OWNER'S MANUAL TYTUS GRILLS

CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR GRIDDLE

WARNING: - Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses
when cleaning your grill.
- Turn off the gas supply at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing. To avoid the possibility of burns, cleaning and maintenance should be done only when the griddle is cool and off.
Keep your outdoor cooking area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Proper care and maintenance will keep your griddle in top condition and prolong its life.
Never use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers, or stiff wire brushes of any type on your grill. Use a heat resistant stainless steel cleaner and rub or wipe in the direction of the stainless steel grain or polish lines. Do not polish against the grain. Use a mild soapy solution for non-stainless steel parts.
GREASE CUP
To reduce the chance of fire, the grease collection cup should be inspected before each use. Remove grease (a plastic spatula works well) and wash the grease cup with a mild soap and warm water solution.
WARNlNG: Grease can get very hot. Always handle the grease tray with a flame retardant BBQ mitt. Before removing the cup, always be sure that the griddle has properly cooled. Be aware that the tray does contain grease and be extremely careful when removing the tray to prevent spillage. Failure to follow these instructions could cause serious bodily injury or property damage.

Burner tube
1. Turn all the control knobs to OFF. 2. Turn the propane tank valve off. 3. Detach the gas line from your griddle or propane tank. 4. Remove the cooking grates, flame tamers, and grease
trays from your grill. 5. Remove the cotter pin from the rear of each burner. 6. Carefully lift each burner up and away from the gas
valve orifice. 7. Clean the burner tubes with one of these three
cleaning methods: - Bend a stiff wire (a lightweight coat hanger works well) into
a small hook, then run the hook through the burner tube and inside the burner several times to remove any debris.
TIP: Routine cleaning to remove dirt, grease, and oils will help prevent discoloration.

EXTERIOR POWDER COATED SURFACES
Wipe your griddle down after each use. Use warm soapy water to cut the grease. Do not use oven cleaner, abrasive cleansers or abrasive cleaning pads on powder coated surfaces.
BURNER TUBES AND BURNER PORTS
To reduce the chance of a flashback fire you must clean the burner tubes before initial use, at least once a month in the summer and fall (whenever spiders are active in your area), and if your griddle has not been used for an extended period of time.

CONTINUED »

- Run a burner cleaning brush (or bottle brush with a flexible
handle) through the burner tube and inside the burner several times, removing any debris.
- Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube. The
forced air should blow debris through the burner and out the ports.
1. Use an air hose to force air through each burner tube. The forced air should blow debris through the burner and out the ports.
2. lnspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes). lf damage is found, order and install a new burner. After installation, make sure that the gas valves are correctly placed inside the ends of the burner tubes, and check the position of your spark electrode.

ANNUAL CLEANING
Use a cleaning brush to clean the interior griddle box, burners, and grease container. Never use a wire brush or metal scraper on the porcelain coated or powder coated parts as it can scratch or chip the finish and promote rusting. With the control knobs OFF, turn the propane tank valve off, and detach the gas line from your griddle to your propane tank. Remove and clean the burners, griddle plate, and grease cup. Gently clean the inside of the griddle burner box, taking care not to damage the gas valves. Replace the burners and griddle plate, before reconnecting the gas source, lighting the griddle, and observing the burner flame to make sure it is operating correctly.

WARNlNG: The location of the burner tube with respect to the orifice is vital for safe operation. Make sure that each gas valve is inside a burner tube before using your grill. lf the gas valve is not inside the burner tube, lighting the burner may cause an explosion or a fire.

WARNlNG: Accumulation of grease can cause a fire hazard.
- Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of griddle components unless cleaned regularly.

- lf you suspect an obstruction in the gas valves or manifold, call the TYTUS Customer Support at (855) 969-5185.
- Check for obstructions in the burner tubes. See "Burner Tubes and Burner Ports" (PAGE 22) for cleaning instructions.
- Make sure that the igniter is aligned correctly with the burner. The gap between the spark electrode tip and spark receiver should be approximately 3/16" wide. Adjust if necessary. With the gas supply closed and all control knobs set to OFF, press the electric igniter cap, and watch for the presence of a spark at the end of the electrode.
- lnspect the igniter junction box found behind the control panel. Connect loose electric wires to the junction box, and then try to light the griddle.
- If the griddle still does not light, you may need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device.
HOW DO I PURGE AIR FROM MY GAS LINE AND/OR RESET THE REGULATOR EXCESS GAS FLOW DEVICE?
See "Purging Air from the Gas Line/Reset the Regulator" (PAGE 21) for instructions.
CAN I CONVERT MY GRIDDLE FROM PROPANE TO NATURAL GAS?
Yes, Fresno Series models can be converted from propane to natural gas. Visit TYTUSGrills.com to learn more about our Natural Gas Conversion Kit.

