SECTION THREE: STANDARD LIGHTING
PROCEDURE (For Normal Use)
1. Set the cook mode switch or thermostat dial on SMOKE. Turn the power switch ON. In
approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the grill. The
hot rod will operate for four minutes before shutting off. After 4 minutes, the cook mode
switch may be moved to any cooking setting you desire

OPERATING TIPS
1) Your Traeger Grill should never be moved when it is hot. If you are transporting
your grill in a vehicle after cooking on it, make sure that the fire is completely out
and that the unit is completely cool before placing in any vehicle. Never pour water
into the firepot. It will jam the auger.
2) Your grill is designed to operate with lid
CLOSED
.
The unit will not properly
function with the lid open.
3) NEVER add barbecue pellets by hand to a hot firepot. This is dangerous and
you may get burned. If you run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking, let
the unit cool completely, fill the pellet hopper and restart the unit following the initial
start-up procedure.
4) Your BBQ 100 comes equipped with a three position cooking mode control.
The switch can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the
temperature of your grill. “HIGH” is used for grilling. The auger runs all the time
on “HIGH”. The “MEDIUM”: setting is for slow cooking. The auger will run for 2
minutes and then shuts off for 2 minutes. “SMOKE” is for smoking foods and
adding wood smoked flavor to the foods you cook. The auger runs for 1 minute
and is off for 3 minutes. This creates a natural wood smoke flavor to your food.
The “SMOKE” setting can also be used to “hold” foods at approximately 180
degrees-200 degrees F.
5) Always make sure that the U-shaped firepot cover and angled drip pan are
properly seated before you begin cooking food in your grill. If the firepot cover is
not seated properly, direct heat and flame could come out of the firepot and cause
a grease fire in your grill.
6) When estimating cooking times, remember that the outside air temperature and
weather conditions will dramatically alter your cooking times. 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 for
food to cook. The thermostat control unit will help to provide a constant
temperature at the setting you’ve chosen-once the grill has come up to that
temperature.
NOTE: When operating this barbecue, maintain a
clearance of at least 10 inches from barbecue back to
combustibles.
