Fuels used in liquefied propane gas appliances, and the products of combustion of such fuels, can expose you to chemicals including benzene, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.
For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

The LP gas supply cylinder must be disconnected when this appliance is not in use.

PLEASE NOTE: The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during operation. This will not affect safety or use of griddle.

FUEL

16.4 OZ. PROPANE BOTTLE

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM GAS

LP gas is nontoxic, odorless and colorless when produced. For safety and easy detection, LP gas has been given an odor similar to rotten cabbage.
LP gas is highly flammable and may ignite unexpectedly when mixed with air

16.4 OZ LP BOTTLE REQUIREMENTS

Use only a 3.8 x 7.8 inch, 16.4oz propane bottle.
LP bottle must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP bottles, U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the Standard for Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, CAN/CSA-B339.
Only cylinders marked "propane" should be used.

DISCONNECTING THE 16.4 OZ LP BOTTLE

Griddle must be off and cool.
Disconnect regulator from the gas line by unscrewing the collar.
Unscrew LP bottle from the regulator

16.4 OZ LP BOTTLE SAFETY TIPS

Before opening LP bottle valve, the regulator must be properly connected.
Place dust cap on bottle valve outlet whenever bottle is not in use.
Only install the type of dust cap on the bottle valve outlet that is provided with bottle valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
When appliance is not in use, turn off all control knobs and LP bottle valve.
Keep ventilation openings in bottle enclosure free and clear of debris.
Appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa).
If regulator fails in unit, it must be replaced with a Blackstone approved model and must only be replaced by a professionally licensed, authorized dealer. Failure to comply will void the warranty.
If regulator frosts, turn off griddle and LP bottle valve immediately. This indicates a problem with bottle and it should not be used on any product.Return bottle to supplier!

Small variations in manufacturing and raw materials can cause some griddles to be slightly warped. A slight warp will disappear when the griddle is heated in preparation for cooking.

PRODUCT SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS

For best results, we recommended seasoning the griddle before cooking on griddle top.

TOOLS NEEDED: Cooking Tongs, Paper Towels, and Cooking Oil

Make sure griddle top is wiped clean of debris. (Please reference the Cleaning Your Product section)
Ignite griddle by following lighting instruction (Please reference the Ignition chapter). Turn all knobs to set burners to high. Wait for approximately 10–15 minutes until your griddle top starts to discolor.
Pour a light amount of cooking oil on griddle top. Any cooking oil will work. The amount of oil used depends on the size of griddle (refer to the measurement chart).
Use cooking tongs or heat resistant gloves to hold folded paper towels. Spread the cooking oil over surface of griddle top using the paper towels. Be sure to cover every part of griddle top, including corners and sides.
Once your griddle is covered with a thin layer of oil, allow griddle to heat on high. Smoking will occur as the oil begins to bond with the surface of griddle top, creating a stick-resistant surface.
When griddle top has stopped smoking and there isn't a noticeable amount of sheen, repeat steps 3–5 at least three times.

After repeating the seasoning steps, griddle top may not appear to be completely black. To achieve a dark surface, start cooking on your griddle top. This will create a nicely seasoned griddle top.
Follow proper griddle storing practices to maintain seasoned cooking surface. (Please reference the General Care section.)

PLEASE NOTE: Blackstone griddle tops are pre-treated with soy oil as a protective coating. This coating may leave a discoloration on the griddle top. This is normal and will not affect the seasoning process.

HOW MUCH OIL

1 Tbsp. of Oil

All 17" and 22" Griddles

2 Tbsp. of Oil

All 28" Griddles

3 Tbsp. of Oil

CLEANING THE BURNER ASSEMBLY

Unit burners vary, however these instructions apply to all units. Clean burner assembly and check burner for damage. If any large cracks or holes are found, replace burner.

