LP GAS AND CYLINDER INFORMATION
Your new gas griddle operates on LP gas. It is odorless, colorless, and non-toxic when produced. You can
smell LP gas as it has been given an odor for your safety.
Your griddle uses the newest and safest LP Gas Cylinder.
1.
O.P.D. (Overfill Protection Device) - prevents accidental gas leaks caused by overfilling of the tank. Each
tank contains a float that closes the input valve when the tank is 80% full. This allows room for the LP gas
to expand in hot temperatures. A triangular hand wheel distinguishes this type of tank.
2.
Q.C.C.1 Type 1 Quick Connect Valve - provides fast tank hookups and requires only to be tightened by
hand.
In addition, the LP tank you use with your griddle must meet the following requirements:
1.
Required Measurements: 12.5” (317mm) in diameter and 18.5” (472mm) in height.
2.
20 lb (9.1 kg) propane cylinder.
3.
Constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S. Department
of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada (CAN/CSA-B339).
4.
Provided with a listed overfilling prevention device.
5. Provided with a cylinder connection device compatible with the connection of outdoor cooking appliances.
6. A means for vapor withdrawal.
7. Other cylinders may be acceptable for use with the appliance provided they are compatible with appliance
retention means and accompanied by illustration(s) depicting the cylinder mounted to the appliance utilizing
the cylinder retention means and the point of contact between the cylinder and the retention means.
LIGHTING
Always visually inspect your grill before lighting. Replace any hoses that are frayed or cracked before lighting
your griddle. Look for anything that may be blocking spaces for ventilation and remove. After lighting, always
check the flame to ensure you have a good flame all along each burner. If not able to light, or the flame is not
even along the entire burner(s), then see the Troubleshooting section.
WARNING
1. Read instructions before lighting.
2. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner control(s) off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting
procedure as below.
LIGHTING THE MAIN BURNERS USING THE IGNITOR
1. Ensure all burner control knobs are in the off position.
2. Turn on the LP gas by turning the hand wheel on the cylinder valve.
3.
Turn one burner control knob marked with an igniter flame to high.
4. Press the igniter button and hold down. You should hear a clicking sound, which indicates the igniter is
working.
5. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the burner control knob to “OFF”. Wait 5 minutes for the
gas to clear, and repeat the above procedure. Use the manual directions below if it still will not light.
