Your Blaze Series appliance comes preassembled
and requires very little setup. We do recommend the
use of professional help during the installation of your
unit as improper installation may affect your warranty.
Product Inspection: A final inspection of your
product occurs at the factory to ensure a quality prod-
uct is packaged. Please re-check for possible shipping
damage immediately after unpacking your griddle. If
the appliance is found to have some damage, contact
your dealer immediately as often the shipping carrier
will have a time frame to report damage. Remove all
packaging materials, labels and protective plastic film
before you start cooking, and please save the pack-
aging material if there is shipping damage. Keep all
packaging and document condition of appliance upon
arrival.
Caution: Do not leave the unit under the sun
with the protective film as it will make the film diffi-
cult to remove and/or leave markings on the mate-
rials which are not covered by the warranty. Never
place your fingers inside the observation openings
in the griddle plate during removal or replacement of
the griddle plate and never place your fingers inside
the observation openings in the griddle at any time as
injury could occur.
Burners: Check the burner tubes and remove any
obstructions that may be in the ports or holes. Using cold
water and a brush will be sufficient. Make sure all foreign
particles are removed from the burner before use. Make
sure the air shutter on the burners is slightly opened (to
about 1/8" for NG and 1/4" for LP). When finished, ensure
that the burners are aligned with the valve orifice and
seated in the bracket slot. This is accomplished by first
placing the burner tube shutter hole securely over the
valve orifice and ensuring the male post on the griddle
chassis rests in the corresponding slot in the rear of the
burner. Failure to do so could result in a fire and injury.

BURNER TUBES MUST BE INSPECTED
AND CLEANED BEFORE EACH USE: Spiders
and small insects occasionally make nests
in the burner tubes. These nests can lead to
a gas flow obstruction, which could result in
a fire around the burner tubes. This type of
fire is known as “flashback” and can cause
serious damage to your appliance and create
an unsafe condition for the user. Frequent
inspection and cleaning of the burner tubes
for any obstruction is necessary.
Flashbacks, also known as flash fires or flare-
ups, can occur in griddles when fats and
juices from food drip onto the hot burners or
coals, causing a sudden burst of flames. It's
important to understand and heed warnings
related to flashbacks to ensure safe cooking.
BURNERS MUST BE ALIGNED: Blaze
products ship to you with pins/screws
locking our burners in place. For proper
operation, burners must be aligned with the
valve orifice and seated in the bracket slot.
This is accomplished by first placing the
burner tube shutter hole securely over the
valve orifice and ensuring the male post on
the griddle chassis rests in the opening in
the rear of the burner. Failure to do so could
Flashback exhibits a characteristic “whooshing
jet like” sound. If this should occur, immediately

Warning: Never preheat with griddle hood in the closed position. Do not cook for an extended
period of time or leave unattended with the griddle lid closed. This can cause overheating and damage
your griddle by causing excessive heating. Always, slowly heat your griddle to prevent warping.
If the countertop of your outdoor kitchen extends
beyond the edge of the island, it will be necessary to
make notches on the front edges of the countertop
to allow the appliance to fit perfectly against the
front edge of the countertop. The usual size of
the notch is 3/4" by 3/4", but Blaze recommends
placing the product in the cutout and marking the
notch according to the desired width and depth for
a precise fit due to varying personal preferences.

This outdoor cooking gas appliance must not be installed
under overhead combustible construction.
When installing a Blaze Appliance under an Non-
Combustible overhead construction:
When installed under non-combustibles, the area above
the Blaze appliance must be covered with a UL-approved
vent hood. The vent hood must provide protection for the
overhead construction. The bottom of the exhaust fan
should be placed 36'' above the cooking surface.
It is imperative that a Blaze appliance is not installed
under combustible overhead construction.
When installed under overhead non-combustible
construction, a vent hood is still recommended. Gas
appliances produce a large amount of smoke. The covered
area should be properly ventilated.
When using a vent hood, the area above the cooking
surface of the oven must be covered with a vent hood
larger than the cooking area of the oven, and with a
minimum of 1000 CFM for proper outdoor application.

