Initial Heat-Up and Seasoning:

After assembly and propane connection, turn on the griddle and allow it to heat up for approximately one to two minutes. The hot-rolled steel surface benefits from a seasoning process, which creates a natural non-stick layer and enhances rust resistance. This process involves applying a thin layer of cooking oil and heating the surface until it smokes, then repeating several times.

Ignition and Temperature Control:

• Ensure the propane tank valve is fully open.
• Turn the control knobs to the 'HIGH' position and press the electronic ignition button to light the burners.

Cleaning the Griddle Surface:

General Care:

• The griddle's metal components are treated to resist rust, making it suitable for outdoor storage. However, using a griddle cover is recommended for prolonged protection from elements.
• Periodically check gas connections for any signs of wear or leaks.
• Clean the exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Nexgrill Daytona griddle, refer to the following common solutions:

• Burners not lighting: Check propane tank level, ensure gas line is properly connected, and verify the electronic ignition is functioning (listen for a clicking sound). Clean burner ports if clogged.
• Uneven heating: Ensure the griddle surface is properly seated. Allow sufficient preheating time for even heat distribution across the hot-rolled steel surface.
• Griddle surface not level: Check the griddle's placement on its frame. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Rusting: While the metal is treated, proper seasoning and regular oiling are crucial for preventing rust. Ensure the griddle is dry before storage.
