Appliance Set-Up

A. Setting up your Stove
Remove the unit from the shipping brackets by removing (2)
1/4-20 hex head bolts from each shipping bracket, leaving
brackets attached to the skid, Figure 5.1. (Save the 1/4-20
hex head bolts as they will be needed later to install heat
shield.)
NOTE: When moving the stove, lift the stove to take weight
off the legs whenever possible. Dragging or sliding the stove,
especially across rough surfaces can cause the legs to loosen
or even break.
Figure 5.1 - Remove unit from shipping brackets.
Wipe the protective coating of oil from the griddle with a clean
dry rag or a paper towel.
Install the handle on
the griddle. First, place
the griddle upside down
at the edge of a flat
surface and assemble
the handle, Figure 5.2.
With the handle pointing
45° from its final position,
tighten the nut as far as
possible with the pliers.
Move the handle to its
final position while still holding the nut with the pliers.
Overtightening can strip tapped threads.
