IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING AND USING YOUR TFB88/TFB57PUB TRAEGER® GRILL
A MAJOR CAUSE OF FIRES IS FAILURE TO MAINTAIN REQUIRED CLEARANCES (AIR SPACES)
BETWEEN COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS. 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 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.
Please read this entire manual before installation, and 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.
w DANGER 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.
w WARNING 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.
18″ (45.7 cm)
18″ (45.7 cm)
· 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 put a grill cover or anything flammable in the storage space area
under the grill.
· Remove pots and pans while the operating appliance is unattended, to reduce
the risk of fire.
2
w WARNING 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 Grill” on pages 23-24).
· 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 heat baffle and drip tray are properly seated on its
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 hopper.
w DANGER In the event of a grease fire, ensure the grill door and 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; and · Do Not try to smother
the fire. With the grill lid and hopper closed, the fire will be starved of
oxygen and burn itself out. Never keep the grill lid 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, drip tray, and heat baffle), 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 Grill” on pages 23-24. Replace the
heat baffle, grease drip tray and grill grates, restart the grill, and resume
cooking.
w WARNING Fire Hazard Always allow grill to cool completely before clearng the
auger.
w WARNING Burn Hazard 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.
w WARNING Burn Hazard 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 page 22, “Hopper Clean-
out” instructions).
· Never move the grill with the lid open. Always close the grill lid prior to
moving.
w WARNING 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.
· w DANGER Do Not open the grill door to air out the grill. Stay away from the
grill until smoke clears and the grill completely cools.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (CONTINUED)
· 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 Grill” on pages 23-24, a hazardous grease fire may also result.
· If a burp occurs, let the grill cool down completely, remove all internal
components (including grill grates, drip tray, and heat baffle), and
thoroughly clean all ash and pellets from the grill and firepot (see page 24,
“Cleaning the Ash from Inside and Around the Firepot”) and ensure that grease
and other buildup has been removed (see pages 23-24, “Maintaining Your
Grill”). 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 Grill” on page 13 for instructions to prime
your auger).
w DANGER 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 honeycomb 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.
w WARNING 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.
w CAUTION
· 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.
w CAUTION 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.
w WARNING 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.
4
w CAUTION Minimum Ambient Temperature · When the ambient temperature falls
below -20°F
(-29°C) damage to the controller’s display may occur.
w WARNING 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 startup procedure and/or running out of pellets. · Turn 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, drip tray, and
heat baffle. · Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the
firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash on page
24.) · Before replacing the heat baffle, 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). w 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 baffle, grease drip
tray, grill grates, and food back into the grill.
· 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.
· A dedicated vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from the firepot,
but this must be done with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again,
cleaning the ash from in and around the firepot 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.

PELLET HOPPER
BARREL SHAPE
An 18 lb. (8.2 kg) capacity pellet hopper will keep you cooking for hours.
Pair that with Traeger’s Digital Pro Controller and delicious food is just a
“click” away.
GRILLING SPACE
Traeger’s signature barrel shape 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.
NO FLARE-UPS
With either 884 sq. in. (0.57 m2) (Pro Series 34) or 572 sq. in. (0.37 m2) (Pro Series 22) of grilling space and up to 76,000 BTUs of wood-fired heat, your Traeger® Grill has the real estate and cooking power for party-sized orders of T-bones or racks of ribs, with enough room left over to handle various side dishes, too.
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. All drippings are safely channeled into an external grease
bucket for easy disposal.
TIP: Take care of your Traeger® Grill by using a new
Traeger drip tray liner before each cook to help keep your grill clean.
WARNING! Keep your grill clean. See “Operating
Tips” (page 27) and “Maintaining Your Grill” (pages 23-24).

