RESOLVING BURNER ISSUES

Flash-Back Fires

A flash-back fire occurs when a blockage in the venturi tubes caused by spiders, insects, and nests block the flow of gas, forcing it back towards the control panel and control knob. The ignited gas, if not detected, can cause a fire to burn in this area. If you experience any of the characteristics of a flash-back fire, close the LP cylinder shut -off immediately. Follow the burner cleaning procedure outlined in the maintenance section of this manual.

Characteristics of A Flash-Back Fire

• A fire burning between the burner box and control panel, usually accompanied by HOT OR

MELTING CONTROL KNOBS.

• Burners may burn with LARGE YELLOW FLAMES.

• Burners may not light.

Prevent Flash-Back Fire

1. After lighting, check for normal burner flames.

2. If irregular flames are found, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners, to remove blockages.

3. If knobs appear hot, shut down immediately, and perform maintenance on burners, to remove blockages.

4. Clean tip of valve gas jet to remove any build-up or blockages.

WARNING

At first sight of yellow, unruly flames, or poorly lit burners, shut down your griddle station and remove and clear obstructions, like insect webs, from your burners and valve gas jet.

For Your Safety

• DO NOT throw water on a fire.

• DO keep baking soda handy to extinguish a fire.

• DO follow all warnings and safety checks outlined in the SAFETY & CARE MANUAL.

• DO protect your family and home by performing the cleaning and maintenance steps outlined in this manual.

Too much heat/

Excessive flare up

Griddle top is rusting

My griddle top is sticky and has marks that look like rust

• Flow limiting device in regulator has been activated.

• Grease build up around burner system causing dangerous

and over-heating.

• Cooking on the “MAX” setting, without adjusting temperature control.

• Grease channel and grease catch need to be cleaned.

• Covering more than 70% of the cooking surface may cause the

Griddle station to overheat.

• Excessive fat on meat and cooking on high temperatures.

The griddle top is made of cold-rolled steel and will RUST when seasoning has worn off, has not been applied, or when the griddle has been stored for long periods. Follow the “Seasoning and Griddle Care” instructions in this manual, to remove rust and re-season the griddle station.

Your Griddle top has been seasoned with soy oil to protect it until it has been fully seasoned. What you are seeing is excess soy oil that will gradually burn away during the seasoning process.

10

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE:

Food is sticking to the griddle top

Decreasing heat,

“popping sound”

The seasoning has worn off of the griddle top. Repeat the steps outlined in the “Seasoning And Griddle Care” section of this manual, to create a slick, non-stick, seasoned griddle surface.

Or load your griddle with excessively oily foods such as burgers and bacon to speed up the seasoning process.

Always season before you begin cooking. Pour some oil. With a set of tongs and paper towel, spread the oil over the entire cook surface.

• Out of propane.

• Burner and/or burner tubes are blocked.

Humming noise from regulator • Cylinder valve opened too quickly.

Melting gas supply hose • Your griddle station’s gas supply hose and regulator contains a

thermal element that will shut off the flow of gas between 240°F and

300 °F, by melting the supply hose and essentially disconnecting from the LP cylinder.

• Poor ventilation caused by in-appropriate clearance at the sides and

rear of the griddle station.

• Overheating caused by high cooking temperatures and grease fire.

Grease is not flowing into the grease catch

The griddle station is not angled correctly. When your griddle is cool, you will need to adjust the griddle feet to get the correct angle to flow grease to the right grease catch.

Grease fires Cooking with excess oil or grease on the cook surface, can cause a grease fire on the griddle surface, which can also ignite both the grease channel and the excess grease within the grease catch.

Prevent Grease Fires:

• Ensure the griddle station is leveled correctly to ensure a positive flow of grease through the grease channel and into the grease catch.

• If flare-ups occur, adjust the cooking temperatures to low.

CAUTION

Always allow sufficient time for the griddle station to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.

11

SEASONING AND GRIDDLE CARE

What is seasoning?

Seasoning is the process of applying multiple coatings of oil to the griddle surface, heating to a high temperature, to bake the oil into the griddle top, creating a slick, non-stick surface, that is blackened and protected from rust and oxidization.

Seasoning Your Griddle

Seasoning your griddle top improves the cooking performance, creates a non-stick surface for cooking, prevents damage and deterioration due to moisture and humidity, and extends the life of your griddle station.

How to Season

1. Clean the griddle top with a damp cloth to remove any dust/dirt.

2. Apply oil to the griddle top, sides and corners. Use a paper towel to coat surface thoroughly.

3. Light the griddle station and set temperature controls to the “MAX” setting.

4. Heat the oil to its smoke point. You will notice the griddle top changing colour.

SEASONING AND GRIDDLE CARE

Oil’s For Seasoning a. Vegetable oil b. Vegetable shortening c. Canola oil d. Flax oil e. Olive oil - Not ideal. Burns off at lower temperatures than the other options above.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE

With continued use of your griddle station, the seasoning bond will get better and better.

Applying a coating of oil at the start and finish of each cook, will help to maintain seasoning.

Make sure you always cover your griddle surface with the griddle top cover provided, once your griddle has cooled. The cover will keep the griddle surface clean and ready to cook.

