IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CONTINUED
will combust all at once, making a loud noise that
may startle and/or injure persons in the immediate
vicinity of the grill, and the grill door may open and
close. This occurrence is sometimes referred to as
a “grill burp” and should be avoided. If you have
not properly maintained your grill, as described in
“Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 30-31, a hazardous
grease re may also result.
• If a burp occurs, let the grill cool down completely,
remove all internal components (including grill grates,
drip tray, heat bafe, and repot), and thoroughly
clean all ash and pellets from the grill and repot
(see page 31, “Cleaning the Ash from Inside and
Around the Firepot”) and ensure that grease and
other buildup has been removed (see pages 30-31,
“Maintaining Your Grill”). Remove all pellets from
the pellet hopper. Run the prime auger sequence
to push all pellets out of the auger and dispose of
those pellets. Clean all pellets out of the repot. Fill
hopper with new pellets and prime the auger (See
“Seasoning Your Grill” on page 14 for instructions on
priming your auger).

w DANGER
Do Not stick your hand in or near
the auger located at the bottom of your pellet
hopper. Severe injury will occur if the auger is turning
and your hand is caught in the auger. Do not remove
the wire guard in your pellet hopper. No maintenance
should be performed on or around the auger while
the grill is turned on or plugged into power.
w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Hazardous voltage is present, which can shock, burn,
or cause death.
• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection
must be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be
used for the operation of this Traeger
®
Grill.
• Disconnect the power cord before servicing the grill
unless otherwise noted in this Owner’s Manual.
• If using an extension cord, only use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use to prevent electric
shock in accordance with the instructions and
warnings accompanying that product. This type of
cord is designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s
jacket, such as an extension cord of cord type:
SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A,
SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
• If using an extension cord, be sure to use a

extension cord receptacle, or the extension cord plug
in any way, including by removing the ground (earth)
prong.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Inspect extension cords prior to each use for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. Replace if
damaged. Never use a damaged extension cord.
• Ensure that the power cord and extension cord are
securely plugged together. Do not plug extension
cords into one another.
• Keep extension cord clear of snow and standing
water.
• Ensure that the power cord and extension cord
do not create a tripping hazard. Do not route an
extension cord through a window or doorway.
• When not in use, the extension cord should be
removed and stored in a location protected from
the sun and out of the reach of children.
