USER MANUAL Timberline 1300 TRAEGER

• 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. 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.

• 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 outside 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. 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 brings years of enjoyment – to you and your lucky friends and family. Your new Traeger 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, your pets, or others: 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. IMPORTANT SAFETY 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. 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.

40.00" 18" (45.7 cm) 18" (45.7 cm) 40" (102 cm) WARNING! Smoke Hazard A pellet overow condition can occur during start-up, resulting in unusually thick, white smoke that lasts a long time. If this occurs, power down your grill with the Main Power switch and unplug. If this condition continues long enough, gases can build up from partial ignition and fully ignite, causing the lid to “burp.” If this burp occurs and your grill has not been properly maintained as described in “Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 26-27, a grease re could result. To remedy this condition, let the grill cool down completely, remove all internal components, and thoroughly clean all ash and pellets from the grill and repot (see page 27, “Cleaning the Ash from Inside and Around the Firepot”). WARNING! Burn Hazard 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! Fire Hazard

1. CREOSOTE AND GREASE FORMATION AND 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 exhaust vent of a slow- burning fire. As a result, creosote accumulates on the exhaust vent lining. When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot fire. Airborne grease particles will travel through the cooking chamber, and some of this airborne grease will accumulate on the exhaust vent lining, similar to creosote, which could contribute to a fire. Traeger’s drip tray liners can help keep your grill clean and can help reduce the risk of flare-ups. The Traeger Downdraf Exhaust should be inspected at least twice a year to determine when a creosote and/or grease buildup has occurred. Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto the grease drip tray, and then into the Traeger Grease Management System (TGMS). The TGMS is composed of a (A) grease trough, (B) grease chute, and (C) grease pan with pan liner (see below). Grease will accumulate in all of these locations. All components of the TGMS should be inspected before each use for signs of grease buildup. When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of fire. Even if there is ample room in the grill, be cautious of loading excessive amounts of food that can release large quantities of flammable grease—for example, more than a pound of bacon—especially if the grill has not been well-maintained. If your previous cooks have produced large quantities of flammable grease, it is highly recommended that the grease be cleaned from the grill before using it again.

2. CLEANING GREASE FROM YOUR GRILL:

DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to clean o when the grill is still warm—not hot. Be careful not to burn yourself. Gloves are recommended. Periodically clean the grease from the TGMS. If too much grease is allowed to build up in the grease channel or is allowed to plug the grease chute, a grease fire could result. We recommend cleaning these locations regularly. To check the grease level: Dispose of and replace the pan liner: (1) Slide out the grease pan until it hits its stops. (2) Lif up to remove grease pan lid. (3) Lif up grease pan liner. To clean the grease management system: (1) Remove grill grates and drip tray from grill. (2) Remove grease chute shield. (3) Wipe down trough and chute with a paper towel. If grease is caked on, use a spoon or a similar utensil to scoop from trough and chute.

TRAEGERGRILLS.COM The grease pan comes with a preinstalled 5-pack of disposable aluminum liners. Replacement liner packs are available for purchase at traegergrills.com. Empty the grease pan as needed; frequency depends on the amount of use.

3. CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES:

DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. Use a disposable rag or cloth dampened with warm, soapy water to wipe the grease from the outside of the grill. DO NOT use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers, or abrasive cleaning pads on the outside grill surfaces.

CAUTION! If the grill is stored outside during the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure that water does not get into the pellet hopper. Wood pellets expand greatly when wet and will jam your auger. Always cover your grill when not in use with the Traeger grill cover. This custom-fit cover can be purchased at traegergrills.com.

5. CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL GRILL GRATES:

CAUTION! Cleaning the grill grates works best while they are still warm. Be careful not to burn yourself. We recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush near the grill. Afer removing your food, give the grill grate a quick brushing. It takes only a minute and it will be ready the next time you want to use the grill.

