Initial Seasoning:

Before first use, and periodically thereafter, it is crucial to season the griddle top. This process creates a non-stick surface and protects the griddle from rust.

1. Clean the griddle surface thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse completely. Dry it off.
2. Turn all burners to high heat and allow the griddle to heat until the surface changes color (typically a brownish-gold hue).
3. Apply a thin, even layer of high smoke point oil (like vegetable oil, flaxseed oil, or the included Blackstone griddle seasoning) across the entire griddle surface using a paper towel or cloth held with tongs.
4. Allow the oil to burn off completely until smoking stops. The surface will darken.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 at least 3-4 more times, or until the griddle surface is uniformly black. This indicates a well-seasoned surface.

Resolució de problemes

• Griddle not heating evenly: Ensure the griddle is level. Check that all burners are fully open and clear of debris. The independent burners allow for creating different heat zones, which might appear as uneven heating if not managed intentionally.
• Food sticking to the griddle: This often indicates insufficient seasoning or an uneven seasoning layer. Re-season the griddle following the steps in the 'Setup' section. Ensure a thin layer of oil is applied before each cooking session.
• Excés de fum durant la cocció: A small amount of smoke is normal, especially during seasoning or when cooking fatty foods. Excessive smoke might indicate too much oil or grease on the griddle, or that the griddle needs cleaning.
• Burners not igniting: Check the propane tank connection and ensure the gas valve is fully open. Verify that the ignitor button is being pressed firmly while turning the control knob. If the ignitor is faulty, it may need replacement.
