When properly cared for, your Wildfire griddle cart will provide safe, reliable service for many years. However,
extreme care must be used since the griddle produces intense heat, which can cause serious injury or even death
if the instructions are not followed carefully. When using this appliance, basic safety practices must be followed as
outlined below.
1. NEVER LEAVE THE GRIDDLE UNATTENDED WHILE COOKING.
2. Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the griddle is being used. Never allow them to
sit, stand, or play on or around the griddle. Do not store items of interest to children around or below the griddle
or in the cart. Never allow children to crawl inside of the cart.
3. The griddle and cart shall be used only outdoors and shall not be used in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways,
or any enclosed areas. Do not operate the griddle under unprotected, combustible construction. Use only in well
ventilated areas.
4. Do not use the griddle unless a leak check has been performed on all gas connections.
5. Portable LP cylinders - Always shut off the main valve on the liquid propane (LP) cylinder after each use. Never
use a dented or rusted LP cylinder. Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when
the griddle is in operation or is hot.
6. Inspect LP gas supply hose prior to each use of the griddle. The hose must be kept away from heated areas of the
griddle. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, or the hose is cut, it must be replaced before using the
griddle. The hose and LP regulator are supplied as a complete assembly and must be replaced together. Do not
attempt to repair or replace the hose itself.
7. Keep any electrical supply cord away from the heated areas of the griddle. The cord is provided with a 3-prong
grounding plug which should not be removed or altered. Do not use this appliance with an ungrounded,
2-prong adapter. The cord must be plugged into a properly grounded GFCI-protected outlet.
8. Keep the areas surrounding the griddle free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors
such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion gases (rear) and ventilation
airways (front). Keep the rear area free and clear of debris, extra LP cylinders, etc. Do not block the ventilation
louvers of the cart.
9. If your griddle is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool before moving. If propane is used, the LP cylinder must be
disconnected and stored OUTSIDE in a well-ventilated area, out of the reach of children. A griddle cover is
recommended, even when stored indoors.
10. Never move the griddle when hot. When in use, portions of the griddle are hot enough to cause severe burns.
11. Do not repair or replace any part of the cart unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other warranty
and non-warranty service should be referred to and performed by a qualified technician.
12. Clean the griddle and cart with caution. Avoid steam burns - do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the
griddle or cart while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite when applied to a hot
surface. Be sure all griddle controls are turned off and the griddle and cart are cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner on or around the griddle and cart. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in
the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. Clean and perform general maintenance on the
griddle and cart twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or insect activity.
13. Do not overload the side shelves of the cart as this may result in damage to the unit, or personal injury. Do not sit,
step, or push down on the side shelves. The maximum load rating of the side shelf is 25 lbs. (11.3 kg).
