Setup
1. Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials. Inspect the griddle for any damage during transit. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
2. Placement
Place the griddle on a flat, stable, and heat-resistant surface outdoors. Ensure there is adequate clearance from combustible materials (walls, furniture, etc.).
3. Gas Connection
Connect the griddle to a suitable gas supply (e.g., propane tank) using a certified gas hose and regulator (not included). Ensure all connections are tight. Perform a leak test by applying a soapy water solution to all gas connections. Bubbles indicate a leak. If a leak is detected, turn off the gas supply immediately and tighten connections or replace faulty parts.
4. Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wipe down the enameled cast iron plate with a damp cloth to remove any manufacturing residues. Dry thoroughly.
Operating
1. Ignition
- Ensure the gas supply is open.
- Push in and turn a control knob counter-clockwise to the HIGH position.
- Press the ignition button (if available) or use a long lighter to ignite the burner.
- Once lit, release the control knob. Repeat for the second burner if desired.
2. Temperature Control
Adjust the control knobs between HIGH and LOW settings to achieve the desired cooking temperature. The enameled cast iron plate retains heat very well, allowing for consistent cooking.
3. Cooking Tips
- Preheat the griddle for 5-10 minutes before adding food for even cooking.
- Use a small amount of cooking oil on the griddle surface.
- The griddle is ideal for cooking a variety of foods, including meats, vegetables, eggs, and pancakes.

4. Shutting Down
When finished cooking, turn the control knobs to the OFF position. Close the gas supply valve on the gas tank.
Maintenance
1. Daily Cleaning
- After each use, while the griddle is still warm (but not hot), scrape off food residues using a griddle scraper.
- Wipe the surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn residues, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly.
- Empty and clean the grease collection tray regularly.
2. Deep Cleaning
Periodically, perform a deeper clean. Ensure the griddle is completely cool and the gas supply is disconnected. Clean the stainless steel body with a non-abrasive cleaner designed for stainless steel. The enameled cast iron plate is not dishwasher safe.
3. Storage
Store the griddle in a dry, protected area when not in use, especially during colder months, to prevent damage from elements. Consider using a protective cover.
