SECTION THREE: STANDARD LIGHTING
PROCEDURE (For Normal Use)
1. Set the cook mode switch or thermostat dial on SMOKE. Turn the power switch ON.
In approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the grill.
The hot rod will operate for four minutes before shutting off. After 4 minutes, the cook
mode switch may be moved to any cooking setting you desire
SECTION FOUR: OPERATING TIPS
1) Your Traeger Grill should never be moved when it is hot. If you are transporting
your grill in a vehicle after cooking on it, make sure that the fire is completely out and
that the unit is completely cool before placing in any vehicle. Never pour water into
the firepot. It will jam the auger.
2) Your grill is designed to operate with door CLOSED. The unit will not properly
function with the door open.
3) NEVER add barbecue pellets by hand to a hot firepot. This is dangerous and you
may get burned. If you run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking, let the unit
cool completely, fill the pellet hopper and restart the unit following the initial start-up
procedure.
4) Your Traeger Grill is equipped with a thermostat control unit. The thermostat
temperature can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the temperature of
your unit.
5) Always make sure that the U-shaped firepot cover and angled drip pan are properly
seated before you begin cooking food in your grill. If the firepot cover is not seated
properly, direct heat and flame could come out of the firepot and cause a grease fire in
your grill.
6) When estimating cooking times, remember that the outside air temperature and
weather conditions will dramatically alter your cooking times. If it is hot outside, it will
take less time for food to cook. If it is cold, wet or windy, it will take longer for food to
cook. The thermostat control unit will help to provide a constant temperature at the
setting you’ve chosen-once the grill has come up to that temperature.
