READ THE MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING SECTION ONE: ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS INTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of this Traeger Wood Pellet Grill, Model TFS60LZAC. With proper set-up, operation and maintenance, the Grill will provide you with delicious food and with years of cooking enjoyment. Assembly of the grill is required. Follow the assembly instruction provided in the TFS60LZAC packaging.
Insert drip pan into the firebox with the small flange of the Drip Pan to the left side onto the holder. Insert the large flange into the V in the Grease Drain. Center the Drip pan from front to back of the Firebox. (See FIGURE B) FIGURE B Insert Grease Bucket onto the tab located on the inside of the lower cabinet from the grease Drain. Ensure that the bucket is straight over the drain.
SECTION TWO: INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS (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 Grills, 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.
SECTION THREE: SUBSEQUENT START-UP With the Door open, turn the Switch ON (--) and the Temperature/Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Door and set the Temperature/Dial to any cooking setting desired. The Grill should be allowed to pre-heat for approximately 10 minutes with the Door closed before placing food in the Grill.
3) Remove the Porcelain Grills, Grease Drain Pan and Heat Baffle to expose the Firepot In the bottom of the Grill. 4) Pour 1/2 cup of TRAEGER BBQ PELLETS into the Firepot. 5) Squirt 2 tablespoons of Alcohol Gel fire lighter into the Firepot on top of the Pellets. DANGER! Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or “freshen up” a fire in this Grill. Keep all such liquids well away from the Grill when in use.
SECTION FOUR: OPERATING TIPS 1) The Temperature Dial can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the cooking temperature of the Grill. The HIGH/HIGHER Temperature settings are for Grilling. The MED/MID RANGE Temperature settings are for Slow Cooking. The SMOKE setting is for Smoking and adding Smoke Flavor to foods being cooked. The SMOKE setting can also be used to “hold” foods at approximately 180 to 200 degrees F. 2) Your TRAEGER PELLET GRILL should never be moved while it is hot.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers and people with blood or circulatory problems, such as anemia or heart disease. 9) CAUTION! Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining the Grill by failing to clean your Grease Drain Pan, V-shaped Grease Drain and Grease Drain Tube on a consistent basis.
SECTION FIVE: MAINTAINING YOUR NEW GRILL 1) CREOSOTE AND GREASE: Formation and need for removal. When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce tar and other organic vapors that combine with expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool flue exhaust of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
5) We recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the Grill. After removing your food, give the Porcelain Grill a quick brushing. It takes only a minute and it will be ready the next time you want to use the Grill. Be careful not to burn yourself. DISPOSAL OF ASHES: WARNING! Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
SECTION SIX: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS WHY WON’T MY GRILL IGNITE? 1) Verify power at the electrical outlet. a) If Power Cord is connected to a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter), check and reset if necessary. b) Initiate startup. Still no ignition – Proceed to step 2. 2) Disconnect Power Cord from electrical outlet. a) Remove the Control and check the fuse on back. Replace the fuse if blown.
4) If the Auger Drive Motor is not operating but the Draft Inducer Fan is operating, the problem is in the Auger system, which will need to be checked. a) With the Power Switch and the Switch/Dial OFF, locate the small fan blade on the back of the Auger Drive Motor. b) While watching the fan blade, turn the Power Switch and then the Switch/Dial to ON. If the fan blade does not turn, turn the Switch/Dial to OFF. This indicates a defective Auger Drive Motor and it will need to be replaced.
The auto-start procedure is the same for all Grill Controls. With the Door/Lid open, turn the Switch/Dial ON and Temperature Dial to SMOKE. In approximately 2 minutes you will notice whitish-gray smoke coming out of the Grill as the Pellets ignite. After assuring the Pellets have ignited, close the Door/Lid and set the Temperature Dial to any cooking setting desired.
