2. The sawdust is compressed into pellets using heat and pressure.
   
3. Pellets fuel the fire and add flavor to make meals unforgettable.
   

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR PRODUCT

Refer to the Assembly Guide to assemble and install your Traeger Grill.

PARTS AND FEATURES

A 20 lb. (9.1 kg) capacity pellet hopper will keep you cooking for hours. Pair that with Traeger's Controller with WiFIRE Technology and delicious food is just a "click" away.

With 575-780 in.² (0.37-0.50 m²) of grilling space, your Traeger Grill has the real estate for party-sized orders of T-bones or racks of ribs, with enough room left over to handle those side dishes, too.

An adjustable 2-tier grate system offers options to load up both grill grates for a true feast; remove the top grate for taller food like a colossal turkey, or use the bottom grate to sear for perfect grill marks.

Traeger's signature grill shape/downdraft exhaust creates a vortex of convection. It circulates hot, smoky air around the cooking chamber, surrounding your food with wood-fired heat for even cooking on all sides. The smoky air is always present during cooking, even if you don't see it.

With the Traeger Silverton XL Grill, controlling your grill is as easy as pulling out your phone. The WiFIRE Technology allows you to set and adjust temperatures automatically with recipes our Traeger app. To download the app for Android, go to the Google Play Store; for Apple, go to the App Store. For information on how to use the app, go to traeger.com/app. See "Connecting Your Unit" section for instructions on how to connect your grill to your phone.

You don't have to worry about drippings flaring up and causing nasty fireballs that destroy your meal because Traeger Wood Fired Grills cook by using indirect heat. Most drippings are safely channeled into an external grease bucket for easy disposal.

TIPS:

• Take care of your grill by using a new Traeger drip tray liner before each cook to help keep your grill clean.
• Keep your grill clean. See "Operating Tips" and "Maintaining Your Product".

SEASONING YOUR UNIT

TO BE USED ON INITIAL FIRING ONLY. In order to ensure proper and safe operation of the grill, follow the instructions below, first, to prime the auger ("charge" the auger tube with pellets) and, second, to season your grill (run your grill at a high temperature).

1. Remove the porcelain-coated grill grates, grease drip tray, and ash collection system from the inside of the grill.
   
2. PLUG APPEARANCE MAY VARY BY REGION.
   With the main power switch on the back of the pellet hopper in the OFF (O) position, plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded/ earthed electrical outlet.
   
3. Open the hopper lid. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the auger before adding pellets to the hopper. After adding pellets to the hopper, close the hopper lid. We recommend you fill the hopper with pellets at least to the safety grate in the hopper.
   
4. Turn grill on: Flip the main power switch on the back of the grill to ON (I); then press the Standby button to wake the grill. Press MENU to display the main menu. Turn the dial to select AUGER; then select Prime Auger.
   The auger tube will take a few minutes to fill with pellets and begin dispensing into the firepot. Your grill display will tell you the specific time. To confirm that pellets have reached the firepot, simply check to see that they are moving from the auger tube into the firepot. You only need a few pellets in the firepot to properly ignite your grill and begin the seasoning process. Select Done and replace the grill grates, grease drip tray, and ash collection system after confirming pellets have reached the firepot.
   
5. The home screen will display "Press dial to set temp." Turn the selection dial clockwise to 350°F (175°C) and press the dial. Next, close grill door, press IGNITE, and run grill for 20 minutes once it has reached 350°F (175°C).
   

NOTE: To select or confirm a menu option, turn the selection dial to the desired option and press the center of the dial to lock in your selection.

6. Adjust temperature to 500°F (260°C) and run grill for an additional 30 minutes after it reaches 500°F (260°C).
   NOTE: If the auger jams during use, the grill can unjam itself. First, the grill must cool completely for safety. Then press MENU to display the main menu. Turn the dial to select AUGER, then select Clear Auger Jam. The auger will run backwards for 60 seconds to clear any jammed pellets. You do not need to remove the pellets in the pellet hopper.
   
7. Turn off the grill by pressing and holding the Standby button for 3 seconds, initiating the shut-down cycle. When the full shut-down cycle finishes, seasoning of your grill is complete.
   NOTE: The shut-down cycle will run for approximately 15 minutes. You must allow the shut-down cycle to complete for proper operation of your grill.

