6) Connect the Molex Connectors according to the color coding shown on the Digital
Control Wiring Diagram. You may have some excess length for the RTD Wires. This
additional wiring can be coiled and secured to the Digital Control Wiring with a cable
tie or a twist tie. Make sure that none
of the wires interfere with the fan blades on the
Draft Inducer Fan or the Auger Drive Motor.
Replace the Grease Drain Pan and the Porcelain Grill, connect the Power Cord to an
appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and you are ready to go.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Adjustment of the “P”(Smoke) settings:
Due to the widely varying temperature swings and operating environments experienced
by our customers, the digital controllers contain a function that will allow the grill to
better function in extreme temperature conditions for the smoke function. These
changes should only be performed when the conditions are expected to be present for
extended periods.
In order to access this functionality, locate the small hole on the face plate of the digital
controller just to the right of the red digital display. Turn the controller knob to the 225
setting. Using a very small screwdriver or other pointed object (a bent paper clip works
well), insert into the hole and use it to depress the micro switch located inside. Each
time you depress the switch, the digital readout will change from a temperature display
to a “P” setting followed by a number. The factory default setting is P-2. The setting
range available is from P-0 to P-9 (however it is not recommended that a setting above
5 ever be used). The “P” readout will change each time you depress the micro switch.
With all “P” settings, the Auger motor on time remains constant at 15 seconds while
the Auger motor time off is influenced by the “P” setting.
P-2 Setting (factory): Auger motor on time of 15 seconds, off time: 65 seconds.
P-3 Setting: Auger motor on 15 seconds, off time: 75 seconds
P-4 Setting: Auger motor on 15 seconds, off time: 85 seconds
P-5 Setting: Auger motor on 15 seconds, off time: 95 seconds
Increasing the number decreases the Smoking Temperature. Decreasing the number
increases the Smoking Temperature.
Note: The Traeger Service Department recommends a setting no higher than P-5! Also,
once
a Smoke Adjustment is made, the temperature on the digital readout should be
monitored. If the temperature is consistently below 160 degrees F while “Smoking”,
there is a risk of losing the fire in the firepot. If your fire should go out while “Smoking”,
turn the controller to the OFF POSITION. DO NOT attempt to restart the Grill until you
complete the recovery process (below). Failure to do so could result in an “over firing”
condition and can cause serious damage to your Grill.
Recovery process:
· Make sure that the Grill is cool to the touch!
· Open the Door and remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat
Baffle.
