MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL
Remove the grill grate, grease drip tray, and heat baffle
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.
A dedicated vacuum cleaner is the best
WARNING
w
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, ashes, and pellets are 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.
After 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 under Disposal of Ashes
without delay. Make sure that there is no remaining
ash residue left 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 a metal
container handled in the manner described under
Disposal of Ashes below.
5. DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
Ashes should always be completely

cool before handling. 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. Ashes should be
retained in the closed container until they are disposed.

6. CLEANING THE GRILL GRATE:
Cleaning the grill grate works best
DANGER
w
while it is still warm. Be careful not to burn yourself.
Heat-protective gloves are recommended. We
recommend keeping a long-handled cleaning brush
near the grill. After 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.
7. CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES:
Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O)
WARNING
w
and disconnect the power cord before initiating
cleaning.
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.
Do not use abrasive materials, scratching cleansers,
or scouring pads to clean the grill. These can damage
the finish.
8. TESTING THE GRILL AFTER CLEANING:
Before replacing the heat baffle, grease drip tray, and
the grill grate, plug the power cord into an appropriate
grounded/earthed electrical outlet and turn the switch
ON (I). After you set the temperature and press
IGNITE, pellets should fall into the firepot and the hot
rod should begin to heat (it will start to turn red).
Do not touch the hot rod.
CAUTION
w
When flames start to come out of the firepot, run the
shut-down cycle. Let the grill cool down. Now you're
ready to place the heat baffle, grease drip tray, grill
grate, and food back onto the grill.
9. If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by a special cord assembly available from
Traeger®.
