High Temp Error and Low Temp Error
The manual, pages 28 and 29. The Pro 780 shows messages in words.
- High Temp Error (the manual adds "HEr"): above 288 °C (550 °F) for 45 seconds; the fan and auger stop. Let it cool, look over the hopper, auger and firepot, clean, clear the pellets, and restart with the lid closed. Usual causes: a grease fire, or a restart without clearing the firepot.
- Low Temp Error (the manual adds "LEr"): below 49 °C (120 °F) for 10 minutes; it shuts down. Let it cool, unplug, and remove all pellets and ash from the firepot and barrel before you restart. Causes: a bad start, no cleaning, out of pellets, wet pellets.
- Low Temp Detected: below the set temperature for 4 minutes. Information only; it can lead to Low Temp Error.
- Low Temp Warning: the fire went out and has not recovered. Check the pellets and restart.
