Control Shutdown cycle
The digital control for the BBQ020 comes with an automatic shut down cycle.
When finished cooking on your BBQ020 set the Dial Knob to the off position, this will
leave the Draft Induction Fan running for ten minutes to burn any excess pellets in the
fire pot. After the fan runs for ten minutes the controller will power off and the fan and it
will stop running. CAUTION! The main power switch will shut the power off to the
controller and the Dial Knob switch will cut off power to the grill components only. When
servicing the controller or any parts ensure that the power supply is disconnected to
avoid a shock hazard.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Adjustment of the “P”(Smoke) settings:- call customer service before adjusting.
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-5 (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!
