Please read and understand this entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate or install the product. This will ensure
you receive the most enjoyable and trouble-free operation of your new portable gas griddle. Follow all warnings and instructions
when using the appliance. We also advise you retain this manual for future reference.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
DANGER
If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas to the
appliance.
• Extinguish any open
flame.
• Open lid.
• If odor continues, keep
away from the appliance
and immediately call
your gas supplier or your
fire department.
WARNING
• Do not store or use
gasoline or other
flammable liquids or
vapors in the vicinity
of this or any other
appliance.
• An LP cylinder not
connected for use shall
not be stored in the
vicinity of this or any
other appliance.
  
• The installation must conform with
local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, with either the national fuel
gas code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, Natural
gas and propane installation code, CSA
B149.1, or propane storage and handling
code, B149.2.
• LP gas griddle models are designed for
use with a standard 9 kg (20 lb) liquid
propane gas tank, not included with
griddle. Never connect your gas griddle to
an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or authority having jurisdiction,
to obtain the necessary permits, mission or information on any installation restrictions, such as any unit
being installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements or even ability to use, in your area.
1. A minimum clearance of 1270mm (50 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the griddle, and 1270mm
(50 inches) from the back of the griddle to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not use this appliance indoors
or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang.
Keep your griddle in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the griddle OFF until the fire is out. Do not throw water on. Do not try to
smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an
uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
2. The liquefied petroleum (LP) cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas
Cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
3. This outdoor griddle is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats.
Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car, boat or home. This appliance is
not intended for and should never be used as a heater.
4. This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a person responsible for their safety.
5. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep young children and pets away while in use. Do

ENGLISH
3
not touch hot surfaces. Use heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times, since the griddle will
become very hot.
6. Never use the griddle without the grease cup installed and hung under the firebox. Without the grease cup, hot grease and
debris could leak downward and produce a fire hazard.
7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance. Keep the burner tube and portholes clean and
free from debris. Clean before use. Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.
8. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of
storage (for example, over winter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and brush. Never use an open
flame to check for leaks.
9. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior
to being used if there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been supplied
with this gas griddle. Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer.
Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter fluid, alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or
relighting. Keep all such substances and liquid  away from appliance when in use.
10. Operate this appliance using liquefied petroleum only, which is also specified on the rating label on the unit. Do not attempt
to operate your griddle on other gases. Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural gas. Failure to follow this warning
could lead to fire, bodily harm, and will void your warranty.
PROPANE GAS WARNINGS
1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous.
The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can
cause LP gas to be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the cylinder is flammable
and can be explosive.
2. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion,
leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately
by a liquid propane supplier.
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance.
Extinguish any open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.
3. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot. When griddle is not in use, ensure
regulator knob is turned to OFF and disconnect the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is
attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.
4. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosure
area.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)
Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid breathing toxic fumes from combustion or
leaking gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal or other
fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness,
weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this
colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon
monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood
or circulatory system problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

The griddle is set and tested with liquid propane (LP) gas only. The regulator supplied is set for 27.94 cm (11 inch) water column
(WC) and is for use with LP gas only. The factory-supplied regulator and hose must be used with a 9 kg (20 lbs) LP gas tank.
Contact your gas supplier for a special regulator for bulk gas that fuels other appliances.
CAUTION: It is important to inspect the full length of the gas line hose. If it is evident there is excessive
abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being used.

1. On the right side of the cart, place a 9 kg (20 lbs) gas tank near
the regulator. Make sure the gas tank valve is in OFF position.
Ensure the gas tank is completely upright and level on a solid
surface, as it is unsafe to operate the griddle if the gas tank is
not installed properly.
2. Ensure the regulator valve on the griddle is completely closed
by turning the knob clockwise to the OFF position.
3. Remove the protective caps from the regulator valve opening
and the top of the gas cylinder. Save the caps.
4. Insert the gas cylinder valve into the threaded opening of the
regulator valve. Turn the cylinder clockwise until firm. Hand-
tighten only.
5. Gas cylinder is now installed.
The outdoor unit, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas tank under or near this appliance.
2. Never fill the tank beyond 80 percent full.
3. If the information in 1) and 2) is not followed exactly a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.
4. 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.

With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your griddle and the cooking
time needed to perfect your meals. All Country Smokers® units should keep a minimum clearance of 1,270mm (50 inches)
from combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the unit is operational. This clearance must
be maintained while the griddle is operational. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or
overhang. Keep your griddle in an area clear from combustible materials, or other flammable vapors and liquids.

As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of grilled
foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your griddle throughout the cooler months:
• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your
griddle to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your griddle
in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log
or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to
help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.

As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your griddle
throughout the hot months:
• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat
from over cooking and drying out.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up
newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.

A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas griddle, perform a leak test on the connection
between the regulator and the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test
should be performed a minimum of once a season, as well as:
• before lighting your griddle for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.

1 x Paint Brush (
clean )
Dish Washing Liquid
Water
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
arease between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Note
“X” areas in illustration. 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 Care for alternative measures of testing
to ensure proper precaution.

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.

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 knob. 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 Troubleshooting instructions .

To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the griddle must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the tank and
slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your tank;
if ¾ empty, replace with full tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your griddle. Use of such
material will void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

Any Country Smokers® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and
maintenance tips to service your griddle:
1.  
• Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects)
on the burner tube or in the burner portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests,
webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. If storing the griddle or before an
extended period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering
the burner holes.
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the
result of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food
deposits on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.
2.  
• Your griddle comes preseasoned from the factory, but it is important to clean and season your griddle after
each use to prevent rust, extend the life of your griddle, and create a non-stick cooking surface. The seasoning
of your griddle is a continuous process that must be repeated over the life of your griddle to ensure the best
cooking experience and longest life for your griddle.
1. Clean the griddle after each use, using a spatula or scraper to remove all food and debris from cooking surface.
Best practice is to do this while it is still warm from a previous cook.
2. Liberally apply an even coat of cooking oil to the cooking surface. Vegetable, olive, peanut, coconut, and
sesame oils are all suitable for seasoning your griddle.
3. Allowthe griddle to cool in a cool, dry location.
• Grease fires are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of the griddle. Clean the inside of your
griddle on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire, carefully remove the food, turn the griddle
off. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
• Check your grease cup often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the type of foods that are cooked.
• Use a cover to protect your griddle for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and
outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed, with
the gas cylinder removed (must be stored outdoors).

Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Country Smokers®owners, our staff, and customers just like you, to
become more familiar with your unit:
1.  
• Use different platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you used to prepare or transport the raw
meat out to the unit. This will prevent cross contamination of bacteria. Each marinade or sauce should have its own
utensil.
• Keep hot foods hot (above 60ºC / 140ºF), and keep cold foods cold (below 3ºC / 37ºF). Cooked foods should not be left
out in the heat for more than an hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration for more than two hours.
• A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use it to serve with your meat, be sure
to bring it to a boil before serving.
• Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria
can grow and multiply rapidly in warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before starting
any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry.
2.  
• Be prepared, or Mise en Place . This refers to preparing the cooking recipe, fuel, accessories, utensils, and all
ingredients you require are nearby before you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before
lighting the unit.
• A BBQ floor mat is very useful. Due to food handling accidents and cooking spatter, a BBQ floor mat would protect
a deck, patio, or stone platform from the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills.
3.    
• Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the foods you are cooking. It’s a good
idea to put cooked food onto a heated platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and roasts, benefit
from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were driven to the surface by heat to ease
back to the center of the meat, adding more flavor.
• Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent burning and flare-ups.
• Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning burgers and fish. Using a piercing
utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat and allow the juices to escape.
