SECTION TWO: INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! START THE GRILL ON SMOKE SETTING
WARNING! When operating this Grill, maintain a minimum
(To be used on initial firing or anytime the Grill runs out of Pellets)
In order to ensure proper operation of the Grill, you must first
allow the Auger Tube to be “charged” with Pellets.
1) Open the Door and remove the Porcelain Grill, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle from inside the Grill.
2) Make sure the Switch is in the OFF (o) position. Plug the Power Cord into an appropriate, grounded electrical outlet.
3) Open the Pellet Hopper Lid and locate the Auger. Make sure there are no foreign objects in the Auger. Turn the Switch ON (--) and the Temperature/dial to smoke look into the Pellet Hopper to confirm the Auger is turning. At the same time, place your fingers over the Firepot and feel the air movement from the Draft Inducer Fan. Look to see if the Hot Rod is getting hot (it will start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch it. Turn the Temperature/dial to SHUT DOWN CYCLE.
4) Fill the Pellet Hopper with TRAEGER BBQ PELLETS. WARNING! Use only
TRAEGER BRAND BBQ PELLETS, which are specifically made to work in our Grills. Never use heating fuel pellets in the Grill. Turn the Temperature/Dial to
HIGH. Note: During the initial charging of the Auger, it will take time for the Pellets to travel from the Pellet Hopper to the Firepot. When the Pellets begin to fall into the Firepot, turn the Temperature/Dial to Shut Down Cycle.
5) Set the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. Let the Pellets come to full flame. Once you see flames come out of the Firepot , turn the Temperature/Dial to SHUT DOWN CYCLE, and let the Grill cool down.

Drain Pan and Porcelain Grill in their proper locations.

season the Grill. Turn the Temperature/Dial to HIGH and run for 45 minutes at this setting with the Door closed. This must be done before cooking any food on the Grill.
