ERROR MESSAGES

and how to resolve them.

OPERATING TIPS

1. Only operate your grill on a level surface.
2. You can change the temperature at any time during grilling to
increase or decrease cooking temperature. It is best practice to
give the grill some time to reach the desired temperature before
making additional temperature changes.
3. To change between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
Press and hold the "Up" and "Down" buttons simultaneously
a.
for 3 seconds.
Press the center button to confirm and exit.
b.
You will now see temperatures displayed in the format you've
chosen.
4. Your Traeger® Grill is designed to operate with the lid closed.
Opening the grill lid greatly lengthens your cooking time.
When putting frozen, raw, cold, or otherwise uncooked food
on the grill, this may result in a temporary drop of your grill's
internal temperature.
5. Do not overload cooking surface with excessive amounts of food
that reach beyond the edges of the footprint of the grease drip
tray. This can lead to interference with proper cooking airflow and
may lengthen the time to reach the set temperature.
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 a safe temperature for eating.
The Keep Warm function is not designed to properly cook your
food.
7. Keep the grill clean. Regularly inspect your grill for accumulated
grease. Most 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" on pages 24-25). Even if there is ample room in the grill, be
cautious of loading excessive amounts of food that can release
large quantities of flammable grease (for example more than a
pound of bacon). If the grill has not been well maintained or if
your previous cooks have produced large quantities of flammable
grease, it is highly recommended that the grease be cleaned from
the grill before using it again.
NOTE:
Take care of your Traeger® Grill by using a new Traeger
drip tray liner before each cook to help keep your grill clean.
