protective caps on the regulator valve opening and the top of the gas cylinder for storage (if not empty).
NOTE: If storing the griddle indoors, leave the gas cylinder outdoors.

cause a gas leak, possibly resulting in an explosion, fire, or severe bodily harm. Disconnect gas cylinder first before
travel or storage.
1. WHERE TO SET-UP THE GRIDDLE
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your griddle and the cooking
time needed to perfect your meals. All Pit Boss® Grills units should keep a minimum clearance of 1,270 mm (50 inches) from
combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the griddle is operational. This clearance must be
maintained while the griddle is operational. This appliance must not be placed under overhead combustible ceiling or
overhang. Keep your griddle in an area clear from combustible materials, or other flammable vapors and liquids.
2. COLD WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of
grilled foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your griddle throughout the
cooler months:
• Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move
your griddle to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your
griddle in relation to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and
get it done!
• To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a
log or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the
road to help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
• Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
3. HOT WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your
griddle throughout the hot months:
• Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps in preventing your meat
from over cooking and drying out.
• You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil, and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up
newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.
