Procedure:
1. Position the griddle in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the griddle is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the
regulator value is turned to the OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make bubble,
as it will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for
streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten
only. Repeat leak test after re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas griddle if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak
test procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Service for alternative measures of testing
to ensure proper precaution.
FIRST USE – GRIDDLE BURN-OFF
Before using your griddle for the first time with food, it is important to complete a burn-off. Start the griddle and operate for a
minimum of 15 minutes on HIGH to burn-off the unit. This will “heat clean” the internal components, dissipate odors and rid it of
any foreign matter.
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
1. Verify that all control knobs are turned to the OFF position.
2. Connect LP gas cylinder as per instructions. Turn LP gas tank valve to OPEN.
3. Note the indicator marker on the control knobs. Push and hold down the control knob on the griddle and turn 90 degrees
(or 1/4) counter-clockwise SLOWLY (2 to 3 seconds) to HIGH. You should hear a
“click” sound to indicate a spark from the
igniter, and look for flame to ensure the burner is lit. If it does not, repeat up to three times.
4. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat lighting procedure. If the
above points do not work, follow
Manual Lighting Procedure
instructions
.
5. After the burner has caught fire, you are ready to enjoy your griddle at your desired temperature!
If the burner goes out during operation, turn the control knobs to the OFF position. Wait five minutes
before attempting to relight to allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your igniter fails after three of four attempts, check the following steps, or start your griddle
using the manual method.
1. Ensure the control knobs are turned to the OFF position. Allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
2. After five minutes, check the following:
• Visually confirm that the igniter is working by pushing the igniter button and looking at the igniter tip for a
spark. If no spark, adjust the distance between the igniter (electrode) tip and burner to 4.5 mm (3/16 in).
• Visually confirm that the burner tube and portholes are not obstructed. If blocked, follow
Care & Maintenance
instructions
.
3. If the above points do not work, follow
