3.  Securely connect the regulator to the propane cylinder and test for leaks according to the              

instructions found on PAGE 5 & 6 of this manual. 

4.  Generously coat griddle plate vegetable oil or oil-based cooking spray.

 Hold a lit long handled butane lighter gun or fireplace match next 

to the front burner and open the control valve (push in turn the knob to OPEN - so it is straight up 
and down - perpendicular to the manifold). The front burner will ignite instantly with a *POOF* sound. 

7.  Remove lighter or match and push to turn 2nd control valve to the open position- it will light instantly

dissipate, and restart lighting instructions. 

9.  Once burners are lit, adjust the control knobs to set desired temperature.  

10.  Your griddle is designed to provide a large warming area under the burners.  Standard food pans 

(not included) can be placed in this warming area.  Cover the food pans with aluminum foil to prevent 
drying out/changing texture or presentation.
