IMPORTANT NOTES
BE MINDFUL OF WIND
DIRECTION
When selecting a suitable location, consider
important factors such as exposure to the wind and
foot traffic paerns. Position your Griddle Pro so the
prevailing wind blows into the front control panel
(at your back when operating), allowing for proper
front to rear airflow. Griddle Pros located in areas
with prevailing winds should be protected by a wind
barrier, wind deflector, or wind guard. The Griddle Pro
is designed to pull in air from the front and exhaust
through the rear of the unit. Winds hiing the back of
the Griddle Pro directly may cause problems.
GAS LINE LENGTH
Keep all gas supply lines as short as possible. Gas
lines lose pressure over distance and with each elbow
or “t” fiing added. This drop in pressure affects
Griddle Pro performance.
PROPER LEVELING
PROPER LEVELING DURING INSTALLATION IS
CRITICAL. A Griddle Pro THAT IS OUT OF LEVEL
WILL CAUSE ERRATIC BURNER COMBUSTION
AND INEFFICIENT, UNEVEN HEATING. THE Griddle
Pro SHOULD BE LEVEL IN ALL DIRECTIONS.
ADJUSTMENTS MAY NEED TO BE MADE EACH TIME
WHEN MOVING A FREESTANDING UNIT.
CONSTRUCTION ZONES
Keep all stainless steel products away from
construction zones. Construction debris such as (but
not limited to) stone dust, stucco, and lime dust
could damage or permanently discolor stainless
steel products. Keep all caustic chemicals including
chlorine and pool cleaning products away from
stainless steel at all times.

LIQUID PROPANE
INSTALLATION NOTE:
Ventilation is required in the enclosure on opposite sides
to create cross-ventilation. Liquid propane is heavier than
natural gas and vents should be located near the boom
of the enclosure.
LP gas Griddle Pro models are designed for use with a
standard 20 lb. liquid propane gas (LP) tank with type (1)
valve connections. (Not included)
Never connect your gas Griddle Pro to an LP tank that
exceeds this capacity. A tank of approximately 12 inches
in diameter by 18-1/2 inches high is the maximum size
LP gas tank to use. A propane tank with an OPD (Overfill
Prevention Device) must be used. This safety feature
prevents the tank from being over-filled which can
cause malfunction of the LP gas tank, regulator and/
or Griddle Pro. The LP cylinder must be constructed
and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP
gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation
(DOT) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Be
sure to read and follow all LP connection instructions.
A dented or rusty LP cylinder may be hazardous and
should be avoided. If in doubt, have it checked by your
LP supplier. Always check for leaks aer every LP cylinder
change. (See Checking For Leaks)
Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated
area out of the reach of children. If your Griddle Pro
is stored in an enclosed space, the LP cylinder must
be stored outside, in upright position and away from
excessive heat.
CONNECTING TO A
SIDE BURNER
You will need a ‘T’ adapter fiing (not provided) or
similar connection to connect a single gas line to both
a side burner and a Griddle Pro. We recommend a
licensed gas technician install all gas lines. See below
figure for installation of a ‘T’ adapter.
GAS SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
WARNING!
Before lighting the burners, inspect the gas
supply piping or hose. If there is evidence of
cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior
to use. Always keep your face and body as far
away from the Griddle Pro as possible when
lighting.
All installation and all installation parts must
conform to local codes with the National
Electrical Code, ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 70 latest
edition and the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 in the U.S. and CGA-B149.1/.2

2. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAME
3. MAKE SURE THE COVER IS NOT
PLACED OVER THE BURNER
4. IF GAS SMELL CONTINUES, KEEP
AWAY FROM THE APPLIANCE AND
IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS
SUPPLIER OR FIRE DEPARTMENT.
WARNING!
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, or CAN/CGA-B149.1, Natural
Gas Installation Code or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Propane

1. 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).
2. 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 Pro is factory built for natural gas,
the regulator (If included) needs to be set for 4” water
column. The regulator is convertible later to 10” water
column for system LP application. Do not use with a 20-
lb LP cylinder unless the Griddle Pro is converted. Make
sure that the regulator is set for natural gas. To check,
remove the top cap. You will find the conversion plastic
pin aached to the cap on the underside of the cap. If
the disc (1/2 in. 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” water column.
Do not use any replacement regulator other than
that specified by RCS. Use only pipe sealants that are
approved for use with natural and LP gases. An installer-
supplied gas Shutoff valve must be installed in an

from the front of the burner. This dangerous “condition”
can cause a fire behind the valve panel, damaging
the Griddle Pro and making the Griddle Pro unsafe to
operate. Inspect the burners once a year or if the Griddle
Pro has not been used for more than one month or if
any of the following conditions occur:
1. The smell of gas in conjunction with the burner
flames appearing yellow.
2. The Griddle Pro does not reach temperature.
3. The Griddle Pro heats unevenly.
4. The Griddle Pro makes popping noises.
STAINLESS STEEL
MAINTENANCE
The Griddle Pro is made of stainless steel construction.
Never clean the stainless steel when it is hot. Aer the
initial cooking use, certain areas of the Griddle Pro may
discolor. This is a normal discoloration caused by the
internal heat given off by the burner. Specks of grease
can gather on the surface of the stainless steel and
get baked-on. These can be removed by using a mild
abrasive pad (like Scotch Brite) with a stainless steel
cleaner. Use the mildest cleaner and always scrub in the
direction of the grain.
Do not use steel wool to clean the Griddle Pro.
Do not use abrasives on the polished highlights.
Be extra careful when cleaning around the highlights.
Metal polisher or mild chrome cleaner can be used to
bring back the luster on highlights. To touch-up minor
scratches in the stainless steel, sand the affected surface
very lightly, with 100-dry grit emery sandpaper in the
direction of the grain.
GRIDDLE PRO COOKING
SURFACE MAINTENANCE
The easiest way to clean the cooking surface is to scrub
it with a barbecue brush immediately aer cooking is
completed and the flame is turned off.
Wear a heat protective barbecue mi to protect your
hands from the heat and steam. Dip a brass bristle
barbecue brush in tap water and scrub the hot cooking
surface. Dip the brush frequently in tap water. Steam,
created as water comes in contact with the hot Griddle
Pro, helps loosen food particles stuck in the Griddle Pro.
Cleaning of the Griddle Pro would be longer and more
difficult if the Griddle Pro cooking surface is allowed to
cool before cleaning.
BURNERS CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
Burners are made of heavy gauge stainless steel and can
be cleaned using a bristle brush, warm water and soap.
Check every port hole for clogs. Use a wire pin to clean
out clogged ports. Make sure the burner is dry before
installing it back to the Griddle Pro.
DRIP PAN
The drip pan collects grease, liquid and fallen food
particles. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before
cleaning. Slide the pan out and wipe it clean. Make sure
the drip pan is fully inserted back into the Griddle Pro. It
is highly recommended to clean the pan aer every use
to avoid any possibility of a grease fire. DO NOT use the
Griddle Pro without the drip pan pushed all the way to
the back of the Griddle Pro unit.
