SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

(CONT.) 

 

PROPANE GAS SAFETY 

 
Your Propane gas griddle is designed to operate on propane gas ONLY, at a pressure regulated at 11” water column (W.C.) when equipped with 

the correct propane orifices on the valves and a propane regulator on the supply line regulated at the residential meter. 
 
Your propane gas griddle is designed to be used with a standard 20 lb gas cylinder. In the United States, the gas cylinder must be constructed and 

marked in accordance with specifications of the US Department of Transportation for Propane Gas Cylinders. 

 
Always keep cylinder securely fastened in an upright position. 

 

Never connect an unregulated propane gas cylinder to the griddle. 

 

Do not subject Propane cylinders to excessive heat. 

 

CAUTION:

 Never store a Propane gas cylinder inside a building or in the vicinity of any gas-burning appliance. 

 
WARNING:

 Gas valves are preset at the factory to operate on LP or natural gas. If you wish to convert to a different gas type, be sure to contact 

your griddle dealer, licensed plumber or authorized service center for further details. Conversion kits are not sold to the general public and require 

a professional to perform service. Failure to properly convert a unit can cause serious injury to yourself and/or others, irreparable damage to your 

griddle and void of warranty. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

SAFETY!  

BEWARE OF SPIDERS 

 
CAUTION:

 

BURNERS MUST BE INSPECTED AND CLEANED BEFORE FIRST USE. 

 
Spiders and small insects occasionally spin webs or make nests in the burners during warehousing, transit and/or after long periods of non-use. 

These webs can lead to a gas flow obstruction, which could result in a fire in and around the burner tubes. This type of fire is known as “FLASH-

BACK” and can cause serious damage to your griddle and create an unsafe operating condition for the user. Although an obstructed burner tube 

is not the only cause of “FLASH BACK” it is the most common cause, and frequent inspection and cleaning of the burners is necessary. 

WARNING  

 Do not store a spare or disconnected liquid propane cylinder under or near  

  this appliance. 

 A dented or rusty liquid propane cylinder may be hazardous and should be 

  check by your liquid propane provider. 

 Do not use a liquid propane cylinder with a damaged valve.
