9.The regulator may make a humming or whistling noise during operation. This will not affect safety or use of BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo.

!WARNING !

Turn controls and gas source or tank OFF when not in use.

CAUTION

If ignition does NOT occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner controls OFF, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure. If the burner does not ignite with the valve open, gas will continue to flow out of the burner and could accidently ignite with risk of injury.

Match-Lighting

Do not lean over BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo while lighting. Make sure no leakage at the tube. Insure that valve knob and regulator knob are

in the “OFF” position. First open the valve knob regulator to light by match. If your appliance has a top cover, you must open the top cover first. If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the burner control(s) off, wait 5 minutes and repeat the lighting procedure.

1.Place match into match holder(hanging from side panel of griddle). Light match: then light burner by placing match on right or left side of griddle

2.Push in and turn burner knob to the HIGH position, depending on match light hole selected. Be sure burner lights and stays lit.

Burner Flame Check

Light burner, rotate knob from high to low. You should see a smaller flame in low position than seen on high. Perform burner flame check on side burner, also. Always check flame prior to each use. If only low flame is seen refer to “Sudden drop or low flame” in the Troubleshooting.

Turning the Tailgater Off

Turn knob to the OFF position. Turn LP

cylinder OFF by turning hand-wheel clockwise to a full stop.

Valve Check

Important: Make sure gas is off at LP cylinder before checking valves. Knobs lock in OFF position. To check valve, first push in knob and release, knob should spring back. If knob does not spring back, replace valve assembly

before using the Tailgater. Turn knob to low position then turn back to OFF position. Valve should turn smoothly.

Hose Check

Clean and inspect the hose before each use of the appliance. If there is evidence of abrasion, wear, cuts or leaks, the hose must be replaced prior to the appliance being put into operation. Use only identical replacement part valve/hose/regulator as specified in the Parts List of this Use and Care Guide.

General Tailgater Cleaning

•Do not mistake brown or black accumulation of grease and smoke for paint. Interiors of gas

ovens are not painted at the factory (and should never be painted). Apply a strong

solution of detergent and water or use an oven cleaner with scrub brush on insides of oven lid and bottom. Rinse and allow to

completely air dry. Do not apply a caustic griddle/ oven cleaner to painted surfaces.

•Plastic parts: Wash with warm soapy water and wipe dry. Do not use Citrisol, abrasive cleaners, de-greasers or a concentrated oven

cleaner on plastic parts. Damage to and failure of parts can result.

•Painted surfaces: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.

•Stainless steel surfaces: To maintain your Tailgater’s high quality appearance, wash with mild detergent and warm soapy water and wipe dry with a soft cloth after each use.

•Baked-on grease deposits may require the use of an abrasive plastic cleaning pad. Use only in direction of brushed finish to avoid damage. Do not use abrasive pad on areas with graphics.

If a bristle brush is used to clean any of the Tailgater’s cooking surfaces, ensure no loose bristles remain on cooking surfaces prior to cooking.

Storing Your BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo

•Store in dry location.

•When an LP cylinder is connected to BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo, store outdoors in a well-ventilated space and out of reach of children.

•Cover BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo if stored outdoors. Choose from a variety of BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo covers offered by Blackstone.

•Store BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo indoors ONLY if LP cylinder is turned off and disconnected, removed from BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo and stored outdoors.

•When removing BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo from storage, follow “Cleaning the Burner Assembly” instructions before starting griddle.

Cleaning the Burner Assembly

Follow these instructions to clean and/or replace parts of burner assembly or if you have trouble igniting BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo.

1.Turn gas OFF at control knob and LP cylinder.

2.Remove upper cover (Part 1 on parts list).

3.Remove heat shield and aluminum cover, stone, and rotating panel.

4.Detach electrode from burner.

NOTE: Removal/Detachment method will depend on the burner configuration.

5.Carefully lift burner up and away from valve openings. We suggest three ways to clean the burner tubes. Use the one easiest for you. (A) Bend a stiff wire (a light weight coat hanger works well) into a small hook. Run the hook through burner tube several times.(B) Use a narrow bottle brush with a flexible handle (do not use a brass wire brush), run the brush through burner tube several times.(C) Wear eye protection: Use an air hose to force air into the burner tube and out the burner ports. Check each port to make sure air comes out each hole.

6.Wire brush entire outer surface of burner to remove food residue and dirt.

7.Clean any blocked ports with a stiff wire such as an open paper clip.

8.Check burner for damage, due to normal wear and corrosion some holes may become enlarged. If any large cracks or holes are found replace burner.

VERY IMPORTANT: Burner tubes must reengage valve openings.

9.Attach electrode to burner.

10.Carefully replace burners.

11.Attach burners to brackets on firebox.

12.Reposition carryover tubes and attach to burner.

Separate: Separate raw meats and poultry from ready-to eat foods to avoid cross

contamination. Use a clean platter and utensils when removing cooked foods.

Cook: Cook meat and poultry thoroughly to kill bacteria. Use a thermometer to ensure proper internal food temperatures.

Chill: Refrigerate prepared foods and leftovers promptly. For more information Visit the Canadian partnership for Consumer Food Safety Educationwww.befoodsafe.ca.

How To Tell If Meat Is Grilled Thoroughly

•Meat and poultry cooked on a griddle or oven often browns very fast on the outside. Use a meat thermometer to be sure food has reached a safe internal temperature, and cut into food to check for visual signs of being done.

•Whole poultry should reach 165° F/74°C. Juices should run clear and flesh should not be pink.

•Hamburgers made of any ground meat or

poultry should reach 160° F/71°C , and be brown in the middle with no pink juices. Beef, veal and lamb steaks, roasts and chops can be cooked to 145°

F/63°C . All cuts of pork should reach 160° F/71°C.

•NEVER partially grill meat or poultry and finish cooking later. Cook food completely to destroy harmful bacteria.

•When reheating takeout foods or fully cooked meats like hot dogs, grill to 165° F/64°C , or until steaming hot dogs, grill to 165°F/74°C, or until steaming hot.

Food Safety

Food safety is a very important part of enjoying the outdoor cooking experience. To keep food safe from harmful bacteria, follow these four

basic steps:

Clean: Wash hands, utensils, and surfaces with hot soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry.

Regularly clean your BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo between uses and especially after extended periods of storage. Ensure that the BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo and its components are

sufficiently cool before cleaning.

•Never handle hot parts with unprotected hands.

•In order to extend and maintain the life and condition of your BLACKSTONE Tailgater

Combo, we strongly recommend that the unit be covered when left outside for any length of time, especially during the winter months.

Burner maintenance:

In most circumstances, burning off the residue after cooking will keep the burner clean. The burner should be removed and cleaned annually or whenever heavy build-up is found in order to ensure that there is no blockage (debris, insects) in either the burner portholes or venture tubes. Use pipe cleaner to clear obstructions. A wire brush can be used to remove corrosion from the burner surfaces. When refitting the burner, be careful to check that the venture tubes of the burner fit over the valve outlets.

Fittings and Storage:

Annual checking and tightening of metal fittings is recommended. Store the BLACKSTONE Tailgater

Combo in a cool dry place. Cover the burners with aluminum foil in order to prevent insects or other debris from collecting in the burner holes. If the BLACKSTONE Tailgater Combo is to be stored indoors, the gas bottle must be disconnected and left outside. The gas bottle should always be stored outside, out of reach of children, and in a dry, well-ventilated area away from any sources of heat

or ignition.
