Cooking surfaces: If a bristle brush is used
to clean any of the griddle cooking surfaces,
ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking
surfaces prior to grilling.
Storing Your Griddle
• Clean cooking grates.
• Store in dry location.
• When an LP cylinder is connected to griddle,
store outdoors in a well-ventilated space and
out of reach of children.
• Cover griddle if stored outdoors. Choose
from a variety of griddle covers offered by
manufacturers.
• Store grill indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is
turned off and disconnected, removed from
griddle and stored outdoors.
• When removing griddle from storage, follow
"Cleaning the Burner Assembly" instructions
before starting griddle.
Cleaning the Burner Assembly
Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace
parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble
igniting griddle.
•
Turn gas OFF at the control knobs and
LP cylinder.
•
Remove cooking grates and flame tamers.
•
Remove carryover tubes and burners.
•
Detach electrode from burner.
NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will
depend on the burner configuration.
•
Carefully lift each burner up and away from
valve openings. We suggest three ways to
clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest
for you. (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight
coat hanger works well) into a small hook.
Run the hook through each burner tube
several times.(B) Use a narrow bottle brush
with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire
brush), run the brush through each burner
tube several times.(C) Wear eye protection:
Use an air hose to force air into the burner
tube and out the burner ports. Check each
port to make sure air comes out each hole.
•
Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to
remove food residue and dirt.
•
Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such
as an open paper clip.
•
Check burner for damage, due to normal wear
and corrosion some holes may become
enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are
found replace burner. VERY IMPORTANT:
Burner tubes must reengage valve openings.
•
Attach electrode to burner.
•
Carefully replace burners.
•
Attach burners to brackets on firebox.
•
Reposition carryover tubes and attach to
burners. Replace flame tamers and
cooking grates.
Food Safety
Food safety is a very important part of enjoying
the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food
safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four
basic steps:
• Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces
with hot soapy water before and after
handling raw meat and poultry.
• Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry
from ready-to eat foods to avoid cross
contamination. Use a clean platter and
utensils when removing cooked foods.
• Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to
kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure
proper internal food temperatures.
• Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and
leftovers promptly. For more information Visit
