MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL
1. CREOSOTE AND GREASE FORMATION AND
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 ue exhaust of a slow-burning re. As a
result, creosote accumulates on the ue lining.
When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot
re. Airborne grease particles will travel through
the cooking chamber, and some of this airborne
grease will accumulate on the ue lining, similar
to creosote, which could be contributory to a re.
Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto
the grease drip tray, and then into the Traeger
Grease Management System (TGMS). The TGMS
is composed of a (1) grease channel, (2) grease
chute, (3) internal grease trap, and (4) grease pan
with pan liner (see below).
Grease drippings will ow from the grease drip
tray to the grease channel, and then out of the
grill through the grease chute, to be collected in
the grease pan. Grease will accumulate in all of
these locations.
The grease drip tray, the grease channel, and
the grease chute should be inspected every eight
times that you operate your grill for signs of
grease buildup.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it
should be removed to reduce the risk of re.
Cleaning grease from your grill:
DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O)
and disconnect the power cord.
CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to
clean off when the grill is still warm—not hot.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
Gloves are recommended.
Periodically clean the grease from the TGMS. If
too much grease is allowed to build up in the
grease channel or is allowed to plug the grease
chute, a grease re could result. We recommend
cleaning these locations regularly.
Remove the grill grates and the grease drip
tray. This will provide access to the grease
channel and grease chute inside the grill.
Scrape the grease accumulation from inside
the grease channel and grease chute using a
stiff, nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened
grease can be pushed down through the grease
chute and will fall into the grease pan. Wipe up
remaining grease residue with paper towels or
disposable rags. Paper towels or disposable rags
can also be used to wipe some of the grease off
of the interior surfaces of the grill.
The grease pan comes with a preinstalled
5-pack of disposable aluminum liners.
Replacement liner packs are available for
purchase at www.traegergrills.com. Empty the
grease pan as needed; frequency depends on
the amount of use.
8. GREASE MANAGEMENT:
CAUTION! Grease res are caused by not
properly maintaining the grill and failing to clean
the Traeger Grease Management System (TGMS)
on a consistent basis (see MAINTAINING YOUR
GRILL). In the unlikely event of a grease re
while cooking, turn the switch OFF (O) and keep
the door closed until the re is completely out.
Never keep the door open during a grease re.
If the re does not go out, lightly sprinkle baking
soda on the re.
CAUTION! Be careful not to burn yourself. If
this does not work, carefully remove the food
from the grill and keep the door closed until
the re is completely out. Again, be careful not
to burn yourself. When the grill is completely
cool, remove all internal components. Clean any
grease accumulation from the TGMS. Replace
the grease drip tray and grill grates, restart the
grill, and resume cooking.
