• Even if there is ample room in the grill, be cautious
of loading excessive amounts of food or high fat
content foods (e.g., bacon) that can release large
quantities of ammable grease.
• Do not place food near the edges of the grill where
grease drippings may miss the grease drip tray and
fall to the bottom of the grill, where they could come
into contact with embers from the repot and ignite.
• Always make sure the heat bafe and drip tray are
properly seated on their locating brackets. If not
installed correctly, direct heat and ame from the
repot could cause a grease re or damage the
Traeger
®
Grease Management System.
• Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, lighter
uid, or other ammable materials to start or “freshen
up” a re.
• Never use or store ammable liquids or other
combustibles materials near the grill.
• Never attempt to over-re your grill by adding excess
pellets or other combustible materials to the repot
or the hopper.
w DANGER
In the event of a grease re, ensure
the grill door and hopper lid are closed, and then
immediately unplug the grill if you can do so safely.
Move away from the grill until the re is completely
out and grill has cooled down. Until the re has
extinguished and the grill has cooled off:
• Do Not move the grill;
• Do Not throw water on the grill;
• Do Not use salt or baking soda to put out a grease
re; and
• Do Not try to smother the re.
With the grill door and hopper closed, the re will be
starved of oxygen and burn itself out. Never keep the
grill door or hopper lid open during a grease re; if
the grill door is open, use a non-combustible tool that
will allow you to close the grill door while keeping a
safe distance from the grill. An all-class (class ABC)
approved re extinguisher should be used if a re is not
contained within the grill. If an uncontrolled re does
occur, immediately call the Fire Department. When the
re is completely out, allow the grill to cool completely.
Remove everything from the inside of your grill,
including all internal components (grill grates, drip
tray, heat bafe, and repot), pots and pans, and food.
Clean the entire grill, including any grease accumulation
from the Traeger
®
Grease Management System (TGMS)
and all ash and pellets from the grill and repot (see
“Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 30-31). Replace the
repot, heat bafe, grease drip tray, and grill grates,
restart the grill, and resume cooking.
w WARNING
Fire Hazard
Always allow grill to cool completely before using the
Auger function.
w WARNING
Burn Hazard
Ashes should always be completely cool before
handling. Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight-tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending nal disposal. Ashes should be retained in the
closed container until they are disposed.
w WARNING
Burn Hazard
Many parts of the grill become very hot during
operation. During operation of the grill and afterwards,
care must be taken to avoid burns while the grill is hot.
• Never leave the grill unattended when young children
or pets are present.
• Never move the grill when it is operating or hot.
Let the grill cool thoroughly and close the grill door
before moving or attempting to transport. If you are
transporting your grill in a vehicle after cooking on it,
make sure the re is completely out and the grill is
cold before placing it in any vehicle. Never put water
into the repot; it will jam the auger.
• Never add pellets by hand to a hot repot. This is
dangerous and you may be seriously burned. If you
run out of pellets and lose your re while cooking,
let the grill cool completely and start again. (See page
27, “Hopper Clean-out” instructions).
• Grill grates and meat probes are extremely hot when
preheated. Please use caution when loading food
onto the grill grates and when inserting, removing,
or adjusting your meat probes.
• Never move the grill with the door open. Always
close the grill door prior to moving.
w WARNING
Smoke Hazard
• If there is a delayed start and the smoke from
your grill changes from transparent white smoke to
unusual billowing thick non-transparent white smoke
that turns to a yellow tinted smoke, immediately turn
off your grill using the main power switch on the back
of the pellet hopper or unplug the power cord.
Do Not initiate the shut-down cycle.
•
w DANGER
Do Not open the grill door to air out
the grill. Stay away from the grill until smoke clears
and the grill completely cools.
• This may be the result of a pellet overow condition,
which is caused by partial ignition of pellets. If
allowed to continue long enough, gases will build
up, which can ignite. If these gases ignite they
