WARNING
Turn control knob and gas source or tank OFF
when not in use.
WARNING
If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the
burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat
the lighting procedure. If the burner does not
ignite with the valve open, gas will continue to
flow out of the burner and could accidently ignite
with risk of injury.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
• When the Suburban Elite Series Griddle is not in
use, ensure the control knob is in the OFF position.
• Never move griddle while in operation or while hot.
• Use long-handed barbecue utensils and oven mitts
to avoid burns and splatters.
• Keep Suburban Elite Series Griddles away from
walls, buildings, vehicles, or other structures when
in use. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
or ventilation air. Refer to the Assembly and
Installation section for details.
• Clean the griddle often, preferably after each use.
• Keep ventilation openings in cylinder enclosure
free and clear of debris.
• Check and clean burner/venturi tubes for insects
and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire
beneath the appliance. Please see “CLEANING
THE BURNER ASSEMBLY” on page 8.
• Keep appliance clear and free of combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or
liquids.
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.
GENERAL 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 brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not
use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.
To clean the griddle after each use
, scrape gently with
a metal spatula or scraper and wipe down the griddle
surface with a cloth or paper towel. For tough food
residue, pour water onto the hot griddle surface and let it
boil the residue off.
MAINTAINING YOUR GRIDDLE SEASONING
After you are done using your griddle you should apply
a very thin coat of oil to maintain your seasoning bond
and protect it from rust. If rust or scaling (chipped
seasoning) occur, rub it off with steel wool or low grit
sandpaper and re-season the surface. Store your
griddle in a cool, dry place.
