SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
LEAK TEST PROCEDURE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although gas connections on the griddle are leak tested prior to shipment, we recommend conducting a leak test
after initial setup and every time an LP cylinder is attached. In addition, we recommend performing a leak test
once a year. If the unexpected smell of gas is detected at any time a full leak test should be performed.
1. Create a solution of 80% water and 20% liquid soap in a spray bottle.
2. Connect the LP cylinder to the product by following the steps in the earlier section “CONNECTING THE LP
CYLINDER”.
3. Turn the LP cylinder valve counterclockwise to open the valve.
4. Spray soapy water to all gas tting connection points focusing on areas where the regulator connects to the
propane tank, where the rubber gas line connects to the corrugated gas line, and where the corrugated line
connects to the valve manifold.
5. If a leak is discovered immediately turn the gas supply off and tighten any loose ttings.
6. Turn the gas back on and recheck.
7. If the leak continues turn off all gas and disconnect the LP cylinder. Contact our customer service team for
further assistance at 866-994-6390 or email [email protected].
WARNING: Check all gas supply ttings for leaks regularly. Do not use the Griddle until all connections have
been checked and do not leak. Do not smoke while leak testing. Never leak test with an open ame.
WARNING: The rubber seal on your propane tank valve may, over time, show marked and visible damage
or deterioration. If the seal has deteriorated a leak may occur even if the connection is tightened fully. Visual
inspection of the seal must be conducted every time a LP gas cylinder is attached to the griddle. If your LP-gas
cylinder shows signs of seal damage, including visible cracks, and pitting, you must return it to the propane tank
supplier.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GETTING STARTED- OPERATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OUTDOOR USE ONLY / NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED
1. Make sure the propane cylinder is tightly threaded into the regulator. Also check that the burner knob is in the
“OFF” position.
2. Slowly turn the propane cylinder counterclockwise to open it. It is important to open the rst half turn slowly to
ensure safety shut off mechanisms are not triggered in the regulator. After the rst half turn it is ok to open it
the rest of the way at normal ow.
3. Open the lid. Each burner is equipped with its own electronic ignitor. When you press in each knob, the ignitor
will begin to click, like how your kitchen stove works. Press and turn each burner knob counterclockwise until
HIGH is displayed.
4. If Ignition does not occur in 3-5 seconds, turn the burner knob off. Wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light
the burner. If a second attempt fails to ignite the burner, call our customer service team at 866-994-6390 for
assistance.
5. Burner will start in the HIGH position, adjust to desired power level by turning the knob counterclockwise.
6. Let the unit pre-heat for at least 10-15 minutes before beginning to cook.
7. To turn the appliance off rotate all burner knobs clockwise until the red indicator is pointing straight up, 12:00.
Visually inspect the burners to ensure there are no ames.
8. Close the LP cylinder valve by turning it clockwise until it stops.
FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• Visually check ames on the burner to ensure the gas is combusting effectively. Flames should be blue with a
lighter blue cone in the center. The ames should be in contact with the burner and all burner ports should be
lit. Some orange at the tips is OK but if more than half the ame is orange and appears lazy, there could be an
issue with the air supply.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO SEASON YOUR GRIDDLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A properly seasoned griddle surface creates a naturally non-stick cook top and helps prevent rusting.Season-
ing your griddle surface is essential for optimal performance and longevity. When you receive your griddle, it will
already have a thin layer of oil applied. This is to protect from rust during shipping.
1. Start by using warm soapy water and a towel to wash off the shipping oil.
2. Next, you’ll want to select a high smoke point oil.(e.g. Sunower Oil, Vegetable Oil, Soy Oil, Peanut Oil, Avo-
cado Oil)
3. Turn all burners on to HIGH and let the griddle heat for 10-15 minutes. The area above each burner on the
griddle surface will begin to darken. Once you see the darkened spots, turn the burners off.
4. Use paper towels to apply a thin coat of oil on the entire griddle surface with tongs or heat-resistant gloves to
avoid burning your hand. Turn on all burners to HIGH.
