To check the amount of fuel in the LP gas cylinder, the griddle must be in operation. Place your hand at the top of the tank
and slowly move down the side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the approximate amount of gas in your
tank; if ¾ empty, replace with full tank.
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with your griddle. Use of such material will
void your warranty and may lead to a fire, explosion, and bodily harm.
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance
tips to service your griddle:
Burner Components
•
Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there
are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube or in the
burner portholes (A). After periods of storage, spiders or small insects
can build nests, webs, and lay eggs in the burner tube, obstructing the
flow of gas to the burner. If storing the griddle or before an extended
period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap with aluminum foil to
reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes.
•
The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue
flame, possibly with a small yellow tip, is the result of the optimal air
and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange, or irregular,
clean the oil and food deposits on the burner surface and the burner
portholes to increase airflow.
Griddle Surface
•
Your griddle comes preseasoned from the factory, but it is important
to clean and season your griddle after each use to prevent rust, extend
the life of your griddle, and create a non-stick cooking surface. The
seasoning of your griddle is a continuous process that must be repeated
over the life of your griddle to ensure the best cooking experience and
longest life for your griddle.
1.
Clean the griddle after each use, using a spatula or scraper to remove
all food and debris from cooking surface.
2. Liberally apply an even coat of cooking oil to the cooking surface.
Vegetable, olive, peanut, coconut, and sesame oils are all suitable
for seasoning your griddle.
3. Turn the griddle off, and allow to cool in a cool, dry location.
•
Remove any food or build-up from the cooking surface. Best practice
is to do this while it is still warm from a previous cook (B). Grease fires
are caused by too much fallen debris on the cooking components of
the griddle. Clean the inside of your griddle on a consistent basis. In the
event you experience a grease fire, carefully remove the food, turn the
griddle off. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available.
•
Check your grease cup often, and clean out as necessary. Keep in mind
the type of foods that are cooked (C).
