First Use and Seasoning

Before using your new flat top grill for the first time, it is crucial to properly clean and season the griddle surface. This process creates a non-stick layer and protects the griddle from rust.

Seasoning Steps:

1. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, clean the griddle surface thoroughly with a mild cleanser and water. Rinse well and dry.
2. Light Griddle: Turn on the burners to a low or high setting for 15 minutes to burn off any manufacturing residues.
3. Turn Off: Turn off the griddle and allow it to cool until it is still slightly warm to the touch.
4. Wipe Clean: Wipe off the griddle surface, including inner and outer walls, with paper towels until clean. Note: While drying, you may notice some discoloration on the towel; this is normal.
5. Apply Oil: Apply a thin, even coat of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil, flaxseed oil) onto the griddle surface and its inner/outer walls using rolled-up paper towels.
6. Repeat: Repeat the lighting, cooling, wiping, and oiling process at least twice, or until the griddle develops a dark, even, non-stick surface.

Operating Instructions

Lighting the Burners:

1. Read Instructions: Always read the lighting instructions printed on the grill before lighting.
2. Ensure Knobs Off: Make sure all gas knobs are in the "OFF" position.
3. Turn On Gas Supply: Open the valve on your propane tank to supply gas to the grill.
4. Ignite Burner: Push and turn the control knob for the desired burner to the "HIGH" position. A clicking sound will indicate that the igniter has been activated.
5. Verify Ignition: Look for a flame. If the burner has not lit, turn the knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes, and repeat step 4.

Adjusting Heat:

Once lit, you can adjust the heat output of each burner independently by turning its control knob between "LOW" and "HIGH" settings. This allows for precise temperature control across the griddle surface for various cooking needs.

Turning Off the Grill:

1. Turn all burner control knobs to the "OFF" position.
2. Close the valve on the propane tank to shut off the gas supply.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your grill and ensure optimal performance. Always allow the grill to cool before cleaning.

After Each Use:

1. Scrape Residue: While the griddle is still warm, gently scrape off all food residue with a griddle scraper.
2. Wipe Surface: Wipe down the griddle surface, inner and outer walls with a towel or paper towels.
3. Clean Grease Tray: The push-pull grease tray is designed for quick cleanup. Remove, empty, and clean it after each use.
4. For Stubborn Food Residue:
   • Light the griddle per the "Lighting" section.
   • Apply cooking oil onto the griddle surface.
   • Allow the oil to "boil" food residue off.
   • Repeat steps 1 through 3 of "After Each Use".
5. Re-season (if needed): If the griddle surface appears dry or food starts sticking, repeat the seasoning process described in the "First Use and Seasoning" section.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your grill.

Common Issues:

• Igniter Not Working:

  The grill's igniter system does not require batteries. If the igniter is not producing a spark, ensure the gas supply is on and the control knob is fully depressed and turned to the "HIGH" position. If the issue persists, contact customer support.

• Griddle Discoloration:

  It is normal for the griddle surface to show some discoloration after heating and seasoning. This is part of the seasoning process and does not affect performance.

• Food Sticking to Griddle:

  This indicates insufficient seasoning. Re-season the griddle surface by repeating the steps in the "First Use and Seasoning" section.
