BURNER FLAME CHECK
Light burner, rotate knob from high to low. You should see a smaller flame in low position than seen on
high. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to sudden drop or low flame
in the troubleshooting section above.
VALVE CHECK
Important: To check valve, first push in knob and release, knob should spring back. If knob does not
spring back, replace valve assembly before using the griddle. Turn knob to low position then turn back
to OFF position. Valve should turn smoothly.
GRIDDLE CLEANING
• Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Do not apply a caustic
griddle/oven cleaner to painted surfaces.
• Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use Citrisol, abrasive cleaners,
de-greasers or a concentrated oven cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.
• Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe
dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
• Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in
direction of pad on areas with graphics.
FITTING AND STORAGE
Annual checking and tightening of metal fittings is recommended. Store in a cool dry place. Cover the
burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in the burner
holes. If the Griddle is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The
gas bottle should always be stored outside, out of reach of children, and in a dry, well-ventilated area
away from any sources of heat or ignition.

GRIDDLE SEASONING
What is Seasoning
Seasoning is a process by which oil is baked into metal to create a stick resistant surface and protect
against oxidization.
LIFE SMART Griddles come with a thin layer of soy oil on them to protect against rust during shipping.
You can wash this off with warm soapy water prior to your initial seasoning.
What oil should I use?
Some oils are better than others for seasoning. We recommend Flax seed oil for your initial seasoning
since it creates a very durable bond, however, any of the following oils can be used.
• Flax seed oil
• Extra Virgin Olive Oil Vegetable Oil
• Soy Oil
Initial Griddle Seasoning:
The basic idea behind your initial seasoning is to coat your griddle with oil and heat the oil above its
smoke point to polymerize the oil and create a bond with the griddle top. You will end up with a black,
stick resistant surface that is easy to clean.
1. Apply small amount of oil to the surface of the griddle top and spread it around with a cloth or
paper towel (use tongs or metal spatula to hold the cloth or paper towel}.
2. Turn your griddle on medium-high heat
3. Heat the oil until it reaches its “smoke point” and let it continue to heat on the griddle top until it
stops smoking. Your griddle top will start to discolor. This is good.
4. Let your griddle cool a little. Repeat steps 1 through 3 a few times until you have a black surface
on your griddle.
Cleaning and Maintaining your Griddle
To clean the griddle after each use, scrape gently with a metal spatula or scraper and wipe down the
griddle surface with a cloth or paper towel. For tough food residue, pour water onto the hot griddle
surface and let it boil the residue off.
After you are done using your griddle you should apply a very thin coat of oil to maintain your seasoning
bond and protect it from rust. If rust or scaling (chipped seasoning) occur, rub it off with steel wool or
low grain sandpaper and re-season the surface. Store your griddle in a cool, dry place.
What a well seasoned Griddle should look like
Your well seasoned griddle should be shiny black and have a natural non-stick cooking surface. The
more you cook with and season your griddle top, the more black, stick resistant and shiny it will be-
come.

FOOD SAFETY
Remember, you can’t tell whether meat is safely cooked by looking at it. Any cooked,
uncured red meats including pork may be pink even when the meat is done
• Hot foods should be held warmer than 140º F.
• Cold foods should be held below 40º F.
• Perishable food should not be left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature - 1
hour when the temperature is above 90º F.
• Always follow food safety guidelines provided by the USDA.
CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY
WARNING: Before performing any maintenance task, turn off the grill, unplug the unit,
and allow it to cool completely.
1. Turn gas OFF at control knob.
2. Detach electrode from burner. NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner
configuration.
3. Carefully lift burner up and away from valve openings. We suggest three ways to clean the burner
tubes. Use the one easiest for you. (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well)
into a small hook. Run the hook through burner tube several times.(B) Use a narrow bottle brush
with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several
times.(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burn-
er ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.
4. Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.
5. Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.
6. Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged.
If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.
7. Attach electrode to burner.
8. Carefully replace burners.
9. Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

The manufacturer takes every precaution to utilize materials that retard rust including the use of high
temperature paint where advisable. Even with these safeguards, the protective coatings can be com-
promised by various substances and conditions beyond our control. High temperatures, excessive hu-
midity, chlorine, industrial fumes, fertilizers, lawn pesticides and salt are some of the substances that
can affect paint and metal coatings. For these reasons, the limited warranties DO NOT COVER RUST
OR OXIDATION.”
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any loss due to use (or misuse) of incidental or consequential
costs, expense or damages without irrefutable foundations. Under no circumstances shall the manu-
facturer or any of its representatives be held liable for injury to any person or damage to any proper-
ty, however arising. Any implied warranty shall have duration equal of the applicable warranty stated
above. Specifications are subject to change without notice or obligation.
