Low or incomplete ame
(assuming burners and Venturi tubes are
free and clear of blockages)
• Flow limiting device in regulator has been activated.
Too much heat/Excessive are up • Grease build up around burner system causing dangerous and over-heating.
• Cooking on the “MAX” setting, without adjusting temperature control.
• Grease catch need to be cleaned.
• Covering more than 70% of the cooking surface may cause the Griddle to overheat.
• Excessive fat on meat and cooking on high temperatures.
Griddle top is rusting The griddle top is made of steel and will RUST when seasoning has worn off, has not been applied,
or when the griddle has been stored for long periods. Follow the “Seasoning and Griddle Care”
instructions in this manual, to remove rust and re-season the griddle.
Food is sticking to
the griddle top
The seasoning has worn off of the griddle top. Repeat the steps outlined in the “Seasoning And
Griddle Care” section of this manual, to create a slick, non-stick, seasoned griddle surface.
Decreasing heat,
“popping sound”
• Out of propane.
• Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.
Humming noise from Regulator • Cylinder valve opened too quickly.
Melting gas supply hose • Your griddle’s gas supply hose and regulator contains a
thermal element that will shut off the ow of gas between 240°F and 300 °F, by melting the supply
hose and essentially disconnecting from the LP cylinder.
• Poor ventilation caused by in-appropriate clearance at the sides and rear of the griddle.
• Overheating caused by high cooking temperatures and grease re.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION
Always allow su󰀩cient time for the griddle to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.
WARNING:
HEED THE WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS PERFORM A LEAK TEST, EVERY TIME YOU REFILL OR
CHANGE YOUR GAS TANK. NEVER LEAVE YOUR PROPANE TANK OPEN WHILE NOT IN USE. NEVER
LEAVE THE CONTROL KNOBS ON WHILE NOT IN USE. ALWAYS OPEN YOUR GRIDDLE LID BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT YOUR GRIDDLE.
PROBLEM IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE:
Grease fires Cooking with excess oil or grease on the cook surface, can cause a grease fire on the griddle surface,
which can also ignite excess grease within the grease catch.
Prevent Grease Fires:
• Ensure the griddle is leveled correctly to ensure a positive ow of grease into the grease catch.
• If are-ups occur, adjust the cooking temperatures to low.
Griddle surface has a brown sticky surface IMPORTANT: The Members Mark Griddle is pre-treated with soy oil as a protective coating following
manufacturing. This coating may leave a discoloration on the griddle top. This is normal and will not
affect the seasoning process. Follow the seasoning instructions on page 15.
Griddle surface has warped
Attention: Small variations in
manufacturing and raw materials can
cause some griddles to be slightly warped.
Tips to avoid temporary warping; 1)Always use all available burners, 2) Preheat at lower temperatures
and for a shorter period. This will also give you greater control of your griddles temperature, which if
preheated too hot, will take a long time to cool, 3) Don’t overheat. You might get the urge to turn your
burners up to full blast the first time you use the Griddle, but don’t! Most only need to be set to “MED”
to heat to over 500 degrees F, 4)Using pots or pans on the Griddle can act like a heat sink pulling
tremendous amount of heat from the Griddle and possibly warping the steel temporarily, 5) Avoid wild
temperature differences- It’s perfectly fine to use “zones” of different temperatures on the Griddle for
cooking different kinds of foods at the same time, however, extreme differences such as one side
heated on “MAX”, while the opposite is set to “MIN”.
Fire within Cabinet • A gas leak between the tank and the regulator. Leak tests must be performed every time a tank is
relled.
• Gas tank and control knobs left on while griddle is not in use.

SEASONING AND GRIDDLE CARE
Oil’s For Seasoning
a. Vegetable oil
b. Vegetable shortening
c. Canola oil
d. Flax oil
e. Olive oil - Not ideal. Burns off at lower temperatures than the other options above.
DO NOT USE SOAP on the griddle surface, this will destroy the seasoning.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
With continued use of your griddle, the seasoning bond will get better and better. Applying a coating of oil at the
start and nish of each cook, will help to maintain seasoning. Never use soap to clean the griddle, this will
destroy the seasoning. Never pour cold water on surface, as this can cause the surface to warp.
Griddle Cleaning Tools
You will need:
Cleaning Your Griddle
Griddle Surface:
Preheat your griddle. Use a water bottle to squirt the griddle surface. Use a griddle scraper to loosen any debris on
the surface. Apply more water if needed. Be careful not to use too much water, as you may overflow the grease catch.
Once the griddle top is reasonably clean, scraped and dry, apply a thin coat of oil to maintain the seasoning bond and
prevent rust.

Burners & Firebox Maintenance
Although your griddle’s firebox is fully protected from grease and other build-up that can accumulate during cooking,
regular checks of the burners and ignition electrode are still required to ensure proper performance, safety and a
longevity of your parts.
Burners
Because the burners are covered by the griddle top, it is not as easy to identify poor performance and premature aging
of parts.
For this reason, we recommend that once a season the griddle top is removed and burner maintenance conducted.
1. Remove griddle top. Place on the ground, right side up.
2. Remove hitch pins/screws to free the burners.Use WD40 and
a screwdriver/pliers to make this removal easier.
3. Remove burners
4. Use a flexible venturi brush to clean the interior of the burners.
Ensure you enter the burner far enough to remove any spider
webs and nests that may be present.
5. Use a wire or paper clip to clean any blocked burner ports.
6. Brush away any rust or corrosion from the burners surface,
and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Dry the burners.
7. Re-install the burners. Ensure that the burners are properly seated on the valve gas jet before assembling
hardware.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
Before reinstalling burners, use a cotton swab to clean the valve gas jet.

• DO wipe down all surfaces frequently with a basic vinegar and water solution, or basic warm water and detergent.
• DO RINSE OFF all cleaners, with clean warm water, and dry completely with a soft or microfiber cloth.
• DO NOT use any chloride-containing detergents, abrasive cleaners, bleach or other chemical cleaners as the may
permanently damage painted surfaces.
Cleaning The Lid
Over time you may notice “paint-like” peeling on the inside of the griddle lid. During use grease and smoke vapor’s turn
into carbon deposits, which eventually begin to peel. These deposits are non-toxic but should be cleaned off to avoid
flakes falling onto food. Use a grill brush to brush the carbon build up from inside the lid on a regular basis to avoid this
build-up.
Because of the high temperature capabilities of this Griddle, cooking on high temperatures with the lid closed will cause
the stainless steel to discolour. This will have no impact on the performance of the lid.