6. CLEANING THE ASH FROM INSIDE AND AROUND

THE FIREPOT (EVERY 20 HOURS OF USE): DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. WARNING! Make sure that the grill is COLD before cleaning the ash. WARNING! Disposal of ashes should be done only according to the following instructions. Excess ash in the firepot may cause your fire to go out. The firepot should be inspected occasionally and cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from in and around the firepot should be done only when the grill is COLD. Remove the grill grates, grease drip tray, and heat bae to provide access to the firepot and the interior of the grill. Much of the ash outside of the firepot can be removed from the grill with a small metal fireplace shovel or other similar tool. WARNING! A dedicated vacuum cleaner is the best way to remove ashes from the firepot, but this must be done with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again, cleaning the ash from the firepot should be done only when the grill is COLD. A utility-type vacuum cleaner having a metal collection canister without a bag would be best for this task. However, almost any vacuum cleaner will work safely if this procedure is properly followed. Afer ensuring that the ash in the firepot is COLD, vacuum the ash from the inside of the firepot. a. If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless model, empty any previously accumulated debris from the collection chamber. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the firepot. Once the firepot is clean, empty the collection chamber into the metal container described below without delay. Make sure that there is no remaining ash residue lef in the collection chamber. b. If your vacuum cleaner is a model that uses a disposable bag, install an unused bag in the machine. Then vacuum the ash from the inside of the firepot. Once the firepot is clean, remove the bag from the vacuum cleaner and place it in the metal container described below without delay.

7. 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 noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. When the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have cooled thoroughly.

8. CLEANING THE CUTTING BOARD:

Always thoroughly wash the cutting board afer use. To wash: (1) Hand-wash only in warm, soapy water. DO NOT SOAK. (2) Rinse with clean water. (3) Air-dry. IMPORTANT: Soaking the wooden cutting board in water or washing it in the dishwasher can damage the board. NOTE: Avoid overexposure to sunlight to prevent warping.

9. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a

special cord assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.28 Following are frequently asked questions along with their answers: QUESTION ANSWER Why won’t my grill ignite? Verify power at the electrical outlet. If the power cord is connected to a GFCI (ground fault circuit interrupter), check and reset if necessary. Initiate start-up. If no ignition, see next answer. DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. Remove the control and check the fuse on back. Replace the fuse if blown. Reinstall the control. Check the draf inducer fan and the auger drive motor for operation. If both are operating, the hot rod needs to be replaced. If one or both are not operating, contact Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35) for additional troubleshooting help or to place an order. Verify that there are pellets in the pellet hopper. If this is the initial firing or the grill has run out of pellets, allow sucient time for the pellets to travel from the pellet hopper to the firepot (can take up to 7 minutes). Initiate start-up. See “Using Your Grill” on page 13. If there are still no pellets in the firepot, proceed to next answer. If the auger drive motor is operating (check the small fan blade on the back of the motor), the problem is in the digital control, which will need to be replaced. Contact your Traeger dealer or Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35) to place an order. Why are no pellets being delivered into the firepot? If the auger drive motor is not operating but the draf inducer fan is operating, the problem is in the auger system, which will need to be checked: With the switch OFF (O), locate the small fan blade on the back of the auger drive motor. CAUTION! While watching the fan blade, turn the switch ON (I). If the fan blade does not turn, turn the switch OFF (O). This indicates a defective auger drive motor, and it will need to be replaced. Contact your Traeger dealer or Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35) to place an order. If the fan blade turns a bit and then stops, continue watching and turn the switch OFF (O). If the fan blade unwinds slightly, this indicates a jam in the auger system, which will need to be cleared. DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. Remove the pellets from the pellet hopper. Check for foreign objects and wet or decomposed pellets, both of which can cause a jam in the auger system. The auger will need to be removed to clear a jam in the auger system. See “How do I remove the auger if it jams?” section on the following page. Why is the temperature of my grill fluctuating? Temperature fluctuations are normal for Traeger grills. Any significant fluctuation could be the result of wind, air temperature, improper use, or lack of grill maintenance

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS29

TRAEGERGRILLS.COM QUESTION ANSWER How do I remove the auger if it jams? DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. CAUTION! If the grill is still hot, allow it to cool thoroughly. Remove any covers necessary to access the auger drive motor. Remove the screw connecting the auger drive motor shaf to the auger shaf and the screw retaining the auger bushing into the auger tube. With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the auger shaf, turn the auger counterclockwise. It will turn hard until it breaks free; then the auger will turn freely. Remove the auger and clean all pellets, ash, or foreign objects from the auger, auger tube, and firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash on page 27.) Sand the outside surfaces of the auger with medium grit sandpaper. Check the inside of the auger tube and sand it if needed. Vacuum the sanding grit out of the auger tube and firepot when finished. Check that the auger rotates freely. Reattach the auger shaf to the auger drive motor shaf. How do I protect my paint finish? Use a protective cover on the grill to protect your paint finish. A Traeger grill cover is highly recommended. Covers are available from your Traeger dealer, or log onto our website, traegergrills.com. Every 90 days, use a high-quality car wax on the outside surfaces of the grill. ONLY APPLY WAX TO A COLD GRILL. Where can I get a new part for my grill? Check with your Traeger dealer. They may have the part in stock or can order the part for you. Contact Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35) to place an order. In either case, please provide your name, phone number, address, model, and serial number of the grill (located on the label inside the hopper lid), along with the part identification number from the component diagram or parts list.30 ERROR MESSAGES TROUBLESHOOTING Although rare, you may see an error or warning message display on your control panel.

