GREASE MANAGEMENT:
CAUTION!
Grease fires are caused by not
properly maintaining the grill and failing to
clean the Traeger Grease Management System
(TGMS) on a consistent basis (see “Maintaining
Your Grill”). In the unlikely event of a grease
fire while cooking, turn the grill off and keep
the door closed until the fire is completely out.
Never keep the door open during a grease fire.
If the fire does not go out, lightly sprinkle
baking soda on the fire.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to burn yourself. If
this does not work, carefully remove the food
from the grill and keep the door closed until the
fire is completely out. Again, be careful not to
burn yourself. When the grill is completely cool,
remove all internal components. Clean any grease
accumulation from the TGMS. Replace the grease
drip tray and grill grates, restart the grill, and
resume cooking.
Although rare, you may see an error message display on your control panel. Please refer to the following chart
for potential issues and how to resolve them:
CODE
ERROR
SOLUTION
LEr
Low temperature
This will occur if the temperature of the grill falls below 120°F for 10 minutes,
causing the grill to go into shutdown mode. To fix, remove any pellets from the
firepot. Turn the controller off and then on again and restart your grill. If the
problem persists, call customer service.
HEr
High temperature
This error will occur when the temperature in the grill reaches temperatures
above 550°F for more than 45 seconds. Let the grill cool, then turn off the
grill. Clear out any remaining pellets from the firepot and restart your grill.
If the problem persists, call customer service.
Er1
Bad probe
Your probe will need to be replaced.
Er2
Thermocouple
disconnected
Check the connection underneath the hopper for the thermocouple. If it is
tight, your thermocouple will need to be replaced.
Er3
Failed to ignite
Check the connection of the hot rod. If the connection is good, then the hot
rod will most likely need to be replaced
Er4
Fan disconnected
Check the connection of the fan. If the connection is good, then the fan will
most likely need to be replaced.
Er5
Igniter disconnected
Check the connection of the hot rod. If the connection is good, then the hot
rod will most likely need to be replaced.
Er6
Auger disconnected
Check the connection for the auger. If the connection is good, then auger
motor will most likely need to be replaced.
Er7
Auger jammed
With the grill in Idle mode, press and hold the DOWN and IGNITE buttons at
the same time. The display will flash “Clr,” and for the next 60 seconds, the
auger will cycle between moving forwards and backwards to clear the jam.
To stop the sequence before it is complete, press and hold the DOWN and
IGNITE buttons at the same time.