•
Location of appliance: Most importantly, this is
an outdoor appliance. Ensure your appliance is
positioned safely away from anything that can catch
fire. Under no circumstance is this appliance to be
used indoors. This includes garages or any other
enclosed area.
•
This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not approved to
be installed in or on any recreational vehicles or boats.
Blaze appliances are for single family/residential use
only.
•
When determining a suitable location, take into
account concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths, and keeping any gas
supply lines as short as possible. Do not store
combustible materials, gasoline, or flammable liquids
or vapors around the appliance.
•

ventilation air to this appliance.
BLZ-GRIDDLE-LTE3-LP/NG
11
•
Non-combustible enclosure: The Blaze griddle must
be installed in a noncombustible enclosure only. The
determination of whether a location is combustible
or non-combustible construction is made by the local
fire marshal, building inspector, or the local safety
authority having jurisdiction.
•
Clearance from combustibles: Ensure your
appliance remains at a distance of at least 18"
from sides and 18" from back from any combustible
material such as wood, gyprock, paper and plants.
Do not store combustible materials, gasoline, or
flammable liquids or vapours around the appliance.
The outdoor kitchen structure itself should be
constructed completely out of non-combustible
materials. BlazeGrills.com offers an insulating
jacket that may be used to increase protection of
surrounding construction.
•
Adequate ventilation: Ensure there is adequate
ventilation for both the appliance, griddle cart, and/
or island cavity. This is required not only for proper
combustion, but also to prevent gas build -up. While
the amount of venting required varies on a case-
by-case basis, consult with your local licensed
professional and local code for adequate venting
requirements. Keep the ventilation openings of the

accumulate in a confined space.
•
Keep any electrical supply cords and fuel supply
hoses away from any heated surfaces and/or sharp,
aressive edges.
•
Firm level surface: Use your appliance only on a
firm level surface. This appliance is not designed for
recreational vehicles, and should not be installed on
a boat or marine craft.
•
Protection from ether: Keep the appliance protected
from adverse weather, including rain and winds.

installed, you should be able to access the gas supply
line including the gas piping or hose, gas regulator,
gas cylinder and any shut off valves. Allow clear
access to the entire gas supply hose and regulator.
•
Partial enclosures: Many backyards have areas
that are partially closed off, such as balconies and
pergolas. In some cases, it is hard to decide whether
these partially enclosed areas should be classified
as indoor areas, particularly in terms of permanent
(non-closable) ventilation. Consult the AHJ (Authority
Having Jurisdiction) or local contractor of any
uncertainty. This outdoor cooking gas appliance
shall not be located in an indoor application.
•
Outdoor Appliance with Three Walls, No Roof: An
appliance is considered to be installed outdoors if it
is placed in an area with up to three walls but no roof
or overhead cover. The walls must be permanently
open, meaning they cannot be closed off by sliding
doors, garage doors, windows, or screens.
•
Outdoor Appliance with a Roof and Two Walls: An
appliance is also considered outdoors if it is installed
in a space with a roof and no more than two walls.
The walls can be either parallel or meet at a corner,
like in a breezeway. All openings in this space must
remain permanently open, and sliding doors, garage
doors, windows, or screens are not considered as
permanent openings.
• • Do not use under 0 degrees F.

Procedure for LP Cylinder
Connection (20 lbs.):
All purging and refilling of LP cylinders must be performed
by qualified personnel in the LP gas industry.
Transporting and Storing LP Cylinders:
Transport only 1 cylinder at a time, ensuring the cylinder
is secured in an upright position with the control valve
turned off and the dust cap in place. Store cylinders
upright, outdoors — not in a building, garage, or any
other enclosed area — and out of the reach of children.
Connecting LP Cylinders:
Step 1: Slide the Blaze appliance halfway into the cart
or built-in then Install the factory-supplied hose and
regulator assembly as shown. Connect the 3/8” flare
end of the hose to the griddle coupling using a 3/8”
open wrench. Do not apply pipe sealant to the 3/8” flare
connection.
Step 2: Connect the regulator to the LP cylinder. Hand
tighten it, do not use a wrench. Check for leaks using
soapy water solution (see pg. 17).
Replacing LP Cylinder:
Step 1: To disconnect, turn the burner knobs to the OFF
position.
Step 2: Close the cylinder valve by turning the hand
wheel counterclockwise until it stops.
Step 3: Disconnect the regulator from the LP cylinder.
Step 4: Replace LP cylinder and connect regulator hose.
Check for leaks.
Note: An enclosure for LP gas cylinder must be vented
on the level of the cylinder valve and at floor level. The
effectiveness of the opening(s) for purposes of ventilation
shall be determined with the LP gas supply cylinder in
place (see pgs. 19–21).
WARNING: Do not place more than one cylinder in the
base cabinet enclosure at any time.
Install the factory-supplied hose and regulator
assembly as shown:
Note: pressure relief valve outlet should not point
toward the user when used.
The LP pressure regulator and hose supplied with this
unit must be used without alteration.
LP Gas Cylinder Seal Inspection For appliances using a
CGA 791 connection:
Inspect the Seal: The cylinder's elastomer face seal may
show visible damage or wear over time, which could cause
a leak even if the connection is tightened.
Check Before Every Use: Visually inspect the seal every
time the LP gas cylinder is replaced or refilled. Return
Damaged Cylinders: If you see cracks, pitting, or other
signs of deterioration (as shown in Figure 5), return the
cylinder unused to the seller.

Natural Gas Installation:
The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with either the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSA B149.1 or Propane Storage and
Handling Code, B149.2.
•
This gas appliance and its individual shutoff valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system
at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
•
This appliance must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
If the gas griddle is factory built for natural gas:
The regulator supplied is set for 4" water column (WC).
The regulator is convertible to 11"WC (2.49 kPa) for
plumb-in system LP application. Do not use with a 20
lb. LP cylinder. Make sure that the regulator is set for
the correct gas type. To check, remove the brass hex
cap. You will find the conversion plastic pin attached
to the cap to the underside of the cap. If the disc (1/2".
diameter) of the pin is close to the cap, then the regulator
is set for natural gas. If the disc is at the tip of the pin,
away from the brass cap, the regulator is set for system
LP application. To convert to natural gas, remove the
plastic conversion pin and invert and replace it back in
a manner such that the disc is close to the brass cap.
For both natural and LP, the maximum inlet pressure is
14"(WC) (3.5 kPa).
Natural gas Connection:
•
Connect a suitable natural gas flex connector to the
griddle regulator located on the rear right corner
of the appliance. It is recommended to use a flex
connector with a minimum of a 5/8” diameter or
larger.
•
Seal all non-flared fittings with thread sealant or
Teflon tape. Make sure it is rated for gas appliances
•
Ensure the flex connector is protected from sharp
edges, heat, aressive surfaces, and kinking.
•
Check the appliance controls to ensure all control
valves are in the full OFF position.
•
Turn on the main gas supply and check all connections
for leaks using soapy water (see pg. 17).
• The regulator used must be set for 4” WC and is for
use with natural gas only.
•
Note: Most low-pressure regulators have a directional
arrow indicating the direction in which the gas must
travel Ensure the arrow is pointing in the direction
of the appliance.
•
An installer-supplied gas shutoff valve must be
installed in an accessible place.

Convertible Gas Regulator (if
applicable):
Caution: This should only by performed by a licensed
gas professional. There is a tutorial video at blazegrills.
com to supplement the instructions below.
• Currently all natural gas griddles are supplied with a
regulator which is appropriate for use with natural gas
or low-pressure propane.
•
When converting to propane gas, the most common
propane canister used is a smaller sized portable
canister (typically 5 gallons or 20 pounds).The pre-
installed regulator will need to be converted to LP
gas (see below) and add a secondary low-pressure
hose and regulator with an outbound pressure set to
approximately 11" WC. If an individual is intending on
using propane provided from a larger tank permanently
installed on location, the regulator included with the
appliance will only need to be converted for use with
LP fuel (see NG-LP regulator conversion below).
Please be aware that this included regulator can only
withstand an inbound pressure of .5 PSI or roughly
14" WC pressure. Any higher pressure on location will
have to be further regulated before connecting to the
regulator on the appliance. Please consult your local
propane gas provider to confirm the gas pressure on
the supply line feeding the appliance.
• If converting to natural gas, a low-pressure regulator
with an outbound pressure set to 4" WC
• With either setup, remember to always check for gas
leaks after the job is complete (see pg. 17).
Fuel (Gas) Conversion Instructions
for Blaze gas griddle:
Caution: This should only by performed by a
licensed gas professional.
Main Burners:
Step 1: Remove griddle plate to expose the main burners
in the appliance (See pg. 5).
Step 2: On the top rear of each burner is a set of screws.
Remove screws. (unless they were removed prior to
installation into an outdoor kitchen).
Step 3: To remove burner, pull burner upwards and slide
burner toward the rear of the appliance. Repeat for each
burner.
Step 4: Where the burner was previously located,
connecting to the main valve through the hole in the
basin should now be empty space.
Step 5: Inside the space you will find the end of the valve
(toward the front of appliance) with an orifice (brass
fitting) screwed into the end of the valve stem.
Step 6: Carefully remove the orifice with a 6mm socket
set and extension. (These are extremely fragile! When
unscrewing, be extremely gentle. You could easily break
the brass fitting and have to replace the valve).
Step 7: Once the old orifice is removed, replace it with the
new orifice, and repeat for all burners When re-installing
the orifice, do not over tighten or you will strip the brass
fitting. Very little pressure is needed!!!
Step 8: Inspect burners for proper flame appearance.
The ideal flame appearance is to be primarily blue. A blue
flame indicates that the burner is operating efficiently.

