Canton Chair Rental TABLETOP PROPANE GRIDDLE Instructions

TABLETOP PROPANE GRIDDLE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make certain that the burner control valve/knob is in the off (pop up) position. Remove the griddle plate.
Attach a 14.1 or 16.4 oz disposable propane cylinder to the regulator by pushing upward into the regulator inlet.
Carefully engage the threads by pushing the cylinder straight up and turning. Tighten hand tight only. Do not use
tools of any kind. The regulator can be rotated in the burner tube to a convenient angle to make installing the gas
cylinder easier.
2. Assemble the drip tray as shown on the next page.
3. Rotate the control knob to the push to turn on position, depress and turn to the lighting position. Light all
burner ports and then turn the control knob to the high position. Replace the griddle plate. Check to make certain
that all burners are lighted by looking through the observation holes on either side of the control valve. Allow the
griddle plate to heat up for 7 to 10 minutes before cooking. Then adjust to suit the food being cooked.
4. For best results, use a good brand of no-stick cooking spray on the griddle surface before beginning to cook.
When cooking foods such as sausage or bacon that fry out-*pour excess grease into a suitable container by
carefully lifting the griddle plate off the unit and tilting to drain at one of the corners. Do not allow more than a
thin coating of grease or cooking oil to accumulate on the griddle plate. Hot grease is extremely flammable and
should be *drained into suitable container. Do not wet the griddle plate or immerse it in water while hot.
5. To turn off: rotate the control knob to the push to turn on position and allow it to spring upward. Then rotate to
the lock off position. Be sure to turn the unit off before replacing an empty propane cylinder.
Always remove the propane cylinder before storing or transporting the unit.
Safety precautions:
•
The griddle unit must be protected from brisk winds. If a shelter area is not available, use temporary wind
screens. Periodically, while cooking, check the burner flames. If the flames are not visible at all burner
ports, shut the unit off, wait a few minutes for gas to dissipate and relight as described above.
•
A frost accumulation on the propane cylinder is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
•
use caution when handling and using propane gas. Gas allowed to escape can result in a fire or explosion.
It is heavier than air and may settle in the fire box, on floors, etc.
•
Do not permit the unit to be operated without competent adult supervision. Do not leave the griddle unit
unattended while operating. Check periodically to see if all burner ports are ignited. If the flame goes out,
shut off the gas valve immediately and allow gas to dissipate for several minutes before relighting.
•
Do not operate a unit that has been obviously damaged or in poor condition.
•
Use only 14.1 or 16.4 oz disposable cylinders.
•
Remove the propane cylinder whenever the unit is moved or is not in use. Store and dispose of propane
cylinders in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
•
Do not operate the griddle in a confined space without adequate ventilation. The burners consume a great
deal of oxygen and may release dangerous products of combustion to the surrounding air. A single small
opening in a room, tent, or building is not adequate. Provide for circulation of air or cross ventilation. If
air does not move through the area naturally, use a fan to exhaust air through a window or other opening.
