SECTION THREE: SUBSEQUENT START-UP
With the Door open, turn the Switch to ON position and Dial Knob to SMOKE. In
approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the
Pellets ignite. After assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set the
Temperature Dial to any cooking setting desired.
WARNING! If at any time, the Grill fails to light or the fire in the Firepot goes out while cooking
or 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.
1) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. If the Grill is still hot,
allow it to thoroughly cool. Open the Door and remove all food, the Porcelain Grill, Grease
Drain Pan Assembly.
2) 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)
3) Before replacing the Grease Drain Pan Assembly and the Porcelain Grill, plug the Power
Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and restart the Grill. 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.
4) If this procedure is successful, you will soon see flames come out of the Firepot. Then turn
the Switch OFF (o), and let the Grill cool down. Position the Grease Drain Pan Assembly
and Porcelain Grill in their proper locations. With the Door open, turn the Switch ON (--)
and the Dial Knob to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray
smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After assuring the Pellets have ignited,
close the Door and set the Dial Knob to any cooking setting desired.
5) If this procedure is not successful, see Section Six: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
for troubleshooting tips or contact Traeger Technical Support (Section Seven) to help
diagnose the problem before proceeding to the MANUAL
MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS:
If the Hot Rod only is not operating, the Grill can still be used to cook and smoke using the
MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE below:
1) DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord. Allow the Grill to
thoroughly cool if it is still hot. Remove the body left panel and disconnect the Hot Rod
(Purple / White wire pair as shown in the wiring diagram near the end of this manual). You
will need to remove the Body Left Panel to access the wiring. Once the Hot Rod is
disconnected, replace the Body Left Panel and plug the Power Cord back into an
appropriate, grounded electrical outlet.
2) Open the Pellet Hopper and fill with TRAEGER BBQ PELLETS.
WARNING! USE ONLY TRAEGER BRAND BBQ WOOD PELLETS, which are
specifically made to work in our Grills. NEVER use heating fuel pellets in the Grill
due to potential hazardous contaminants and additives that may be present.
3) Remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan Assembly to expose the Firepot In the
bottom of the Grill.
4) Pour 1/2 cup of TRAEGER BBQ PELLETS into the Firepot.
