SET-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Place griddle on a level area clear of any combustible materials. THIS UNIT IS BUILT FOR OUT-
DOOR USE ONLY and should be operated in a well ventilated area.
2. Ensure all control valves are in the CLOSED position (parallel to the manifold).
3. Securely connect the regulator to the propane cylinder and test for leaks according to the instruc-
tions found on PAGE 6 of this manual.
A. QCC Connection: The bright green QCC connector on a regulator threads snuggly and easily
onto the external threads of the propane cylinder valve by turning the QCC clockwise (to the
right) only.
B. POL Connection: The POL connector on a regulator is inserted into the propane cylinder
valve and screws in by turning counter clockwise (to the left) only using the black plastic hand
wheel or wrench.
4. Your griddle comes cured with a layer of vegetable oil. We recommend burning the griddle for ap-
proximately 20 minutes prior to using them for the 1
st
time. This will burn off any dust that accumulat-
ed during transportation. Simply wipe griddle plate down with a damp cloth and then follow lighting
instructions below. Bacon is a great first meal to break in your griddle. You will build up a black car-
bon seasoning which provides a non-stick cooking surface that should not be scrubbed off.
CAUTION: GRIDDLE WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT.
6. Open cylinder valve completely and allow system to pressurize - takes about 1 minute.
7.
TO LIGHT THE GRIDDLE:
Make sure all control knobs are CLOSED - knobs are parallel to man-
ifold. Open propane cylinder control valve and let system pressurize for 1 minute. Hold a lit long
handled butane lighter gun next to the front burner and open the control valve (push in turn the knob
to OPEN - so it is straight up and down - perpendicular to the manifold). The front burner will ignite
instantly with a *POOF* sound. Remove lighter and open 2nd control valve - it will light instantly
from the 1st. Repeat for back burner until all are lit. If for some reason the first burner does not light,
turn off gas source, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and restart lighting instructions.
CAUTION:
GRIDDLE WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT.
8. Your griddle is designed to provide a large warming area under the burners. Standard food pans
(not included) can be placed in this warming area. Cover the food pans with aluminum foil to prevent
drying out/changing texture or presentation.
9.
TO TURN OFF GRIDDLE:
Simply turn all of the control knobs to the CLOSED position
(parallel to the manifold), close main cylinder valve, and disconnect the propane cylinder.
CAUTION:
GRIDDLE WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT! LET COOL COMPLETELY BEFORE STORING OR
TRANSPORTING.
