Griddle grill instructions

1.) Prep grill

  • Remove grill cover and set to the side, a safe distance from the grill.

  • Ensure all gas burner control valves are in the off position.

  • Check the grease trap (located below the burners), empty out if needed.

2.) Ignite grill

  • Open lid during lighting or re-lighting.

  • Turn ON propane gas tank by turning knob clockwise.

  • To ignite, push and turn IGNITION BURNER knob to HIGH. Immediately, push and hold ELECTRONIC IGNITOR button until the burner lights.

  • If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner controls off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.

  • To ignite remaining burners, push and turn knob to the HIGH position starting with the burners closest to the IGNITION BURNER first.

  • Heat grill for 5 minutes, then adjust burners to desired temperature.

3.) Cooking on the grill

  • Once grill is up to temperature, use oil on the surface and place food directly on the griddle.

  • Use metal spatulas, tongs, or grill tools designed for griddle surfaces (can be found in the kitchen drawers by the sink).​

  • Manage grease by directing it to the grease trap/cup. Monitor the cup to avoid overflow.​

  • For safety, keep handles of cookware away from burner flames and children.

4.) Shutting down and cleaning

  • After cooking, turn burner knobs to “OFF” and close the propane tank valve by turning the knob counter clockwise.​​

  • Let the griddle cool slightly, but clean while still warm for easiest removal of food residue.​​ Do NOT use soap on the griddle to clean.

  • Scrape excess food/debris into the grease trap with a scraper.

  • Use a paper towel to wipe excess oil and debris from the warm surface.

  • For more stubborn spots, use water sparingly and steam-clean with a spatula (never use soap, as it can remove seasoning).​​

  • Empty the grease trap into the trash can and wash it separately.

  • Cover the griddle once fully cool and store propane tank.

Safety reminders

  • When grill is not in use, turn off all control knobs and propane tank.

  • Never move grill while in operation or still hot.

  • Some surfaces will be hot during use.

  • Use long-handled barbecue utensils and oven mitts to avoid burns and splatters.

  • Maximum load for each side shelf is 10 lbs.

  • The grease tray or cup must be installed during use and emptied after each use.

  • Do not remove grease tray or cup until grill has completely cooled.

  • Clean after each cookout.
