Installation
Before each use, check the gas hose for excessive abrasion, or wear, or cuts. Replace a hose assembly
showing those signs with the hose assembly specified in the parts list before using the griddle.
TO CONNECT THE CYLINDER TO THE REGULATOR AND HOSE
1. Be sure the LP cylinder is “OFF” by turning the hand wheel clockwise until it stops.
2. Place the cylinder on the back beside of body with valve facing outward. See the assembly instructions to
secure.
3. Be sure all burner controls are turned to the “OFF” position.
4. Remove the safety cap from the cylinder valve.
5. Center the nipple of the regulator into the cylinder valve.
6. Turn the black nut clockwise until it stops.
Hand tighten only. Do not use a wrench.
WARNING
Always keep the gas cylinder in the upright position at all times.
WARNING
1. Do not connect this griddle to any unregulated sources of propane.
2. Before each use, check the gas hose for excessive abrasion, or wear, or cuts. Replace a hose assembly
showing those signs with the hose assembly specified in the parts list before using the griddle. Inspect the
hose assembly underneath the side burner and following the regulator hose up to its connection to the gas
manifold assembly.
3.
Always perform the leak test listed below before using your griddle for the first time, if the cylinder has been
changed, any gas components have been changed, the regulator flow-limiting device has been activated,
or after a long period of non-use.
4. Do not attempt to connect this griddle to the LP system of a motor home or trailer.
LEAK TESTING THE REGULATOR, VALVES, HOSES, AND CONNECTIONS
1. Ensure the LP cylinder valve and all burners are “OFF”.
2. Ensure the LP cylinder is connected to the regulator.
3.
If the steps above are not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4.
Mix a solution of 50% water and 50% liquid dish soap. Do not use any household cleaner solution.
5. Open the LP tank valve by turning the hand wheel counterclockwise one turn. If you hear a rushing sound,
turn the gas off immediately. In that case, there could be a leak at the connection. Reconnect the cylinder
to the regulator.
6. Spray or brush on the solution covering the following areas:
- Cylinder welds.
- Regulator and cylinder connection.
- Gas hose connections to the regulator
- All gas hoses
- All gas hose connections to the burners including the main and side burners.
7. Growing bubbles on any of the parts and connections listed above indicate a gas leak. Immediately shut off
the LP tank valve by turning the valve clockwise. Retighten the connections or order replacement parts as
needed. Continue to test as necessary until no leaks are detected.
