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 re ofcials 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.
DANGER! For North American Consumers:
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 codes and ordinances.
For Consumers in the European Union:
Plug into an appropriate earthed outlet.
Do not remove earth prong or modify plug in any
way. Do not use an adapter or extension cord.
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 grill outdoors on a
noncombustible oor and away from combustible materials.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or ammable liquids to start or “freshen up” a re in this appliance. Keep all such liquids well away from this appliance when in use.
DANGER!
Hazardous voltage is present, which can shock,
burn, or cause death. Disconnect the power cord before servicing the grill unless otherwise noted in this Owner’s Manual.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, service agent, or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Never use or store ammable liquids near
the grill.
Never use gasoline or lighter uid to manually
light your grill. Use ONLY alcohol gel for this procedure AND according to the instructions in the Owner’s Manual.

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.
