SECTION TWO: INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS 

(To be used on initial firing or anytime the Grill runs out of Pellets) 

In order to ensure proper operation of the Grill, you must first 

allow the Auger Tube to be “charged” with Pellets. 

1)  Open the Door and remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle from 

inside the Grill. 

2)  Make sure the Switch is in the OFF 

(o)

 position. Plug the Power Cord into an appropriate, 

grounded electrical outlet. 

3)  Open the Pellet Hopper Lid and locate the Auger. Make sure there are no foreign objects in 

the Auger. Turn the Switch ON 

(--)

 and the Temperature/dial to smoke look into the Pellet 

Hopper to confirm the Auger is turning. At the same time, place your fingers over the 
Firepot and feel the air movement from the Draft Inducer Fan. Look to see if the Hot Rod is 
getting hot (it will start to turn red). 

CAUTION! Do not touch it.

 Turn the Temperature/dial 

to SHUT DOWN CYCLE. 

4)  Fill the Pellet Hopper with TRAEGER BBQ PELLETS. 

WARNING! Use only TRAEGER 

BRAND BBQ PELLETS, which are specifically made to work in our Grills. Never use 
heating fuel pellets in the Grill.

 Turn the Temperature/Dial to HIGH. Note: During the 

initial charging of the Auger, it will take time for the Pellets to travel from the Pellet Hopper 
to the Firepot. When the Pellets begin to fall into the Firepot, turn the Temperature/Dial to 
Shut Down Cycle. 

5)  Set the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. Let the Pellets come to full flame. Once you see 

flames come out of the Firepot, turn the Temperature/Dial to SHUT DOWN CYCLE, and let 
the Grill cool down. 

      

Recommendation: For ease of clean-up, line the Grease Drain Pan with heavy-duty 

aluminum foil. Be sure the edges and ends of the foil are tight against the bottom of 
the Grease Drain Pan. 

Position the Heat Baffle, The foil lined Grease Drain Pan and 

Porcelain Grill in their proper locations. 

6)  With the Door open set the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes you 

will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After assuring 
the Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set the Temperature/Dial to any cooking 
setting desired. 

7)  

Note: Before cooking the first batch of food in your new Grill, you will need to 

season the Grill. Turn the Temperature/Dial to HIGH and run for 45 minutes at this 
setting with the Door closed. This must be done before cooking any food on the 
Grill.

   

8)  The Grill should be allowed to preheat for approximately 10 minutes with the Door closed 

before placing food in the grill. 

 

 

WARNING! START THE GRILL ON SMOKE SETTING 

WITH THE DOOR OPEN 

Once the Pellets are ignited, close the Door and 

 set the Temperature Dial to any cooking temperature desired. 

 

WARNING! When operating this Grill, maintain a minimum 

 clearance of 12 inches from Grill to combustibles
