• 

Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: 
headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, 
sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide 
reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. 
Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of 
consciousness and death.

• 

See a doctor if you or others develop cold- or  
flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity  
of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning,  
which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is  
often detected too late.

• 

Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the 
effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.

• 

Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother 
and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, 
smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system 
problems, such as anemia or heart disease.

• 

Only use your Traeger outside on a noncombustible 
floor and away from combustible materials.

• 

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, 
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or flammable liquids 
to start or “freshen up” a fire in this appliance. Keep 
all such liquids well away from this appliance when  
in use. 

Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet-burning appliance. Failure to follow these 
instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Contact local building or fire officials 
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.

Cooking with a hardwood fire will bring years of enjoyment to you, your family, and those lucky friends you will 
be cooking for. Your new Traeger Grill is especially designed to make cooking easier, while giving you optimal 
performance with the most savory-flavored food.

As with all grills and cooking appliances, any time you burn a material (whether it be wood, gas, or charcoal), 
organic gases are formed during the cooking process. One gas that can be particularly harmful in concentrated 
quantities is carbon monoxide. In an outdoor, open-air environment, carbon monoxide should naturally dissipate 
and not harm you. 

WARNING!

 

Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family,  

or others:

IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

If you are assembling this unit for someone else, provide this manual for the owner to read and save for  
future reference. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY

DANGER! 

• 

Plug into an appropriate 3-prong outlet.

• 

An electrical supply with GFCI protection is required. 
To protect against shock hazard, locate a grounded 
3-prong receptacle in reach of the 1.8 m (6') power 
cord. When installing the receptacle, follow the 
National Electrical Code and local codes  
and ordinances.

DANGER! 

• 

Hazardous voltage is present which can shock,  
burn, or cause death. Disconnect the power cord 
before servicing the grill unless otherwise noted  
in the Use & Care Instructions.

• 

Never use or store flammable liquids near  
the grill.

• 

Never use gasoline or lighter fluid to manually  
light your grill. Use 

ONLY

 alcohol gel for this 

procedure 

AND

 according to the instructions  

in the Use & Care Instructions.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND
