CORRECT PROPANE GAS TANK USE
- Propane gas griddle models are designed for use with
a standard 20 lb. Liquid Propane Gas (LP Gas) tank (sold
separately). Never connect your gas griddle to a propane gas
tank that exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12
inches in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size
propane gas tank to use. You must use an "OPD" gas tank
which oers a listed Overll Prevention Device. This safety
feature prevents the tank from being overlled which can
cause a malfunction of the LP Gas tank.
- The propane gas tank must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the Specications for LP-Gas Cylinders of
the U.S. Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) or the National
Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, Cylinders, Spheres
and Tubes for Transportation of Dangerous Goods; and
Commission, as applicable.
- The propane gas tank must have a shuto valve, terminating
in an propane gas supply tank valve outlet, that is compatible
with a Type 1 tank connection device.
- The propane gas tank must also have a safety relief device
that has a direct connection with the vapor space of the tank.
- The tank supply system must be arranged for vapor
withdrawal.
- The propane gas tank must have a collar to protect the tank
valve.
- Never connect an unregulated propane gas tank to your gas
griddle. The gas regulator assembly supplied with your gas
griddle is adjusted to have an outlet pressure of 11" water
column (W.C.) for connection to an propane gas tank. Only
use the regulator and hose assembly supplied with your gas
griddle. Any replacement hose and regulator assembly must
be identical to those listed in the parts list of this User Manual
as specied by the manufacturer.
- Have your propane gas dealer check the release valve after
every lling to ensure it remains free of defects.
- LP Tank valve must be closed when griddle is not in use. Close
by turning valve clockwise.
- Always keep the propane gas tank in the upright position.
- Do not subject the propane gas tank to excessive heat.
- Never store an propane gas tank indoors. lf you store your gas

rst and store it safely outside.
- Propane gas tanks must be stored outdoors in a well-
ventilated area and out of the reach of children.
- Disconnected propane gas tanks must not be stored in a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
- The regulator and hose assembly can be seen after opening
the right cabinet door and must be inspected before each
use of the griddle. lf there is excessive abrasion or wear or if
the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to using the griddle
again.
- Any attempt to convert the griddle from one fuel type to
another is extremely hazardous and must be performed by a
qualied gas technician only, using a natural gas conversion
kit purchased from TYTUS. Contact TYTUS Customer Support

Accumulation of grease can cause a re hazard.
- Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive
and will cause rapid deterioration of griddle
components unless cleaned regularly.
ANNUAL CLEANING
Use a cleaning brush to clean the interior griddle box,
burners, and grease container. Never use a wire brush or
metal scraper on the porcelain coated or powder coated
parts as it can scratch or chip the nish and promote
rusting. With the control knobs OFF, turn the propane
tank valve o, and detach the gas line from your griddle
to your propane tank. Remove and clean the burners,
griddle plate, and grease cup. Gently clean the inside of
the griddle burner box, taking care not to damage the
gas valves. Replace the burners and griddle plate, before
reconnecting the gas source, lighting the griddle, and
observing the burner ame to make sure it is operating
correctly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF MY GRIDDLE WON’T LIGHT?
- Turn the gas o at its source, then turn the control knobs OFF. Wait at least ve minutes for gas to clear, then
retry.
- Check your gas supply and connections.
- Repeat the lighting procedure. lf your griddle still fails to operate, turn the gas o at its source, turn the control
knobs to OFF, then check the following:
- The burner tubes may be misaligned with the orices. Reposition the burner tubes over the orices.
- There may be an obstruction in the gas line orice. Remove the fuel line from the griddle. Open the gas supply
for one second to clear any obstruction from the fuel line. Close o the gas supply at its source and reconnect
the fuel line to the griddle.
WARNING: Do not smoke while clearing the gas line
- Check for a plugged gas valve orice. Remove the cotter pin at the rear of each burner, then carefully lift each
burner up and away from the gas valve orice. Remove the orice from the gas valve, and gently clear any
obstruction with a ne wire. Reinstall all orices, burners, screws, and cooking components.
- lf you suspect an obstruction in the gas valves or manifold, call the TYTUS Customer Support
at (855) 969-5185.
- Check for obstructions in the burner tubes. See "Burner Tubes and Burner Ports" (PAGE 22) for cleaning
instructions.
- Make sure that the igniter is aligned correctly with the burner. The gap between the spark electrode tip and
spark receiver should be approximately 3/16" wide. Adjust if necessary. With the gas supply closed and all
control knobs set to OFF, press the electric igniter cap, and watch for the presence of a spark at the end of
the electrode.
- lnspect the igniter junction box found behind the control panel. Connect loose electric wires to the junction
box, and then try to light the griddle.
- If the griddle still does not light, you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas
ow device.