CUSTOM-FIT COVER

Protect your Traeger Silverton XL Grill with a Traeger brand custom-fit cover, designed to protect your grill from the elements. This durable grill cover is available at your local dealer or for purchase at traeger.com.

FIRE HAZARD: DO NOT INSTALL YOUR GRILL COVER UNTIL THE GRILL HAS COMPLETELY COOLED.

MAINTAINING YOUR PRODUCT

Fire Hazard: Grease fires are most frequently caused by failing to properly maintain the grill by not cleaning the grease from the grill on a consistent basis.

Turn the main power switch on back of the pellet hopper OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord before initiating any of the maintenance below.

1. CLEANING YOUR TRAEGER GREASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ("TGMS"):
   During your cooks, grease drippings will fall onto (i) the grease drip tray and be channeled into (ii) the grease drain (the "Trough") and then out of the grill through (iii) the grease drain tube, (iv) to be collected in the grease bucket. These four components are the components of the Traeger Grease Management System (TGMS). Grease will accumulate in all of these locations and should be regularly cleaned to reduce the risk of fire.
   How often you need to clean the TGMS depends on the fat content of your food. Fattier foods will require cleaning of the TGMS more often, and sometimes you will need to clean the TGMS after every cook.
   Visible pieces of food and bits of hardened grease or other buildup indicate a need for cleaning.
   All components of the TGMS should be inspected before each use for signs of grease buildup.

Accumulated grease is easier to clean off when the grill is still warm—not hot. Be careful not to burn yourself. Heat-protective gloves are recommended.

Clean the grease out of the V-shaped grease drain (the "Trough") and grease drain tube. We recommend cleaning these locations regularly.

Remove all grill grates, grease drip tray, and ash collection system. This will provide access to the V-shaped grease drain and grease drain tube opening inside the grill. Scrape the grease accumulation from inside the V-shaped grease drain and grease drain tube using a stiff, nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened grease can be pushed down through the grease drain tube and will fall into the grease bucket. Wipe up remaining grease residue with paper towels or disposable rags.

Regularly clean the grease out of the grill on the interior bottom and sides. If grease is allowed to build up, a grease fire could result.

Scrape the grease accumulation from inside the grill using a stiff, nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened grease can be removed using paper towels or disposable rags. Excessive scraped-off residue can be cleaned using a vacuum cleaner. A utility-type vacuum cleaner having a metal collection canister without a bag would be best for this task.

Inspect and clean the ash collection system for any grease or debris.
NOTE: Traeger's drip tray liners can help keep your grill clean and can help reduce the risk of flare-ups.

2. CREOSOTE REMOVAL:
   When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool exhaust vent of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote accumulates on the exhaust vent lining. When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot fire. Airborne grease particles will travel through the cooking chamber, and some of this airborne grease will accumulate on the exhaust vent lining, similar to creosote, which could contribute to a fire.
   Periodically scrape the creosote and grease accumulation from the inside of the vertical and horizontal sections of the flue pipe or interior lining using a stiff, nonmetallic tool. A wooden paint stir stick, for example, would work for this task. Once the creosote and grease residue have been loosened from the interior lining and ventilation gaps in this downdraft system, much of it can be removed with paper towels or disposable rags. Do not spray water or other liquid cleaners onto the inside of your grill to remove creosote.
   NOTE: The Traeger Downdraft Exhaust System should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when a creosote and/or grease buildup has occurred.
   When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a fire.
3. OUTSIDE STORAGE:
   
   If the grill is stored outside, care should be taken to ensure that water does not get into the pellet hopper.
   Wood pellets expand greatly when wet and will jam your auger.
   Always cover your grill when not in use with a Traeger Grill Cover.
   This custom-fit cover can be purchased at traeger.com.
4. CLEANING THE ASH FROM THE ASH COLLECTION SYSTEM (AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 HOURS OF COOKING):

Make sure that the grill is COLD and ashes are extinguished and COLD before cleaning the ash.

Disposal of ashes should be done only according to the following instructions.

Excess ash in the ash collection system will hamper ignition and may cause your fire to go out. The ash collection system should be inspected occasionally and cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from the ash collection system should be done only when the grill is COLD.

Remove the grill grates and grease drip tray to access the ash collection system.

Carefully lift the ash collection system out of the grill.

Empty ashes out of the opening on the left side of the ash collection system, shaking as needed.

