BURNER FLAME CHECK
Light burner, rotate knob from high to low . You should see a smaller flame in low position than seen on
high . Always check flame prior to each use . If only low flame is seen refer to sudden drop or low flame
in the troubleshooting section above .
VALVE CHECK
Important: To check valve, first push in knob and release, knob should spring back . If knob does not
spring back, replace valve assembly before using the griddle . Turn knob to low position then turn back
to OFF position . Valve should turn smoothly .
GRIDDLE CLEANING
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint . Do not apply a caustic
griddle/oven cleaner to painted surfaces .
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry . Do not use Citrisol, abrasive cleaners,
de-greasers or a concentrated oven cleaner on plastic parts . Damage to and failure of parts can result .
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water . Wipe
dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth .
• Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad . Use only in
direction of pad on areas with graphics .
FITTING AND STORAGE
Annual checking and tightening of metal fittings is recommended . Store in a cool dry place . Cover the
burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in the burner
holes . If the Griddle is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside . The
gas bottle should always be stored outside, out of reach of children, and in a dry, well-ventilated area
away from any sources of heat or ignition .
