CONNECTING TO A GAS SUPPLY

SAFE GRILLING ENVIRONMENT

This gas appliance is designed and certified for outdoor use only. Do not operate the 

griddle inside a building, garage, recreation vehicle, boat, screened porch or any enclosed 

area. Keep the griddle away from windy areas but keep the griddle in a well-ventilated 

area. Do not obstruct the flow of the combustion and ventilation air around the griddle.

• 

CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

A minimum clearance of 610 mm (24 inches) from the sides of the griddle and a 

minimum clearance of 610 mm (24 inches) from the back of the griddle to adjacent 

vertical combustible constructions must be maintained. We strongly recommend a 

305cm (10 ft.) clearance of the griddle to your home or any building.

• 

CLEARANCE TO NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION

A minimum clearance of 610 mm (24 inches) from the back of the griddle above the 

cooking surface to noncombustible constructions is required to allow the griddle hood 

to open completely. A minimum of  610 mm (24 inches) clearance to the sides of the 

griddle above the cooking surface to noncombustible constructions is recommended. 

WARNING: Do not place the griddle under overhead, unprotected 

combustible surfaces.

GAS CYLINDER REQUIREMENTS

The griddle is set and tested with liquid propane gas only. When purchasing a gas 

cylinder for use with this unit, ensure it meets the following requirements:

1.  1 lb. capacity.
2.  Marked “PROPANE.”
3.  Constructed and marked in accordance with Specifications for LP Gas Cylinders 

of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of 

Canada, CAN\CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for Transportation of 

Dangerous Goods; and Commission, as applicable (see label for marking).

4.  Provided with a cylinder connection device that is compatible with the 

griddle’s regulator port.

CAUTION: It is important to inspect the cylinder connection device. 

Check the propane tank valve rubber seal for cracks, wear or 

deterioration prior to use. A damaged rubber seal can cause a gas 

leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. 

Do not use a propane tank with a damaged rubber seal.
