WARNING! Use ONLY TRAEGER® BRAND
HARDWOOD PELLETS, which are specifically made to
work in our grills. Never use heating fuel pellets in the grill.
Fill the hopper with your choice of TRAEGER® BRAND
HARDWOOD PELLETS. Afer adding pellets to the hopper,
close the hopper lid. We recommend you fill the hopper
with pellets at least to the safety grate in the hopper. The
auger tube should take approximately 2 minutes to fill
with pellets and begin dispensing into the firepot.

by listening for the fan running. If the hot rod is getting hot,
it will turn red.
Press and hold the Center button for two seconds in
Temperature Adjustment mode to put the grill into the

DANGER! Do not touch the hot rod.
To confirm that pellets have reached the firepot, simply check to see that they are moving from the auger tube into the
firepot. You only need a few pellets in the firepot to properly ignite your grill and begin the seasoning process. Replace the
grill grates, drip tray, and heat bae afer confirming pellets have reached the firepot.