Place the ash collection system back into grill, making sure the hole on the bottom of the ash collection system is aligned with the firepot.

5. DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
   
   Ashes should always be completely cool before handling. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. Ashes should be retained in the closed container until they are disposed.
6. CLEANING THE GRILL GRATES:
   
   Cleaning the grill grates works best while they are still warm. Be careful not to burn yourself. Heat-protective gloves are recommended. We recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the grill. After removing your food, give the grill grate a quick brushing. It takes only a minute and it will be ready the next time you want to use the grill.
7. CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES:

Turn the main power switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord before initiating cleaning.

Use a disposable rag or cloth dampened with Traeger All Natural Cleaner or warm, soapy water to wipe the grease from the outside of the grill. DO NOT use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers, or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces.

8. TESTING THE GRILL AFTER CLEANING:
   Before replacing the ash collection system, grease drip tray, and the grill grates, plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded/ earthed electrical outlet and turn the main power switch ON (I). After you set the temperature and press IGNITE, pellets should fall into the firepot and the hot rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red).

Do not touch the hot rod.
When flames start to come out of the firepot, run the shut-down cycle. Let the grill cool down. Now you're ready to place the ash collection system, grease drip tray, grill grates, and food back onto the grill.

9. POWER CORD
   If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special cord assembly available from Traeger.

This is a connected product. To ensure you are receiving the latest firmware updates to keep your grill operating at its peak performance, always make sure your grill is connected. See "Connecting Your Unit".

Although rare, you may see an error or warning message display on your control panel. Please refer to the following chart for a list of error messages and how to resolve them:

