GRIDDLE SAFETY CHECK
FOR YOUR FAMILY’S SAFETY, PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING:
READ and UNDERSTAND the owner’s manual.
CHECK that the regulator nipple is centred into the LP cylinder valve. DO NOT cross thread this
connection. Cross threading may result in a fire or explosion at the tank connection.
PERFORM LEAK TEST on all connections as specified in this user manual. Leak checks should be
performed on all new griddles even if assembled by an assembler or gas technician. Leak checks should be
performed frequently thereafter.
DO NOT position or operate griddle under an overhang, or unprotected construction, against a wall, near
aluminum siding, windows or fencing.
INSPECT and CLEAN burner tubes to avoid flash fires caused by spider webs and other blockages. Inspect
gas jets to ensure they are correctly installed in burner tubes. NEVER LEAVE A LIT GRILL UNATTENDED.
BEFORE OPENING THE GAS SUPPLY, control knobs are in OFF position, gas is turned o, and the regulator
is attached to tank correctly. Then follow the PROPER LIGHTING PROCEDURE as shown in the manual. If
above steps are not followed, you may experience low flames, or other performance issues.
AVOID dangerous grease fires by performing regular cleaning and maintenance of interior casting, the grease
collection system, flame tamers and cooking grates.
Large yellow flames and the smell of gas indicate a blockage in the burner, usually a spider web. Remove the
burner and clear the obstruction.

It features a griddle top for various cooking methods and four burners for heat control. The griddle is intended for residential outdoor use only, in a well-ventilated area, and is not suitable for commercial cooking or use on boats or recreational vehicles. Its primary function is to provide a versatile cooking surface for grilling and other griddle-based preparations.

  • Construction: Must conform to US Department of Transportation (DOT) or National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339 specifications.
  • Valve Type: Must have a Shut-off valve with a Type 1 outlet, Safety relief valve, and a UL listed Overfill Protection Device (OPD) identified by a triangular hand wheel.
• Regulator: Pre-set to 2.74 kPa (11” water column) and equipped with a QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling system.
• Flow Limiting Device: Limits gas flow to 10 cubic feet per hour when activated.

• Not Convertible: The griddle is sold propane-ready and is not convertible to natural gas.

Usage Features:

• Outdoor Use Only: Designed exclusively for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas.
• Griddle Levelling: The griddle feet can be adjusted to ensure proper grease flow into the grease catch.
• QCC-1 Quick Closing Coupling System: Incorporates safety features for LP gas connection, ensuring gas flow only after a positive connection is made.
• Regulator Flow Limiting Device: A safety feature that limits gas flow in case of a leak or improper lighting, preventing dangerous fires. Instructions are provided for resetting this feature.
• Piezo Starter Ignition: Burners are ignited by pushing and turning the control knobs, activating a piezo starter for convenient lighting.
• Match-Lighting Option: Alternative method for lighting burners using a match or butane lighter through a dedicated lighting hole.
• Control Knobs: Allow for individual control of each burner's flame intensity, from OFF/"0" to MAX/"05".
• Grease Collection System: Includes a grease catch to collect cooking grease, which should be emptied after every use.
• Seasoning: The griddle top requires seasoning with oil to create a non-stick surface, prevent rust, and improve cooking performance. This involves applying multiple coats of oil and heating the griddle to its smoke point.
• Food Safety: The manual provides a table of AAFC (Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada) safe minimum internal temperatures for various foods to prevent food-borne illnesses.
• Hot Surface Warning: Shaded areas of the griddle become extremely hot during operation, and users are warned to avoid touching them to prevent burns.

Maintenance Features:

• Leak Testing: Mandatory leak tests must be performed after assembly, every time the LP cylinder is refilled or exchanged, or if gas components are disconnected/replaced, and at least once a year or after 60 days of disuse. A soap and water solution is used to detect leaks.
• Burner Flame Check: Regular inspection of burner flame patterns is crucial to ensure proper function. Flames should be 1" (2.5 cm) with orange tips, a light blue center, and a dark blue base on "MAX" setting.
• Flash-back Fire Prevention: Instructions are provided to prevent flash-back fires, which can occur due to blockages in venturi tubes. This includes inspecting and cleaning burner tubes and gas jets.
• Griddle Cleaning Tools: Recommended tools include protective gloves, cloth/paper towels, steel wool/grill stone, scraper, long-handle tongs, squeeze bottle of water, and squeeze bottle of oil.
• Griddle Top Cleaning: After each cook, debris should be scraped off, and a thin coat of oil applied to maintain seasoning and prevent rust. For hard-to-remove grease, warm water can be used.
• Rust Removal: If rust spots appear, the griddle top should be dampened with water and scrubbed with steel wool or a grill stone until rust is lifted, then rinsed and re-seasoned.
• Grease Catch Cleaning: The grease catch must be removed and cleaned after every use to prevent spillage and grease fires.
• Burner and Firebox Maintenance: Seasonal maintenance involves removing the griddle top to access and clean the burners. This includes using a flexible venturi brush to clear spider webs and nests, cleaning burner port holes with a wire or paper clip, and brushing away rust/corrosion.
• Valve Gas Jet Cleaning: Before reinstalling burners, a cotton swab should be used to clean the valve gas jet.
• Exterior Parts Cleaning: Routine cleaning of exterior surfaces with a vinegar and water solution or warm water and detergent is recommended to remove dirt and prevent damage. Abrasive or chloride-containing cleaners should be avoided.
• Storage: The griddle should be stored in a cool, dry location, preferably outdoors in a well-ventilated area if the LP cylinder is attached. The griddle top should be seasoned and protected, and the unit covered with a protective grill cover.
• Battery Disposal: Used batteries should be disposed of according to local regulations.
