DANGER
In the event of a grease fire, ensure
w
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 fire is completely
out and grill has cooled down. Until the fire has
extinguished and the grill has cooled off:
•
Do Not move the grill;
•
Do Not throw water on the grill;
Do Not try to smother the fire.
•
With the grill lid and hopper closed, the fire will be
starved of oxygen and burn itself out. Never keep the
grill lid or hopper lid open during a grease fire; 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 fire
extinguisher should be used if a fire is not contained
within the grill. If an uncontrolled fire does occur,
immediately call the Fire Department.
When the fire 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, and heat baffle), 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 firepot (see
"Maintaining Your Grill" on pages 23-24. Replace the
heat baffle, grease drip tray and grill grates, restart the
grill, and resume cooking.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
w
Always allow grill to cool completely before removing an
auger jam.
WARNING
Ashes should always be completely cool
w
before handling.
WARNING
Burn Hazard
w
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 fire is completely out and the grill is
cold before placing it in any vehicle. Never put water
into the firepot; it will jam the auger.
•
Never add pellets by hand to a hot firepot. This is
dangerous and you may be seriously burned. If you
run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking,
let the grill cool completely and start again.
WARNING
Smoke Hazard
w
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.
DANGER
Do Not open the grill door to air out
•
w
the grill. Stay away from the grill until smoke clears
and the grill completely cools.
This may be the result of a pellet overflow 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 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 23-24, a hazardous
grease fire may also result.
•
If a burp occurs, let the grill cool down completely,
remove all internal components (including grill grates,
drip tray, and heat baffle), and thoroughly clean all
ash and pellets from the grill and firepot (see page
23, "Cleaning the Ash from Inside and Around the
Firepot") and ensure that grease and other buildup
has been removed (see page 23, "Maintaining Your
Grill"). Remove all pellets from the pellet hopper. Run
the prime auger sequence to push out all pellets out
of the auger and dispose of those pellets. Clean all
pellets out of the firepot. Fill hopper with new pellets
and prime the auger (see "Seasoning Your Grill" on
page 13 for instructions to prime your auger).
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
w
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
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.
