DANGER
If you smell gas:
• Shut off gas to the appliance.
• Extinguish any open flame.
• Open lid.
• If odor continues, keep away from the appliance and immediately
call your gas supplier or your fire department.
WARNING
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in
the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• An LP cylinder not connected for use shall not be stored in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
  
• The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with either the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA
54, Natural gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1, or propane
storage and handling code, B149.2.
• LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 1 lb. Liquid
Propane Gas tank, not included with grill. Never connect your gas
grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.

3
1. A minimum clearance of 610 mm (24 inches) from combustible constructions
to the sides of the griddle, and 610 mm (24 inches) from the back of the
griddle to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not use this
appliance indoors or in an enclosed, unventilated area. This appliance must
not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or overhang. Keep your
griddle in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable vapors and liquids.
Should a grease fire occur, turn the griddle OFF until the fire
is out. Do not throw water on. Do not try to smother the fire.
Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is
valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur,
call the Fire Department.
2. The liquefied petroleum (LP) cylinder must be constructed and marked
in accordance with the specifications for LP Gas Cylinders of the U.S.
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National Standard of
Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of
Dangerous Goods; and Commission.
3. This outdoor griddle is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles
or boats.
Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a
camper, tent, car, boat or home. This appliance is not intended
for and should never be used as a heater.
4. This appliance is not recommended for children, persons with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they are under direct supervision or instruction by a
person responsible for their safety.
5. Parts of the barbecue may be very hot, and serious injury may occur. Keep
young children and pets away while in use. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
heat-resistant gloves, long-handled tongs, or cooking mitts at all times,
since the griddle will become very hot.
6. Never use the griddle without the grease cup installed and hung under
the Fire Box. Without the grease cup, hot grease and debris could leak
downward and produce a fire hazard.
7. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this appliance.
Keep the burner tube and portholes clean and free from debris. Clean before use.
Regular care and maintenance is required to prolong the lifespan of your unit.

4
8. Always check for gas leaks when you connect and disconnect the regulator
to the gas cylinder, especially after a period of storage (for example, over
winter). Check all connections for leaks with a soapy water solution and
brush. Never use an open flame to check for leaks.
9. Clean and inspect the gas regulator before each use of the outdoor cooking gas
appliance. Replace the gas regulator prior to being used if there is evidence of
excessive abrasion or wear. Use only the gas regulator assembly that has been
supplied with this gas griddle. Do not use a regulator from another manufacturer.
Do not use lava rock, wood chunks, charcoal, lighter fluid,
alcohol or other similar chemicals for lighting or relighting.
Keep all such substances and liquids well away from appliance
when in use.
10. Operate this appliance using liquefied petroleum only, which is also
specified on the rating label on the unit. Do not attempt to operate your
griddle on other gases. Do not attempt to convert this LP unit to natural
gas. Failure to follow this warning could lead to fire, bodily harm, and will
void your warranty.
PROPANE GAS WARNINGS
1. Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly
filled or an overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition
combined with the warming of the LP gas tank (a hot summer day, tank
left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to be released since the temperature
increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the cylinder is flammable
and can be explosive.
2. Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of
dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or
other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be
checked immediately by a liquid propane supplier.
If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the
cylinder, do not attempt to light appliance. Extinguish any
open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.
3. Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot.
When griddle is not in use, ensure regulator knob is turned to OFF and disconnect
the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is
attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.

5
4. Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of reach of children and must not be
stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosure area.
CARBON MONOXIDE (“  ”)
Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to
avoid breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. Carbon monoxide
is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane,
charcoal or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry
oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness or death. Follow
these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your
family, or others:
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while
cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning,
which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother and child during pregnancy,
infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system
problems, such as anemia, or heart disease.

A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your gas griddle,
perform a leak test on the connection between the regulator and the gas cylinder to
reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from fire or explosion. A leak test should
be performed a minimum of once a season, as well as:
• before starting your griddle for the first time,
• every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
• after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
• after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.

Dish Washing Liquid
Water
Procedure:
1. Position the griddle in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the griddle is cool to
the touch, and not in use. Verify that the regulator value is turned to the
OFF position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby.
2. Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dish washing liquid in
a bowl. The solution will make bubble, as it will be concentrated.
3. Use a paint brush to apply the solution onto the seal between the
regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for streams of bubbles
coming from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat gas cylinder installation procedure,
but do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten only. Repeat leak test after
re-installation to ensure seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas griddle if you detect a gas leak that
cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedure. Contact your
local Fire Department or Customer Service for alternative measures

knob on the griddle and turn 90 degrees (or 1/4) counter-clockwise SLOWLY (2 to
3 seconds) to HIGH. You should hear a "click" sound to indicate a spark from the
igniter, and look for flame to ensure the burner is lit. If it does not, repeat up to
three times.
4. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the control knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes
and repeat lighting procedure. If the above points do not work, follow Manual
Lighting Procedure instructions .
5. After the burner has caught fire, you are ready to enjoy your griddle at your desired
temperature!
If the burner goes out during operation, turn the control knob to
the OFF position. Wait five minutes before attempting to relight to
allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
IGNITER FAILURE PROCEDURE
If for any reason your igniter fails after three of four attempts, check the
following steps, or start your griddle using the manual method.

To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the griddle must be in operation.
Place your hand at the top of the tank and slowly move down the side until the tank
feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your tank; if
¾ empty, replace with full tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable
material with your griddle. Use of such material will void your
warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion and bodily harm.

