SECTION THREE: SUBSEQUENT START-UP 

 

      With the Door open, turn the Switch ON 

(--)

 and the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. In 

approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill 
as the Pellets ignite. After assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set 
the Temperature/Dial to any cooking setting desired. The Grill should be allowed to 
pre-heat for approximately 10 minutes with the Door closed before placing food in 
the Grill. 

 
 

WARNING!

 If at any time, the Grill fails to light or the fire in the Firepot goes out while 

cooking or smoking, when sufficient pellets are still in the Pellet Hopper, it is important 
to follow these steps. Failure to do so may cause a hazardous “over-firing” of your grill 
due to an excess of unburned pellets in the Firepot. 

 

1) 

DANGER! 

Turn the Switch OFF 

(o)

 and disconnect the Power Cord. If the Grill is still 

hot, allow it to thoroughly cool. Open the Door and remove all food, the Porcelain 
Grill, Grease Drain Pan and the Heat Baffle.  

2) 

WARNING!

 Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the     

Firepot. 

(See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash in Section    

Five)

 

3) Before replacing the Heat Baffle, Grease Drain Pan and the Porcelain Grill, plug the 

power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet and restart the Grill. Pellets 
should fall into the Firepot and the Hot Rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn 
red). 

CAUTION! Do not touch it. 

4) If this procedure 

is

 successful, you will soon see flames come out of the Firepot. 

Then turn the Switch OFF 

(o)

, and let the Grill cool down. Position the Heat Baffle, 

the Grease Drain Pan and Porcelain Grill in their proper locations. With the Door 
open, turn the Switch ON 

(--)

 and the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 

2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets 
ignite. After assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set the 
temperature/Dial to any cooking setting desired. 

5) If this procedure 

is not

 successful, see 

Section Six: FREQUENTLY ASKED 

QUESTIONS 

for troubleshooting tips or contact Traeger Technical Support 

(Section 

Seven) 

to help diagnose the problem 

before

 proceeding to the 

MANUAL LIGHTING 

INSTRUCTIONS 

below

 
 

MANUAL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS: 

 

If the 

Hot Rod

 only is not operating, the Grill can still be used to cook and smoke using 

the 

MANUAL LIGHTING PROCEDURE 

below: 

 

1) 

DANGER! 

Turn the Switch OFF 

(o)

 and disconnect the Power Cord. Allow the Grill to

 

thoroughly cool if it is still hot. From beneath the Pellet Hopper, disconnect the Hot 
Rod (Purple / White wire pair as shown in the wiring diagram near the end of this 
manual). You will need to remove the Hopper Bottom Panel to access the wiring. 
Once the Hot Rod is disconnected, replace the Hopper Bottom Panel and plug the 
Power Cord back into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet.  

2) Open the Pellet Hopper and fill with TRAEGER BBQ PELLETS. 

 

WARNING! USE ONLY TRAEGER BRAND BBQ WOOD PELLETS, which are 
specifically made to work in our Grills. NEVER use heating fuel pellets in the
