6. Care And Maintenance
6.1 Care
Regular care of your grill will help keep it operating properly. All maintenance should be done only when the
grill is cool and with the fuel supply turned off. Occasionally inspect and tighten hardware that may become loose.
6.2 Cleaning The Venturi Tube
A spider’s nest or wasp’s mud inside the Venturi Tube can block gas flow and can even cause a fire at the gas
control valve. Such a fire can cause operator injury and serious damage to your grill.
To prevent insect related problems, inspect the Venturi Tube screen cover regularly and remove any dirt.

WARNING!
Do not disassemble or alter the fuel supply system. Improper assembly can result in a hazardous condition.
Seek qualified professional assistance if repairs are required.

7. Griddle Seasoning
Let’s Talk About Seasoning
In this case we are not talking about salt and pepper. We are talking about the process of conditioning your griddle
surface for optimal performance and longevity. Seasoning your griddle will help create a non-stick surface for cooking
while also protecting from any rust. It’s worth the effort.
When you receive your griddle it will already have a thin layer of oil applied. We do this to protect from rust in shipping
and storing, but it’s going to need a little more work to perfect it.
First Seasoning
This is the most important one so let’s get this right. You’ll want to start by using some soapy water to wash off the
shipping oil. This gives you a fresh and clean start.
Next, you’ll want to select your oil. We believe that flax seed oil is going to give you the best results, but feel free to use
Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Vegetable Oil or Soy Oil.
Now we can season. In this process you’ll be using high heat to bond the oil to the surface. Using a paper towel rub a
thin coat of oil on the entire surface of the griddle. Then turn your griddle on high. The oil will eventually begin to smoke
which is good. Leave it on high until the smoke stops. That means you passed the smoke point.
Finally, you’ll want to cool the surface and repeat the process above 2 – 3 times until you get a smooth black surface on
the griddle. If the griddle surface is hot you can use tongs or other protective gear to protect your hands while oiling.
Once you’ve completed this process you’ll have the perfect griddling surface to get cooking on!
5. Operating Your Griddle (cont.)
m
CAUTION:
Do not touch any hot grill parts. The outside of the grill bottom especially becomes very hot during use. Use pro-
tective gloves to handle any parts that might become hot during use.
5.6 Using the Griddle
Inspect the burner flame by looking through the match lighting holes.
A good flame should be blue with some yellow tips coming from the burner holes. Yellow tips
on flames up to 1/4“ in height are acceptable as long as no carbon or soot deposits appear.
During operation, stand to the side of grill when opening the grill lid.
Do not expose any part of your body directly above the cooking area.
The burner opening must be positioned properly over the valve orifices.

WARNING!
This table top grill is use with 38”gas hose,we suggest
to use this grill on the 32” high table.
Do not walk or jump over gas hose, a tripping hazard over the
gas hose or propane tank,pulling the grill off the tabletop causing
serious personal injuries or property damage.
6.3 Cleaning and Care
Griddles are remarkably easy to keep clean. After you’ve completed your first cook you’ll want to spray down the hot
surface with water and scrape debris away. The steam from the water on the hot surface will help release tough debris.
Scrape the residue down into the grease trap.
Turn the griddle off and let the surface cool. While it cools you’ll want to remove and clean out the grease trap. Doing
this each time will ensure you have no spill over the nxext time.
When the surface is cool, apply a thin layer of oil over the surface to maintain your seasoning. Then you’ll want to store
in a cool try place. If you’re storing outside cover the griddle to prevent water collecting on the surface.
Even if your surface does start to rust all hope is not lost. Griddles are very resilient and with a little work you can get it
back to new. Simple use a steel scouring pad to remove all rust from the surface. Then go through the seasoning steps
again. This will recondition the griddle and you’ll be back to cooking again in no time.
