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 re ofcials
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
Cooking with a hardwood re will bring years of enjoyment to you, your family, and those lucky friends you will be
cooking for. Your new Traeger Ranger Grill is specially designed to make cooking easier while giving you optimal
performance with the most savory-avored food.
As with all grills and cooking appliances, any time 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 cold- or
u-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity
of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning,
which can easily be mistaken for a cold or u, is
often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the
effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
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.

For Consumers in the European Union:

• Do not remove earth prong or modify plug in any

ADDING FLAVOR TO YOUR FIRE
PELLETS
Creating 100% food-grade hardwood pellets comes naturally to Traeger. Our four U.S. mills process pure
hardwood, blended for the perfect balance of smoke to heat and superior quality you can taste every time.
Crafting the highest-quality hardwood pellets on the market starts from the ground up. We built our plants
in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia near the hardwood source, and we dedicate our manufacturing to food-grade
pellets only, maintaining the purity of our machinery.
Traeger pellets contain two natural ingredients: our signature blend of hardwoods and a simple soybean oil.
When manufacturing the premium hardwood pellets that elevate your meal to the next level, less is always
more. No additives, no llers, no binding agents — just simple, natural avor.