Local Codes:
• The self-contained LP system appliance is design
certified to be used with a standard 20 lb., 12 1/4"
diameter; 18" high cylinder with right handed con-
nection threads and this is the maximum size LP
tank to be used. The cylinder must be marked in
accordance with the latest U.S. Department of
Transportation specifications for LP gas cylinders.
(DOT. CFR49 or National Standards of Canada CAN/
CSA-B359 Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods) a propane tank
with an OPD) Overfill Prevention Device) must be
used at all times.
• If there are local codes that apply to outdoor burn-
ers, you will have to conform to them. Installation
must conform with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1, or Propane Storage and Handling Code,
B149.2 as applicable.
• Installation in Canada must be in accordance with
the standard CAN/CGA- B149.2.
• A licensed gas professional or local gas company
representative must perform all gas connections.
• Ensure that the service supplying the appliance is
fitted with a shutoff valve conveniently positioned
near the appliance and giving ease of access.
• The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must
be disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system.
Checking for Gas Leaks:
• Perform a leak test before each use and when-
ever the gas cylinder is connected to the regulator
or whenever any part of the gas system is discon-
nected or replaced. As a safety precaution, remem-
ber to always leak test your appliance outdoors in a
well-ventilated area. Never smoke or permit sources
of ignition in the area while doing a leak test. Do not
use a flame, such as a lighted match to test for
leaks. Use a solution of soapy water.
• Prepare a leak testing solution of soapy water by
mixing in a spray bottle one part liquid soap to one
part water.
• Make sure all the control knobs are in the OFF posi-
tion and then turn on the gas.
• On natural gas systems, turn the main feed valve to
the appliance. On LP systems, turn the cylinder valve
knob counterclockwise one turn to open.
• Apply the leak-testing solution by spraying it on
joints of the gas delivery system. This includes all
valves, pipe connections, joints, lines, and every
point from the gas source to the burners.
• Blowing bubbles in the soap solution and/or there
is a faint gas smell (Typically Gas has an E Smell)
indicates that a leak is present. Do not attempt to
ignite the appliance.
• Turn all control knobs back to the full OFF position.
•
All leaks must be corrected immediately: If you
are unable to stop a leak, turn all control knobs back
to the full OFF position, shut off the gas supply to
the appliance, and release pressure in the hose and
manifold by pushing in and turning any of the control
valves one quarter turn counterclockwise. On LP
systems, remove the cylinder from the appliance. Call
an authorized gas appliance service technician or
an LP gas dealer. Do not use the appliance until the
leak is corrected.

