all local laws and regulations when using this appliance.

When connecting this appliance to a power supply, ensure that the supply voltage corresponds with the voltage rating marked on the appliance label.

Always unplug the grill from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the grill to cool before performing maintenance.

Use extreme caution when removing the ash and grease system and disposing of hot grease or ashes.

Always store WEBER SMOKEFIRE ALL NATURAL HARDWOOD PELLETS in a dry place located away from heat-producing appliances and moisture.

When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The ash and grease system and cookbox should be inspected before each cook to determine when grease and/or creosote buildup has occurred. When grease or creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire.

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 anemia, or heart disease.

If an extension cord is needed, only use a 14-gauge cable with a grounded plug, suitable for use with outdoor appliances.

The maximum length for the extension cord is 13 feet (4 meters).

Keep the extension cord as short as possible.

Examine the extension cord before use and replace if damaged.

To minimize the risk of property damage and/or personal injury, do not use an extension power-supply cable unless it conforms to the specifications listed in the manual.

The exclusive WEBER Porcelain-Enameled finish withstands the elements and helps prevent rusting and cracking over time.

The large capacity hopper holds an entire 20 pound bag of pellets, and then some – perfect size for all day smoking.

This DC powered engine was built to heat hotter and faster than most pellet grills in order to reach a 200°-600°F (93°-315°C) temperature range.

With superior ash and grease removal, the ash and grease are channeled into an external, contained drawer for a quick and easy cleanup. This unique system also prevents ash from blowing up into the cookbox and onto your food.

The glow plug provides ignition for the fuel in your pellet grill, similar to a heating element in an electric oven.

The FLAVORIZER bars and heat diffuser direct heat to every inch of the cooking grate so that your entire meal cooks evenly, with no worry of hot or cold spots. While grilling at high heat, drippings are also caught and sizzle, creating an amazing boost of flavor.

The flakes you see are accumulated cooking vapors that have turned into carbon. This happens over time after repeated use of your grill. This is not a defect. Using a grill brush or the included grill scraper, gently scrub and clean the carbon flakes off of the lid and cookbox. Wipe clean with a soft cloth or paper towel.

Clean stainless steel using a non-toxic, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner or polish designed for use on outdoor products and grills. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to clean in the direction of the grain of the stainless steel. Do not use paper towels. CAUTION: Do not risk scratching your stainless steel with abrasive pastes. Pastes do not clean or polish. They will change the color of the metal by removing the top chromium oxide film coating.

Clean painted, porcelain-enameled and plastic components with warm soapy water and a soft, lint-free cloth. After wiping down the surfaces, lightly rinse and dry thoroughly.

If your grill is subject to a particularly harsh environment, you will want to clean the outside more often. Acid rain, pool chemicals, and salt water can cause surface rusting to appear. Wipe down the outside of your grill with warm soapy water. Follow up with a light rinse and thorough drying. Additionally, you may want to apply a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner weekly to prevent surface rust. Use only as directed.

Your included temperature probes should be cleaned after every use to ensure safe cooking practices. However, the temperature probes should never be submerged in any type of liquid because it could damage them. WEBER recommends gently wiping the temperature probes clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth or paper towel.

Preheating your grill with the lid closed prepares the cooking grates and internal cookbox temperature for grilling. The heat loosens any bits and pieces of food hanging onto the cooking grates, making it easy to clean them off with a grill brush or wood scraper. Preheating your grill also gets the cooking grates hot enough to sear properly and also helps prevent food from sticking to them. CAUTION: When using a stainless steel bristle grill brush, be sure to check for loose bristles. Replace the brush if any loose bristles are found on cooking grate or brush.

It is important to remember to always cook with your grill lid closed. This will keep your internal cookbox temperature where you want it to be and thoroughly cook your food.

If you are grilling in a colder climate or in windy conditions, the cooking times could be longer. These conditions will lower the grill’s temperature, so always monitor your grill and use food temperature probes to ensure safe food temperatures. Remember to keep the grill lid closed as much as possible during cooking so the heat and smoke do not escape.

• Abrasive stainless steel polishes or pastes

• Cleaners that contain acid, mineral spirits or xylene

• Oven cleaner

• Abrasive cleansers or pads

Also, never spray the grill with a steady water stream such as from a garden hose or power washer as electronic components could become damaged. Do not clean the heat baffle, FLAVORIZER bars, heat diffuser, or cooking grates in a sink, dishwasher, or self-cleaning oven. Do not place any grill parts onto the side table as they may scratch the stainless steel.
