Changing the gas tank
•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.
Initial Use
Start-Up
1. Once installed, the appliance is ready to use. Make sure the gas valve on the cylinder or gas
supply is turned on. If you smell gas, shut off the gas valve of the NG supply or LP cylinder
and tighten the connections again.
2. Open the lid on your Le Griddle (if supplied)
3. Turn on the Le Griddle valve by turning the control knob to the left, turn the control knob to
the large flame position (drawing on knob).
4. Holding it in this position, push the knob in and press the ignition button until it generates a
spark and lights the burner.
5. Keep the knob depressed for 5 to 10 seconds to trigger the thermocouple safety system.
6. Then release the knob and allow the burner to heat the hot plate to the desired cooking
temperature.
7. Your appliance is now ready to begin cooking.
8. Surface temperatures and cooking times will vary depending on the type of gas used, Natural
or LP, the ambient temperature while cooking outdoors, winds, as well as other factors.
9. Preheat time: 15 min for an outside temperature of 70°F. Increase or reduce this time
depending on the outside temperature by 5 min for 15°F. Medium is the preferred temperature
for preparing most foods.
10.Do not preheat with the lid closed.
11.Do not let the griddle heat without any food on it for more than 30 minutes.
12.Do not use a laser gun to measure the temperature, the stainless steel reflects the beam,
preventing a proper temperature reading. Use a contact thermometer only.
Comments
•The appliance may give off a little smoke or odor the first time it is used; this is perfectly normal.
•Each time the griddle is used, push and turn the knob to the big flame position and hold it down for
2 seconds to allow air to escape, then push the ignition button and hold for 5 more seconds, then
release the knob.
•To view the flame, look through the side of the appliance.
Shutting Down
1.
After use, switch off your appliance, turning the knobs clockwise to the OFF position.
2.
Shut the gas bottle or gas supply valve off.