Installing the Appliance in a BBQ Island
Safety Information and Install:
Two person lift: You will need a second person to
help you avoid damaging the appliance or your appliance
island.
Permit may be required: Check with city and fire
department for local building codes. A permit may be
required for outdoor kitchen construction.
Non-combustible material warning: Ensure all
clearances to combustibles are maintained. The island
must be made out of non-combustible material. In the
event it is combustible, the use of an insulation jacket
is REQUIRED.
Protection from Weather: Keep the appliance protected
from adverse weather, including rain and wind. Wind,
particularly coming into the rear of the appliance,
can affect the exhaust from escaping the appliance.
This can back up the heat behind the control panel
potentially creating a gas leak, damage to the product,
and injury. A wind block behind the appliance may
be necessary.
Install Instructions:
Before installing an appliance in any island cutout,
make sure that the opening is not bier than the
outside frame of the appliance unit. The appliance
should rest on the lip of the frame. Pay careful atten-
tion to the location of the gas line. It should be routed
away from sources of heat, sharp edges, and ares-
sive surfaces and should make as few bends as possi-
ble. Ensure the gas line connection will be accessible
when appliance is installed. A safety shut-off valve is
required at this gas connection point. Before install-
ing the appliance into the island cutout, the main
burner cotter pins may be removed for convenience of
service, adjustments and maintenance in the future.
These are accessible from the outside rear of the grid-
dle. Ventilation openings in side walls shall not com-
municate directly with other enclosures of the outdoor
cooking gas appliance. If the outdoor kitchen coun-
tertop will overhang the face of the island, notching
out the two front countertop edges will be necessary
to allow the appliance to slide flush against the outer
front wall to the outdoor kitchen. Due to differing per-
sonal preferences the size of the notch-out, is recom-
mended to be done at the point of installation so that
the consumer can dictate their preference. Ensure
your island cavity is adequately vented. Number of
vents shown in diagram is for informational purposes
only. Consult your local licensed professional for ade-
quate requirements. Ensure your outdoor kitchen is
constructed out of non-combustible materials.
If your outdoor kitchen is constructed of
combustible materials, an insulated jacket is
REQUIRED.
If bbq islands is not manufactured from
"non-combustible" material you must use a blaze
insulated jacket for your griddle.
Install Steps:
Step 1: Slide the appliance into the cutout and then
attach the gas line.
Step 2: Be very careful not to kink the gas line when
lowering the appliance into the cutout.
Step 3: Keep your fingers away from where the appliance
will be supported on counter. Your fingers could become
trapped and serious injury could occur.
Step 4: Check to make sure the appliance is level and
is supported around the entire outside edge. If the
appliance is not level or is unstable, use non-combustible
shims under the outside lip to stabilize it.
Step 5: Remove center shipping Phillips head screw and
discard use the outer two adjustemnt screws to level
your cook surface.

Outdoor Kitchen Ventilation
Failure to adequately vent your outdoor kitchen
cavity could re sult in an explosion or fire:
When building a gas appliance into an outdoor kitchen,
it is necessary to provide adequate ventilation for the
island cavity underneath. This is necessary for not only
proper combustion, but also to prevent a buildup of gas.
While the amount of venting required for your island will
vary due to the variety of differing local codes, inner
framework and design of an outdoor kitchen, the amount
of gas products installed and their locations, etc., all
built-in applications/ islands should be ventilated in
some way. Your local contractor and/or your local code
authority can determine adequate ventilation for each
installation. Stainless steel vent panels are available from
your dealer to cover the island venting. A Blaze insulating
jacket can be found through your local Blaze dealer.
The diagram below shows a variety of examples
of venting locations and configurations for an outdoor
kitchen. These are not the only possible options for
venting but instead simply some examples of the more
common configurations found. Notice the middle set
of vents being positioned lower on the island cavity
for LP gas.. Lower vents are for LP and the higher
vents are for natural gas (examples only).
The following information is important to consider:
•
Must use non-combustible construction or
installed with an insulated jacket.
•
Should NOT be located under any overhead
combustible construction.
•
Upper and lower vents must be provided for
combustion air on both sides of island.
• Vents must remain unobstructed.
• Upper vents must be located 5 inches from the
top of the island to the bottom of the vent.
• Lower vents must be located within 1 inch from
the bottom of the island to the bottom of the first
vent opening and no more than 5 inches from the
bottom of the island to the top of the vent.
• Vents must meet ANSI standard codes.
•
Upper vents must have openings that have a total
free area of not less than 1 sq. in. per lb. of stored
fuel capacity per vent and the lower vents must
have opening that have a total free area of not
less than 1/2 sq. in. per lb. of stored fuel capacity
per vents.
•
Vent opening must have minimum dimensions
to permit the entrance of a 1/8 in diameter rod.
LP/propane gas: LP gas is heavier than air and will
settle to the lowest levels of the outdoor kitchen.
NG/natural gas: Natural gas is lighter than air and will
rise to the highest levels of the outdoor kitchen.