ERROR MESSAGE	SOLUTION
LOW TEMP ERROR (LEr)	This error will occur if the temperature of the grill falls below 120°F (49°C) for 10 minutes, causing the grill to go into shut-down mode. Shut-down mode will continue for an additional 10 minutes. To correct this, you must allow the grill to cool to a safe temperature. Unplug the grill. Completely remove all pellets and ash from the firepot and any pellets that may have fallen inside the grill. When restarting the grill after a Low Temp Error, turn off the controller; then turn it back on. If the problem persists, contact customer service (see "Service"). Ensure that you have properly maintained your grill as described in "Maintaining Your Product". The most common causes of a low temp error are improper startup procedure, lack of maintenance, or running out of pellets during a cook. Fire Hazard. Do not restart grill without completely removing ALL pellets from the firepot. Do not attempt multiple restarts without following these care and cleaning instructions each time. Failure to follow these instructions could cause pellets to overflow into the base of the grill, creating a fire hazard.
HIGH TEMP ERROR (HEr)	This error will occur when the temperature in the grill reaches temperatures above 550°F (288°C) for more than 45 seconds, causing the grill to shut off the fan and auger motor. Let the grill cool completely, then turn off the grill. Inspect the hopper, auger, and firepot. Ensure that you have properly maintained your grill as described in "Maintaining Your Product". Clear out any remaining pellets from the firepot and grill body and restart your grill. If the problem persists, stop using the grill and contact customer service (see "Service"). The most common cause of a high temp error is improper startup procedure after a low temp error.
SLOW IGNITION	This message will occur when there is no significant temperature rise after 15 minutes of ignition. A slow ignition warning does not indicate that it will not ignite; it is simply communicating it is taking a little longer to ignite. Make sure your grill is connected and on the latest firmware.
FAILED TO IGNITE	This error will occur if the grill is out of pellets, pellets are wet, pellets are old, or the igniter did not light. Please scan the QR code in previos section for "Frequently Asked Questions".Make sure your grill is connected and on the latest firmware.
IGNITER DISCONNECT	This error will occur when the controller does not detect the igniter. Check to see if the igniter is connected and restart your grill. See traeger.com/support for proper procedure to check if igniter is disconnected. If the issue persists, contact customer service (see "Service").
FAN DISCONNECTED	This error will occur when the controller is no longer getting a reading from the fan. This is caused by the fan connection on the back of the controller becoming disconnected, a bad wire, or a faulty fan. Go to traeger.com/support for steps on how to check the connection. If the issue persists, contact customer service (see "Service").
AUGER DISCONNECTED	This error will occur when the controller is no longer getting a reading from the auger. This is caused by the auger connection on the back of the controller becoming disconnected, a bad wire, or a faulty auger. Go to traeger.com/support for steps on how to check the connection. If the issue persists, contact customer service (see "Service").
AUGER OVERCURRENT	This error will occur if the auger motor is damaged or jammed. Use the Clear Auger feature inside the control menu and restart your grill. If the problem continues, you may need to replace your auger motor. Go to traeger.com/support or contact customer service (see "Service") for further troubleshooting. Make sure your grill is connected and on the latest firmware.
LOW AMBIENT TEMP	This warning will occur when the ambient temperature at the controller falls below -20°F (-29°C) for 30 seconds. This would likely only display if the LCD heater is broken. The error is cleared once the grill warms up above -20°F (-29°C).
INSERT PROBE	This message will occur during a custom cook if the probe is required and disconnected. Insert the probe into the controller to clear the message.
LOW TEMP DETECTED – "LOW TEMP DETECTED"	This message will occur if grill temperature drops below the set temperature for 4 minutes. This is not necessarily a problem; the grill is just communicating a low temperature detection. If the grill cannot recover from this state, you will likely get a low temp error (LEr). Make sure your grill is connected and on the latest firmware.
THERMOCOUPLE DISCONNECTED ERROR –"TEMP SENSOR OUT"	This error will occur when the controller is no longer getting a reading from the thermocouple. This is caused by the thermocouple connection on the back of the controller becoming disconnected, a bad wire, or a faulty thermocouple. Go to traeger.com/support for steps on how to check the connection. Make sure your grill is connected and on the latest firmware. If issues persist, contact customer service (see "Service").
PELLET LEVEL LOW ERROR – "PELLET LEVEL LOW"	This error will occur when pellet sensor detects the pellet level is at or below 25%. Fill with pellets to remove this message.
PELLET LEVEL CRITICAL ERROR – "ADD PELLETS"	This error will occur when pellet sensor detects the pellet level is at 0%. Fill with pellets to remove this message. Not filling with pellets could result in a low temp error (LEr).
LOW TEMP WARNING	This warning will occur if the grill has lost its fire and failed to recover. Check the pellets and restart the grill.
IGNITION WARNING (APP NOTIFICATION ONLY)	This warning will occur if the grill has not detected a successful ignition in the expected time. Check the pellets and restart the grill.
COLD WEATHER STARTUP	This warning will occur when the ambient temperature falls below -20°F (-29°C) for more than 30 seconds. Although the controller will still work, damage to the controller's display may have occurred. If the grill ignites, check to see if the display operates as expected. If the grill does not ignite, warm the grill and check to see if the display and controller operate as expected. Make sure your grill is connected and on the latest firmware. If not, contact customer service (see "Service").
PROBE FELL OUT	This warning will occur if the probe is not properly inserted into the food. The message is triggered when the probe is above 220°F (104°C) while the grill is running. Reinsert the probe into your food as instructed under the "Cooking with the Meat Probe" section.
BAD PROBE	This warning will occur if the controller detects a malfunction in the probe for 10 seconds. The probe will need to be replaced. To order a new probe, go to traeger.com or contact customer service (see "Service").

OPERATING TIPS

1. We are always working to improve your grill's performance. Make sure your grill is connected and has the latest firmware update. For instructions on checking your firmware version, go to traeger.com.
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: 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 an *. You will now see temperatures displayed in the format you've chosen.
4. Your Traeger Grill is designed to operate with the door closed. Opening the grill door 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 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 Product"). 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 grill by using a new Traeger drip tray liner before each cook to help keep your grill clean.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING YOUR TRAEGER GRILL A MAJOR CAUSE OF FIRES IS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES (AIR SPACES) BETWEEN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AND YOUR GRILL. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT THIS PRODUCT BE INSTALLED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
When properly operated and maintained, cooking with a hardwood fire on a Traeger Grill brings years of enjoyment to you and your friends and family. Your new Traeger Grill is specially designed to make cooking easier while giving you optimal performance with the most flavorful food.
Please read this entire manual before installation and operation. Anyone who uses this grill should also read the entire manual before operating it. 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. Save these instructions. If you are assembling this unit for someone else, provide this manual for the owner to read and save for future reference.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard
Burning wood pellets produces carbon monoxide which may lead to illness, serious injury, and/or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, your pets, or others:

• Only use your Traeger Grill outside in a wellventilated area. This grill is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• Never use your Traeger Grill in any enclosed area or any area without adequate ventilation.
• 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.
• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia or heart disease.

