Troubleshooting
Griddle not heating evenly
Ensure the griddle is level. Check that the propane tank is not empty and that the gas flow is consistent to all burners. Clean any debris from burner ports.
Food sticking to the surface
Preheat the griddle adequately before adding food. Ensure the stick-resistant surface is clean and free from old food particles. Use a small amount of cooking oil if necessary for very delicate items.
Difficulty igniting burners
Check that the propane tank is connected securely and the valve is open. Ensure the igniter is clean and properly aligned with the burner. If using a manual ignition method, use a long lighter to ignite the gas.
Uneven searing
Ensure the griddle has reached its optimal cooking temperature before placing food. Do not overcrowd the griddle, as this can lower the temperature and affect searing.