OWNER'S MANUAL
TYTUS GRILLS
WHY DOESN’T THE HOSE AND REGULATOR SUPPLIED WITH
MY GRIDDLE FIT THE OLDER PROPANE TANK I’VE USED FOR YEARS?
U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and propane gas tanks. When regulations are changed, propane gas tank
ttings are altered to ensure compliance. lf your propane gas tank does not t the hose and regulator supplied with
your new griddle, the tank is outdated and must be replaced.
NOTE: Eective April 1, 2002, all propane gas tanks sold must include an Overll
Protection Device (OPD). This internal device prevents the propane gas tank from
being overlled. Tanks without an OPD valve can not be relled.
ARE THE SERIAL AND MODEL NUMBERS OF MY
GRIDDLE LISTED SOMEWHERE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE?
The model and serial numbers are listed on a silver label on the main cart door.
WHAT CAUSES GRIDDLE PARTS TO RUST, AND WHAT EFFECT DOES IT HAVE ON MY GRILL?
Rusting is a natural oxidation process and will not aect the short-term performance of your griddle.
To slow the rusting process on cooking grids, grease the grates before and after each use. Use a brush to apply a
thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each grate. We do not suggest spray-type oils unless they are
specied for high-temperature cooking. lf your cooking grates are porcelain coated, be sure to coat the entire cooking
surface, including the edges and any areas with chipped porcelain.
Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless steel.
Stainless steel can corrode, rust, and discolor under certain conditions. Rust is caused when regular steel particles in
the atmosphere become attached to the stainless steel surface. Steel particles can also become attached to your
griddle if you use steel wool or sti wire brushes to clean the griddle instead of non-abrasive cloth, sponge, or nylon
cleaning tools. ln coastal areas, rust pits can develop on stainless surfaces that cannot be fully removed. Bleach and
other chlorine-based solutions used for household and pool cleaning can also cause corrosion to stainless steel.
Weathering, extreme heat, smoke from cooking, and machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless
steel can cause stainless steel to turn tan in color. Although there are many factors which can aect the surface
appearances of stainless steel, they do not aect the integrity of the steel or the performance of the griddle. To help
maintain the nish of your griddle, clean your griddle after each use.
WHY WON’T MY GRIDDLE LIGHT PROPERLY?
- Always light the burner farthest from the fuel source rst. This draws gas across the manifold and helps prevent air
pockets that obstruct gas ow.
- Check your propane gas supply. An empty propane gas tank weighs about 20 pounds. A full tank weighs about 40
pounds.
- Make sure that all gas connections are secure.
- Reposition the igniter.
- Make sure that the end of each burner tube is properly located over each gas valve orice.
- There may be an obstruction in the gas line orice. Remove the fuel line from the griddle. Open the gas supply for one
26
TM
WARNING: Do not smoke while clearing the gas line.
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your griddle.
Turn o the gas supply at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing. To avoid
the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the griddle is cool and o.
second to clear any obstruction from fuel line. Close o the gas supply at its source and reconnect fuel line
to the griddle.
- lf an obstruction is suspected in the orice or gas valves, call the TYTUS Support Center.
- You need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas ow device. See “How do l purge
air from my gas line and/or reset the regulator excess gas ow device?” (PAGE 21) for instructions.
- Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly triggers the regulator’s safety device to shut down gas
ow, which prevents excessive gas ow to your griddle. Lighting the burner farthest from the fuel source
every time will help eliminate air pockets in the manifold.
SOMETIMES I HEAR A HUMMING SOUND COMING
FROM THE REGULATOR. WHAT CAUSES THIS?
The humming sound is gas owing through the regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not
interfere with the operation of your griddle. lf the humming sound is loud and excessive you need to purge
air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas ow device. See “How do l purge air from my gas line
and/or reset the regulator excess gas ow device?” (PAGE 33) for instructions.
HOW AND WHEN DO I CLEAN THE INTERIOR COOKING COMPONENTS OF MY GRILL?
See “Cleaning and Maintaining your Grill” (PAGE 21) for instructions on cleaning and maintaining your
griddle.
WHAT CAUSES STEEL TO DISCOLOR?
Weathering, extreme heat, smoke from cooking, and machine oils used in the manufacturing process of
steel can cause steel to turn tan in color. Although there are many factors which can aect the surface
appearances of steel, they do not aect the integrity of the steel or the performance of the griddle. To help
maintain the nish of steel, clean your griddle after each use.
IS IT NECESSARY TO USE A PROTECTIVE COVER ON MY GRILL?
To prevent premature rusting of your griddle and its components, cover your griddle when it is exposed to
the elements. Always make sure that your griddle is completely dry before covering it to prevent moisture
buildup.
When storing your griddle inside, do not cover your griddle with any type of cover as moisture will be
trapped under the cover, causing premature rusting.