Fire Hazard

• When operating your Traeger Grill, maintain a MINIMUM distance of 18 inches (45.7 cm) from the grill to any nearby combustibles, including wooden railings, home siding, window frames, furniture, trees, and trash receptacles, etc.
  
• Do not install or operate this grill indoors or under a combustible ceiling or overhang.
• Do not install or operate your Traeger Grill on combustible floors or surfaces.
• Do not allow any obstruction within 18 inches of any side of the grill to interfere with ventilation or circulation around grill.
• Remove pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce the risk of fire.

Fire Hazard

• Keep your Traeger Grill clean. Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining your grill and failing to clean its Traeger Grease Management System on a consistent basis (see "Maintaining Your Product").
• Even if there is ample room in the grill, be cautious of loading excessive amounts of food or high fat content foods (e.g., bacon) that can release large quantities of flammable grease.
• Do not place food near the edges of the grill where grease drippings may miss the grease drip tray and fall to the bottom of the grill, where they could come into contact with embers from the firepot and ignite.
• Always make sure the ash collection system and grease drip tray are properly seated on their locating brackets. If not installed correctly, direct heat and flame from the firepot could cause a grease fire or damage the Traeger Grease Management System.
• Never use gasoline, lantern fuel, kerosene, lighter fluid, or other flammable materials to start or "freshen up" a fire.
• Never use or store flammable liquids or other combustibles materials near the grill.
• Never attempt to over-fire your grill by adding excess pellets or other combustible materials to the firepot or the pellet hopper.

In the event of a grease fire, ensure thegrill door and pellet hopper lid are closed, and then immediately unplug the grill if you can do so safely. Move away from the grill until the fire is completely out and grill has cooled down. Until the fire has extinguished and the grill has cooled off:

• Do Not move the grill;
• Do Not throw water on the grill;
• Do Not use salt or baking soda to put out a grease fire; and
• Do Not try to smother the fire.

With the grill door and pellet hopper closed, the fire will be starved of oxygen and burn itself out. Never keep the grill door or hopper lid open during a grease fire; if the grill door is open, use a non-combustible tool that will allow you to close the grill door while keeping a safe distance from the grill. An all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher should be used if a fire is not contained within the grill. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, immediately call the Fire Department. When the fire is completely out, allow the grill to cool completely. Remove everything from the inside of your grill, including all internal components (grill grates, grease drip tray, and ash collection system), pots and pans, and food. Clean the entire grill, including any grease accumulation from the Traeger Grease Management System (TGMS) and all ash and pellets from the grill and firepot (see "Maintaining Your Product"). Replace the ash collection system, grease drip tray, and grill grates, restart the grill, and resume cooking.

Fire Hazard
Always allow grill to cool completely before using the Clear Auger function.

Ashes should always be completely cool before handling. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. Ashes should be retained in the closed container until they are disposed.

Many parts of the grill become very hot during operation. During operation of the grill and afterwards, care must be taken to avoid burns while the grill is hot.

• Never leave the grill unattended when young children or pets are present.
• Never move the grill when it is operating or hot. Let the grill cool thoroughly and close the grill door before moving or attempting to transport. If you are transporting your grill in a vehicle after 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.
• 
  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. (See "Hopper Clean-out" instructions).
• Grill grates and meat probe are extremely hot when preheated. Please use caution when loading food onto the grill grates and when inserting, removing, or adjusting your meat probe.
• Never move the grill with the door open. Always close the grill door prior to moving.

