USE
CHECKING FOR LEAKS
After all connections are made, check all connections and ttings on the propane cylinder valve, and
regulator assembly for leaks with a water and soap solution.
To prevent re or explosion while testing for a leak:
• Always perform leak test prior to lighting the griddle.
• Do not smoke while testing for a leak.
• Always perform leak tests outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not use any source of ame while testing for leaks.
• Do not use the griddle until any and all leaks are corrected.
• If you are unable to correct a leak, disconnect the propane supply and call a gas appliance service
dealer.
PERFORM LEAK TEST
• Prepare leak test solution by 50/50 ratio of liquid dish soap and water.
Total solution required is approximately 2 - 3 ounces (70 - 90 ml).
Put leak test solution in a spray bottle.
• Ensure the control knob is in the O OFF position.
• Connect the regulator assembly to the gas supply.
• Spray leak test solution on all gas carrying connections and ttings. Presence of bubbles at areas
of applied test solution indicates a gas leak. If leaks are detected or you smell or hear gas, shut off the
gas supply valve immediately and repair or replace the defective part. Do not use the griddle until
all leaks are corrected.
WARNING
ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS ON THIS PAGE MUST BE FOLLOWED TO
PREVENT FIRE, DAMAGE AND/OR INJURY.
CAUTION
Only use the regulator assembly provided! If a replacement is necessary, please call
our customer service center. Do not use replacement parts that are not intended for this griddle.

USE
CONNECTING GAS CYLINDER
The propane gas supply cylinder to be used must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
Specications 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, as applicable; and provided with a listed overlling prevention device.
Use only a 1 lb 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder with a CGS #600 connection. Cylinder must be
marked “propane”. The gas cylinder should not be dropped or handled roughly!
If the appliance is not in use, the gas cylinder must be disconnected. Storage of an appliance indoors
is permissible ONLY if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must
be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any
other enclosed area. Your cylinder must never be stored where temperatures can reach over 125°F.
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.
Before connection, be sure that there is no debris caught in the outlet of the gas cylinder, inlet of the
regulator assembly or in the outlet of the burner and burner ports. Connect regulator assembly and
hand-tighten rmly. Disconnect the propane cylinder from the regulator assembly when the griddle is
not in use.
DO NOT obstruct the ow of combustion air and ventilation air to the griddle. The propane cylin-
der must be arranged for vapor withdrawal and equipped with a listed overlling prevention device.
Please use the proper cylinder orientation to provide vapor withdrawal.
CAUTION
a. Do not store a spare propane cylinder under or near this appliance.
b. Never ll the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
c. If the information in (a) and (b) is not followed exactly, a re causing death or serious
injury may occur.

USE
Lighting The Griddle
Before rst use:
Remove all hangings or plastic straps, if present. Before you cook on your new gas griddle, it is important
to clean your griddle with heat. To do this, operate the griddle for approximately 15 minutes with the con-
trol knob in the highest position. This will clean the internal parts by burning off any residue
and odor from the manufacturing process.
WARNING
Do not lean over griddle when lighting. Read instructions before lighting.
CAUTION
If the ame extinguishes accidentally during ignition or operation, immediately TURN OFF the
control knob.
1. Check that the control knob are in the OOFF position.
2. Make sure the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator assembly properly.
3. Depress and turn control knob counterclockwise from off position, past the ignite position, to the
( ) high position. You may need to repeat several times to ignite the burner.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control(s) off, Owait 5 minutes, and repeat the lighting
procedure.
If the burner still does not light, check that there is gas in the cylinder and follow the match lighting
instructions. Check the Troubleshooting Guide on page 16 for more information.
LIGHTING THE GRIDDLE WITH A MATCH
1. Check that the control knob is in the OFF Oposition.
2. Remove griddle top.
3. Light an 11 in. long match.
4. Carefully place the lit match near the burner ports.
5. Press in the control knob and rotate counter-clockwise to ( ) High
position and burner should light immediately.
6. Re-install griddle top. Caution: Make sure control knob is set to lowest ame position ( ) and wear
heat resistant gloves while re-installing griddle top.
7. Adjust burners to desired cooking settings.

To check the ame, view the ame through the holes in both
sides of the rebox. Hole for viewing the ame
Properly Seasoning Your Griddle Surface
You must season the griddle regularly to help prevent food from sticking to the griddle surface and to
extend the life of your griddle by protecting it from rust.
Items Needed:
• Scraper (not needed before rst use)
• Damp Cloth
• Cooking Oil: Flax seed oil is recommended for seasoning your griddle, but vegetable oil,
canola oil, or sesame oil may also be used.
• Paper Towels
• Tongs
Note: Scrape off any remaining food residue from prior uses. This step is not necessary before rst use.
• Wipe down your griddle with the damp cloth
• Light the griddle burner and set it to High ( ).
• Allow the griddle to heat for 10-15 minutes until the griddle top begins to darken or discolor.
• When hot, apply a small amount of cooking oil.
• Using tongs to hold a wad of paper towels, spread and wipe the oil onto all surfaces of the griddle
including the sides. Be careful not to burn yourself while wiping the surface.
• Allow the oil to burn off for 15 minutes, or until no oil smoke is visible.
• Repeat steps 4 through 6 two or three times.
• Regular cooking on the griddle will keep it well-seasoned and prevent food from sticking, but if it
has not been used for several weeks, you should re-season the griddle before using.
Cooking:
After lighting, adjust burner or griddle from high ( ) to low ( ) position for desired cooking
temperature.
