Remove the Porcelain Grill and the Grease Drain Pan. This will provide access to the V-
shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube opening inside the Grill. Scrape the grease
accumulation from the inside the V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube, using a
stiff, non-metallic tool. Much of the loosened grease can be pushed down through the
Grease Drain Tube and will fall into the Grease Bucket. 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.
Line your Grease Bucket with aluminum foil for easy clean-up. Empty it occasionally,
depending on amount of use.
Change the aluminum foil on the Grease Drain Pan frequently (sometimes, after each use,
depending upon what was cooked). Clean foil on the Grease Drain Pan will make your food
taste better and reduce the risk of a grease fire.
2) Cleaning outside surfaces:
DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
Use a disposable rag or cloth, dampened with warm soapy water to wipe the grease from
the outside of the Grill. DO NOT use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning
pads on the outside Grill surfaces.
3) Outside Storage:
CAUTION! If the Grill is stored outside during the rainy season, care should be taken to
ensure that water does not get into the Pellet Hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand
greatly and will jam your Auger. A Traeger Grill Cover to protect the Grill is highly
recommended! Covers are available from your Traeger Dealer, or log on to our Web Site –

4) Cleaning the Porcelain Grill:
CAUTION! Cleaning the Porcelain Grill works best while it is still warm. Be careful not to
burn yourself. We recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the Grill. After
removing your food, give the Porcelain Grill a quick brushing. It takes only a minute and it
will be ready the next time you want to use the Grill.
5) Cleaning the ash from inside and around the Firepot:
DANGER! Turn the Switch OFF (o) and disconnect the Power Cord.
WARNING! Make sure that the Grill is COLD before cleaning the ash.
WARNING! Disposal of ashes should be done only per the following instructions.
Excess ash in the Firepot may cause your fire to go out, especially in the “SMOKE” setting.
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 Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle to provide access to the
Firepot and the interior of the Grill. Much of the ash outside of the Firepot can be swept to
the open area at the right of the Firepot using a small whisk broom. It can be removed from
