1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the proper use and maintenance of your Blackstone 36-inch Griddle Cover. Designed to protect your griddle from various outdoor elements, this heavy-duty cover ensures the longevity and cleanliness of your cooking station. Proper installation and care will help maintain its effectiveness and appearance.
2. Setup and Installation
The Blackstone 36-inch Griddle Cover is designed for easy installation and removal. Follow these steps to properly cover your griddle:
- Ensure Griddle is Cool: Before placing the cover, ensure your Blackstone griddle is completely cool to prevent damage to the cover material.
- Position the Cover: Carefully drape the cover over your 36-inch Blackstone griddle, ensuring it fully covers the cooking surface and side shelves. The cover is designed to fit both griddles with counter-height shelves and low shelves.
- Secure with Buckles: Locate the durable poly-resin buckles on the underside of the cover. Fasten these buckles beneath the griddle base. This secures the cover and prevents it from blowing off in windy conditions.
3. Operating (Usage)
Using your griddle cover is straightforward:
- Applying the Cover: Simply place the cover over your griddle from one end, pulling it smoothly over the entire unit. The flexible material allows for easy maneuvering.
- Removing the Cover: Unfasten the buckles and lift the cover off the griddle. Fold or roll the cover for compact storage when not in use.
4. Maintenance
To ensure your Blackstone Griddle Cover remains effective and extends the life of your griddle, regular maintenance is recommended:
- Cleaning: Any dirt, dust, or debris can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth. For more stubborn stains or bird droppings, the cover can be rinsed with a hose. Allow it to air dry completely before storing or reapplying to the griddle.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cover for any signs of wear, tears, or damage, especially around the seams and buckles. While the cover features double-layered canvas and reinforced corners for durability, extreme weather conditions can cause wear over time.
5. Troubleshooting
- Cover does not fit properly: Ensure your griddle is a 36-inch Blackstone model. The cover is designed to accommodate side shelves, whether they are up or down. Adjust the cover's position to ensure an even fit.
- Cover blows off in wind: Verify that all poly-resin buckles are securely fastened beneath the griddle base. Tighten the straps as needed to create a snug fit around the griddle.
- Water pooling on top: While the cover is water-resistant, prolonged heavy rain can sometimes lead to minor water pooling. Ensure the cover is stretched tautly over the griddle to allow water to run off. Consider placing an object (like an inverted bowl) under the cover on the griddle surface to create a peak, promoting water runoff.
