SECTION FOUR: OPERATING TIPS

1) The Temperature/Dial can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the

cooking temperature of the Grill. The HIGH/HIGHER temperature settings are for

Grilling. The MEDIUM/MID RANGE temperature settings are for Slow Cooking. The

SMOKE setting is for Smoking and adding Smoke Flavor to foods being cooked. The

SMOKE setting can also be used to “hold” foods at approximately 180 to 200

degrees F.

2) WARNING! Your Traeger Pellet Grill should never be moved while it is hot. If you are

transporting your Grill in a vehicle after cooking on it, make sure the fire is

completely out and the Grill is cold before placing it in any vehicle. Never put water

into the Firepot. It will jam the Auger.

3) Your Traeger Pellet Grill is designed to operate with the Door closed. Cooking with

the Door open greatly lengthens your cooking time.

4) DANGER! Never add pellets by hand to a hot Firepot. This is dangerous and you

may be seriously burned. If you run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking, let

the Grill completely cool and start again with the INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS.

5) CAUTION! Make sure the Heat Baffle is properly seated on its locating brackets. The

long lips of the Heat Baffle should be pointing down over the Firepot. If not seated

properly, direct heat and flame could come up out of the Firepot and cause a grease

fire in the Grill.

6) When estimating cooking times, the outside temperature will be an important factor. If

it is hot outside, it will take less time for food to cook. If it is cold, wet or windy, it will

take longer.

7) Digital Thermostat Control Functions:

After selecting your cooking temperature (with the exception of “SMOKE”) the Auger

will operate continuously until the selected temperature is reached. From that point

forward, the Digital Control will cycle the Auger off and on to maintain the selected

temperature until the Temperature/Dial is changed. When operating in “Smoke”

mode, the Auger will cycle on for 15 seconds and off for 65 seconds. There is no

temperature control with the “Smoke” setting. This timed cycle setting for

“Smoke” is a factory pre-set recommended by Traeger Pellet Grills to develop a

“Smoking” temperature of 150 to 180 degrees F.

WARNING! If the fire in the Firepot goes out while smoking, when sufficient Pellets

are still in the Pellet Hopper, it is important to follow these steps. Failure to do so

may cause a hazardous “over-firing” of your grill due to an excess of unburned

pellets in the Firepot. You may need to decrease the “P” setting to prevent your fire

from going out in the “Smoke” mode.

a) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. Allow the

Grill to thoroughly cool if it is still hot. Open the Door and remove all food, the

Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat Baffle.

b) WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the

Firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash in Section

Five)

c) Before replacing the Heat Baffle, Grease Drain Pan and the Porcelain Grill, plug

the Power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the Switch

ON (--). Pellets should fall into the Firepot and the Hot Rod should begin to heat (it

will start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch it.

d) You will soon see flames come out of the Firepot. Then turn the Switch OFF (o),

and let the Grill cool down. Position the Heat Baffle, the Grease Drain Pan and

Porcelain Grill in their proper locations. With the Door open, turn the Switch ON (--)
