w WARNING Fire Hazard: Grease ﬁres are most frequently

caused by failing to properly maintain the grill by not cleaning the

grease from the grill on a consistent basis.

w WARNING

Press the main power button to OFF and disconnect

the power cord before initiating any of the maintenance below.

4. REMOVAL OF ASH AND GREASE FROM THE EZ-CLEAN GREASE +

ASH KEG (EVERY COOK)

w WARNING Make sure that the grill is COLD and ashes are

extinguished and COLD before checking the Grease + Ash Keg.

w WARNING Failure to empty the EZ-Clean Grease + Ash Keg

could result in a serious ﬁre.

Underneath the grill body there is a keg that collects both ash

and grease. This should be checked and emptied before every cook.

To remove and check the keg, simply grab the keg with two hands

and push the button to release. Remove the disposable liner and

replace with a new one. See Step 9, Disposal of Ashes, for proper

ash disposal.

NOTE: Traeger’s keg liners will help keep this a clean and easy task.

5. CLEANING YOUR TRAEGER® GREASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (“TGMS”):

During your cooks, grease drippings will fall onto (i) the EZ-Clean

drip tray and be channeled into (ii) the grease drain tube,

(iii) to be collected in the EZ-Clean Grease + Ash Keg. These

three components are the components of the Traeger® Grease

Management System (TGMS). Grease will accumulate in all of these

locations and should be regularly cleaned to reduce the risk of ﬁre.

How ofen you need to clean the TGMS depends on the fat

content of your food. Fattier foods will require cleaning of the

TGMS more ofen, and sometimes you will need to clean the

TGMS afer every cook.

Visible pieces of food and bits of hardened grease or other

buildup indicate a need for cleaning.

All components of the TGMS should be inspected before each use

for signs of grease buildup.

w WARNING Accumulated grease is easier to clean o

when the grill is still warm—not hot. Be careful not to burn

yourself. Heat-protective gloves are recommended.

Clean the grease out of the grease drain tube. We recommend

cleaning this location regularly.

Remove all grill grates and the grease governor cap. This will

provide access to the grease drain tube opening inside the grill.

Scrape the grease accumulated on the EZ-Clean drip tray down

through the grease drain tube using a sti, nonmetallic tool.

Much of the loosened grease can be pushed down through the

grease drain tube and will fall into the EZ-Clean Grease + Ash Keg.

Wipe up remaining grease residue with paper towels or disposable

rags.

Regularly clean the grease out of the grill on the interior bottom and

sides. If grease is allowed to build up, a grease ﬁre could result.

Scrape the grease accumulation from inside the grill using a sti,

nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened grease can be removed

using paper towels or disposable rags. Excessive scraped-o

residue can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner as described in

Step 8 (below) when cleaning the ﬁrepot of ashes.

Inspect and clean the EvenFlowTM Heat Shield for any grease or

debris.

6. CREOSOTE REMOVAL:

When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and

other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to

form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively

cool exhaust vent of a slow-burning ﬁre. As a result, creosote

accumulates on the exhaust vent lining. When ignited, creosote

makes an extremely hot ﬁre. Airborne grease particles will travel

through the cooking chamber, and some of this airborne grease

will accumulate on the exhaust vent lining, similar to creosote,

which could contribute to a ﬁre.

Periodically scrape the creosote and grease accumulation from

the back of the backsplash and back of the grill door. Once the

creosote and grease residue have been loosened from the interior

lining and ventilation gaps in this downdraf system, much of

it can be removed with paper towels or disposable rags. Do not

spray water or other liquid cleaners onto the inside of your grill

to remove creosote.

NOTE: The Traeger® Downdraf Exhaust System should be

inspected at least twice a year to determine when a creosote

and/or grease buildup has occurred.

When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed

to reduce the risk of a ﬁre.

7. OUTSIDE STORAGE:

w CAUTION If the grill is stored outside, care should be

taken to ensure that water does not get into the pellet hopper.

Wood pellets expand greatly when wet and will jam your auger.

Always cover your grill when not in use with a Traeger® Grill Cover.

This custom-ﬁt cover can be purchased at traeger.com.

8. CLEANING THE ASH FROM INSIDE AND AROUND THE FIREPOT

(AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 HOURS OF COOKING):

w WARNING Make sure that the grill is COLD and ashes are

extinguished and COLD before cleaning the ash.

w WARNING Disposal of ashes should be done only

according to the following instructions.

Excess ash in the ﬁrepot will hamper ignition and may cause your

ﬁre to go out. The ﬁrepot should be inspected occasionally and

cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from in

and around the ﬁrepot should be done only when the grill is COLD.

Remove the grill grates, EZ-Clean drip tray, and EvenFlowTM Heat

Shield cover to provide access to the ﬁrepot and the interior of the

grill, including the fan pan. Much of the ash outside of the ﬁrepot

can be removed from the grill with a shop vac.
