valve, collar or footing. Dented or rusted
cylinders may be hazardous and should
be checked by your LP gas supplier before
use. The cylinder should not be dropped or
handled roughly.
• Never keep a cylinder in a hot car or
trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to
increase which may open the relief valve
and allow gas to escape.
DANGER
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LP):
• LP gas is odorless, non-toxic and colorless
when produced. For your safety, LP gas has
been given an odor (similar to rotten eggs) so
you can smell if there is any leaking.
• LP gas is highly flammable and can
unexpectedly ignite when combined with air.
1. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder
under or near this appliance.
2. NEVER fill the cylinder beyond 80% full.
3. If the instructions in 1 and 2 are not
followed exactly, a fire causing serious
injury or death may occur.
The safety release valve on the LP
cylinder could activate the leaking of gas
and cause a severe fire and increase the
risk of serious injury or death.
DANGER
LP CYLINDER
The LP cylinder must meet the following
requirements in order to be used with
your appliance:
• Measurements must be 3.8” (9.65 cm) in
diameter by 7.8” (17.8 cm) high with 16.4 oz
(0.46 kg) maximum capacity.
• The LP gas supply cylinder to be used must
be constructed and marked in accordance
with the Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders
of the US Department of Transportation
(DOT) or the Standard for Cylinders,
Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of
Dangerous Goods and Commission, CAN/
CSA-B339.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
SEASONING YOUR GRIDDLE:
It is important to season your griddle every
time it is used.
Seasoning prepares the griddle surface for use
with a coating to prevent rust and to create a
permanent stick-resistant surface. Seasoning,
over time and after repeated use, produces a
shiny black cooking surface. As you continue
to use and season your griddle surface, the
more stick-resistant it will become.
Seasoning Checklist:
■Metal scraper or spatula.
■Cooking oil:
○Vegetable, olive, peanut, canola, coconut,
flax or sesame oil.
○Do not use corn oil. The high sugar
content can caramelize and damage the
cooking surface.
■Paper towels
■Steel wool
Seasoning for the First Time:
1. Light griddle and turn control knob to SEAR
for approximately 15 minutes.
2. Wipe the griddle surface and the inner and
outer walls with paper towels.
3. Using paper towels, rub cooking oil onto
the griddle surface and the inner and outer
walls.
4. Repeat these steps at least twice.
Season After Every Use:
1. Turn griddle OFF and allow it to cool until it
is still slightly warm.
2. Remove as much residue as possible with
a metal scraper or spatula, then wipe the
griddle surface and inner and outer walls
with paper towels.
3. For stubborn, stuck-on residue, relight the
burners and apply cooking oil or hot water to
boil the residue off. If necessary, steel wool
or table salt may be used to scrub residue
away. Repeat this step as necessary.
4. Wipe griddle surface and inner and outer
walls again with paper towels until clean.
5. Apply an even coat of cooking oil to the
griddle surface and inner and outer walls
with paper towels.
6. Light burners and turn control knob to
SEAR. The oil will begin to smoke and the
cooking surface will darken/discolor. Keep
burning on SEAR until the smoke stops.
7. Repeat this process as necessary to re-
establish a stick-resistant cooking surface.
Refurbish a Rusty Griddle Surface:
1. Light the burners and turn control knob to
SEAR for approximately 10 minutes.
2. While the griddle surface is still warm, use a
metal scraper or spatula to remove as much
rust as you can from the griddle surface and
the inner and outer walls.
3. Apply a liberal amount of cooking oil to the
griddle surface and scrub with steel wool.
Continue to apply oil as needed.
4. Wipe the griddle surface and the inner and
outer walls with paper towels.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 until no rust is apparent on
paper towels,
6. Using paper towels, apply another even
coat of cooking oil to the griddle surface and
inner and outer walls.
7. Light burners and turn control knob to
SEAR. Allow griddle to burn until cooking oil
stops smoking.
8. Turn control knob to the OFF position and
allow griddle to cool.
9. Repeat steps 6-8 until the griddle surface
has a nice dark color.
Griddle owners in humid or coastal areas
may need to reseason/refurbish more
frequently with heavier cooking oils to keep
rust and corrosion to a minimum.
