WARNING
Fire Hazard
•
Keep your Traeger
®
Grill clean. Grease fires are
caused by not properly maintaining your grill and
failing to clean its Traeger
®
Grease Management
System on a consistent basis (see “Maintaining Your
Grill” on pages 22-23).
•
Even if there is ample room in the grill, be cautious
of loading excessive amounts of food or high fat
content foods (e.g., bacon) that can release large
quantities of flammable grease.
•
Do not place food near the edges of the grill where
grease drippings may miss the grease drip tray and
fall to the bottom of the grill, where they could come
into contact with embers from the firepot and ignite.
•
Always make sure the heat baffle and drip tray are
properly seated on their locating brackets. If not
installed correctly, direct heat and flame from the
firepot could cause a grease fire or damage the
Traeger
®
Grease Management System.
•
Never
use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, lighter
fluid, or other flammable materials to start or “freshen
up” a fire.
•
Never
use or store flammable liquids or other
combustibles materials near the grill.
•
Never
attempt to over-fire your grill by adding excess
pellets or other combustible materials to the firepot
or the hopper.
w
DANGER
In the event of a grease fire, ensure
the grill door and hopper lid are closed, and then
immediately unplug the grill if you can do so safely.
Move away from the grill until the fire is completely
out and grill has cooled down. Until the fire has
extinguished and the grill has cooled off:
•
Do Not
move the grill;
•
Do Not
throw water on the grill;
•
Do Not
use salt or baking soda to put out a grease
fire; and
•
Do Not
try to smother the fire.
With the grill door and hopper closed, the fire will be
starved of oxygen and burn itself out. Never keep the
grill door or hopper lid open during a grease fire; if
the grill door is open, use a non-combustible tool that
will allow you to close the grill door while keeping a
safe distance from the grill. An all-class (class ABC)
approved fire extinguisher should be used if a fire is not
contained within the grill. If an uncontrolled fire does
occur, immediately call the Fire Department. When the
fire is completely out, allow the grill to cool completely.
Remove everything from the inside of your grill,
including all internal components (grill grates, drip
tray, heat baffle, and firepot), pots and pans, and food.
Clean the entire grill, including any grease accumulation
from the Traeger
®
Grease Management System (TGMS)
and all ash and pellets from the grill and firepot (see
“Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 22-23). Replace the
firepot, heat baffle, grease drip tray, and grill grates,
restart the grill, and resume cooking.

WARNING
Fire Hazard
Always allow grill to cool completely before clearing the
auger.
w
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Ashes should always be completely cool before
handling. 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 should be retained in the
closed container until they are disposed.
w
WARNING
Burn Hazard
Many parts of the grill become very hot during
operation. During operation of the grill and afterwards,
care must be taken to avoid burns while the grill is hot.
•
Never
leave the grill unattended when young children
or pets are present.
•
Never
move the grill when it is operating or hot.
Let the grill cool thoroughly and close the grill door
before moving or attempting to transport. If you are
transporting your grill in a vehicle after cooking on it,
make sure the fire is completely out and the grill is
cold before placing it in any vehicle. Never put water
into the firepot; it will jam the auger.
•
Never
add pellets by hand to a hot firepot. This is
dangerous and you may be seriously burned. If you
run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking,
let the grill cool completely and start again. (See page
19, “Hopper Clean-out” instructions).
•
Grill grates and meat probe are extremely hot when
preheated. Please use caution when loading food
onto the grill grates and when inserting, removing,
or adjusting your meat probe.
•
Never
move the grill with the door open. Always
close the grill door prior to moving.
w
WARNING
Smoke Hazard
•
If there is a delayed start and the smoke from
your grill changes from transparent white smoke to
unusual billowing thick non-transparent white smoke
that turns to a yellow tinted smoke, immediately turn
off your grill using the main power switch on the back
of the pellet hopper or unplug the power cord.
Do Not
initiate the shutdown cycle.
