SECTION FOUR: OPERATING TIPS 

 

1)  The Temperature Dial can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the 

cooking temperature of the Grill. The HIGH/HIGHER Temperature settings are for 
Grilling. The MED/MID RANGE Temperature settings are for Slow Cooking. The 
SMOKE setting is for Smoking and adding Smoke Flavor to foods being cooked. The 
SMOKE setting can also be used to “hold” foods at approximately 180 to 200 
degrees F. 

2)  Your TRAEGER PELLET GRILL should never be moved while it is hot. 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. 

3)  The TRAEGER PELLET GRILL is designed to operate with the Door CLOSED. 

Cooking with the Door open greatly lengthens your cooking time. 

4)  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 completely cool and start again with the 

INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS.  

5)  Make sure the Heat Baffle is properly seated on its locating brackets. The long lips of 

the Heat Baffle should be pointing down over the Firepot. If not seated properly, 
direct heat and flame could come up out of the Firepot and cause a grease fire in the 
Grill. 

6)  When estimating cooking times, the outside temperature will be an important factor. 

If it is hot outside, it will take less time for food to cook. If it is cold, wet or windy, it 
will take longer. 

7)  Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining the Grill by failing to clean your 

Grease Drain Pan, V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube on a consistent 
basis. In the unlikely event of a grease fire while cooking, 

TURN THE SWITCH/DIAL 

OFF and KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED

 until the fire is completely out. Never keep 

the Door open during a grease fire. If it does not go out, lightly sprinkle baking soda 
on the fire. 

Be careful not to burn yourself.

 If this does not work, then carefully 

remove the food from the Grill. Then keep the Door closed until the fire is completely 
out. 

Again, be careful not to burn yourself.

 When the Grill is completely cool, 

remove the Porcelain Grill and replace the foil on the Grease Drain Pan. Clean any 
grease accumulation from the V-shaped Grease Drain and the Grease Drain Tube. 
Replace the Grease Drain Pan and the Porcelain Grill in their proper positions, 
restart the Grill and resume cooking. 

 

SECTION FIVE: MAINTAINING 

YOUR NEW GRILL 

 

1)  Change the aluminum foil on the Grease Drain Pan frequently. Periodically, clean 

the grease out of the V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube and off of the 
interior surfaces of the Grill. Empty the Grease Bucket occasionally and line with 
aluminum foil for easy clean-up. It is easier to clean off accumulated grease when 
the Grill is warm. 

BE CAREFUL NOT TO BURN YOURSELF.

 If too much grease is 

allowed to build up on the Grease Drain Pan and in the V-shaped Grease Drain, or 
is allowed to plug the Grease Drain Tube, a grease fire could result. We recommend 
cleaning these locations regularly. 

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.
