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 will bring years of enjoyment to you, your family, and those lucky friends you will be cooking for. Your new Traeger Grill is especially designed to make cooking easier, while giving you optimal performance with the most savory-flavored food.

As with all grills and cooking appliances, anytime 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, 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 coldor flulike symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. 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.

Only use your Traeger outside on a noncombustible floor and away from combustible materials.

Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or flammable liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from this appliance when in use.

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.

An electrical supply with GFCI protection is required. To protect against shock hazard, locate a grounded 3-prong receptacle in reach of the 6' (1.8-m) power cord. When installing the receptacle, follow the National Electrical Code and local code

and ordinances.

2

DANGER!

Hazardous voltage is present which can shock, burn, or cause death. Disconnect the power cord before servicing the grill unless otherwise noted in the Owner’s Manual.

Never use or store flammable liquids near the grill.

Never use gasoline or lighter fluid to manually light your grill. Use ONLY alcohol gel for this procedure AND according to the instructions in the Owner’s Manual.

WARNING!

Many parts of the grill will become very hot during operation. Care must be taken to avoid burns, both during operation and afterwards, while the grill is still hot.

Never leave the grill unattended when young children are present.

Never move the grill when it is operating.

Let the grill cool thoroughly before moving or attempting to transport.

WARNING!

When operating this grill, maintain a MINIMUM distance of 12 inches from the grill to combustibles.

When operating this grill under overhead combustibles, a MINIMUM of 40 inches is required.

WARNING!

Assemble and operate this grill ONLY per the instructions in the Assembly Guide and the Owner’s Manual.

This grill is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.

Never use heating fuel pellets in the grill, due to potential hazardous contaminants and additives that may be present.

For best results and flavor, use genuine Traeger wood pellets.

CAUTION!

Always store wood pellets in a dry location, away from heat-producing appliances and other

fuel containers.

Keep the grill clean – See the cleaning instructions in this Owner’s Manual.

Do not use accessories not specified for use with this grill.

PELLETS

Traeger makes eight different pellet types so you can serve up a feast of different flavors. Clean-burning and environmentally safe, our natural wood pellets are made from U.S. grown timber, ignite fast with low ash residue, and are crafted in one of our three Traeger-owned mills. By making our own pellets, we can guarantee that from mill to grill, there’s nothing but 100% pure virgin hardwood flavoring your food.

PELLET HOPPER

BARREL SHAPE

An 18-pound-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.

Traeger’s signature barrel shape creates a vortex of convection. It circulates hot, smoky air around the cooking chamber, surrounding your food with heat and cooking it evenly on all sides.

GRILLING SPACE

NO FIREFIGHTING

With either 884 sq. in. (Pro Series 34) or 572 sq. in. (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.

You don’t ever have to worry about drippings flaring up* and causing those nasty fireballs that destroy your meal, because Traeger grills are designed to cook by using indirect heat. All drippings are safely channeled outside

of the cooking chamber into a bucket for easy disposal.

*with proper, recommended maintenance
