IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CONTINUED
•
w
DANGER
Do Not
open the grill door 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 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 22-23, 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, heat baffle, and firepot), 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 pages 22-23,
“Maintaining Your Grill”). Remove all pellets from
the pellet hopper. Run the prime auger sequence
to push 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 on priming your auger).
•
w
DANGER
Do Not
stick your hand in or near
the auger located at the bottom of your pellet
hopper. Severe injury will occur if the auger is turning
and your hand is caught in the auger. Do not remove
the honeycomb guard in your pellet hopper. No
maintenance should be performed on or around
the auger while the grill is turned on or plugged into
power.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
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
®
Grill.
•
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.
•
If using an extension cord, be sure to use a
No. 14 AWG grounded extension cord.

Do not modify the plug on your Traeger
®
Grill, the
extension cord receptacle, or the extension cord plug
in any way, including by removing the ground (earth)
prong.
•
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
Inspect extension cords prior to each use for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. Replace if
damaged. Never use a damaged extension cord.
•
Ensure that the power cord and extension cord are
securely plugged together. Do not plug extension
cords into one another.
•
Keep extension cord clear of snow and standing
water.
•
Ensure that the power cord and extension cord
do not create a tripping hazard. Do not route an
extension cord through a window or doorway.
•
When not in use, the extension cord should be
removed and stored in a location protected from
the sun and out of the reach of children.
