COOKING TIPS

LOW HEAT:

Cooks slowly and requires more time.

Breaks down connective tissue and fat for a tender, moist meal.

• Fatty, thick cuts of meat.

(eg: pork shoulder, brisket, chicken thighs, short ribs)

• Delicate seafood (eg: octopus, squid)

MEDIUM HEAT:

Stable heat, takes the average time you’d expect for pancakes, eggs,

toast, and more.

For food more susceptible to heat. Sear without overcooking.

• Fish (whole or in pieces)

• Most seafood

• Vegetables (steam with the Blackstone Basting Dome for best avor)

• Pancakes

• Eggs

HIGH HEAT:

Cooks meals fast and in little time.

Slow cooking would dry up these cuts and make them horrible to eat

since they are lower on fat.

• Lean cuts of meat. (eg: chicken breast, tenderloin, skirt steak, ank)

PROTECTING YOUR

GRIDDLE TOP

Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-

tion. Always cover griddle if stored

outdoors. Choose from a variety of

griddle covers oered by Blackstone.

When protecting griddle with so

cover, use the “tenting” method to

prevent water from accumulating

on griddle top. “Tenting” involves

placing an object (a bowl, tennis

ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover

in the center of griddle in order to

allow water to slide o. “Tenting”

helps prevent rust.

FIRST TIME CLEANING

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:

Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated

with cooking oil to prevent rust and

damage during shipping. For rst

time use, wash griddle with hot,

soapy water.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU

SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.

Rinse and dry completely. Proceed

with seasoning instructions. (Please

reference the Griddle Seasoning

Instructions section.)

!WARNING

NEVER APPLY COLD

WATER ACROSS THE

WHOLE SURFACE OF A

HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.

This may cause warping.

Adding a large amount

of cold or frozen food (or

food with significant water

content) to a hot griddle may

cause griddle to warp.

!CAUTION

DO NOT USE SOAP ON

THE GRIDDLE COOKING

SURFACE. This will destroy

the griddle’s seasoning.

the Care & Maintenance chapter.

Enjoy cooking outdoors on your Blackstone!

STEP  Connect the 20 lb

propane tank (not included) and

hook it on the upper propane

hanger so that it nestles against the

lower propane holder. (Please refer-

PLEASE NOTE: Your retailer can help you

match a replacement tank to your griddle.

LP Tank valve must have:

• Type 1 outlet compatible with

regulator of appliance.

• Safety relief valve.

• UL listed Overll Protection

Device (OPD). This OPD safety

feature is identied by a unique

triangular hand wheel. Use only

LP Tanks equipped with this type

of valve.

• LP Tank must be arranged for

vapor withdrawal and include

collar to protect LP Tank valve.

Always keep new and

exchanged LP Tanks in upright

position during use,

transit or storage.

LP TANK FILLING

Use only licensed and experienced

dealers. LP dealer must purge new

tank before lling.

Volume of propane in tank will vary

by temperature. A frosty regulator

indicates gas overll. Immediately

close LP Tank valve and call local LP

gas dealer for assistance.

Do not release liquid propane (LP)

gas into the atmosphere.

To remove gas from LP Tank, contact

a certied LP dealer or local re

department for assistance.

LP TANK EXCHANGE

Leak test new and exchanged

LP tanks BEFORE connecting

to appliance. Please reference

the Leak Test Instructions

section.

Many retailers oer the option of

replacing empty LP tanks through

an exchange service.

Use only those reputable exchange

companies that inspect, precision

ll, test and certify their tanks.

Exchange tank only for an OPD

safety feature-equipped tank.

Place dust cap on cylinder valve

outlet whenever the cylinder is

not in use.

Only install the type of dust cap

on the cylinder valve outlet that is

provided with the cylinder valve.

Other types of caps or plugs may

result in leakage of propane.

!DANGER

•NEVER store a spare LP

cylinder/bottle under or

near the appliance or in an

enclosed area.

•NEVER fill a LP cylinder/

bottle beyond 80% full.

