OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place griddle on a level area clear of any combustible materials. THIS UNIT IS BUILT FOR
OUTDOOR USE ONLY and should be operated in a well ventilated area.
2. Ensure all control valves are in the CLOSED position (parallel to the manifold).
3. Securely connect the regulator to the propane cylinder and test for leaks according to the
instructions found on PAGE 5 & 6 of this manual.
4. Generously coat griddle plate with vegetable oil or oil-based cooking spray.
5. Open cylinder valve completely and allow system to pressurize - takes about 1 minute.
6.
TO LIGHT THE GRIDDLE:
Hold a lit long handled butane lighter gun or fireplace match next
to the front burner and open the control valve (push in turn the knob to OPEN - so it is straight up
and down - perpendicular to the manifold). The front burner will ignite instantly with a *POOF* sound.
7. Remove lighter or match and push to turn 2nd control valve to the open position- it will light instantly
from the 1st. Do the same for the 3rd burner.
8. If for some reason the first burner does not light, turn off gas source, wait 5 minutes for gas to
dissipate, and restart lighting instructions.
9. Once burners are lit, adjust the control knobs to set desired temperature.
10. Your griddle is designed to provide a large warming area under the burners. Standard food pans
(not included) can be placed in this warming area. Cover the food pans with aluminum foil to prevent
drying out/changing texture or presentation.
11.
TO TURN OFF GRIDDLE:
Simply turn all of the control knobs to the CLOSED position
(parallel to the manifold), close main cylinder valve, and disconnect the propane cylinder.
CAUTION:
GRIDDLE WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT! LET COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE STORING OR
TRANSPORTING.
12. Wait approximately 10 minutes before attempting to clean or coat the griddle plate with vegetable oil.
