INSTALLATION SAFETY

Appliance 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, or the

Standard for Recreational Vehicles,

NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV

Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as

applicable.

LOW HEAT:

Cooks slowly and requires more

time.

Breaks down connective tissue

and fat for a tender, moist meal.

• Fatty, thick cuts of meat.

(eg: chuck steak, brisket, chicken

thighs, short ribs)

• Delicate seafood

(eg: octopus, squid)

MEDIUM HEAT:

Stable heat, takes the average

time you’d expect for pancakes,

eggs, toast, and more.

For food more susceptible to heat.

Sear without overcooking.

• Fish (whole or in pieces)

• Most seafood

• Vegetables

(steam with the Blackstone

Basting Dome for best avor)

• Pancakes

• Eggs

HIGH HEAT:

Cooks meals fast and in little time.

Slow cooking would dry up these

cuts and make them horrible to eat

since they are lower on fat.

• Lean cuts of meat.

(eg: chicken breast, tenderloin,

skirt steak, ank)

FIRST TIME CLEANING

Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated

with cooking oil to prevent rust and

damage during shipping. For rst

time use, wash griddle with hot,

soapy water.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU

SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.

Rinse and dry completely. Proceed

with seasoning instructions. (Please

reference the Griddle Seasoning

Instructions section.)

PROTECTING YOUR

GRIDDLE TOP

Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-

tion. Always cover griddle if stored

outdoors. Choose from a variety of

griddle covers oered by Blackstone.

When protecting griddle with so

cover, use the “tenting” method to

prevent water from accumulating

on griddle top. “Tenting” involves

placing an object (a bowl, tennis

ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover

in the center of griddle in order to

allow water to slide o. “Tenting”

helps prevent rust.

CUTTING ON THE

GRIDDLE TOP

Using a knife directly on the surface

of the griddle will not harm the

griddle top.

REMOVING RUST

If rust appears on the griddle surface,

rub it o with steel wool, low grit

sandpaper or the Blackstone

Pumice Stone and re-season

the surface.

the obstruction. (Please reference the

Cleaning the Burner Assembly section

of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. Something is blocking the

air gate for the burner. This is

blocking oxygen from mixing

with the propane correctly to get

healthy ames.

Check the air gates in your burner. If

you have adjustable air shutters over

your air gates, make sure that they are

completely open. If your burners have

bug shields, clean any spider webs, soot,

or debris o the bug shield. Clean any

other obstructions out of air gates.

SYMPTOMS

01. A ame is coming out of the air gate.

SYMPTOMS

01. Burner ames are yellow or irregular.

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. Something is blocking the venturi

in the burner tube. This is not

allowing the propane to ow

through the burner, causing the

ame to back out the air gate.

Clean the burner assembly to remove

the obstruction. (Please reference the

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. LPG cylinder is empty or low. Rell or replace the propane tank.

02. Obstructions in the burner, gas jets,

or fuel rail.

Clean the burner, jets, and gas hose.

(Please reference the Cleaning the

Burner Assembly section of the Care &

Maintenance chapter.)

03. United States regulations require

that all regulators contain a ow

limiting device for consumer safety.

This device measures the amount

of propane going through the

regulator to ensure the levels are

safe. If the ow rate through the

regulator is too high (a symptom

of a large leak), the ow limiting

device will trigger, restricting the

ow of propane to reduce the

chance of a dangerous re. This

safety system can accidentally be

tripped by opening a propane tank

too quickly or opening the propane

tank when a burner knob is not in

the o position.

This safety system can be reset by:

Moving the burner knobs to the o

position, closing the propane tank, and

disconnecting the regulator from the

propane tank.

Wait ve minutes to allow the pressure

to dissipate, then reconnect the regu-

lator to the propane tank and slowly

open the OPD handwheel one half turn.

Ignite your appliance as described in the

Ignition chapter.

04. Regulator stuck in safety position. Contact customer service for replace-

ment parts.

SYMPTOMS

01. Appliance will not achieve a high heat or heats unevenly.

02. Burner ames start strong, then immediately drop to low even when

burner is set to high position.

03. Flame height drops when a second burner is lit.

04. Flames do not extend the full length of the burner, or only run on one

side of the burner.

05. Burner ames are inconsistent.

BURNER FLAME

PATTERN

Your appliance’s burners are

designed to mix oxygen and

propane at a rate that allows for

optimal ames. Should the burn-

er’s holes, air gate, or venturi get

blocked, it will aect the propane

and air mixture, causing low or

inconsistent ames, or ames

coming from the air gate.

Healthy ames might have a few

ickers of yellow color

❶

dark blue color

tablespoons of your seasoning oil

across the griddle surface.

When seasoning your griddle top,

remember to use a thin and even layer

of oil—the thinner the layer of oil, the

easier it will be to burn it off.

Care & Maintenance

ENGLISH

! CAution

Customers in humid or

coastal climates may

require more frequent

seasonings and the use of

heavier cooking oils to avoid

rusting and corrosion.

WHY DO I NEED TO

SEASON MY GRIDDLE?

Seasoning leaves a hard protective

layer bonded to the steel surface.

• Natural stick resistance.

• Prevents rust and corrosion.

WHAT OIL IS BEST TO

USE?

The Blackstone Seasoning and

Cast iron Conditioner is the best

and easiest way to get consistent

results. This unique blend of oils

combines the best of many dierent

cooking oils.

Can I use any food grade oil?

Yes, but dierent oils can vary in the

process from the burn time, smoke

point, and durability once nished.

if you prefer to use an animal fat for

seasoning, only use rendered fat (pure

tallow, schmaltz, etc.) with no additives.

SYMPTOMS

01. Aer seasoning, the griddle surface is not black.

02. Food is sticking to the griddle surface.

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. Too much oil was used.

02. You turned o the heat too soon.

First, turn your griddle on high and let it

heat for 10-15 minutes.

Next, scrape o as much of the thick-

ened and partially cooked oil as you can.

Then, re-season with a very thin layer

of oil.

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. The corners and edges do not have

the same access to the direct heat

of the burners, making it harder for

the seasoning to darken like the

rest of the griddle top.

Apply a thin layer of oil between cooks

to maintain seasoned cooking surface.

(Please reference the Cleaning your

Griddle Top section.)

Aer using your griddle for multiple

cooks, the seasoning will even out and

improve.

FIRST TIME CLEANING

Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated

with cooking oil to prevent rust and

damage during shipping. For rst

time use, wash griddle with hot,

soapy water.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU

SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.

Rinse and dry completely. Proceed

with seasoning instructions. (Please

reference the Griddle Seasoning

Instructions section.)

PROTECTING YOUR

GRIDDLE TOP

Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-

tion. Always cover griddle if stored

outdoors. Choose from a variety of

griddle covers oered by Blackstone.

When protecting griddle with so

cover, use the “tenting” method to

prevent water from accumulating

on griddle top. “Tenting” involves

placing an object (a bowl, tennis

ball or PVC pipe) beneath so cover

in the center of griddle in order to

allow water to slide o. “Tenting”

helps prevent rust.

CUTTING ON THE

GRIDDLE TOP

Using a knife directly on the surface

of the griddle will not harm the

griddle top.

REMOVING RUST

If rust appears on the griddle surface,

rub it o with steel wool, low grit

sandpaper or the Blackstone

Pumice Stone and re-season

the surface.
