OPERATING TIPS
1.
You can change the temperature dial at any time during
grilling to increase or decrease cooking temperature.
2.
WARNING!
Your Traeger® Grill should never be moved
while it is hot. 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 cause a jam in the auger.
3.
Your Traeger®
Grill is designed to operate with the door
closed. Cooking with the door open greatly lengthens
your cooking time.
4.
CAUTION!
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 with the
“Hopper Clean-out” instructions on page 15.
5.
CAUTION!
Make sure the heat baffle is properly seated
on its locating brackets. If not seated properly, direct
heat and flame could come up out of the firepot and
cause a grease fire in the grill.
6.
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 safe
temperatures to eat.
7.
Digital Thermostat Control Functions:
After selecting your cooking temperature (with
the exception of SMOKE), the auger will operate
continuously until the selected temperature is
reached. From that point forward, the digital control
will cycle the auger off and on to maintain the selected
temperature until the temperature dial is changed.
When operating in SMOKE mode, the auger will cycle
on
for 15 seconds and
off
for 65 seconds. There is no
temperature control with the SMOKE setting. This
timed cycle setting for SMOKE is a factory preset
recommended by Traeger Pellet Grills to develop
a “smoking” temperature of 65.5°–82.2°C
(150º–180ºF).
8.
WARNING!
If the fire in the firepot goes out while
smoking and there are sufficient pellets still in the
pellet hopper, it is important to follow these steps.
Failure to do so may cause a hazardous “overfiring”
of your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets
in the firepot.
•
DANGER!
Turn the Main Power switch at the back of
the grill to OFF
(
O
)
and disconnect the power cord.
Allow the grill to cool thoroughly. Open the door and
remove all food, grill grate, grease drip tray, and heat
baffle.
•
WARNING!
Smoke Hazard
A pellet overflow condition can occur during
start-up, resulting in unusually thick, white smoke
that lasts a long time. If this occurs, power down
your grill with the Main Power switch and unplug.
If this condition continues long enough, gases can
build up from partial ignition and fully ignite, causing
the lid to “burp.” If this burp occurs and your grill
has not been properly maintained as described in
“Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 16-17, a grease fire
could result. To remedy this condition, let the grill cool
down completely, remove all internal components, and
thoroughly clean all ash and pellets from the grill and
firepot (see page 17, “Cleaning the Ash from Inside and
Around the Firepot”).
•
WARNING!
Remove all unburned pellets and ash from
inside and around the firepot. (See instructions for
proper handling and disposal of ash on page 17.)
•
Before replacing the heat baffle, grease drip tray, and
the grill grate, plug the power cord into an appropriate
grounded/earthed electrical outlet and turn the Main
Power switch ON
(
I
). Pellets should fall into the
firepot and the hot rod should begin to heat (it will
start to turn red).
CAUTION!
Do not touch the hot rod.
•
When flames start to come out of the firepot, turn the
Main Power switch OFF
(
O
)
. Let the grill cool down.
Now you’re ready to place the heat baffle, grease drip
tray, grill grate, and food back into the grill. With the
door open, turn the Main Power switch ON (
I
) and
turn the temperature dial to SMOKE. In about two
minutes, the pellets will ignite and whitish-gray smoke
will come out of the grill. After the pellets have ignited,
close the door and turn the temperature dial to any
cooking setting desired.
9.
CARBON MONOXIDE:
WARNING!
Follow these guidelines to prevent this
colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family,
your pets, or others.
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
headaches, 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.