Lighting the Appliance:
Step 1: Open the hood.
Step 2: Use caution when lighting burners by standing
as far away from the burners as possible. Do not put
your hands, arms, head, or any body parts close to the
oven when lighting.
Step 3: To ignite burners, push the burner knob in and
slowly rotate counterclockwise to the high position. Gas
will only be released when pushed in to start.
Step 4: You will hear a loud click as the electronic lighter
produces a spark. Listen for the sound of the gas igniting
and look for a flame beneath the cooking plate. If the
burner does not light on the first try, repeat immediately.
Step 5: If the burner does not light in five seconds, turn
the burners off and wait five minutes with the hood
open until the gas clears before attempting to light it
again. Repeat the procedure or try the manual lighting
procedure below.
Step 6: If the burner does not light after several attempts,
immediately close all gas valves and consult the next
section manualy lighting the main burners.
Step 7: Upon successful lighting, repeat the process on
the other burners you wish to light.
Step 8: To shut off the burners, rotate the knob and turn
to OFF. It is normal to hear a popping sound when the
burners are turned off.
Step 9: Close the valve at the gas supply.
Manual Burner Lighting:
Warning: A long match can be used, but it is recom-
mended to use a long lighter to perform match-light-
ing procedures. Serious burns can occur and lighters
can explode.
Step 1: Open the hood.
Step 2: If you have just attempted to light the burner,
allow five minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate.
Use caution by standing as far away from the burners
as possible. Do not put your hands, arms, head or any
body parts close to the oven when lighting.
Step 3: Hold your open flame to the top of the tube
burners.
Step 4: Push in and turn the control knob to HIGH.
Step 5: If the burner does not light after five seconds,

Flame Adjustment:
Become familiar with the safety instructions at the front
of this manual. Do not smoke while lighting the appliance
or checking the gas supply connections.
•
Make sure that all gas connections are securely
tightened and have been leak-tested with a soapy
water solution - never with a flame!
•
light the main burners and run them on the high setting.
•
Inspect burners for proper flame appearance. The ideal
flame appearance is one that is mostly blue and not
lifting off of the burner surface. There is an air shutter
found at the end of the burner (close to the valve) which
can be either opened or closed to make adjustments to
the flame's appearance. To adjust, remove the burner
from the appliance and loosen the Phillips head screw
holding the air shutter to the burner. If the flame is
yellow, open the air shutter to make the flame bluer.
If the flame is lifting off of the burner surface, slightly
close the air shutter. Re-tighten the Phillips head
screw and re-install the burner to recheck the flame
appearance. Repeat if necessary.
• Turn burners to low flame setting and test for proper
flame height. Flame should be stable and burning out
of each burner port without danger of going out in
the lowest setting. (To adjust the LOW flame setting
simply light the appliance on the LOW setting and
adjust the screw located under the knob on the front
of the valve using a flat head screwdriver as seen in
the diagram below.)

Seasoning:
Follow these simple cleaning and seasoning steps for
optimal performance and long life of your griddle.
What Is Seasoning?
Seasoning is the preparation of steel cookware for
use.
There are two reasons for seasoning:
1. To coat the cookware with a protective coating.
2. To create a natural, non-stick cooking surface
Seasoning is an easy, but very important first step
when using a griddle. When you season your griddle,
you are providing the cookware with a natural, perma-
nent non-stick surface.
Remember: Seasoning is an ongoing process that
takes time and repeated use before a griddle develops
a seasoned cooking surface.
Seasoning Instructions:
STEP 1: Clean the griddle. Remove all food debris with
spatula or scraper. Rinse and dry.
STEP 2: Apply a generous, even coating of cooking oil
(olive, vegetable, peanut, avocado, etc.) to the griddle
surface.
STEP 3: Pre-heat the griddle. Heat on low for 10 - 15
min. Use tongs and a paper towel to spread the oil
evenly across the cooking surface of the griddle.
STEP 4: Heat the griddle. Allow the griddle to heat
until the oil starts to smoke. This process can take
10-15 minutes. The heat helps the oil bond to the
metal surface, creating a protective layer.
STEP 5: Cool down. Turn off the heat and let the grid-
dle cool down completely. The oil will solidify and cre-
ate a nonstick, protective coating.
STEP 6: Repeat. For a stronger seasoning, you can
repeat the oil application and heating process 2-3
more times.
STEP 7: Allow griddle to cool down and store in a cool,
dry place or cover and protect you griddle from the
elements.
By properly seasoning and maintaining your stain-
less-steel griddle, you’ll enhance its performance
and longevity, making your cooking experience
more enjoyable.
Grain Direction
Be sure to season in the direction of the grain the grain
will appear as a direction the small lines on the grill travel

