Q. What types of cooking oils can I use to season my griddle?

A. We recommend the following oils for seasoning purposes: olive oil,

vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil, ax seed oil and sesame oil. (Please

reference the Griddle Seasoning Instructions section of the Care &

Maintenance chapter.)

Q. Can I use dish detergent to clean my griddle?

A. Grease cutting dish detergents will erase the seasoning on the griddle and

should not be used aer griddle is seasoned. For tough spots use table salt

and hot water and always coat with a thin layer of oil once you are nished

cleaning. (For griddle cleaning instructions, please reference the Cleaning

Your Griddle section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

Q. Why does my griddle surface look dull and dry instead of shiny

and black?

A. Seasoning is a continuous process. Over time and the more oen you use

your griddle top, the more shiny, black and non-stick it will become.

Q: Can I cut directly on the griddle top?

A: Yes, you can. Cutting on the griddle top will not harm it.

Q. What if my griddle starts to rust?

A. If rust appears on the griddle surface, rub it o with steel wool

or low grit sandpaper and re-season the surface (youtube.com/

watch?v=thPE2IgnSiI). Take care to always completely dry your griddle

before storing and keep away from rain and sprinklers. It is also important to

keep your griddle covered. (For proper storage techniques, please reference

the General Care section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

*CUSTOMERS IN HUMID OR COASTAL CLIMATES MAY REQUIRE MORE

FREQUENT SEASONINGS AND THE USE OF HEAVIER COOKING OILS TO

AVOID RUSTING AND CORROSION.*

STORING YOUR

GRIDDLE

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.

!CAUTION

DO NOT USE SOAP ON

THE GRIDDLE COOKING

SURFACE. This will destroy

the griddle’s seasoning.

Device (OPD). This OPD safety

feature is identied by a unique

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.

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.

bottle in an area where

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
