• 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 grease drip tray is properly
seated on its 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.
• Change drip tray liners frequently to reduce the risk of re.
• Do Not use drip tray liners when cooking at
temperatures above 375°F (190°C), to reduce the
risk of re.
w DANGER
In the event of a grease re, ensure the
grill lid 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 lid and hopper closed, the re will be
starved of oxygen and burn itself out. Never keep the
grill lid or hopper lid open during a grease re; if the grill
lid is open, use a non-combustible tool that will allow
you to close the grill lid 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 grate, grease
drip tray, 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 24-25). Replace the
repot, grease drip tray, and grill grate, restart the grill,
and resume cooking.
w WARNING
Fire Hazard
Always allow grill to cool completely before cleaning the auger.
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 lid
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.
• Never move the grill with the lid open. Always close
the grill lid 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 button on the back
of the pellet hopper or unplug the power cord.
Do Not initiate the shutdown cycle.
•
w DANGER
Do Not open the grill lid 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 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 lid 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 24-25, a hazardous grease re
may also result.