Griddle Cleaning Tools

You will need:

• PROTECTIVE GLOVES

• CLOTH/ PAPER TOWELS

• SCRAPER

• STEEL WOOL

• WATER BOTTLE

• OIL BOTTLE

Cleaning Your Griddle Station

Griddle Surface:

At the end of every cook and before storing your griddle, you should scrape off any remaining debris left over from cooking, before re-seasoning with a coat of oil. For hard to remove grease, you can use a small amount of water and your scraper.

Once the griddle top is reasonably clean, scraped and dry, apply a thin coat of oil to maintain the seasoning bond and prevent rust.

13

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Griddle Surface Rust:

The appearance of rust spots on the griddle top, is an indication that the protective seasoning has worn off and must be repeated.

Begin by dampening the surface with water. With protective gloves and steel wool, scrub the areas of concern until the rust has been lifted from the surface. Rinse the surface thoroughly. Be careful not to overflow the grease catch. Wipe the griddle surface with a cloth or paper towel if needed.

Re-season 3-5X. For seasoning steps, follow the Seasoning and Griddle Care instructions on page 12.

Grease Catch

Remove and clean the grease catch AFTER EVERY USE to prevent possible spillage, grease fires and hot grease splatters.

When the griddle top and grease catch have FULLY COOLED , remove the grease catch and dump the contents into a disposable container, and then into the trash. Alternatively, you can place the disposable container into the fridge for the oil to solidify, before pouring into the trash.

Burners & Burner Box Maintenance

Although your griddle stations burner box is fully protected from grease and other build-up that can accumulate during cooking, regular checks of the burners and ignition electrode are still required to ensure proper performance, safety and a longevity of your parts.

Burners

Because the burners are covered by the griddle top, it is not as easy to identify poor performance and premature aging of parts.

For this reason, we recommend that once a season the griddle top is removed and burner maintenance conducted.

1. Remove griddle top. Place on the ground, right side up.

2. Remove hitch pins/screws to free the burners.

Use WD40 and a screwdriver/pliers to make this removal easier.

3. Remove burners

4. Use a flexible venturi brush to clean the interior of the burners. Ensure you enter the burner far enough to remove any spider webs and nests that may be present.

14

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

5. Use a wire or paper clip to clean any blocked burner ports.

6. Brush away any rust or corrosion from the burners surface, and wipe clean with a damp cloth.

Dry the burners.

NOTE

Before reinstalling burners, use a cotton swab to clean the valve gas jet.

7. Re-install the burners. Ensure that the burners are properly seated on the valve gas jet before assembling hardware.

Cleaning Exterior Parts, and Surfaces

ALL MATERIALS including stainless steel, porcelain, and painted steel parts can become stained, soiled and corroded by dirt, pollution, deposits from inappropriate cleaners and grease. Routine cleaning of exterior surfaces is necessary to remove contaminants, rust and avoid permanent damage.

Do’s :

• DO remove dirt and contamination immediately to avoid permanent damage to porcelain, or painted surfaces.

• DO wipe down all surfaces frequently with a basic vinegar and water solution, or basic warm water and detergent.

• DO RINSE OFF all cleaners, with clean warm water, and dry completely with a soft or microfiber cloth.

• DO NOT use any chloride-containing detergents, abrasive cleaners, bleach or other chemical cleaners as the may permanently damage painted surfaces.

15

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Storing Your Griddle Station

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL GRIDDLE SAFETY TIPS

1. ALWAYS Turn controls and gas source or tank “ OFF ” when not in use.

2. Do not leave griddle station unattended at any time while in operation.

3. If the griddle surface and components have not been regularly maintained or safely checked, take extreme caution at first lighting, during preheat, and when cooking at high temperatures.

WARNING:

HOT SURFACES

4. Never move the griddle station while in operation or still hot.

5. All surfaces in and around the griddle station can become HOT to the touch. Keep children and pets away. Do not allow people to congregate around the griddle station.

Always use long-handled barbecue utensils and grilling gloves to avoid burns and protect from grease splatters.

6. Do not overload side shelf (Load capacity 10 lb).

7. The grease catch must be in position before cooking.

8. Always empty the grease catch after every cook. Do not remove the grease catch until it has completely cooled.

9. Clean griddle station often, preferably after each cookout.

10. If you notice grease dripping from the griddle station, wait until cool and adjust the level of your griddle top to ensure that grease flows correctly into the grease catch.

11. Perform a leak test every time you change your LP cylinder.

12. Inspect your griddle station’s hose and regulator or any cracks, tears or damage caused by rodents. If unsure, perform a leak test to ensure your families safety.

13. If the regulator frosts, turn “OFF” the griddle station and LP cylinder valve immediately. This indicates a problem with the cylinder and it should not be used on any product. Return to supplier!

14. Never position any flammable, or temperature sensitive items on the side shelf or close to the griddle surface, as they may overheat and result in an explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

15. Do not use water on a fire. If a fire develops, and it is safe to do so, turn the LP cylinder off and disconnect it. Wait for the fire to go out before turning the control knobs “OFF”.
