INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) LP GAS TANK RETENTION If using a LP gas tank, the tank must be properly secured within the structure to prevent being knocked over. The tank retention system must be securely fastened to the bottom of the island with the use of bolts, washers and nuts. There must be a minimum clearance of 2” between the floor and the cylinder enclosure. Once secured, place the LP tank in the tank retention system and tighten the tank retention bolt until the tank is snug and cannot move.
INSPECTING I CLEANING BURNERS AND GAS VALVE ORIFICES By following these cleaning procedures on a timely basis, your griddle will be kept clean and working properly with minimum effort. CAUTION – Always turn off the gas supply prior to clearing your griddle. BURNER CLEANING 1. Remove burners from the insert assembly. Bend a stiff wire (a light-weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook as shown below. Run the hook through each burner tube and burner several times.
INSPECTING I CLEANING BURNERS AND GAS VALVE ORIFICES (CONT.) 4. Remove the rear lid screws. 5. Remove the bottom griddle insert screws. 6. Carefully remove the griddle insert to expose the burners.
INSPECTING I CLEANING BURNERS AND GAS VALVE ORIFICES (CONT.) 7. Remove the cotter pin from each burner before attempting to lift up the burners. 8. Use a narrow bottlebrush with a flexible handle. Run the hook through each burner tube and burner several times. 9. Wire brush entire outside surface of burner to remove loose corrosion. 10. Clean any clogged hole with a stiff wire (such as an open paper clip). 11. Inspect the burner assembly for any openings caused by corrosion.
INSPECTING / CLEANING BURNERS AND GAS VALVE ORIFICES (CONT.) BURNER REPLACEMENT INTO INSERT CAUTION – Always turn off the gas supply prior to clearing your griddle. 1. Replace burners back into the insert assembly. There is no need to replace the cotter pin back into the cast peg, it is for shipping purposes only. 2. Check the burners for proper location after replacing. Make sure the valve orifices are inside of the burner tubes (see drawing below).
INSPECTING / CLEANING BURNERS AND GAS VALVE ORIFICES (CONT.) 2. Light any burner by pushing its control knob in fully and slowly (3 to 4 seconds) turning it 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 lights successfully, turn control knob to “OFF”. 3.
INSPECTING / CLEANING BURNERS AND GAS VALVE ORIFICES (CONT.) FLEX LINE AND REGULATOR PLACEMENT Due to packaging purpose, the regulator will be assembled horizontally in the carton. It is imperative that the regulator carefully be turned pointing downward before use. NOW YOUR GAS GRIDDLE IS READY TO USE! Before first use and at the beginning of each season: 1. Please read Safety, Lighting and Operating Instructions carefully. 2. Check gas valve orifices, burner tubes and burner ports for any obstructions.
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.
CLEANING & MAINTENANCE CLEANING THE GRIDDLE INSERT If grease is allowed to accumulate on the griddle surface, it will carbonize and become difficult to remove. In order to avoid this, regular maintenance and cleaning is required. To clean griddle surface, follow these steps: 1. Remove excess oil, grease and food with a thin scraper. 2. Use a damp, non-abrasive cloth with a non-chlorinated cleaner. 3. Wipe surface with the clean damp cloth.
TROUBLESHOOTING IF GRIDDLE FAILS TO OPERATE PROPERLY 1. Turn off gas at source, turn control knobs to “OFF”, and wait five minutes before trying again. 2. Check gas supply/connections. 3. Repeat lighting procedure. If griddle still fails to operate properly, TURN “OFF” GAS AT SOURCE, TURN CONTROL KNOBS TO “OFF”, wait for griddle to cool, and check the following: a. Misalignment of burner tube(s) over orifice(s) CORRECTION: Reposition burner tube to properly seat over orifice. b.
TROUBLESHOOTING (CONT.) YELLOW FLAME Once the entire burner is operating, check the flame color to be sure it is mostly blue (some yellow color will be present because of impurities in the fuel). If the flame is golden or yellow in color the reason could be oil film or other foreign matter on burner. CORRECTION: Either wash burner with mild detergent, or operate burner at “HIGH” setting with lid closed for about 10 minutes.
