RESOLVING BURNER ISSUES
ATTENTION
Once lit, confirm that the burner is properly lit and that the flame pattern is as desired. If the flame pattern is
other than normal, consult the troubleshooting guide for corrective action.
Burner Flame Check
The burner flame pattern is the key indicator of proper or improper
function within the firebox. When the burners are performing correctly,
you will see a specific flame pattern. All burner ports should be
2.5cm/1” flame on “MAX” with orange tips, light blue center, with dark
blue flame at the base of the burner port
( See image C ). Refer to the troubleshooting steps.
Light the burners and rotate the knobs from “MAX” to “MIN”. You
should see a smaller flame in low position than seen on high. Perform
burner flame check by looking below the griddle top on the side of the

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 firebox 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 and remove and clear
obstructions, like insect webs, from your burners and valve gas jet.

• High wind condition – Adjust griddle to shield from wind
• Burner is improperly seated on gas jet.
Low heat
• Flow limiting device in regulator has been activated either due to a leak or improper lighting.
• Make certain the problem is isolated to only one burner. If it appears so, burner(s) have a blockage
that needs to be cleared.
• Check for a bent or kinked fuel hose.
• In colder temperatures preheat for longer periods.
Low or incomplete flame
(assuming burners and Venturi tubes are
free and clear of blockages)
Too much heat/Excessive flare up
• 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 catch need to be cleaned.
• Covering more than 70% of the cooking surface may cause the Griddle to overheat.
• Excessive fat on meat and cooking on high temperatures.
Griddle top is rusting
The griddle top is made of 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.
Food is sticking to
the griddle top
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.
Decreasing heat,
“popping sound”
• 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’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.
• Overheating caused by high cooking temperatures and grease fire.
Grease is not flowing
into the grease catch
The griddle is not leveled correctly. Follow the steps outlined in the “Setting Up Your Griddle” section
of this manual on page 4.

1-833-454-0864
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE:
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 excess grease within the grease catch.
Prevent Grease Fires:
• Ensure the griddle is leveled correctly to ensure a positive flow of grease into the grease catch.
• If flare-ups occur, adjust the cooking temperatures to low.
Griddle surface has a brown sticky surface
IMPORTANT: The Member’s Mark Griddle is pre-treated with soy oil as a protective coating following
manufacturing. This coating may leave a discoloration on the griddle top. This is normal and will not
affect the seasoning process. Follow the seasoning instructions on page 15.
Griddle surface has warped
Attention: Minor warpage is a natural
phenomenon as small variations in
manufacturing and raw materials can
cause some griddles to be slightly warped.
This is generally temporary and should not
affect the performance of your griddle. And
the griddle should flatten out with more
use.
Tips to avoid temporary warping: 1)Always use all available burners. 2) Preheat at lower temperatures
and for a shorter period. This will also give you greater control of your griddle temperature, if
preheated too hot, it will take a long time to cool. 3) Don’t overheat. You might get the urge to turn
your burners up to full blast the first time you use the Griddle, but don’t! Most only need to be set to
“MED” to heat to over 500 degrees F. 4)Using pots or pans on the Griddle can act like a heat sink
pulling tremendous amount of heat from the Griddle and possibly warping the steel temporarily.
5) Avoid wild temperature differences. Never add a large amount of frozen food or cold water to a hot
griddle. It’s perfectly fine to use “zones” of different temperatures on the Griddle for cooking different
kinds of foods at the same time, however, extreme differences such as one side heated on “MAX”,
while the opposite is set to “MIN”,can cause warping.
Fire within Cabinet
• A gas leak between the tank and the regulator. Leak tests must be performed every time a tank is
refilled.
• Gas tank and control knobs left on while griddle is not in use.
CAUTION
Always allow sufficient time for the griddle to cool fully before handling or cleaning any of its parts.
WARNING:
HEED THE WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL. ALWAYS PERFORM A LEAK TEST, EVERY TIME YOU REFILL OR
CHANGE YOUR GAS TANK. NEVER LEAVE YOUR PROPANE TANK OPEN WHILE NOT IN USE. NEVER
LEAVE THE CONTROL KNOBS ON WHILE NOT IN USE. ALWAYS OPEN YOUR GRIDDLE LID BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT YOUR GRIDDLE.

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.
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 and set control knobs to the “MAX” setting.
4. Heat the oil to its smoke point. You will notice the griddle top changing color.
5. When the oil stops smoking,repeat steps 2 to 4, about 5 times, until the griddle surface becomes dark.

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.
DO NOT USE SOAP on the griddle surface, this will destroy the seasoning.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE
With continued use of your griddle, 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. Never use soap to clean the griddle, this will
destroy the seasoning. Never pour cold water on surface, as this can cause the surface to warp.
Griddle Cleaning Tools
You will need:
• PROTECTIVE GLOVES
• CLOTH/ PAPER TOWELS
• WATER BOTTLE
• OIL BOTTLE
• SCRAPER
• STEEL WOOL
Cleaning Your Griddle
Griddle Surface:
Preheat your griddle. Use a water bottle to squirt the griddle surface. Use a griddle scraper to loosen any debris on
the surface. Apply more water if needed. Be careful not to use too much water, as you may overflow the grease catch.
Once the griddle top is reasonably clean, scraped and dry, apply a thin coat of oil to maintain the seasoning bond and
prevent rust.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Burners & Firebox Maintenance
Although your griddle’s firebox 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.
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.
7. Re-install the burners. Ensure that the burners are properly seated on the valve gas jet before assembling
hardware.
NOTE
Before reinstalling burners, use a cotton swab to clean the valve gas jet.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
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.
Cleaning The Lid
Over time you may notice “paint-like” peeling on the inside of the griddle lid. During use grease and smoke vapor’s turn
into carbon deposits, which eventually begin to peel. These deposits are non-toxic but should be cleaned off to avoid
flakes falling onto food. Use a grill brush to brush the carbon build up from inside the lid on a regular basis to avoid this
build-up.
Because of the high temperature capabilities of this Griddle, cooking on high temperatures with the lid closed will cause
the stainless steel to discolour. This will have no impact on the performance of the lid.
Storing Your Griddle
•
If possible, always store in a cool, dry location.
•
If storing with the LP cylinder, store outdoors in a well-ventilated area.
•
If storing for long periods of time, make sure that the griddle top is fully seasoned
and protected.
•
Always cover your Griddle with a full length, all weather grill cover, to protect from all elements.
CAUTION
Only cover the Griddle and Griddle Top when fully cooled.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL GRIDDLE SAFETY TIPS
1. ALWAYS turn control knobs and gas source or tank “OFF” when not in use.
2. Do not leave griddle 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.
4. Never move the griddle while in operation or still hot.
5. All surfaces in and around the griddle can become HOT to the touch. Keep children and pets
away. Do not allow people to congregate around the griddle. 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 lbs.)
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 often, preferably after each cookout.
10. If you notice grease dripping from the griddle, 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’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 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”.
16. Do not place a tool which weighs more than 1kg to magnet tool holder. Do not hold tools with
sharp edges or angles on magnet tool holder. Keep out of reach of children.
