bug shields, clean any spider webs, soot,
or debris off the bug shield. Clean any
other obstructions out of air gates.

BURNER FL AME
PAT TERN
Your griddle's burners are designed
to mix oxygen and propane at a
rate that allows for optimal flames.
Should the burner's holes, air
gate, or venturi get blocked, it will
affect the propane and air mixture,
causing low or inconsistent flames,
or flames coming from the air gate.
Healthy flames might have a few
flickers of yellow color ❶, then a
dark blue color ❷, followed by a
vibrant blue by the burner tube ❸.