Turn gas OFF at control knobs and gas supply. Remove griddle top.
Carefully detach and remove the burner.
Run a narrow bottle brush through each burner tube several times. (Do not use wire brushes)

Additional Methods Include:

Run a stiff wire bent into a small hook through each burner tube several times.
Use an air hose to force air into burner tube and out burner ports. Check that air blows through each hole. (Wear eye protection)

Brush entire outer surface of burner to remove grime.
Clean any blocked ports with stiff wire such as an open paper clip. Then, carefully replace burners and reattach. Burner tubes must be reengaged with the valve openings.

BURNER FLAME CHECK

Light burners and rotate knobs from high to low. When knob is at high, flames should be larger than when knob is at low.
Perform burner flame check by looking below griddle top on the side of unit to view burners below.
Always check burner flame before use.

If there is a sudden drop or low flame issue, please reference the Troubleshooting chapter.
For additional support, see youtube.com/blackstonegriddles

MATCH LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Before beginning, check for gas leaks. (Please reference the Leak Test Instructions in the Fuel chapter.)

Ensure control knob is in OFF position.
Remove griddle top.
Light a match (or long lighter) no shorter than 11 inches long. Place the flame on the right or left side of the burner.
Push in and turn the control knob to the HIGH position. Ensure burner lights and stays lit.

Healthy flames might have a few flickers of yellow color , then a dark blue color , followed by a vibrant blue by the burner tube .

burn hazard
DO NOT place flammable items on side shelves near the griddle. Aerosol containers are particularly hazardous because they can overheat and result in an explosion, fire, severe personal injury, or death.

DO NOT place oily or greasy towels near the griddle unit as they can spontaneously combust.

CLEANING YOUR PRODUCT

STORING YOUR PRODUCT

Store griddle in a cool, dry location. Always cover griddle if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of griddle covers offered by Blackstone

When protecting griddle with soft cover, use the "tenting" method to prevent water from accumulating on griddle top. "Tenting" involves placing an object (a bowl, tennis ball or PVC pipe) beneath soft cover in the center of griddle in order to allow water to slide off. "Tenting" helps prevent rust.

FIRST TIME CLEANING

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE:
Blackstone Griddles are pre-treated with cooking oil to prevent rust and damage during shipping. For first time use, wash griddle with hot, soapy water.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.

Rinse and dry completely. Proceed with seasoning instructions. (Please reference the Product Seasoning Instructions section)

TURNING THE UNIT OFF

Turn all knobs to OFF position. Turn LP cylinder OFF by turning handwheel clockwise to a full stop.

CLEANING THE COOKING SURFACE

To clean griddle after each use, cool griddle below 300°F. Scrape food debris with spatula or straight metal scraper.
Wipe down griddle surface with paper towel.
Divide griddle surface into approximately 6" sections (width of scraper tool). Apply a small amount of water onto first section with a bottle and then scrape the water and debris toward the grease trap. Move to the next 6" section and repeat.
DO NOT USE MORE THAN TWO TABLESPOONS OF WATER AT A TIME.
1/4 cup of table salt may be used to buff off stuck food residue.
Wipe again with a paper towel and dry completely.
Apply thin coat of cooking oil to maintain seasoning and protect the griddle top.

NEVER APPLY COLD WATER ACROSS THE WHOLE SURFACE OF A HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE. This may cause warping.

DO NOT USE SOAP ON THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE. This will destroy the griddle's seasoning.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PIEZO-ELECTRIC IGNITION TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOMS

Burner will not ignite with piezo ignition system

If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner controls off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure. If this does not work, to determine the cause, please try to ignite your griddle with a match. (Please reference the Match Lighting Instructions in the Cleaning the Burner Assembly section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

*If you CAN ignite your griddle with a match*
POSSIBLE CAUSES	SOLUTION
Igniter wire misaligned.	Ensure that the igniter wire is positioned 1/8" to 1/4" away from the burner tube, positioned above a burner hole.
Damage to the ignition system.	Contact customer service for replacement parts.
*If you CAN NOT ignite your griddle with a match*
POSSIBLE CAUSES	SOLUTION
Burner tubes are not receiving propane.	Please reference the Gas Flow section of the Troubleshooting Chapter.

