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.
