ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new grill model BBQ-060 comes almost completely assembled. You will need to
complete the assembly which includes:
1. Mounting the Burner on the back of the BBQ
2. Positioning the U-Shaped Firepot Cover (5) over the Firepot (23) and setting the Angle
Drip Pan (25) in place on the Drip Pan Support bar (4) and in the V Channel grease
catch (24).
3. Hanging the Grease Bucket (7) on the Grease Drain Tube (6) which is located inside
the cabinet.
4. Install the four Casters on the bottom of the Grille.
NOTE: NUMERALS FOLLOWING PART NAMES THROUGHOUT THIS MANUAL REFER TO
THE COMPONENT DIAGRAM ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE.
When you un-box your new grill, make sure you have, and can identify all of the following
parts and pieces:
(4) Casters with mounting screws (9)
(1) Burner unit
(1) Burner Gasket(1 0)
(2) One porcelain cooking grills(3).
(1) U shaped fire pot cover (5)
(1) Angle drip pan (25)
(1) Grease Bucket (7)
Follow these easy step by step instructions and you will be cookin in no time at all.
TOOLS REQUIRED FOR ASSEMBLY:
One 7/16 "open end wrench or an adjustable crescent wrench.
One Phillips Screw driver

3. Remove the porcelain cooking grill (3) from the unit. Remove the Angle Drip pan (25)
from the unit. Note: the Angle Drip pan is designed to be lined with tin foil for easy clean up.
( If you have not lined the Angle Drip pan with aluminum foil, do so now). Reach down and
remove the u shaped fire pot cover (5). You should now be able to peer down and see the
firepot below.( At the bottom of the fire pot you will see the hot rod (22) protruding out below
the auger. When you turn the unit on, the hot rod will turn cherry red "hot" for four minutes.
This will ignite the pellets flowing into the fire pot. Turn the power switch "ON" and run the
auger until you can see pellets come out into the firepot. It normally takes about 5 minutes
before the auger is fully charged with pellets. Once pellets start to enter the firepot, turn the
power switch back to the "OFF" position.
OPERATING TIPS:
4. Replace the U shaped fire pot cover(5) , Angle drip pan (25) and the porcelain grille (3).
On the Control Board (14), turn the power switch to "ON" , and set the temperature dial to
high. The unit will start. In less than three minutes, you will see a large amount of smoke
come out of the grille and the burner will then automatically start.
9. FOR YOUR FIRST FIRING: With the(2) door closed and let the grill burn on High for 30-
45 minutes to cure the paint and season the grill prior to your first cooking of food. We
recommend spraying the porcelain grill (3) with "PAM" before the very first use to prevent food
from sticking. After the first use, the natural oils from the meat and the porcelain coating
should prevent sticking.
10. After your first firing on the grill, it should only take 10 to 20 minutes of warm up time
before you can cook.
1. Your TRAEGER GRILL should not be moved when it is hot. If you are considering
hauling your grill in a vehicle right after cooking on it, make sure the fire is completely out. No
fire or heat in the firepot what so ever. Don't ever put water in the firepot, it will jam the unit.
2. The TRAEGER GRILL is designed to operate with the "DOOR CLOSED". Cooking with
the door open will dramatically lengthen your cooking times. Remember ... a watched pot
never boils.
3. Don't put pellets directly in the firepot by hand on start-up. More is not better. Putting
too many pellets in the firepot on start-up may cause incomplete combustion and a blackening
on the food.
4. NEVER add pellets by hand to a hot firepot. This is dangerous and you may get
burned. If you run out of fuel and lose your fire during a cook, let the unit cool completely,
and start all over again with relighting procedures.
5. When estimating cooking times please remember that the outside temperature will
dramatically alter your cooking times. If it is hot it will take less time and if it is cold it will take
longer. Wind will also lengthen your cooking time as it wipes the heat off the surface of the
grille

Set the BBa up on the Casters.
STEP 2 -INSTALLING THE BURNER
Remove the four Screws (26) from the sides,of the burner cover and slide the cover off ,
takeing care not to damage the wireing.
Slide the Burner Gasket over the end of the burner tube and down to the mounting plate.
Slide the burner through the opening in the back of the BBa and secure in place using the
four Burner mounting Bolts provided (11) Replace the cover and screws.
STEP 3 - INSTALL FIRE POT COVER AND DRIP PAN

Pick up the U shaped fire pot cover(5) and position it directly over the firepot , with the slotted
end going down over the burner. Take the Angle Drip Pan(25) and line it with a piece of
aluminum foil. Wrap the aluminum foil around the pan so that it adheres tightly to the pan. Set
the Angle drip pan (25) over the U shaped fire pot cover, with the short lip going over the Drip
pan support bar (4) and the long lip going into the v channel grease catch (24). Place the
Porcelain coated cooking grills(3)back in the place.
STEP 3 - HANGING THE GREASE BUCKET
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Locate the Grease Drain tube(6) coming down out of the bottom of the right end of the
main firebox. Hang the Grease bucket(7) on the Drain tube(6).
Note: Before cooking your first meal on your new TRAEGER GRILL, you will need to fire
the unit to cure the paint and season the grill.
1. Plug the electric cord into a 110 volt GROUNDED outlet and turn the Control Board (14)
power switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Lift open the hopper lid (12). Look down in the hopper and see the auger. Make sure
there are no foreign bodies such as cardboard or paper in the auger. Turn the power switch
on the Control Board (14) to the "ON" position. Look down in the hopper and see the auger
turning and listen for the draft inducers high pitched "whir" from under the unit. Now turn the
power switch on the Control Board (14) back to the" OFF" position. Fill the hopper with 1/4"
diameter all natural TRAEGER BRAND HARDWOOD BBQ PELLETS. WARNING: USE
ONLY TRAEGER BRAND HARDWOOD BBQ PELLETS which contain no additives.

MAINTAINING YOUR NEW TRAEGER GRILL:
1. Change the aluminum foil on the Angle drip pan after 3-4 cookings. Sooner if you were
cooking something really messy. Periodically clean grease off the interior surfaces of the heat
dome. If grease is allowed to build up too much on the Angle drip pan or in the v channel
grease catcher, you could eventually get a grease fire. We recommend cleaning your Angle
drip pan (2S) after 3-4 cookings ( replace the aluminum foil ), and cleaning your v channel
grease catch at least once for every 10 cookings.
2. CLEANING TIPS Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers, or abrasive cleaning
pads on the grill surfaces. Use TRAEGER DEGREASER on the inside and outside of the
Grille.
3. If the grill is stored outdoors during the rainy season, care should be taken to insure that
water does not get into the hopper. WOOD PELLETS WHEN WET, EXPAND GREATLY AND
WILL JAM YOUR AUGER. Even though the pellet hopper has a water tite Cover, to lesson
the possibility of water getting to the pellets, a vinyl cover is highly recommended.
4. Two or thrss times a Y@ilrremove the AnOIp.drlp pan (6) and the U shaped fire pot cover
completely from the unit and clean underneath the baffle pan. You should find some fly ash
(vacuum up) and possibly a lost chicken leg or two.
5. We recommend keeping a long handled grill cleaning brush near the grill so that
immediately after removing the food from the grill and while it is still warm give it a quick
brushing. It only takes a minute and it will then be ready for the next cook. Be careful not to
burn yourself!