WHY DOESN'T THE HOSE AND REGULATOR SUPPLIED WITH MY GRIDDLE FIT THE OLDER PROPANE TANK I'VE USED FOR YEARS?
U.S. Government regulates gas appliances and propane gas tanks. When regulations are changed, propane gas tank fittings are altered to ensure compliance. lf your propane gas tank does not fit the hose and regulator supplied with your new griddle, the tank is outdated and must be replaced.
NOTE: Effective April 1, 2002, all propane gas tanks sold must include an Overfill Protection Device (OPD). This internal device prevents the propane gas tank from being overfilled. Tanks without an OPD valve can not be refilled.
ARE THE SERIAL AND MODEL NUMBERS OF MY GRIDDLE LISTED SOMEWHERE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE?
The model and serial numbers are listed on a silver label on the main cart door.
WHAT CAUSES GRIDDLE PARTS TO RUST, AND WHAT EFFECT DOES IT HAVE ON MY GRILL?
Rusting is a natural oxidation process and will not affect the short-term performance of your griddle.
To slow the rusting process on cooking grids, grease the grates before and after each use. Use a brush to apply a thin layer of cooking oil or vegetable shortening onto each grate. We do not suggest spray-type oils unless they are specified for high-temperature cooking. lf your cooking grates are porcelain coated, be sure to coat the entire cooking surface, including the edges and any areas with chipped porcelain.
Routine care and maintenance is required to preserve the appearance and corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Stainless steel can corrode, rust, and discolor under certain conditions. Rust is caused when regular steel particles in the atmosphere become attached to the stainless steel surface. Steel particles can also become attached to your griddle if you use steel wool or stiff wire brushes to clean the griddle instead of non-abrasive cloth, sponge, or nylon cleaning tools. ln coastal areas, rust pits can develop on stainless surfaces that cannot be fully removed. Bleach and other chlorine-based solutions used for household and pool cleaning can also cause corrosion to stainless steel.
Weathering, extreme heat, smoke from cooking, and machine oils used in the manufacturing process of stainless steel can cause stainless steel to turn tan in color. Although there are many factors which can affect the surface appearances of stainless steel, they do not affect the integrity of the steel or the performance of the griddle. To help maintain the finish of your griddle, clean your griddle after each use.
WHY WON'T MY GRIDDLE LIGHT PROPERLY?
- Always light the burner farthest from the fuel source first. This draws gas across the manifold and helps prevent air pockets that obstruct gas flow.
- Check your propane gas supply. An empty propane gas tank weighs about 20 pounds. A full tank weighs about 40 pounds.
- Make sure that all gas connections are secure.
- Reposition the igniter.
- Make sure that the end of each burner tube is properly located over each gas valve orifice.
- There may be an obstruction in the gas line orifice. Remove the fuel line from the griddle. Open the gas supply for one

OWNER'S MANUAL TYTUS GRILLS

second to clear any obstruction from fuel line. Close off the gas supply at its source and reconnect fuel line to the griddle.
- lf an obstruction is suspected in the orifice or gas valves, call the TYTUS Support Center.
WARNING: Do not smoke while clearing the gas line.
WARNING: Always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your griddle.
Turn off the gas supply at the source and disconnect the unit before servicing. To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the griddle is cool and off.
- You need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. See "How do l purge air from my gas line and/or reset the regulator excess gas flow device?" (PAGE 21) for instructions.
- Opening the tank valve all the way or too quickly triggers the regulator's safety device to shut down gas flow, which prevents excessive gas flow to your griddle. Lighting the burner farthest from the fuel source every time will help eliminate air pockets in the manifold.
SOMETIMES I HEAR A HUMMING SOUND COMING FROM THE REGULATOR. WHAT CAUSES THIS?
The humming sound is gas flowing through the regulator. A low volume of sound is normal and will not interfere with the operation of your griddle. lf the humming sound is loud and excessive you need to purge air from the gas line or reset the regulator excess gas flow device. See "How do l purge air from my gas line and/or reset the regulator excess gas flow device?" (PAGE 33) for instructions.
HOW AND WHEN DO I CLEAN THE INTERIOR COOKING COMPONENTS OF MY GRILL?
See "Cleaning and Maintaining your Grill" (PAGE 21) for instructions on cleaning and maintaining your griddle.
WHAT CAUSES STEEL TO DISCOLOR?
Weathering, extreme heat, smoke from cooking, and machine oils used in the manufacturing process of steel can cause steel to turn tan in color. Although there are many factors which can affect the surface appearances of steel, they do not affect the integrity of the steel or the performance of the griddle. To help maintain the finish of steel, clean your griddle after each use.
IS IT NECESSARY TO USE A PROTECTIVE COVER ON MY GRILL?
To prevent premature rusting of your griddle and its components, cover your griddle when it is exposed to the elements. Always make sure that your griddle is completely dry before covering it to prevent moisture buildup.
When storing your griddle inside, do not cover your griddle with any type of cover as moisture will be trapped under the cover, causing premature rusting.
