5. Operating Instructions

Before first use, season the cooking plate according to manufacturer recommendations (typically by heating and applying a thin layer of cooking oil).

5.1. Lighting the Burner

1. Ensure the LP gas cylinder valve is fully open.
2. Push in and slowly turn the control knob to the "HIGH" position.
3. The igniter should spark and light the burner. If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the control knob to "OFF", wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, and repeat the lighting procedure.
4. Once lit, adjust the control knob to the desired heat setting (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH).

5.2. Preheating

For best cooking results, preheat the griddle/grill combo for 5-10 minutes on a medium-high setting before placing food on the cooking surface. This ensures even heat distribution across the steel porcelain plate.

  • Empty and clean the grease cup.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe down exterior surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Burner Maintenance: Periodically check the burner ports for blockages (e.g., spider webs, food debris). Clean with a wire brush or compressed air if necessary.
