Overview

The Pit Boss 757GD is a portable gas griddle designed for outdoor and household use, not for commercial purposes. This appliance is intended for cooking and grilling a variety of foods, offering a versatile outdoor cooking experience. It is crucial to read and understand the entire manual before attempting to assemble, operate, or install the product to ensure safe and enjoyable use.

Function Description:

The Pit Boss 757GD functions as an outdoor cooking appliance that uses liquid propane gas to heat a griddle surface. It is equipped with multiple burners, allowing for different temperature zones across the cooking surface, which is ideal for preparing various dishes simultaneously. The griddle is designed to be portable, featuring a collapsible cart for easy storage and transportation. It includes side shelves for food preparation and holding, a grease cup for easy cleaning, and control knobs for adjusting burner intensity. The unit is designed to be used with a standard 20 lb (9 kg) liquid propane gas tank.

Usage Features:

  • Portability: The griddle features a collapsible cart design, making it easy to fold down for storage and transport. This is achieved by folding in the gas cylinder bracket, side shelves, and collapsing the cart legs.
  • Cooking Surface: The griddle provides a large cooking area, suitable for various cooking tasks, from breakfast items to full meals. The multiple burners allow for precise temperature control across different sections of the griddle.
  • Side Shelves: Integrated side shelves offer convenient space for food preparation, holding utensils, or keeping ingredients close at hand while cooking. These shelves can be expanded for use and folded in for storage.
  • Grease Management: A dedicated grease cup is included to collect hot grease and debris, preventing fire hazards and simplifying cleanup. It is important to ensure the grease cup is always installed during operation.
  • Ignition System: The griddle features an igniter for easy startup. Users push and hold a control knob while turning it to the HIGH position to spark the igniter and light the burner. Manual lighting is also an option using a lighting rod if the igniter fails.
  • Temperature Control: Each burner is controlled by a dedicated knob, allowing users to adjust the flame intensity and, consequently, the cooking temperature. This enables versatile cooking, from high-heat searing to low-temperature simmering.
  • Safety Features: The design incorporates several safety measures, such as a regulator knob that pops out when the LP gas tank valve is closed, ensuring gas flow is stopped. Warnings are provided against using the appliance indoors, in enclosed spaces, or as a heater, and against storing LP gas cylinders near the unit.
  • Gas Cylinder Connection: The griddle is designed for easy connection and disconnection of a 20 lb (9 kg) LP gas tank. Instructions emphasize hand-tightening connections and performing leak tests to ensure safety.
  • Outdoor Use: The appliance is specifically designed for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas, with recommended clearances from combustible materials to prevent fires.

Maintenance Features:

  • Burn-Off Procedure: Before initial use with food, a "burn-off" procedure is recommended. This involves operating the griddle on HIGH for at least 15 minutes to "heat clean" internal components, dissipate odors, and remove any foreign matter.
  • Regular Cleaning: The manual provides a detailed cleaning schedule for various components. The cooking surface should be cleaned and seasoned after each use to prevent rust, extend its life, and maintain a non-stick surface. This involves using a spatula or scraper to remove food debris and applying cooking oil.
  • Grease Cup Maintenance: The grease cup should be checked and emptied regularly, especially after cooking greasy foods, to prevent grease fires.
  • Burner Maintenance: Burner components, including burner tubes and portholes, should be cleaned every 5-6 uses to prevent blockages from debris or insects. This ensures optimal flame performance and airflow. If storing the griddle for an extended period, removing and wrapping the burner with aluminum foil is recommended to deter insects.
  • Leak Testing: A leak test is a critical safety procedure that should be performed at least once a season, every time the gas cylinder is changed, after travel, or after prolonged storage. This involves applying a soapy water solution to gas connections and visually inspecting for bubbles, which indicate a leak.
  • Regulator Inspection: The gas regulator should be cleaned and inspected before each use. If there is evidence of excessive abrasion or wear, the regulator should be replaced. Only the factory-supplied regulator assembly should be used.
  • Storage: For long-term storage or when not in use, the griddle should be kept under a cover in a garage or shed, with the gas cylinder removed and stored outdoors. The collapsible design aids in compact storage.
  • Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to help users address common operational problems, such as burners not lighting, grease fires, low heat, or gas leaks. This section provides causes and solutions for various issues.
  • Replacement Parts: Information on ordering replacement parts is provided, encouraging users to contact their local dealer or visit the manufacturer's website. Proof of purchase is required for warranty claims.
