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 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 *.
2. You will now see temperatures displayed in the format
you’ve chosen.
3. WARNING! Your Traeger® Pro Series 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.
4. Your Traeger®
Pro Series Grill is designed to operate
with the door closed. Cooking with the door open
greatly lengthens your cooking time.
5. 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 18.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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 20-21, 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 21,
“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 21.)
• 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.