Smoke Hazard

• If there is a delayed start and the smoke from your grill changes from transparent white smoke to unusual billowing thick non-transparent white smoke that turns to a yellow-tinted smoke, immediately turn off your grill using the main power switch on the back of the pellet hopper or unplug the power cord.Do Not initiate the shut-down cycle.
• 
  Do Not open the grill door to air out the grill. Stay away from the grill until smoke clears and the grill completely cools.
• This may be the result of a pellet overflow condition, which is caused by partial ignition of pellets. If allowed to continue long enough, gases will build up, which can ignite. If these gases ignite they will combust all at once, making a loud noise that may startle and/or injure persons in the immediate vicinity of the grill, and the grill door may open and close. This occurrence is sometimes referred to as a "grill burp" and should be avoided. If you have not properly maintained your grill, as described in "Maintaining Your Product", a hazardous grease fire may also result.
• If a burp occurs, let the grill cool down completely, remove all internal components (including grill grates, grease drip tray, and ash collection system), and thoroughly clean all ash and pellets from the grill and firepot (see "Cleaning the Ash from the Ash Collection System") and ensure that grease and other buildup has been removed (see "Maintaining Your Product"). Remove all pellets from the pellet hopper. Run the prime auger sequence to push all pellets out of the auger and dispose of those pellets. Clean all pellets out of the firepot. Fill hopper with new pellets and prime the auger (See "Seasoning Your Unit" for instructions on priming your auger).
• 
  Do Not stick your hand in or near the auger located at the bottom of your pellet hopper. Severe injury will occur if the auger is turning and your hand is caught in the auger. Do not remove the wire guard in your pellet hopper. No maintenance should be performed on or around the auger while the grill is turned on or plugged into power.

Electrical Shock Hazard
Hazardous voltage is present, which can shock, burn, or cause death.

• Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection must be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the operation of this Traeger Grill.
• Disconnect the power cord before servicing the grill unless otherwise noted in this Owner's Manual.
• If using an extension cord, only use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use to prevent electric shock in accordance with the instructions and warnings accompanying that product. This type of cord is designated with "W-A" or "W" on the cord's jacket, such as an extension cord of cord type: SW-A, SOW-A, STW-A, STOW-A, SJW-A, SJOW-A, SJTW-A, or SJTOW-A.
• If using an extension cord, be sure to use a No. 14 AWG grounded extension cord.
• Do not modify the plug on your Traeger Grill, the extension cord receptacle, or the extension cord plug in any way, including by removing the ground (earth) prong.
• Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Inspect extension cords prior to each use for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation. Replace if damaged. Never use a damaged extension cord.
• Ensure that the power cord and extension cord are securely plugged together. Do not plug extension cords into one another.
• Keep extension cord clear of snow and standing water.
• Ensure that the power cord and extension cord do not create a tripping hazard. Do not route an extension cord through a window or doorway.
• When not in use, the extension cord should be removed and stored in a location protected from the sun and out of the reach of children.

• Never modify this grill or install any parts or components not authorized by Traeger for use with this grill. Any modification of this grill or installation of unauthorized parts or components will void the warranty and may create a safety hazard including, without limitation, a fire.
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the grill.
• Do not put a grill cover or anything flammable in the storage space area under the grill.

Use Correct Pellets

• This grill is designed and approved only for all-natural wood cooking pellets designed for wood pellet grills. Use of any other type of fuel in this grill will void the warranty, may lead to the auger becoming jammed, and may create a safety hazard.
• For best results and flavor, use genuine TRAEGER BRAND HARDWOOD PELLETS.
• Always store wood pellets in a dry location, away from heat-producing appliances and other fuel containers.

Do not use fuel pellets. Never use heating fuel pellets in the grill because they may contain hazardous contaminants and additives and may damage the grill.

Minimum Ambient Temperature

• When the ambient temperature falls below -20°F (-29°C), damage to the controller's display may occur.

Improper placement of the meat probe or improper meat probe calibration could result in raw or undercooked meats, which may increase your risk of foodborne illness.

If the fire in the firepot goes out while cooking, 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. This is often caused by improper start-up procedure and/or running out of pellets.

• Press the main power switch at the back of the grill hopper 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 ash collection system.
• Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash)
• Before replacing the ash collection system, grease drip tray, and grill grates, plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded/earthed electrical outlet and turn the main power switch to ON (I). Pellets should fall into the firepot and the hot rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red).

Do not touch the hot rod.

• When flames start to come out of the firepot, press the main power switch to OFF (O). Let the grill cool down. Now you're ready to place the ash collection system, grease drip tray, grill grates, and food back into the grill.
• Do not use accessories not specified for use with this appliance.

• Turn the main power switch to OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord before initiating any maintenance.
• 
  Accumulated grease is easier to clean off when the grill is still warm—not hot. Be careful not to burn yourself. Heat-protective gloves are recommended.
• Cleaning the ash from the ash collection system should be done only when the grill is COLD.
• 
  Cleaning the grill grates works best while they are still warm. Be careful not to burn yourself. Heat-protective gloves are recommended. We recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the grill. After removing your food, give the grill grate a quick brushing. It takes only a minute and it will be ready the next time you want to use the grill.
