IMPORTANT SAFETY

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING
THE APPLIANCE
Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet-burning appliance. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Contact local building or fire officials
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
Cooking with a hardwood fire brings years of enjoyment – to you and your lucky friends and family. Your new
Traeger Grill is specially designed to make cooking easier while giving you optimal performance with the most
®
savory-flavored food.
As with all grills and cooking appliances, any time you burn a material—whether it be wood, gas, or charcoal—
organic gases are formed during the cooking process. One gas that can be particularly harmful in concentrated
quantities is carbon monoxide. In an outdoor, open-air environment, carbon monoxide should naturally dissipate
and not harm you.
WARNING! Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, pets,
or others:
• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting,
sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide
reduces the blood's ability to carry oxygen.
Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss
of consciousness and death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold- or
•
flu-like symptoms. Carbon monoxide poisoning,
which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is
often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the
effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
If you are assembling this unit for someone else, provide this manual for the owner to read and save for
future reference.
DANGER!

• Plug into an appropriate 3-prong outlet.

power cord. When installing the receptacle, follow
the National Electrical Code and local codes and
