- FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN A FIRE OR EXPLOSION THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, DEATH, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
-
GRILL INSTALLATION CODES: The installation must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with either the national fuel gas code, ANSI Z 223.1/NFPA 54, Natural gas and propane installation code, CSA B149.1, or propane storage and handling code, B149.2. LP gas grill models are designed for use with a standard 9 kg (20 lb). Liquid Propane Gas tank, not included with grill. Never connect your gas grill to an LP gas tank that exceeds this capacity.
-
Ensure the gas cylinder is purchased by a reputable supplier. An incorrectly filled or overfilled LP tank can be dangerous. The overfilled condition combined with the warming of the LP gas tank (a hot summer day, tank left in the sun, etc.) can cause LP gas to
be released since the temperature increase causes gas to expand. Gas released from the cylinder is flammable and can be explosive. -
Do not use an LP gas cylinder if it has a damaged valve or shows signs of dents, gouges, bulges, fire damage, corrosion, leakage, excessive rust, or other forms of visual external damage; it may be hazardous and should be checked immediately by a liquid propane supplier. If you see, smell, or hear the hiss of gas escaping from the cylinder, do not attempt to light the appliance. Extinguish any open flame. Disconnect from fuel supply.
-
Do not connect or disconnect the gas cylinder while the unit is in use or is still hot. When the griddle is not in use, ensure the regulator knob is turned OFF and disconnect the gas cylinder. Never move or transport the unit while the gas cylinder is attached. Do not store a spare LP gas cylinder under or near the appliance.
-

-
The location of the burner tube concerning the orifice is vital for safe operation. Check to ensure the orifice is inside the burner tube before using the gas griddle. If the burner tube does not fit over the valve orifice, lighting the burner may cause an explosion and/or fire.
DANGERS AND WARNINGS
You must contact your local home association, building or fire officials, or
authority having jurisdiction, to obtain the necessary permits, permission, or
information on any installation restrictions, such as any griddle being
installed on a combustible surface, inspection requirements, or even the
ability to use, in your area.
- A minimum clearance of 1,270mm (50 inches) from combustible constructions to the sides of the griddle and 1,270 (50 inches) from the back of the griddle to combustible constructions must be maintained. Do not install appliances on combustible floors, or floors protected with combustible surfaces unless proper permits and permissions are obtained by authorities having jurisdiction. Do not use this appliance indoors, in an enclosed or unventilated area, inside homes, vehicles, tents, or garages. Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces. Keep your griddle in an area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors or liquids. Should a grease fire occur, turn the griddle OFF until the fire is out. Do not throw water on. Do not try to smother the fire. Use of an all-class (class ABC) approved fire extinguisher is valuable to keep on site. If an uncontrolled fire does occur, call the Fire Department.
- This outdoor griddle is not intended for installation in/on recreation vehicles or boats. Never use this appliance in an enclosed space, such as a camper, tent, car, boat, or home. This appliance is not intended for and should never be used as a heater.

Never use the griddle without the grease cup installed. Without the grease cup, hot grease, and debris could leak downward and produce a fire hazard.
CARBON MONOXIDE
Always use a gas appliance outdoors in an open area with good ventilation to avoid breathing toxic fumes from combustion or leaking gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas produced by burning gas, wood, propane, charcoal, or other fuel. Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result in headaches, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, confusion, loss of consciousness, or death. Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family, or others:
- See a doctor if you or others develop cold or flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of the appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is often detected too late.
- Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning. Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mothers and children during pregnancy, infants, the elderly, smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system problems, such as anemia or heart disease.