•DO NOT store an LP tank/

bottle in an area where

children play.

•LP cylinder should only

be stored outside and in a

cool, dry place.

•NEVER leave an LP tank/

bottle inside a vehicle

which may become over-

heated by the sun.

If the information above is

not followed exactly, a fire

causing death or serious

injury may occur.

An overfilled or improp-

erly stored cylinder is a

hazard due to possible gas

release from the safety relief

valve. This could cause

intense fire with risk of

property damage, serious

injury or death.

If you see, smell or hear gas

escaping, immediately get

away from the LP cylinder

and appliance and call

fire department.

!DANGER

Do not insert any tool or

foreign objects into the valve

outlet or safety relief valve.

The valve may be damaged

resulting in a leak. Leaking

propane may result in explo-

sion, fire, severe personal

injury, or death.

If a leak is detected at any

time, STOP and call the

fire department.

If unable to stop a gas leak,

immediately close LP tank

valve and immediately

contact an LP gas supplier

or fire department.

!WARNING

Do not insert a POL trans-

port plug (plastic part with

external threads) into the

Type 1 tank valve outlet. It

will defeat the Safety Relief

Valve feature.

REGULATOR SAFETY

If regulator fails in unit, it must be

replaced with a Blackstone approved

model and must only be replaced by

a professionally licensed, authorized

dealer. Failure to comply will void

the warranty.

FITTINGS & HOSES

• Annual checking and tightening

of metal ttings is recommended.

• Cylinder supply system must be

arranged for vapor withdrawal.

Before each use, check to see if hoses

are cut or worn. Replace damaged

hoses before using appliance.

Use only Blackstone approved

replacement parts for valve, hose, or

regulator.

PROTECTING YOUR

GRIDDLE TOP

Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-

tion. Always cover griddle if stored

outdoors. Choose from a variety of

griddle covers oered by Blackstone.

When protecting griddle with so

cover, use the “tenting” method to

prevent water from accumulating

on griddle top. “Tenting” involves

placing an object (a bowl, tennis

ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover

in the center of griddle in order to

allow water to slide o. “Tenting”

helps prevent rust.

FIRST TIME CLEANING

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:

Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated

with cooking oil to prevent rust and

damage during shipping. For rst

time use, wash griddle with hot,

soapy water.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU

SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.

Rinse and dry completely. Proceed

with seasoning instructions. (Please

reference the Griddle Seasoning

Instructions section.)

!WARNING

NEVER APPLY COLD

WATER ACROSS THE

WHOLE SURFACE OF A

HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.

This may cause warping.

Adding a large amount

of cold or frozen food (or

food with significant water

content) to a hot griddle may

cause griddle to warp.

!CAUTION

DO NOT USE SOAP ON

THE GRIDDLE COOKING

SURFACE. This will destroy

the griddle’s seasoning.

Do not use the LP Tank until

CONNECTING THE REGULATOR TO THE

 LB. LP TANK

Leak test new and exchanged LP tanks BEFORE connecting to

griddle. Please reference the Leak Test Instructions section.

STEP  LP tank must be properly secured to griddle.

(Please reference the Assembly Guide chapter.)

STEP  Turn all control knobs to the OFF position.

STEP  Turn LP tank OFF by turning OPD hand wheel clockwise to a

full stop.

STEP  Remove protective cap

from LP tank valve.

STEP  Hold regulator and

insert nipple into LP tank valve.

STEP  Hand-tighten the

coupling nut, holding regulator

in a straight line with LP tank

valve so as not to cross thread

the connection.

STEP  Turn the coupling nut clockwise and tighten to a full stop. The

regulator will seal on the back-check feature in the LP tank valve, resulting

in some resistance.

STEP  An additional one-half to three-quarters turn is required to

complete the connection. Tighten by hand only – do not use tools.

NOTE: If connection cannot be

completed, disconnect regulator and

repeat steps 5 and 6.

If still unable to complete

connection, do not use this

regulator!
