CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL GRIDDLE SAFETY TIPS
Keep area around the griddle free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapours
and liquids.
1. ALWAYS turn controls and gas source or tank “OFF” when not in use.
2. Do not leave griddle unattended at any time while in operation.
3. If the griddle surface and components have not been regularly maintained or safely checked, take extreme
caution at first lighting, during preheat, and when cooking at high temperatures.
4. Never move the griddle while in operation or still hot.
5. All surfaces in and around the griddle can become HOT to the touch. Keep children and pets away. Do not
allow people to congregate around the griddle station. Always use long-handled barbecue utensils and
grilling gloves to avoid burns and protect from grease splatters.
6. Do not overload side shelves (load capacity 10 lb/4.5 kg).
7. The grease catch must be in position before cooking.
8. Always empty the grease catch after every cook. Do not remove the grease catch until it has completely
cooled.
9. Clean griddle often, preferably after each cook.
10. If you notice grease dripping from the griddle, wait until cool and adjust the level of your griddle top to
ensure that grease flows correctly into the grease catch.
11. Perform a leak test every time you change your LP cylinder.
12. Inspect your griddle’s hose and regulator for any cracks, tears or damage caused by rodents. If unsure,
perform a leak test to ensure your family’s safety.
13. If the regulator frosts, turn the controls to OFF/“0”, and close the LP cylinder valve. This indicates a
problem with the cylinder and it should not be used. Return to your propane supplier.
14. Never position any flammable or temperature sensitive items on the side shelf or close to the griddle
surface, as they may overheat and result in an explosion, fire, burns, severe personal injury, or death.
15. Do not use water on a fire. If a fire develops, and it is safe to do so, turn the LP cylinder o and disconnect
it. Wait for the fire to go out before turning the control knobs to OFF/“0”.
