THE LOCATION FOR YOUR GRIDDLE
DO NOT use your gas griddle in garages, porches, breezeways, sheds or other enclosed areas. Your gas griddle is to be used OUTDOORS
ONLY, with at least 21 inches clearance from the back and side of any combustible surface. The griddle should not be placed under or on top of
any surface that will burn. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air around the griddle housing.
PROTECT CHILDREN: Keep children away from the griddle during use and until the griddle has cooled after you are finished. Do not allow
children to operate the griddle.
CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS
NEVER TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WHILE THE GRIDDLE IS LIT! Prior to the first use and at the beginning of each new season (or, if using LP,
whenever gas cylinder is changed), it is a must that you check for gas leaks. Follow these steps:
1. Make a soap solution by mixing one part liquid detergent and one part water.
2. Turn off heat control valve(s), and then turn on gas at source.
3. Apply the soap solution to all gas connections: bubbles will appear in the soap solution if connections are not properly sealed. Tighten or repair
as necessary.
4. If you have a gas leak that you cannot repair, turn off the gas at the source, disconnect fuel line from the griddle and immediately call your
griddle dealer and gas supplier for professional assistance.
