2) Outside surfaces: DO NOT use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive
cleaning pads on the outside Grill surfaces. Use warm soapy water to cut the
grease.
3) If the Grill is stored outside during the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure
that water does not get into the Pellet Hopper. Wood pellets, when wet, expand
greatly and will jam you Auger.
A TRAEGER GRILL COVER to protect the Grill is
highly recommended! Covers are available from your local Traeger Dealer, or
log on to our Web Site –
www.traegergrills.com
.
4) Depending on use, periodically remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and
Heat Baffle to clean the ash from in and around the Firepot. A shop-vac is handy for
this chore. Make sure the Grill is COLD before starting this procedure.
5) We recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the Grill. After
removing your food, give the Porcelain Grill a quick brushing. It takes only a minute
and it will be ready the next time you want to use the Grill.
Be careful not to burn
yourself.
SECTION SIX: FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
WHY WON’T MY GRILL IGNITE?
1) Verify power at the electrical outlet.
a) If Power Cord is connected to a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter), check and reset
if necessary.
b) Initiate startup.
Still no ignition – Proceed to step 2.
2) Disconnect Power Cord from electrical outlet.
a) Remove the Control and check the fuse on back. Replace the fuse if blown.
Reinstall the Control!
b) Unplug Hot Rod connector (Purple/White wire pair), plug Power Cord into an
appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and turn the Switch/Dial ON.
NOTE:
At
this point the Grill will not ignite.
c) Check the Draft Inducer Fan and the Auger Drive Motor for operation. If both
are operating -- the Hot Rod needs to be replaced. If one or both are not
operating, contact Traeger Technical Support
(SECTION SEVEN)
for additional
troubleshooting help. Contact your Traeger Dealer or the Traeger Parts
Department
(SECTION SEVEN)
to place an order.
3) If the problem is identified to be a failed Hot Rod, the Grill can still be used to cook
and smoke by following the
MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
in
SECTION
THREE
of this OWNER’S MANUAL.
WHY ARE NO PELLETS BEING DELIVERED INTO THE FIREPOT?
1) Verify that there are Pellets in the Pellet Hopper. If this is the
INITIAL FIRING
or the
Grill has run out of Pellets, allow sufficient time for the Pellets to travel from the
Pellet Hopper to the Firepot (can take up to 7 minutes).
2) Initiate startup. See
INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS
in
SECTION TWO
of this
OWNER’S MANUAL.
