For iPhone Users Only

1. Memphis Grills has been in the design process for the ITC 3 grills and the Memphis 3 App for more than a year. During this process, Apple iOS connection authentication changes occurred. As such, for the initial run of grills manufactured, and for iPhone users only, the following process will need to be implemented for the initial App setup only, in order to use the Memphis 3 iOS App. Serial numbers of the affected grills are listed below. This is not required for Android App users.

Affected Models:

VG0001S: Serial numbers 30001-30267
VGB0001S: Serial numbers 30001-30297
VG0002S: Serial numbers 30001-30186
VGB0002S: Serial numbers 30001- 30216

*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.

Important: Memphis Built-in Grill Requirements for Installation

Please make sure you provide a dedicated electrical circuit for the Memphis Wood Fire Built-in Grill, installed by a Certified Electrician.  Although our grill only takes 1.3 amps during start-up, any other equipment (refrigerator, pool pump, fountain, etc.) that takes power consistently or intermittently from the same electrical source can cause potential issues and/or interruptions with the performance of the Built-in Memphis Grill.

As stated in the Memphis Installation and Operation Manual, we recommend unplugging the grill between usages.  For Built-in situations that may make this inconvenient, we recommend installing an on/off switch that is easily accessible so the power can be turned off between grilling sessions.

Memphis Grills is not responsible for the operation of our grills if the proper installation and usage requirements are not followed.
