Outside storage:
CAUTION! If the grill is stored outside during
the rainy season, 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. A Traeger Grill Cover is highly
recommended to protect the grill! Covers are
available from your Traeger dealer, or log onto our
website, traegergrills.com.
Cleaning the porcelain-coated grill grates:
CAUTION! Cleaning the porcelain-coated grill
grates works best while they are still warm. Be
careful not to burn yourself. We recommend
keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the
grill. After removing your food, give the porcelain-
coated grill grates a quick brushing. It takes only a
minute and it will be ready the next time you want
to use the grill.
2. ASH CLEANING AND REMOVAL
Cleaning the ash from inside and around
the repot:
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect
the power cord.
WARNING! Make sure that the grill is cold before
cleaning the ash.
WARNING! Disposal of ashes should be done
only according to the following instructions.
Excess ash in the repot may cause your re to go
out, especially in the SMOKE setting. The repot
should be inspected occasionally and cleaned to
remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash
from in and around the repot should be done
only when the grill is cold.
Remove the porcelain-coated grill grates, grease
drain pan, and heat bafe to provide access to the
repot and the interior of the grill. Much of the
ash outside of the repot can be removed from the
grill with a small metal replace shovel or other
similar tool.
Dispose of the ashes according to the following
instructions.
WARNING! A shop vac is the best way to remove
ashes from the repot, but this must be done
with extreme care to avoid the risk of re. Again,
cleaning the ash from the repot should be done
only when the grill is 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 repot is cold,
vacuum the ash from the inside of the repot.
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 repot. Once the repot is clean,
empty the collection chamber into the metal
container described below 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 repot. Once the repot is clean, remove the
bag from the vacuum cleaner and place it in the
metal container described below without delay.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
WARNING! Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-tting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending nal
disposal. Ashes are disposed of by burial in soil
or otherwise locally dispersed.