WiFIRE® PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS32 OPERATING TIPS

1. You can change the temperature at any time during

grilling to increase or decrease cooking temperature. To change between Fahrenheit and Celsius: Select Temperature Units from the Settings menu. Turn the dial to choose between degrees FAHRENHEIT (°F) and CELSIUS (°C). Press the center of the dial to confirm. The selected setting will be indicated with a *. You will now see temperatures displayed in the format you’ve chosen.

2. WARNING! Your Traeger® Timberline Grill should never

be moved while it is hot. If you are transporting your grill in a vehicle afer cooking on it, make sure the fire is completely out and the grill is cold before placing it in any vehicle. Never put water into the firepot; it will jam the auger.

3. Your Traeger® Timberline Grill is designed to operate

with the door closed. Cooking with the door open greatly lengthens your cooking time.

4. CAUTION! Never add pellets by hand to a hot firepot.

This is dangerous and you may be seriously burned. If you run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking, let the grill cool completely and start again with the “Hopper Clean-out” instructions on page 22.

5. CAUTION! Make sure the heat bae is properly seated

on its locating brackets. If not seated properly, direct heat and flame could come up out of the firepot and cause a grease fire in the grill.

6. Always take into account the type of food you are

• Thin foods need high heat and shorter cook times, while thicker foods need low heat and longer cook times.

• Vegetables take longer to cook than meats at the same cooking temperatures.

• Always check that the internal temperature of the meat that you are cooking reaches safe temperatures to eat.

• The Keep Warm function is not designed to properly cook your food.

7. WARNING! If the fire in the firepot goes out while

smoking and there are sucient pellets still in the pellet hopper, it is important to follow these steps. Failure to do so may cause a hazardous “overfiring” of your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets in the firepot.

• DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch at the back of the grill to OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. Allow the grill to cool thoroughly. Open the door and remove all food, grill grates, grease drip tray, and heat bae.

• WARNING! Smoke Hazard A pellet overflow condition can occur during start-up, resulting in unusually thick, white smoke that lasts a long time. If this occurs, power down your grill with the Main Power switch and unplug. If this condition continues long enough, gases can build up from partial ignition and fully ignite, causing the lid to “burp.” If this burp occurs and your grill has not been properly maintained as described in “Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 26-27, a grease fire could result. To remedy this condition, let the grill cool down completely, remove all internal components, and thoroughly clean all ash and pellets from the grill and firepot (see page 27, “Cleaning the Ash from Inside and Around the Firepot”).

• WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from inside and around the firepot. (See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash on page 27.)

• Before replacing the heat bae, grease drip tray, and the grill grates, plug the power cord into an appropriate grounded/earthed electrical outlet and turn the switch ON (I). Pellets should fall into the firepot and the hot rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch the hot rod.

• When flames start to come out of the firepot, turn the switch OFF (O). Let the grill cool down. Now you’re ready to place the heat bae, grease drip tray, grill grates, and food back into the grill.33 TRAEGERGRILLS.COM

WARNING! Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, your pets, or others. Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headaches, 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 flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is ofen detected too late. Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the eects 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.

9. GREASE MANAGEMENT:

CAUTION! Grease fires are caused by improper maintenance of the grill and failing to clean the Traeger Grease Management System (TGMS) on a consistent basis (see “Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 26-27). In the unlikely event of a grease fire while cooking, turn the grill o and keep the door closed until the fire is completely out. Never keep the door open during a grease fire. If the fire does not go out, lightly sprinkle baking soda on the fire. CAUTION! Be careful not to burn yourself. If this does not work, carefully remove the food from the grill and keep the door 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. Traeger’s drip tray liners can help keep your grill clean and can help reduce the risk of flare-ups.34 NOTES35 TRAEGERGRILLS.COM TRAEGER’S LEGENDARY CUSTOMER SERVICE is the best out there.
