lighting procedure.
NOTE:
Multiple cycles may be required to purge air
from gas supply system
BURNER FLAME CHECK
Prior to lighting the burner, remove the griddle plate in
order to visually inspect the flame. Light burner and
rotate knob from high to low
– you should see a
smaller flame in the low position than you see in the
high position.
See Figure 12.
Always check the flame
prior to each use. If only low flame is seen, refer to
Burner has low flame regardless of knob position
in the Troubleshooting section.
TURNING OFF THE GRIDDLE
Turn the CONTROL KNOB to the OFF position.
IGNITION ELECTRODE POSITION
The ignitio
n electrode should be .175” from the top of
the burner to create the proper spark, as shown in the
illustration below. The ignition electrode should not
touch the burner tube.
See Figure 13.

Suburban Griddles comes with a thin layer of soy oil on
them to protect against rust during shipping. You can
wash this off with warm soapy water prior to your initial
seasoning.
WHAT OIL SHOULD I USE?
Some oils are better than others for seasoning. We
recommend Flax seed oil for your initial seasoning
since it creates a very durable bond, however, any of
the following oils can be used:
• Flax Seed Oil
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Vegetable Oil
• Soy Oil
The basic idea behind your initial seasoning is to coat your
griddle with oil and heat the oil above its smoke point to
polymerize the oil and create a bond with the griddle top.
You will end up with a black, stick resistant surface that is
easy to clean.
HOW TO SEASON YOUR GRIDDLE
1. Apply small amount of chosen oil to the surface of
the griddle top and spread it around with a cloth or
paper towel (use tongs or metal spatula to hold the
cloth or paper towel).
2. Turn your griddle on medium-high heat
3.
Heat the oil until it reaches its “smoke-point” and let
it continue to discolor. This is good.
4. Let your griddle cool a little. Repeat steps 1 through
3 a few times until you have a black surface on your
griddle.
