This appliance is safety certified for use in the United States and/or

Canada only. Do not modify for use in any other location. Modification will

result in a safety hazard and void warranty.

INSTALLATION SAFETY

Appliance installation must

conform with local codes, or in

the absence of local codes, with

either the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1/ NFPA 54, Natural

Gas and Propane Installation Code,

CSA B149.1, or Propane Storage

and Handling Code, B149.2, or the

Standard for Recreational Vehicles,

NFPA 1192, and CSA Z240 RV

Series, Recreational Vehicle Code, as

applicable.

LOW HEAT:

Cooks slowly and requires more

time.

Breaks down connective tissue

and fat for a tender, moist meal.

• Fatty, thick cuts of meat.

(eg: chuck steak, brisket, chicken

thighs, short ribs)

• Delicate seafood

(eg: octopus, squid)

MEDIUM HEAT:

Stable heat, takes the average

time you’d expect for pancakes,

eggs, toast, and more.

For food more susceptible to heat.

Sear without overcooking.

• Fish (whole or in pieces)

• Most seafood

• Vegetables

(steam with the Blackstone

Basting Dome for best avor)

• Pancakes

• Eggs

HIGH HEAT:

Cooks meals fast and in little time.

Slow cooking would dry up these

cuts and make them horrible to eat

since they are lower on fat.

• Lean cuts of meat.

(eg: chicken breast, tenderloin,

skirt steak, ank)

FIRST TIME CLEANING

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.

THIS IS THE ONLY TIME YOU

SHOULD USE SOAP ON THE

GRIDDLE COOKING SURFACE.

Rinse and dry completely. Proceed

with seasoning instructions. (Please

reference the Griddle Seasoning

Instructions section.)

PROTECTING YOUR

GRIDDLE TOP

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.

CUTTING ON THE

GRIDDLE TOP

Using a knife directly on the surface

of the griddle will not harm the

griddle top.

REMOVING RUST

If rust appears on the griddle surface,

rub it o with steel wool, low grit

sandpaper or the Blackstone

Pumice Stone and re-season

the surface.

!WARNING

NEVER APPLY COLD

WATER ACROSS THE

WHOLE SURFACE OF A

HOT GRIDDLE AT ONCE.

This may cause warping.

Adding a large amount

of cold or frozen food (or

food with significant water

content) to a hot griddle may

cause griddle to warp.

!CAUTION

DO NOT USE SOAP ON

THE GRIDDLE COOKING

SURFACE. This will destroy

the griddle’s seasoning.

STEP  Season the sirloin steaks with salt and black pepper, making sure
