OPERATING TIPS
1. You can change the temperature at any time during
grilling to increase or decrease cooking temperature.
To change between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
Select Temperature Units from the Settings menu.
Turn the dial to choose between degrees FAHRENHEIT
(°F) and CELSIUS (°C). Press the center of the dial to
confirm. The selected setting will be indicated with a *.
You will now see temperatures displayed in the format
you’ve chosen.
2. WARNING! Your Traeger® Timberline Grill should never
be moved while it is hot. If you are transporting your
grill in a vehicle afer 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. Your Traeger® Timberline Grill is designed to operate
with the door closed. Cooking with the door open
greatly lengthens your cooking time.
4. CAUTION! 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 cool completely and start again with the
“Hopper Clean-out” instructions on page 22.
5. CAUTION! Make sure the heat bae is properly seated
on its locating brackets. If not seated properly, direct
heat and flame could come up out of the firepot and
cause a grease fire in the grill.
6. Always take into account the type of food you are
cooking.
• Thin foods need high heat and shorter cook
times, while thicker foods need low heat and
longer cook times.
• Vegetables take longer to cook than meats at
the same cooking temperatures.
• Always check that the internal temperature
of the meat that you are cooking reaches safe
temperatures to eat.
• The Keep Warm function is not designed to
properly cook your food.
7. WARNING! If the fire in the firepot goes out while
smoking and there are sucient pellets still in the
pellet hopper, it is important to follow these steps.
Failure to do so may cause a hazardous “overfiring”
of your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets
in the firepot.
• DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch at the back of
the grill to OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord.
Allow the grill to cool thoroughly. Open the door and
remove all food, grill grates, grease drip tray, and heat
bae.
• WARNING! Smoke Hazard
A pellet overflow condition can occur during
start-up, resulting in unusually thick, white smoke
that lasts a long time. If this occurs, power down
your grill with the Main Power switch and unplug.
If this condition continues long enough, gases
can build up from partial ignition and fully ignite,
causing the lid to “burp.” If this burp occurs and
your grill has not been properly maintained as
described in “Maintaining Your Grill” on pages
26-27, a grease fire could result. To remedy this
condition, let the grill cool down completely, remove
all internal components, and thoroughly clean all
ash and pellets from the grill and firepot (see page
27, “Cleaning the Ash from Inside and Around the
Firepot”).
• WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from
inside and around the firepot. (See instructions for
proper handling and disposal of ash on page 27.)
• Before replacing the heat bae, grease drip tray,
and the grill grates, plug the power cord into an
appropriate grounded/earthed electrical outlet and
turn the switch ON (I). Pellets should fall into the
firepot and the hot rod should begin to heat (it will
start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch the hot rod.
• When flames start to come out of the firepot, turn the
switch OFF (O). Let the grill cool down. Now you’re
ready to place the heat bae, grease drip tray, grill
grates, and food back into the grill.