ADDITIONAL CONTROL FUNCTIONS
CONTROL SHUT DOWN CYCLE The control for
this grill comes with an automatic shut-down cycle. When finished cooking on
your grill, set the temperature dial to the SHUT DOWN CYCLE position. This
will leave the draft induction fan running for 10 minutes to burn any excess
pellets in the firepot. After 10 minutes, the control will power off and the
fan will stop running.
DANGER! The main power switch will shut off
power to the control, and the temperature dial switch will shut off power to
the grill components only. When servicing the control or any other parts,
ensure that the power supply is disconnected to avoid an electrical shock
hazard.
CONTROL SAFETY FEATURES
The control comes equipped with two safety features that will help you keep
the grill operating correctly.
LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM
If the grill stays below 120ºF (49°C) as read by the RTD temperature sensor
for a period of 10 minutes, the control will go into an alarm state and the
display will read “LeR.” This will turn off all power to the internal
components of the grill. The display will stay in this state until you turn
off the main power switch. If this condition was caused from running out of
pellets, add pellets to the hopper and re-prime your auger.
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM
If the grill reaches an internal temperature reading of 550ºF (288°C) as read
by the RTD temperature sensor, the control will go into alarm state and the
display will read “HeR.” This will turn off all power to the internal
components of the grill. The display will stay in this state until you turn
off the main power switch.
Whenever either of these alarm conditions occurs, let the grill cool down
completely, remove all internal components, and thoroughly clean all ash and
pellets from the grill body and firepot (see page 24, “Cleaning the Ash from
Inside and Around the Firepot”). Contact Traeger Technical Support if you need
help (see page 29).

MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL
w WARNING Fire Hazard: Grease fires are most frequently caused by failing to
properly maintain the grill by not cleaning the grease from the unit on a
consistent basis.
w WARNING Turn the main power switch on back of the grill 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.
w CAUTION 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 heat baffle. This will provide
access to the V-shaped grease drain and grease
Probe 1 Probe Selector
Probe 2
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 barrel 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 barrel 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 as described in Step 4 (page 24) when cleaning the firepot of
ashes.
Inspect and clean the heat baffle 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
slowburning 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. This
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 has 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.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the
risk of a fire.
3. OUTSIDE STORAGE: w CAUTION 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.

MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL (CONTINUED)
4. CLEANING THE ASH FROM INSIDE AND AROUND
THE FIREPOT (EVERY 20 HOURS OF USE): w WARNING Make sure that the grill is
COLD and ashes are extinguished and COLD before cleaning the ash.
w WARNING Disposal of ashes should be done only according to the following instructions.
Excess ash in the firepot will hamper ignition and may cause your fire to go out. The firepot should be inspected occasionally and cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from in and around the firepot should be done only when the grill and ash are COLD.
Remove the grill grates,
grease drip tray, and heat
baffle to provide access to
the firepot and the interior
of the grill. Much of the
Probe 1 Probe 2
Probe Selector
ash outside of the firepot
can be removed from the
grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar
tool.
w WARNING A dedicated vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from the firepot, but this must be done with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again, cleaning the ash from in and around the firepot should be done only when the ash is extinguished and the grill and ash are COLD.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner having a metal collection canister without a bag would be best for this task. However, almost any vacuum cleaner will work safely if this procedure is properly followed.
After ensuring that the ash in the firepot is COLD, vacuum the ash from the inside of the firepot.
a. If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless model, empty any previously accumulated debris from the collection chamber. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the firepot. Once the firepot is clean, empty the collection chamber into the metal container handled in the manner described below under Disposal of Ashes without delay. Make sure that there is no remaining ash residue left in the collection chamber.
b. If your vacuum cleaner is a model that uses a disposable bag, install an unused bag in the machine. Then vacuum the ash from the inside
of the firepot. Once the firepot is clean, remove the bag from the vacuum
cleaner and place it in a metal container handled in the manner described
under Disposal of Ashes below.
5. DISPOSAL OF ASHES: w WARNING Ashes should always be completely cooled
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: w DANGER 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: w WARNING 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. CLEANING HOPPER: Regularly change out your pellets and vacuum out the
sawdust from the hopper and auger.
9. TESTING THE GRILL AFTER CLEANING: Before replacing the heat baffle, 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, pellets should fall into the firepot and the
hot rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red).
w CAUTION 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 heat baffle, grease drip tray,
grill grates, and food back onto the grill.
10. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a special
cord assembly available from Traeger.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Following are frequently asked questions along with their answers:
QUESTION
Why won’t my grill power on?
Why won’t my grill ignite?
Why are no pellets being delivered into the firepot?
Why is the temperature of my grill fluctuating?
ANSWER
Verify power at the electrical outlet. If the power cord is connected to a
GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter), check and reset if necessary. (Note
that a GFCI outlet may be located in a nearby outlet on the same electrical
branch circuit.) Initiate start-up. If no ignition, see next answer.
Check power supply cord.
Check your extension cord.
Verify that you have properly maintained your grill as described in
“Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 23-24 and there is not excessive ash in your
firepot.
Verify that there are pellets in the pellet hopper and that the auger has been
primed (see page 13). Verify that pellets are reaching the firepot. If this is
the initial firing or the grill has run out of pellets, allow enough time for
the pellets to travel from the pellet hopper to the firepot (can take up to 7
minutes).
If there are no pellets in your firepot, initiate start-up. See “Using Your
Grill” on page 15. If there are still no pellets in the firepot, proceed to
next answer.
Check the draft inducer fan and the auger drive motor for operation. If both
are operating, then the hot rod needs to be replaced. If one or both are not
operating, contact Traeger’s customer service (see page 29) for additional
troubleshooting help or to place an order.
Confirm there are pellets in the pellet hopper.
If you have pellets and they aren’t being delivered, contact customer service
(see page 29).
If the auger drive motor is operating (check the small fan blade on the back
of the motor), the problem is in the digital controller. Contact your Traeger
dealer or Traeger’s customer service (see page 29).
If the auger drive motor is not operating but the draft inducer fan is
operating, then the problem is in the auger system, which will need to be
checked. With the main power switch OFF (O), locate
the small fan blade on the back of the auger drive motor. CAUTION! While
watching the fan blade,
turn the main power switch ON (I). If the fan blade does not turn, turn the
main power switch OFF (O). This indicates a defective auger drive motor, and
it will need to be replaced. Contact your Traeger dealer or Traeger’s customer
service (see page 29) to place an order. If the fan blade turns a bit and then
stops, continue watching and turn the main power switch OFF (O). If the fan
blade unwinds slightly, this indicates a jam in the auger system, which will
need to be cleared.
DANGER! Turn the main power switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord.
Remove the pellets
from the pellet hopper. Check for foreign objects and wet or decomposed
pellets, both of which can cause a jam in the auger system. The auger will
need to be removed to clear a jam in the auger system. See “How do I remove
the auger if it jams?”
Temperature fluctuations are normal for Traeger® Grills. Any significant
fluctuation could be the result of wind, air temperature, improper start-up
procedure, improper use, or lack of grill maintenance. Traeger recommends
using a Traeger® Grill Insulation Blanket designed for your grill to operate
in below-freezing winter conditions.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED)
QUESTION
ANSWER
How do I remove the auger if it jams?
First, let the grill cool completely to prevent a fire. Remove any covers necessary to access the auger drive motor. Remove the pin connecting the auger drive motor shaft to the auger shaft and the screw retaining the auger bushing into the auger tube. With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the auger shaft, turn the auger counterclockwise. It will turn hard until it breaks free; then the auger will turn freely. Remove the auger and clean all pellets, ash, or foreign objects from the auger, auger tube, and firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash on page 24.) Sand the outside surfaces of the auger with medium grit sandpaper. Check the inside of the auger tube and sand it if needed. Vacuum the sanding grit out of the auger tube and firepot when finished. Check that the auger rotates freely. Reattach the auger shaft to the auger drive motor shaft.
Pellets are old or damp, or there may be excess ash in the firepot which needs to be cleaned.
Why does my grill fire go out on SMOKE setting?
WARNING! If the fire in the firepot goes out while smoking
and there are sufficient pellets 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 OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord.
Allow the grill to cool thoroughly. Open the door and remove all food, the
porcelain-coated grill grates, the grease drip tray, and the heat baffle.
WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the
firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash in on page
24.)
Before replacing the heat baffle, grease drip tray, and porcelain-coated grill
grates, plug the power cord into the appropriate grounded electrical outlet,
turn the main power switch ON (I), and turn the temperature dial to SMOKE.
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 main power switch OFF
(O). Let the grill cool down. Now you’re ready to place the heat baffle,
grease drip tray, and grill grates back into the grill. With the door open,
turn the main power switch ON (I) and turn the temperature dial to your
desired temperature. In about two minutes, the pellets will ignite and
whitish-gray smoke will come out of the grill. Allow the grill to preheat for
10 minutes before placing food on the grill.
If this does not fix the problem, contact Traeger’s customer service (see page
29) for assistance.

OPERATING TIPS
1. 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.
2. 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 temperature drop of your grill’s internal temperature.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Keep the grill clean. Vacuum out the sawdust from the hopper and auger. 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 23-24). 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: If changed frequently, Traeger’s drip tray liners can help keep your grill clean and thereby can help reduce the risk of a grease fire.