STEP 3: In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk,
yogurt, e, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
STEP 4: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients
and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
STEP 5: Heat a seasoned griddle over medium heat and
lightly grease with butter.
STEP 6: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter onto the griddle.
STEP 7: Cook until bubbles form on the surface of the
pancake and the edges look set, about 2-3 minutes.
STEP 8: Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2
minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
STEP 9:Repeat, lightly grease with butter as needed.
STEP 10: Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh fruits, or
toppings of your choice.
Tips for Seared Steaks:
Preheat the Griddle: Start with a high temperature (450°F-500°F) to sear the first side of the steak for a flavorful
crust.
Finish Cooking: After searing, reduce the temperature to 375°F-400°F to finish cooking to your desired doneness.
Use a Thermometer: For accurate results, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature (e.g., 130°F for
medium-rare).
When bubbles begin to form,
like in the image, it is time to
flip your pancakes.
When pancakes are no
longer liquidy and are golden
brown, it is time to take
them off the griddle.

Our Most Important Tips:
• Don't preheat on "high!"
•
Most cooking takes place at a griddle surface
temperature of around 350°- 400° F, but outdoor
griddles and most stoves are easily capable of heating
cookware beyond 450°F.
•
Preheat on "medium-low" to "medium" for best results.
• The Blaze griddle heats very quickly, and very evenly!
• Cookware may warp due to heating it too quickly.
• Allowing the cookware to heat gradually and bringing
the cookware up to a medium to medium-high
temperature allows the cooking surface to heat evenly
throughout and helps prevent warping.
Cooking and Pre-Heating:
Please remember all griddles cook and heat differ-
ently. It's best to test your cooking surface tempera-
ture before cooking. Light the burners on the lowest
setting.
Wait for 10 - 15 minutes and check surface tempera-
ture. Keeping in mind desired cooking temperature.
Griddle temperature should not exceed 500 degrees.
If temperature does not exceed 250 - 300 slowly
increase temperature from low, to medium-low, to
medium and check again.
How-to Guide:
Exterior Cleaning:
Before covering your griddle*, Wipe down the exterior
of the griddle to remove any splatter or grease, always
scrubbing and polishing in the direction of the stain-
less-steel grain to avoid scratching the material. Do
not use harsh abrasives — instead, use a stainless
steel cleaner to treat the exterior surface for a pol-
ished look. To remove baked-on foods, use a fine-to-
medium-grit, non-metallic abrasive pad with a stain-
less-steel cleaner to avoid specks of grease collecting
in the grain (which will cause the appearance of rust).
*Vinyl covers are the best way to protect appliances
from the elements. They can be purchased through
your local dealer or at BlazeGrills.com.
• Always allow the surface to dry.
• Do NOT cover a damp or still-warm griddle.
Cleaning the exterior of a stainless steel appliance
is important to maintain its appearance and prevent
rust and other damage. Here’s a step-by-step guide to
effectively clean your stainless steel appliance:
What's needed:
• Mild dish soap
• Warm water
• Soft cloths or sponges
• Stainless steel cleaner or polish
• Baking soda
• White vinegar (optional)
• Microfiber cloth
Steps to Clean the Exterior of a
Stainless Steel Griddle:
Prepare Cleaning Solution: Mix a few drops of mild
dish soap with warm water in a bucket or container.
Wipe Down the Griddle: Dip a soft cloth or sponge
into the soapy water and wring it out. Wipe down
the exterior surfaces of the griddle, including the
lid, sides, and any other accessible parts. Make sure
to follow the grain of the stainless steel to avoid
scratches.
Rinse: Rinse the cloth or sponge with clean water and
wipe down the griddle to remove any soap residue.
Ensure all soap is removed, as it can leave streaks or

Caution: Never flood a hot griddle with cold water! This
causes griddle warping and can cause the griddle plate
to crack. Always wait until the griddle is completely cool
before cleaning. After every use and when cool, you can
thoroughly wipe the plate with the grain using a rough
cloth to remove food particles and other cooking residue.
You may use a mixed solution of water and vinegar (2
tablespoons of vinegar per half gallon) and a Scotch-
Brite pad (working in the same direction as the stainless
steel grain) to remove the cooked-in food. Special griddle
cleaners may also be commercially available in your area
which may be used to remove heavy soil build-up.
Thoroughly rinse the griddle with room temperature water
after using any of these cleaners.
Dry the griddle plate and coat it lightly with the cooking
oil of choice or apply a non-stick cooking spray. This will
prevent the griddle from getting surface rust.
Cleaning Your Griddle:
This appliance should be cleaned after every use.
Note: Do not use steel wool scouring pads or harsh
cleaners on any part of the appliance. If necessary,
