GRIDDLE SEASONING INSTRUCTIONS

For best results, we recommended seasoning the griddle before

cooking on griddle top.

STEP  Make sure griddle top

is wiped clean of debris. (Please

reference the Cleaning Your

Griddle section)

STEP  Ignite griddle by

following lighting instruction

(Please reference the Ignition

chapter). Turn all knobs to set

burners to high. Wait for approx-

imately 10–15 minutes until your

griddle top starts to discolor.

STEP  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 measure-

ment chart).

TOOLS NEEDED: Cooking Tongs, Paper

Towels, and Cooking Oil

!CAUTION

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.

Care & Maintenance

HOW MUCH OIL?

1 Tbsp. of Oil

• All 17" and 22" Griddles

2 Tbsp. of Oil

• All 28" Griddles

3 Tbsp. of Oil

• All 36" Griddles

WATCH TUTORIAL. Scan QR code to

check out our griddle seasoning video on

our YouTube channel or visit:

youtube.com/blackstonegriddles

STEP  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-resis-

tant surface.

STEP  When griddle top has

stopped smoking and there isn’t a

noticeable amount of sheen, repeat

steps 3–5 at least three times.

Aer 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 a ect the seasoning process.

STEP  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.

CLEANING YOUR GRIDDLE

STORING YOUR

GRIDDLE

Store griddle in a cool, dry loca-

tion. Always cover griddle if stored

outdoors. Choose from a variety of

griddle covers o ered by Blackstone.

When protecting griddle with so

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 so cover

in the center of griddle in order to

allow water to slide o . “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 rst

time use, wash griddle with hot,

soapy water.

or burning o food residue. If

griddle has not been regularly

cleaned, a grease fire can occur

that may cause serious injury or

property damage.

!DANGER

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.

Care & Maintenance

!CAUTION

DO NOT USE SOAP ON

THE GRIDDLE COOKING

SURFACE. This will destroy the

griddle’s seasoning.

!WARNING

NEVER APPLY COLD

WATER ACROSS THE

WHOLE SURFACE OF A HOT

GRIDDLE AT ONCE. This

may cause warping.

STEP  To clean griddle aer

each use, cool griddle below 300° F.

Scrape food debris with spatula or

straight metal scraper.

CLEANING THE GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE

STEP  Wipe down griddle

surface with paper towel.

STEP  Divide griddle surface

into approximately 6" sections

(width of scraper tool). Apply a

small amount of water onto rst

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

bu o stuck food residue.

SYMPTOMS

01. A ame is coming out of the air gate.

SYMPTOMS

01. Burner ames are yellow or irregular.

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. Something is blocking the venturi

in the burner tube. This is not

allowing the propane to ow

through the burner, causing the

ame 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.)

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. Something is blocking the

air gate for the burner. This is

blocking oxygen from mixing

with the propane correctly to get

healthy ames.

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 o the bug shield. Clean any

other obstructions out of air gates.

Troubleshooting

BURNER FLAME

PATTERN

Your griddle’s burners are designed

to mix oxygen and propane at a

rate that allows for optimal ames.

Should the burner’s holes, air

gate, or venturi get blocked, it will

a ect the propane and air mixture,

causing low or inconsistent ames,

or ames coming from the air gate.

Healthy ames might have a few

ickers of yellow color , then a

dark blue color , followed by a

vibrant blue by the burner tube .

POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION

01. United States regulations require

that all griddle regulators contain a

ow limiting device for consumer

safety. This device measures the

amount of propane going through

the regulator to ensure the levels

are safe. If the ow rate through the

regulator is too high (a symptom

of a large leak), the ow limiting

device will trigger, restricting the

ow of propane to reduce the

chance of a dangerous re. 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 o 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.

02. LP gas cylinder is empty or low. Rell or replace the propane tank.

03. Obstructions in the burner, gas jets,

or fuel rail.

Clean the burner, jets, and gas

hose. (Please reference the Cleaning

Your Griddle section of the Care &

Maintenance chapter.)

04. Regulator stuck in safety position. Contact customer service for replace-

ment parts.

SYMPTOMS

01. Griddle will not achieve a high heat or heats unevenly.

02. Burner ames start strong, then immediately drop to low even when

burner is set to high position.

03. Flame height drops when a second burner is lit.

04. Flames do not extend the full length of the burner, or only run on one

side of the burner.

05. Burner ames are inconsistent.
