*WiFi Setup During Cook for ITC3 Grills with Firmware V0.90 or Lower

Troubleshooting Steps

WiFi Setup During Cook

Users setting up WiFi are noticing the grill display is freezing on the WiFi setup screen.  This freeze is purposeful and is how the firmware is supposed to operate so the controller can process the WiFi setup.  This freeze means that the screen won't take any input from the user and won't change until the user has completed the WiFi setup successfully.  This can cause problems if the user starts the WiFi setup during a cook.  In a cooking state, the controller isn't able to process information to maintain temperature control.

Affected Models:

• VG0001S-30001+
• VGB0001S-30001+
• VG0002S-30001+
• VGB0002S-30001+
• ITC 3 grills that are running Grill Firmware V0.90 or lower.

The serial number can be verified on the label underneath the hopper lid.

Solution:

1. The user must connect to WiFi while the grill is not cooking (plugged in and on, but not heating/cooking).
2. Once the grill is connected, navigate to the OTA Update menu.
3. Press download to begin downloading the latest firmware update.
4. Once the download has been completed, press "Install" to initiate the firmware update.
5. The grill will restart itself once the update is completed.
6. The grill firmware version should show as V0.91 or higher.  The updated firmware will only allow the user to set up WiFi while the grill is not cooking.  The controller will still freeze during the WiFi setup until the WiFi is connected successfully.  This is a normal operation.
