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 expand greatly when wet and will jam your
auger. Your Traeger Grill comes with a custom
cover to protect it from the elements.
Cleaning the porcelain-coated grill grates:
CAUTION!
Cleaning the porcelain-coated grill
grates works best while they are still warm. Be
careful not to burn yourself. After removing your
food, clean the porcelain-coated grill grates with a
cleaning brush or other similar tool. It takes only
a minute and it will be ready the next time you
want to use the grill.

ASH CLEANING AND REMOVAL
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 according to the following instructions.
Excess ash in the firepot may cause your fire to go
out, especially on 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-coated grill grates, 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 removed from the
grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other
similar tool.
Dispose of the ashes according to the following
instructions.
WARNING!
A shop vac is the best way to remove
ashes from the firepot, but this must be done
with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again,
cleaning the ash from the firepot should be done
only when the grill is
cold
.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner having a metal
collection canister without a bag would be best
for this task. However, almost any vacuum
cleaner will work safely if this procedure is
properly followed.
After ensuring that the ash in the firepot is
cold
,
vacuum the ash from the inside of the firepot.
a.
If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless model, empty
any previously accumulated debris from the
collection chamber. Then vacuum the ash from
the inside of the firepot. Once the firepot is clean,
empty the collection chamber into the metal
container described below without delay. Make
sure that there is no remaining ash residue left in
the collection chamber.
b.
If your vacuum cleaner is a model that uses a
disposable bag, install an unused bag in the
machine. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of
the firepot. Once the firepot is clean, remove the
bag from the vacuum cleaner and place it in the
metal container described below without delay.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
WARNING!
Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final
disposal. Ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed.
