OPERATING TIPS
8. GREASE MANAGEMENT:
CAUTION!
Grease fires are caused by not
properly maintaining the grill and failing to clean
the Traeger Grease Management System (TGMS)
on a consistent basis (see "Maintaining Your Grill"
on page 22). In the unlikely event of a grease
fire while cooking, turn the grill off and keep the
lid closed until the fire is completely out. Never
keep the lid open during a grease fire. If the fire
does not go out, lightly sprinkle baking soda on
the fire.

SOLUTION
This will occur if the temperature of the grill falls below 120°F (49°C) for 10
minutes, causing the grill to go into shutdown mode. To fix, remove any
pellets from the firepot. Turn the controller off and then on again and restart
your grill. If the problem persists, call customer service.
This error will occur when the temperature in the grill reaches temperatures
above 550°F (288°C) for more than 45 seconds. Let the grill cool, then turn off
the grill. Clear out any remaining pellets from the firepot and restart your grill.
If the problem persists, call customer service.
Your probe will need to be replaced.
Check the connection underneath the hopper for the thermocouple. If it is
tight, your thermocouple will need to be replaced.
Check the connection of the hot rod. If the connection is good, then the hot
rod will most likely need to be replaced
Check the connection of the fan. If the connection is good, then the fan will
most likely need to be replaced.
Check the connection of the hot rod. If the connection is good, then the hot
rod will most likely need to be replaced.
Check the connection for the auger. If the connection is good, then auger
motor will most likely need to be replaced.
With the grill in Idle mode, press and hold the DOWN and IGNITE buttons at
the same time. The display will flash "Clr" and the auger will cycle between
moving forwards and backwards for 60 seconds to clear the jam.
To stop the sequence before it is complete, press and hold the DOWN and
IGNITE buttons at the same time.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to burn yourself. If this
does not put out the fire, carefully remove the
food from the grill and keep the lid closed until
the fire is completely out. Again, be careful not to
burn yourself. When the grill is completely cool,
remove all internal components. Clean any grease
accumulation from the TGMS. Replace the grease
drip tray and grill grates, restart the grill, and
resume cooking.
