THIS?

WITH THE TRAEGER DIGITAL CONTROL, WHAT DIAL SETTING IS RECOMMENDED
FOR STARTING THE GRILL?
The auto-start procedure is the same for all Grill Controls. With the Door open, turn the
Switch/Dial ON and Temperature Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes you will
notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After assuring the
Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set the Temperature Dial to any cooking setting
desired.

TRAEGER GRILL COVER to protect the Grill is highly recommended! Covers and
touch-up paint are available from your local Traeger Dealer, or log on to our Web Site