GRIDDLE GAS FLOW

SYMPTOMS

A flame is coming out of the air gate

POSSIBLE CAUSES	SOLUTION
Something is blocking the venturi in the burner tube. This is not allowing the propane to flow through the burner, causing the flame to back out the air gate.	Clean the burner assembly to remove the obstruction. (Please reference the Cleaning Your Griddle section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

SYMPTOMS

Burner flames are yellow or irregular

POSSIBLE CAUSES	SOLUTION
Something is blocking the air gate for the burner. This is blocking oxygen from mixing with the propane correctly to get healthy flames.	Check the air gates in your burner. If you have adjustable air shutters over your air gates, make sure that they are completely open. If your burners have bug shields, clean any spider webs, soot, or debris off the bug shield. Clean any other obstructions out of air gates.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT. Scan QR code for more videos or visit the Blackstone YouTube channel at youtube.com/blackstonegriddles

SYMPTOMS

Griddle will not achieve a high heat or heats unevenly
Burner flames start strong, then immediately drop to low even when burner is set to high position
Flame height drops when a second burner is lit
Flames do not extend the full length of the burner, or only run on one side of the burner
Burner flames are inconsistent

POSSIBLE CAUSES	SOLUTION
United States regulations require that all griddle regulators contain a flow limiting device for consumer safety. This device measures the amount of propane going through the regulator to ensure the levels are safe. If the flow rate through the regulator is too high (a symptom of a large leak), the flow limiting device will trigger, restricting the flow of propane to reduce the chance of a dangerous fire. This safety system can accidentally be tripped by opening a propane tank too quickly or opening the propane tank when a burner knob is not in the off position.	This safety system can be reset by moving the burner knobs to the off position, closing the propane tank, and disconnecting the regulator from the propane tank. Wait five minutes to allow the pressure to dissipate, then reconnect the regulator to the propane tank and slowly open the tank (it should take a full 30 seconds to open half a turn). Ignite your griddle as described in the Care & Maintenance chapter.
LP gas cylinder is empty or low.	Refill or replace the propane tank.
Obstructions in the burner, gas jets, or fuel rail.	Clean the burner, jets, and gas hose. (Please reference the Cleaning Your Product section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)
Regulator stuck in safety position.	Contact customer service for replacement parts.

BURNER FLAME PATTERN
Your griddle's burners are designed to mix oxygen and propane at a rate that allows for optimal flames. Should the burner's holes, air gate, or venturi get blocked, it will affect the propane and air mixture, causing low or inconsistent flames, or flames coming from the air gate.
Healthy flames might have a few flickers of yellow color , then a dark blue color , followed by a vibrant blue by the burner tube .

FAQ

What types of cooking oils can I use to season my griddle?

We recommend the following oils for seasoning purposes: olive oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, coconut oil, flax seed oil and sesame oil. (Please reference the Product Seasoning Instructions section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

Can I use dish detergent to clean my product

Grease cutting dish detergents will erase the seasoning on the griddle and should not be used after griddle is seasoned. For tough spots use table salt and hot water and always coat with a thin layer of oil once you are finished cleaning. (For griddle cleaning instructions, please reference the Cleaning Your Product section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

Why does my griddle surface look dull and dry instead of shiny and black?
Seasoning is a continuous process. Over time and the more often you use your griddle top, the more shiny, black and non-stick it will become.

Can I cut directly on the griddle top

Yes, you can. Cutting on the griddle top will not harm it.

What if my product starts to rust

A. If rust appears on the griddle surface, rub it off with steel wool or low grit sandpaper and re-season the surface (youtube.com/watch?v=thPE2IgnSiI). Take care to always completely dry your griddle before storing and keep away from rain and sprinklers. It is also important to keep your griddle covered. (For proper storage techniques, please reference the General Care section of the Care & Maintenance chapter.)

*CUSTOMERS IN HUMID OR COASTAL CLIMATES MAY REQUIRE MORE FREQUENT SEASONINGS AND THE USE OF HEAVIER COOKING OILS TO AVOID RUSTING AND CORROSION.*