PROPANE GAS OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GRIDDLE ENVIRONMENT
-
WHERE TO SET UP THE GRIDDLE
With all outdoor appliances, outside weather conditions play a big part in the performance of your griddle and the cooking time needed to perfect your meals. All Louisiana Grills ® units should keep a minimum clearance of 1,270mm (50 inches) from combustible constructions, and this clearance must be maintained while the grill is operational. This clearance must be maintained while the griddle is operational. Do not use this appliance under overhead combustible surfaces. Keep your griddle in an area clear from combustible materials, or other flammable vapors and liquids. -
COLD WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes cooler outside, that does not mean that grilling season is over! The crisp cool air and heavenly aroma of grilled foods will help cure your winter blues. Follow these suggestions on how to enjoy your griddle throughout the cooler months:- Organize – Get everything you require ready in the kitchen before you head outdoors. During the winter, move your griddle to an area that is out of the wind and direct cold. Check local bylaws regarding the proximity of your griddle to your home and/or other structures. Put everything you need on a tray, bundle up tight, and get it done!
- To help keep track of the outside temperature, place an outdoor thermometer close to your cooking area. Keep a log or history of what you cooked, the outdoor temperature, and the cooking time. This will help later down the road to help you determine what to cook and how long it will take.
- Have a heated platter or a dish cover ready to keep your food warm while making the trip back inside.
-
HOT WEATHER COOKING
As it becomes warmer outdoors, the cooking time will decrease. Follow these few suggestions on how to enjoy your griddle throughout the hot months:- Adjust your cooking temperatures downward. This helps to avoid unwanted flare-ups.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of your foods. This helps prevent your meat from overcooking and drying out.
- You can keep foods hot by wrapping them in foil and placing them in an insulated cooler. Stuff crumpled up newspaper around the foil and this will keep food hot for 3 to 4 hours.
PREPARATION FOR USE – LEAK TESTING
A leak test is used to determine the integrity of a seal. Before using your
gas griddle, perform a leak test on the connection between the regulator and
the gas cylinder to reduce the risk of serious bodily injury or death from
fire or explosion. A leak test should be performed a minimum of once a season,
as well as:
- before lighting your griddle for the first time,
- every time the gas cylinder has been changed,
- after travel, especially over rough or bumpy roads,
- after a prolonged period of storage or non-use.
HOW TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST
Supplies Required
- 1 x Bowl (empty, clean)
- 1 x Paint Brush (clean)
- Dish Washing Liquid Water
Procedure
-
Position the griddle in a well-ventilated area. Ensure the griddle is cool to the touch, and not in use. Verify that the regulator value is turned to the “O” position and that the gas cylinder is tightened securely to the regulator.
IMPORTANT: Ensure there is no open flame or smokers nearby. -
Mix a solution of one part of water with one part of dishwashing liquid in a bowl. The solution will make a bubble, as it will be concentrated.
-
Use a paintbrush to apply the solution onto the seal between the regulator and the gas cylinder. Visually inspect for streams of bubbles coming from a defect or break in the seal.
NOTE: If a leak appears, repeat the gas cylinder installation procedure, but do not over-tighten. Handtighten only. Repeat the leak test after re- installation to ensure the seal is secure.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the gas griddle if you detect a gas leak that cannot be corrected by using the leak test procedure. Contact your local Fire Department or Customer Care for alternative measures of testing to ensure proper precaution.
FIRST USE – GRIDDLE BURN-OFF
Before using your griddle for the first time with food, it is important to
complete a burn-off. Start the griddle and operate it for a minimum of 15
minutes ” ” to burn off the unit. This will “heat clean” the internal

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Any Pit Boss® unit will give you many years of flavorful service with minimum cleaning. Follow these cleaning and maintenance tips to service your griddle:
Checking the Gas Level
To check the amount of fuel in the gas cylinder, the griddle must be in
operation. Place your hand at the top of the cylinder and slowly move down the
side until the tank feels cool to the touch. This will indicate the
approximate amount of gas in your tank; if ¾ empty, replace it with a full
tank. (A)
IMPORTANT: Do not use charcoal briquettes or any flammable material with
your griddle. Use of such material will void your warranty and may lead to a
fire, explosion, and bodily harm.
Burner Components
-
Clean the burner whenever heavy build-up is found, to ensure that there are no signs of blockage (debris, insects) on the burner tube or in the burner air inlets. (B) After periods of storage, spiders or small insects can build nests, and webs, and lay eggs in the
burner tube, obstructing the flow of gas to the burner. If storing the griddle or before an extended period of non-use, remove the burner and wrap it with aluminum foil to reduce the risk of insects entering the burner holes. -
The burner has been preset for optimal flame performance. A blue flame (C), possibly with a small yellow tip (D), is the result of the optimal air and gas mixture. If flames are excessively yellow, orange, or irregular, clean the oil and food deposits on the burner surface and the burner air inlets to increase airflow.
Griddle Surface
- The Hot Plate of your griddle is ceramic-coated. Ceramic is not completely scratch-resistant and can chip if using metal utensils. The best cooking utensils to use are wood, silicone, or nylon, as these materials will reduce wear on the cooking surface. (E)
- The care of the Hot Plate is a continuous process that must be repeated over the life of your griddle to ensure the best cooking experience and longest life of use. It is important to clean and add a very minimal amount of oil to the Hot Plate after each use to maintain the non-stick cooking surface.
Follow the steps below after every cook
- Turn off the heat from cooking.
- Allow the grill to cool to a point where it is safe for cleaning, but still warm. Then, use a griddle scraper or wooden utensil with a flat edge, to scrap off any excess food or grease from the cooking surface.
- Spray or add a bit of water to the surface to steam and loosen any stubborn areas. Wipe with a clean cloth or paper towel. Sometimes burnt grease or debris can be difficult to remove. Use the Louisiana Grills® Degreaser and the Louisiana Grills® Scrub Brush to help loosen some of the burnt-on material.
- Allow the griddle to cool completely. Add a small amount of oil to the Hot Plate and rub it around with a paper towel to all corners and edges. Wipe any excess oil from the surface. This creates a protective barrier on the surface from moisture.
Remove any food or build-up from the cooking surface. The best practice is to do this while it is still warm from a previous cook. Grease fires are caused by too much-fallen debris on the cooking components of the griddle. Clean the inside of your griddle consistently. In the event you experience a grease fire, carefully remove the food, and turn the griddle off. Lightly sprinkle baking soda, if available. Check your grease cup often, and clean out as necessary. (F) Keep in mind the type of foods that are cooked. Use a grill cover to protect your griddle for complete protection! A cover is your best protection against weather and outside pollutants. When not in use or for long-term storage, keep the unit under a cover in a garage or shed, with the gas cylinder removed (must be stored outdoors).
