PROBLEM
IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE:
Food is sticking to
the griddle top
The seasoning has worn off of the griddle top. Repeat the steps outlined
in the “Seasoning And Griddle Care” section of this manual, to create a
slick, non-stick, seasoned griddle surface.
Decreasing heat,
“popping sound”
• Out of propane.
• Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.
Humming noise from Regulator • Cylinder valve opened too quickly.
Melting gas supply hose
• Your griddle station’s gas supply hose and regulator contains a
thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between 240°F and
300 °F, by melting the supply hose and essentially disconnecting from
the LP cylinder.
• Poor ventilation caused by in-appropriate clearance at the sides and
rear of the griddle station.
• Overheating caused by high cooking temperatures and grease fire.
Grease is not flowing
into the grease catch
The griddle station is not leveled correctly. Follow the steps outlined in the
“Setting Up Your Griddle” section of this manual on page 1.
Grease fires
Cooking with excess oil or grease on the cook surface, can cause a grease
fire on the griddle surface, which can also ignite both the grease channel
and the excess grease within the grease catch.
Prevent Grease Fires:
•
Ensure the griddle station is leveled correctly to ensure a positive flow
of grease through the grease channel and into the grease catch.
•
If flare-ups occur, adjust the cooking temperatures to low.
CAUTION
Always allow sufficient time for the griddle station to cool fully before handling or cleaning any
of its parts.