5. The oil will eventually begin to smoke. Leave it on HIGH until the smoke stops (about 15-20 mins). Once the
smoke is gone, you have passed the smoke point and can turn the burners off.
6. Repeat oil seasoning process 2-3 more times, until your griddle surface is a smooth, dark brown color.
28
CLEANING AND CARE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Griddle Plate
• After you’ve nished cooking, use a squeeze bottle to add water to the hot griddle surface to create steam to
help break up debris and scrape down the surface. Scrape all the residue and remaining water into the grease
trap.
• Turn the griddle off and let the surface cool. While it cools, remove and clean out the grease trap. Do this after
each use to ensure you have no spillovers the next time.
• When the surface is cool, apply a thin coat of oil over the entire surface to maintain your seasoning. Store
your griddle in a cool, dry place. If you’re storing outside, cover the griddle to prevent water collecting on the
surface. Griddles are very resilient and, if they rust, can easily be restored. Use a steel scouring pad to remove
all rust from the surface and follow the seasoning steps again.
Griddle Plate Warping
• Warping occurs when the griddle surface is exposed to extreme temperature changes. This typically happens
when too much cool water is applied to the hot surface for cleaning.
• The griddle surface is made from carbon-steel and will naturally expand and contract during heating cycles to
allow for thermal expansion.
• As your griddle surface becomes accustomed to the heat, you may experience some warping during one of
your rst uses.
• Warping is normal and is something that can happen with any brand of griddle your purchase.
• Not every griddle surface will warp, but those that do could warp up to 5 times or more.
• When the griddle surface warps, turn the burners back on (if they were previously turned off) and allow the
surface to re-heat. The surface should level again with 20-30 minutes.
• If your griddle surface warps more than 5 times, please reach out to our customer service department for
troubleshooting and assistance.
There are a few things you can do to help prevent your griddle surface from warping:
1. Do not excessively preheat your griddle surface before beginning to cook, especially if you are going to be
applying cold food to the surface.
2. Use a squeeze bottle to apply water for cleaning as needed. Do not add large amounts of water to the surface
while cleaning.
3. Do not add frozen food to the hot griddle surface
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
29
MAINTENANCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• There is very little care and maintenance needed for this Griddle which is designed and made of materials that
will last for many years with normal use.
• Following these instructions will improve the longevity and quality of cooking.
• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other ammable vapors and
liquids.
• Keep the ventilation opening(s) of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
• It is recommended to disassemble the burner and clean both inside and outside at least twice a year and
especially after long storage. Thoroughly dry the inside and outside of the burner before reassembly. A clogged
burner can lead to a re beneath the appliance.
• When Griddle is not in use, turn the control knob and the knob on the propane cylinder to the “OFF” position,
then detach the regulator from the propane cylinder
• Keep area adjacent to the burner box clear of debris and free of anything ammable or combustible.
• Non-rechargeable batteries are not to be recharged. Batteries are to be inserted with the correct polarity.
Exhausted batteries are to be removed from the product. DO NOT DISPOSE OF BATTERIES IN A FIRE.
BATTERIES MAY EXPLODE OR LEAK.
• The burner components are factory-adjusted for optimal combustion. Please do not attempt to adjust the
burner. It is preset to the factory specications.
General Care
• All painted and stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. We do not
recommend harsh scrubbers like steel wool on any of the surfaces as this can damage the paint and scratch
the stainless steel.
• Before each use ensure both grease cups are empty and clean. To easily clean the grease cups use our foil
liners (Item # CAP-6753 - Sold Separately) which can be disposed of when full. Two liners are provided with
this product and more can be purchased from our store. If not using a liner, use a paper towel and wipe out
any grease or debris into a garbage can.
• After the station is cool to the touch, we recommend using our weather resistant fabric cover to protect it from
the elements. For a perfect t use our custom t Griddle cover (Item # CGC–9224 – Sold Separately). Griddles
are very resilient and, if they rust, can easily be restored. Use a steel scouring pad to remove all rust from the
surface and follow the seasoning steps again.
