Section 04
CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE
STORING YOUR
GRIDDLE
Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-
tion. Always cover griddle if stored
outdoors. Choose from a variety of
griddle covers offered by Blackstone.
When protecting griddle with soft
cover, use the “tenting” method to
prevent water from accumulating
on griddle top. “Tenting” involves
placing an object (a bowl, tennis
ball or PVC pipe) beneath soft cover
in the center of griddle in order to
allow water to slide off. “Tenting”
helps prevent rust.
FIRST TIME CLEANING
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated
with cooking oil to prevent rust and
damage during shipping. For first
time use, wash griddle with hot,
soapy water.
THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU
SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE
GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.
Rinse and dry completely. Proceed
with seasoning instructions. (Please
reference the Griddle Seasoning
Instructions section)
TURNING GRIDDLE OFF
Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn
LP cylinder OFF by turning hand-
wheel clockwise to a full stop.
!
WA R N I N G
DO NOT leave griddle
unattended while preheating
or burning off food residue. If
griddle has not been regularly
cleaned, a grease fire can occur
that may cause serious injury or
property damage.
!
D A N G E R
DO NOT place flammable
items on side shelves near the
griddle. Aerosol containers are
particularly hazardous because
they can overheat and result
in an explosion, fire, severe
personal injury, or death.
