SEASONING YOUR GRILL
TO BE USED ON INITIAL FIRING ONLY.
In order to ensure the best flavor, optimal performance, and proper and safe operation of
the grill, follow the instructions below to season your grill.
1
Remove the grill grates, grease drip tray, and heat baffle from the
inside of the grill.
2
PLUG APPEARANCE MAY VARY BY REGION.
With the main power switch on the back of the grill hopper in the
OFF (
O
) position, plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded/
earthed GFCI electrical outlet.
3
Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in
the auger before adding pellets to the hopper. Turn grill on: Flip
the main power switch on the back of the grill to ON (
I
). With the
grill in standby mode, press and hold the “Up” and IGNITE buttons
simultaneously. The display will flash “Pri” and the auger will begin
priming.
NOTE:
Once you turn on your grill,
it will enter standby mode, and
the display’s dashed border will
pulse. This indicates your grill is
awaiting a command, and is not
actively operating. The grill MUST
be in standby mode to prime the auger.
4
After adding pellets to the hopper, close the hopper lid. We
recommend you fill the hopper with pellets at least to the safety
grate in the hopper. Press the center button.
WARNING!
USE ONLY TRAEGER® BRAND HARDWOOD
PELLETS, WHICH ARE SPECIFICALLY MADE TO WORK IN
OUR GRILLS. NEVER USE HEATING FUEL PELLETS IN THE GRILL.
