Install the Griddle on a flat surface coated with an inflammable material (tiles, fire brick,
etc.). The distance between the Griddle and adjacent walls must be at least 12". We
recommend bottles of commercial butane or propane, using the appropriate
pressure regulator. Keep the gas bottle as far away as possible from any heat
sources, placing it on the ground alongside or behind the Griddle.

Make sure the control knobs are in the off position. The Griddle must be connected using the
3/8 flare connection.
The hose length must be suitable for your use and visible along its entire length, without
exceeding 5ft.
Check that the flexible hose is in good condition and do not hesitate to change it if it looks
cracked or damaged. The flexible hose must not be twisted or pulled and must not come
into contact with hot parts of the appliance. After connecting the hose to the appliance,
connect the pressure regulator to the hose and the gas cylinder, following the instructions
supplied with the pressure regulator and the hose. Then check for gas leaks as follows:
Check for leaks using soapy water, away from any heat sources (cigarette, electrical
appliance, etc.).
Never test for leaks using a flame.
• Put soapy water on all the connections, turn on the gas inlet and check whether any
bubbles form.
• The presence of a bubble = gas leak; shut the gas cylinder or gas supply and tighten
the connections again. Repeat the test for leaks.
• If the leak persists or comes from another part, do not use your Griddle and contact the
manufacturer.
DANGER: NEVER USE AN APPLIANCE THAT LEAKS.

Your new Le Griddle arrives configured to operate on propane (LP) gas. To convert it to Natural Gas please
Please follow these simple steps.
1. Remove the griddle plate by lifting straight up. Be careful, it is VERY heavy.
2. Remove the screw located at the rear of each burner (Pic #1)
3. Remove the nut located under the front control panel which also holds burner in place. (Pic 2)
4. Carefully remove the 10 mm nut that holds the thermocouple in place (Pic 3) Note the position of the
thermocouple as it is important to replace it in the same position later.
5. Lift up the rear of the burner just enough to pull it back and set it aside to gain access to the orifice located
in the front control panel. Be cautious of the ignitor wire and ceramic tip which are still attached and are
fragile.
6. Using a 7 mm socket, gently remove the original orifice and replace it with the natural gas one. The natural
gas orifice (hole) is slightly larger than the LP due to the properties of the gas.
7. Put the burner back in place, replace the thermocouple nut mounting it back where it was, then replace
the nut under the control panel and the screw in the rear of the body and you're done!

Changing the gas bottle
LP Cylinder must always be changed with the control knobs in the off position and the
valve of the gas bottle shut.
LP Cylinder must be changed in a well-ventilated place, away from any heat sources
(cigarette, electrical appliance, etc.).
Always check for gas leaks after every LP Cylinder change.
Use
Starting up
1. Once installed, the appliance is ready to use. Make sure the gas valve on the cylinder
is turned on. If you smell gas, shut the gas valve of the LP gas cylinder and tighten the
connections again.
2. Turn on the valve by turning the knob to the left, turn the control knob to big flame position
(drawing on knob).
3. Holding it in this position, push the knob in and press the ignition button until it
generates a spark and lights the burner.
4. Keep the knob depressed for 5 to 10 seconds to trigger the thermocouple safety system.
5. Then release the knob and allow the burner to heat the hot plate to the right
temperature.
6. Your appliance is now ready for cooking on.
7. Please allow it to warm up approximately 10 minutes. Surface temperatures and cooking times
will vary depending on the type of gas used, LP or natural, the ambient temperature while cooking
outdoors as well as other factors. To help you with this, we have tested the Le Griddle and found the
surface temperatures to average approximately 185 degrees after 10 minutes on high, 228 after 15
minutes, 280 after 30 minutes and 300 after an hour. We do not recommend cooking on high, we did
this to perform the test. Medium is the preferred temperature setting for most foods.
Comments
- The appliance may give off a little smoke or odor the first time it is used; this is normal.
- Each time the Griddle is used, push and turn the knob to the big flame position and
hold it down for two seconds to allow air to escape, then push ignition button and hold
for two more seconds, then release the knob.
- To see the flame, look through the side of the appliance.
Shutting Down
1. After use, switch off your appliance, turning the knobs clockwise to Off position.
2. Shut the gas bottle valve.
3. Disconnect the gas hose from the appliance and store in a dry, well ventilated place. The
gas bottle must also be stored in a dry, well ventilated place, away from any heat sources.
Cooking:
Over time, you will be able to gauge the right cooking temperature according to the
thickness and texture of food and adapt it to your taste.

Advice:
Do not cut food directly on the plate to avoid causing deep scratches.
Do not leave kitchen utensils on the Griddle, such as cutlery, wooden spoons, plastic
utensils, etc.
Do not overheat the Griddle when cooking as this could blacken the plate and make cleaning
difficult.
The Griddle can also be used to keep food warm after cooking.
Cleaning and maintenance
The frame
To avoid any risk of burns, you are advised to always allow the hot plate to cool down before
cleaning the frame. Clean with a sponge soaked in warm water and detergent. Never use
abrasives or steel wire brushes.
The hot plate
The plate is easier to clean when the Griddle is still slightly warm. Beware of the risk of
burns.
The stainless steel plate on the Griddle is shiny before use. The surface is likely to become dull
and scratched once utensils have been used. After a while, the scratches will fade and the
plate will have a brushed, weathered look.
After the appliance has been used several times, grease residues may appear on the hot
plate; this is perfectly normal.
To remove these, pour a glass of cold water or place ice cubes on the hot plate and scrape off
residue with a spatula or scraper. You can also soak residues in water.
During use, these residues may become detached by themselves; this does not mean that the
hot plate has been damaged.
With a rigid spatula, remove most of the sticky residue on the hot plate by pushing it
towards the drip tray.
Then pour some water on the hot plate to soak the remaining residue (use a wet sponge or ice
cubes).
Leave for a few minutes.
With a rigid spatula, remove the water and sticky residue and push it towards the drip
tray Clean with a scouring pad and then a soft sponge.
Pour some vinegar on the plate to remove smells and strong tastes.
Clean the plate promptly after preparing salty food to avoid any risk of corrosion. Do not use
chlorine based cleaning products as they can also cause corrosion.

The burner
Check the condition of the flame holes on the burners from time to time. If they are blocked,
brush the arms with a stiff bristled brush. Before using again, wipe the burners thoroughly
along with the base of the Griddle.
To clean the injectors, you are strongly advised against using metal objects as these could
alter the technical specifications of the burners.
The drip tray
It allows to collect juices and crumbs off the griddle surface.
You must handle it when it is cold, it must be emptied and cleaned after each use.
The Igniter
It is delivered with an AA (1,5V) battery.
To change this battery, unscrew the push button on the front panel.
Storage
The gas bottle or gas line must be disconnected, then stored away from any heat sources.
Store your Griddle in a dry, sheltered place where there is no risk of it being damaged.
The optional protection cover must be use only when the Griddle is cold.
