may take several minutes to light the pilot while air in the piping and
manifolds is purged.
The pilot light must be lighted by hand:
Turn all control knobs to the full OFF position.
The pilot is located adjacent to one leg of the burner, and is
accessible through the front panel opening.
Be sure the gas shut-off valve is ON and the appliance has had
time for the air to be purged from the lines. Attempt to light the
pilot every 15 seconds after the gas valve is turned on.
Light the pilot with a long match or fireplace lighter.
DO NOT use a cigarette lighter.

GENERAL OPERATION (Continued)

OPERATION (Continued)

SEASON THE GRIDDLE SURFACE
As manufactured, the steel surface of your griddle has
microscopic pores. It is important to fill these pores with oil in
order to provide a hard, non-stick cooking surface.

a. Preheat the griddle surface to 375ºF (191ºC).
b. Spread a light film of cooking oil over the entire griddle surface
c. Allow the oil film to cook in for approximately 2 minutes, or until

it smokes.

d. Wipe the griddle surface with a clean damp cloth until all oil is

removed.

e. For new griddles, repeat this procedure 2-3 times until the

griddle has a slick, clean surface.

Inspect the unit for cleanliness before use. Clean as necessary: See
Cleaning Instructions, page 11.
Be sure the pilot light is lit before operation. See Lighting the Pilot
Light, page 8.
The burner control knobs must be turned by hand only. Never use
tools to turn the control knob.
The control used in this gas griddle provides a continuous range of
settings from OFF to ON.
