LIGHTING & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING PROCEDURES
Lighting Burner(s):
1. Become familiar with the safety guidelines at the front of the manual. DO NOT SMOKE WHILE LIGHTING GRIDDLE OR CHECKING GAS
SUPPLY CONNECTIONS!
2. If your griddle fuel source is a LP gas cylinder, check to see that cylinder is filled.
3. Check that the end of each burner tube is properly located over each valve orifice.
4. Make sure all gas connections are securely tightened. TEST FOR LEAKS WITH A SOAP SOLUTION, NEVER WITH A FLAME. (Gas Leak
Check instructions are on page 2).
5. Always open lid before lighting.
6. Set ALL griddle control knobs to “OFF” and open gas supply, LP cylinder or Natural Gas Valve.
7. Ignite only the burners you intend to use, using the same method for each: Push in control knob completely and rotate slowly (3 to 4 seconds)
about 1/4 turn to the left (counter clockwise) until a click is heard. The 3 to 4 second duration should provide enough gas to light the burner. If the
burner does not light, immediately return the control knob to ‘OFF’, wait several minutes for the gas to disperse, and repeat the process. After
burner ignites, repeat procedure with any other burner needed.
8. Adjust control knob(s) to desired cooking temperature.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
WARNING! GRIDDLE HOOD NEEDS TO STAY OPEN WHILE IN USE
Burn-off: Before cooking on your gas griddle for the first time, burn the griddle to get rid it of any odors or foreign matter by igniting the burners,
closing the lid, and operating at “HIGH” setting for about five minutes. You may then either set the controls to “OFF” or cook on your griddle
immediately by turning the control knobs to a lower setting.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE GRIDDLE UNATTENDED WHILE IN USE.
Preheating: It is necessary to preheat the griddle for a short time before cooking certain foods, depending on the type of food and the cooking
temperature. Food that requires a high cooking temperature needs to preheat for five minutes; food that requires a lower cooking temperature
needs only a period of two to three minutes. There is no need to preheat for foods that require slow cooking.
CAUTION: If burners go out during operation, close gas supply at source, and turn all gas valves off. Open lid and wait five minutes before
attempting to re-light (this allows accumulated gas fumes to clear).
CAUTION: Should a grease fire occur, close gas supply at source, turn off all burners and leave lid closed until fire is out. Do not use water or any
liquid to extinguish a grease fire.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to disconnect any gas fitting while your griddle is in operation or while gas feed is on.
