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
