Wireless Controller Software Update (August 2024)

Improvements

Cold Weather Performance

  • The maximum pellet delivery amount at lower temperature settings has been increased for 700E-XL models to allow the grill to get up to temperature faster in cold weather.
  • This should help solve issues whereby the grill may take so long to heat up that Error 4 – Flame Out occurs.

Food Probe Calibration

  • Food probe calibrate has been added to the controller menu. It is NOT accessible through the App.
  • The adjustment will be remembered even after power is disconnected.
  • Note that while the calibration is for a specific port (Eg. P1) the adjustment is related to the reading from the food probe itself, so ensure to always use the same probe for each port. If plugged into a different port the calibration will need to be redone.
  • To calibrate food probes:
    • Plug them into the controller and place the probes in hot water (just boiled). If possible use an insulated mug/glass so the temperature doesn’t drop too quickly.
    • If available use a instant read food probe as a reference temperature.
    • Press and hold the control knob for 2 second to enter the MENU.
    • Scroll down to CALIBRATE, press knob to confirm.
    • Scroll to the required food probe, press knob to confirm.
    • Adjust up and down by rotating the control knob until the temperature reads the same as the reference thermometer in the hot water. Press knob to confirm.
    • Once completed, scroll down to –EXIT– to return to the standby screen.

How to update?

  • To update, press the control knob once (to wake up the screen) and open the App. A notification should eventually pop up about the software update. Proceed to the grill settings page, scroll to the bottom and complete the update.
  • If the update does not run, unplug the grill from power, then plug back in (or power cycle). Quit the App and open again and retry.
  • If you have not completed an update before, see instructions here.
  • Your grill should be updated to the following versions (or newer):
    • 450A: v114
    • 7002B: v121
    • 700E-XL: v208
