2.2 Initial Seasoning (Burn-In)
Before cooking any food, the grill must be seasoned to remove manufacturing oils and prepare the cooking surfaces. This process involves running the grill at a high temperature for a specified period. Refer to your quick start guide for precise seasoning instructions.
2.3 WiFIRE Connectivity
The Traeger Pro Series 575 features WiFIRE technology, allowing you to control your grill remotely via the Traeger App. Download the Traeger App from your device's app store.

3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Loading Wood Pellets
Only use food-grade hardwood pellets specifically designed for pellet grills. Open the hopper lid and pour pellets into the hopper, ensuring they are free of debris. Do not overfill. The auger system will feed pellets into the fire pot as needed.
3.2 Temperature Control
The Pro Series 575 allows precise temperature control. Use the control panel or the Traeger App to set your desired cooking temperature. The grill will automatically maintain this temperature by adjusting pellet feed and fan speed. Allow 10-15 minutes for the grill to reach the set temperature.
3.3 Cooking Modes
Your Traeger grill can be used for various cooking methods, including smoking, grilling, baking, roasting, braising, and BBQ. For smoking, set the temperature to a lower range (e.g., 165°F - 225°F). For grilling, set to higher temperatures (e.g., 350°F - 450°F). Always preheat the grill to the desired temperature before placing food inside.

4. Maintenance and Care
4.1 Cleaning the Grill
Regular cleaning is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. After each use, scrape the cooking grates with a grill brush. Periodically, remove the grates, drip tray, and heat baffle to vacuum out ash from the fire pot and grill interior. Clean the grease management system regularly to prevent flare-ups.
4.2 Pellet Storage
Store wood pellets in a dry, airtight container to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect performance and flavor. Do not leave pellets in the hopper for extended periods, especially in humid conditions.
4.3 Using the Grill Cover
The included BAC503 full-length grill cover is designed to protect your Traeger grill from the elements. Ensure the grill is cool before covering it. Regular use of the cover will help preserve the grill's finish and components.

5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Traeger Pro Series 575.
- Temperature Fluctuations: Minor fluctuations are normal. Significant deviations may indicate low pellets, a dirty fire pot, or a faulty temperature probe. Ensure the hopper has sufficient pellets and the fire pot is clean. Check the probe for debris.
- WiFIRE Connectivity Issues: Ensure your grill is within Wi-Fi range. Restart your home router and the grill. Verify that the Traeger App is updated to the latest version.
- Grill Not Igniting: Check if the hot rod is heating. Ensure there are pellets in the fire pot and the fan is operating. A dirty fire pot can prevent ignition.
- Excessive Smoke: While wood-fired grills produce smoke, excessive, thick smoke may indicate a problem with pellet quality (e.g., moisture) or a dirty grill.
For more detailed troubleshooting, refer to the comprehensive guide on the Traeger website or contact customer support.
