TROUBLESHOOTING
Although rare, you may see an error or warning message display on your control panel. Please refer to the following chart for a list of error
messages and how to resolve them:
ERROR MESSAGES
CODE
ERROR
SOLUTION
LEr
Low temperature
This will occur if the temperature of the grill falls below 120°F (49°C) for 10 minutes, causing the
grill to go into the shutdown cycle. To fix, remove any pellets from the firepot. Turn the controller
off and then on again and restart your grill. If the problem persists, contact customer service
(see page 25).
HEr
High temperature
This error will occur when the temperature in the grill reaches temperatures above 550°F (288°C) for
more than 45 seconds. Let the grill cool, then turn off the grill. Clear out any remaining pellets from
the firepot and restart your grill. If the problem persists, contact customer service (see page 25).
Er1
Temperature sensor loose
Check to make sure your temperature sensor is correctly plugged into the controller.
Er2
Temperature sensor bad
Your temperature sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced.
OPERATING TIPS
1.
You can change the temperature at any time during grilling to
increase or decrease cooking temperature. It is best practice to
give the grill some time to reach the desired temperature before
making additional temperature changes.
2.
To change between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
a.
Press and hold the “Up” and “Down” buttons simultaneously
for 3 seconds.
b.
Press the center button to confirm and exit.
You will now see temperatures displayed in the format you’ve
chosen.
3.
Your Traeger® Grill is designed to operate with the door closed.
Opening the grill door greatly lengthens your cooking time.
•
When putting frozen, raw, cold, or otherwise uncooked food
on the grill, this may result in a temporary drop of your grill’s
internal temperature.
4.
Do not overload cooking surface with excessive amounts of food
that reach beyond the edges of the footprint of the drip tray. This
can lead to interference with proper cooking airflow and may
lengthen the time to reach the set temperature.
5.
Always take into account the type of food you are cooking:
•
Thin foods need high heat and shorter cook times, while thicker
foods need low heat and longer cook times.
•
Vegetables take longer to cook than meats at the same cooking
temperatures.
•
Always check that the internal temperature of the meat that you
are cooking reaches a safe temperature for eating.
•
The Keep Warm function is not designed to properly cook your
food.
6.
Keep the grill clean. Regularly inspect your grill for accumulated
grease. Most grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining
the grill and failing to clean the Traeger® Grease Management
System (TGMS) 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 that can release
large quantities of flammable grease (for example more than a
pound of bacon). If the grill has not been well maintained or if
your previous cooks have produced large quantities of flammable
grease, it is highly recommended that the grease be cleaned from
the grill before using it again.
NOTE:
Take care of your grill by using a new Traeger® drip tray liner
before each cook to help keep your grill clean.