Any Pit Boss unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning.
Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your griddle:
1.  
• Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there
are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube or in the burner
portholes. After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests,
webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the
burner. If storing the griddle or before an extended period of non-use, remove
the burner and wrap with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering
the burner holes.
• The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame,
possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture.
If flames are excessively yellow, orange or irregular, clean the oil and food
deposits on the burner surface and the burner portholes to increase airflow.

• Your griddle comes preseasoned from the factory, but it is important to clean
and season your griddle after each use to prevent rust, extend the life of your
griddle, and create a non-stick cooking surface. The seasoning of your griddle
is a continuous process that must be repeated over the life of your griddle to
ensure the best cooking experience and longest life for your griddle.
1. Clean the griddle after each use, using a spatula or scraper to remove all
food and debris from cooking surface.
2. Liberally apply an even coat of cooking oil to the cooking surface.
Vegetable, olive, peanut, coconut, and sesame oils are all suitable for
seasoning your griddle.
3. Turn the griddle off, and allow to cool in a cool, dry location.

• Remove any food or build-up from the cooking surface. Best practice is to do
this while it is still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too
much fallen debris on the cooking components of the griddle. Clean the inside
of your griddle on a consistent basis. In the event you experience a grease fire,
carefully remove the food, turn the griddle off. Lightly sprinkle baking soda,
if available.
• Check your grease cup often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind the
type of foods that are cooked.
• Use a grill cover to protect your griddle for complete protection! A cover is
your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use
or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed, with
the gas cylinder removed (must be stored outdoors).

Follow these helpful tips and techniques, passed on from Pit Boss owners, our staff, and
customers just like you, to become more familiar with your grill:
1.  
• Use different platters and utensils for the cooked meat than the ones you
used to prepare or transport the raw meat out to the grill. This will prevent
cross contamination of bacteria. Each marinade or sauce should have its own
utensil.
• Keep hot foods hot (above 60ºC / 140ºF), and keep cold foods cold (below
3ºC / 37ºF). Cooked foods should not be left out in the heat for more than an
hour. Do not leave hot foods out of refrigeration for more than two hours.
• A marinade should never be saved to use at a later time. If you are going to use
it to serve with your meat, be sure to bring it to a boil before serving.
• Defrost and marinade meats by refrigeration. Do not thaw meat at room
temperature or on a counter top. Bacteria can grow and multiply rapidly in
warm, moist foods. Wash hands thoroughly with hot, soapy water before
starting any meal preparation and after handling fresh meat, fish and poultry.
2.  
• Be prepared, or Mise en Place. This refers to preparing the cooking recipe,
fuel, accessories, utensils, and all ingredients you require at grill side before
you start cooking. Also, read the entire recipe, start to finish, before lighting
the grill.
• A BBQ floor mat is very useful. Due to food handling accidents and cooking
spatter, a BBQ floor mat would protect a deck, patio, or stone platform from
the possibility of grease stains or accidental spills.
3.    
• Always use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of
the foods you are cooking. It’s a good idea to put cooked food onto a heated
platter, keeping the food warm. Red meats, such as steak and roasts, benefit
from resting for several minutes before serving. It allows the juices that were
driven to the surface by heat to ease back to the center of the meat, adding
more flavor.
• Sugar-based sauces are best applied near the end of cooking to prevent
burning and flare-ups.
• Use a set of long-handled tongs for turning meats, and a spatula for turning
burgers and fish. Using a piercing utensil, such as a fork, will prick the meat
and allow the juices to escape.

All gas griddles by Pit Boss® Grills, manufactured by Dansons, carry a limited warranty
from the date of sale by the original owner. The warranty coverage begins on the original
date of purchase and proof of date of purchase, or copy of original bill of sale, is required
to validate the warranty. Customers will be subject to parts, shipping, and handling fees
if unable to provide proof of the purchase or after the warranty has expired.
Dansons carries a five (5) year warranty against defects and workmanship on all parts.
Dansons warrants that all part(s) are free of defects in material and workmanship, for the
length of use and ownership of the original purchaser. Warranty does not cover damage
from wear and tear, such as scratches, dents, dings, chips or minor cosmetic cracks. These
aesthetic changes of the griddle do not affect its performance. Repair or replacement of
any part does not extend past the limited warranty beyond the five (5) year from date of
purchase.
During the term of the warranty, Dansons’ obligation shall be limited to furnishing a
replacement for defective and/or failed components. As long as it is within the warranty
period, Dansons’ will not charge for repair or replacement for parts returned, freight
prepaid, if the part(s) are found by Dansons’ to be defective upon examination. Dansons’
shall not be liable for transportation charges, labor costs, or export duties. Except as
provided in these conditions of warranty, repair or replacement of parts in the manner
and for the period of time mentioned heretofore shall constitute the fulfillment of all
direct and derivate liabilities and obligations from Dansons to you.
Dansons takes every precaution to utilize materials that retard rust. Even with these
safeguards, the protective coatings can be compromised by various substances and
conditions beyond Dansons’ control. High temperatures, excessive humidity, chlorine,
industrial fumes, fertilizers, lawn pesticides and salt are some of the substances that can
affect metal coatings. For these reasons, the warranty does not cover rust or oxidization,
unless there is loss of structural integrity on the griddle components. Should any of the
above occur, kindly refer to the care and maintenance section to prolong the lifespan of
your unit. Dansons recommends the use of a cover when the griddle is not in use.
This warranty is based on normal domestic use and service of the griddle and neither
limited warranty coverage’s apply for a griddle which is used in commercial applications.
