Description of Cuisinart CGG-888 Griddle Cooking Center

The Cuisinart CGG-888 Griddle Cooking Center is a versatile outdoor cooking solution, perfect for preparing breakfast items, stir-fries, vegetables, meats, and more. The cold-rolled steel cooktop offers superior heat retention and even cooking, while the two independent burners allow for precise temperature control. The griddle features a built-in propane tank storage, easy-to-use grease management system, and two side tables for added workspace.

CONNECTING REGULATOR TO THE LP TANK

This gas griddle is set to operate with Liquid Propane Gas come with a high capacity hose and regulator assembly. (Note: Only use the pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the griddle or a replacement pressure regulator and hose assembly specified by the manufacturer). This assembly is designed to connect directly to a standard 20 lb. L.P. Tank. L.P. tanks are not included with the griddle. L.P. tanks can be purchased separately at an independent dealer.

A 20 lb. LP tank must be properly secured onto grill. Insert tank into grill base. Bring gas cylinder hook down to secure the tank.
Check the tank valve to ensure it has proper external mating threads to fit the hose and regulator assembly provided (Type 1 connection per ANSI Z21.89-2017 ).
Make sure all burner knobs are in the OFF position.
Remove the protective cap from the LP tank valve and coupling nut. And inspect the valve connection port of the regulator assembly. Look for damage or debris. Remove any debris. Inspect hose for damage. Never use damaged or plugged equipment.
Hold regulator by one hand in a straight line with LP tank valve and insert nipple into LP tank valve. Be sure the nipple is centered in the valve outlet. (see Fig. 2). Hand-tighten coupling nut clockwise until it comes to a full stop. DO NOT use tools!
Open the tank valve fully (counterclockwise).
Perform leak test before attempting to light your grill. See "CHECKING FOR LEAKS " on page 20. START

WARNING: The Type I connective coupling (see Fig. 4) supplied with your grill must not be replaced with a different type of grill/tank connection system. Removal will result in loss of warranty, gas leakage, fire and severe bodily harm.

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

DANGER: FOR YOUR SAFETY

Always perform leak tests outdoors ONLY in a well-ventilated area.
DO NOT smoke during leak test.
DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks
Never perform a leak test while the griddle is in use or while griddle is still hot.

WARNING: WHEN TO PERFORM A LEAK TEST

Every time prior to lighting the griddle, even if purchased fully assembled.
Repeat every time the LP gas cylinder is refilled or exchanged
Any time your griddle has been moved.
At least once per year or if your griddle has not been used for more than 60 days.

Perform Leak Test

Although all gas connections on the griddle are leak tested prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible shifts during shipment, installation or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the whole system for leaks and immediately check the system if the smell of gas is detected.

Create a mixture of 50% water and 50% liquid dishwashing soap.
Ensure all control knobs are set to the "OFF" position.
Turn ON LP gas tank at valve.
Brush soapy solution at all "X" locations
Check each place for growing bubbles. If "growing" bubbles appear, turn the Tank Valve off and DO NOT use your grill until the leak is repaired. A slight leak could cause a fire. If no bubbles appear after one minute, turn tank OFF, wash off soapy solution with cold water and towel dry.

L.P. TANK INFORMATION

Never use a dented or rusted L.P. tank or cylinder with a damaged valve.
L.P. cylinders are equipped with an O.P.D. (Overfilling Prevention Device). The device shuts off the flow of gas to a cylinder after 80% capacity is reached. This limits the potential for release of gas when the cylinder is heated, averting a fire or possible injury.
The L.P. cylinder must have a shut-off valve terminating in an L.P. gas supply cylinder outlet specified, as applicable, for connection No. 510 in the standard for compressed gas cylinder valve outlet and inlet connection ANSI/CGA-V-1. Cylinders must not be stored in a building, garage, or any other enclosed area. (The L.P. cylinder must have an overfill protection device and a collar to protect the cylinder valve.)
The L.P. gas supply cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for L.P. gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CAS-B339, "Cylinders, Spheres and Tubes for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods and Commission."

L.P. TANK USE

When turning the L.P. tank on, make sure to open the valve SLOWLY two (2) complete turns to ensure proper gas flow. Most gas tanks now come equipped with a leak detector mechanism internal to the tank. When gas is allowed to escape rapidly it shuts off the gas supply. Opening the valve rapidly may simulate a gas leak, causing the safety device to activate, and restricting gas flow causing low flames. Opening the valve slowly will ensure this safety feature is not falsely triggered.

When not in use, gas supply cylinder valve is to be in the OFF position.
Storage of an outdoor gas cooking appliance indoor is permissible only if the cylinder is disconnected and removed from the appliance.
The tank supply system must be stored upright to allow for vapor withdrawal.
The regulator and hose assembly must be inspected before each use of the grill. If there is excessive abrasion or wear or if the hose is cut, it must be replaced prior to the grill being used again.
Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.

If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

Place dust cap on cylinder valve outlet whenever the cylinder is not in use. Only install the type of dust cap on the cylinder valve outlet that is provided with the cylinder valve. Other types of caps or plugs may result in leakage of propane.
Only a qualified gas supplier should refill the L.P. tank.

WARNING: DO NOT store a spare L.P. gas tank under or near the grill. Never fill the cylinder beyond 80% full. If this information is not followed exactly, a fire causing death or serious injury may occur.

Cuisinart CGG-888 Griddle Cooking Center Lighting Instructions

WARNING

Read all instructions before lighting.
Make sure the gas control knob is in "OFF" position.
Compress the knob for three seconds to allow propane to flow into the burners. Slowly turn knob counterclockwise to "HIGH" position. The igniter will click and light the burner.
If ignition does not occur in 5 seconds, turn the gas control knob off, wait 5 minutes, and repeat steps 2 - 5. * Clean your griddle after each use.

MATCH LIGHTING

Open lid before lighting
Place a match in the end of Match Holder (hanging on the Right Front Leg). Strike the match and place it near side of the burner (see Fig.6)
Push and turn the control knob to HIGH. The burner should ignite.

NOTE: If the burner does not ignite within the first few attempts of match lighting, there is a problem with the gas supply. Turn off the gas at the burner and tank. DO NOT attempt to operate the griddle until the problem is found and corrected.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

We highly recommend this gas griddle be thoroughly inspected and serviced annually by a qualified service person.
Always check that the outdoor cooking appliance area is clear and free from combustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids before lighting.
Regularly check and clean the burner tubes for insects and insect nests. A clogged tube can lead to a fire beneath the griddle.
Regularly check that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.

WARNING
Ensure the griddle is cool before cleaning and conducting maintenance and with the gas supply turned off at the LP-Gas Cylinder. To avoid the possibility of burns, maintenance should be done only when the griddle is cool. Avoid unprotected contact with hot surfaces. A leak test must be performed annually and whenever any component of the gas train is replaced or gas smell is present. For your safety, always wear protective gloves and safety glasses when cleaning your griddle.

GREASE PAN AND CUP: The grease pan and cup should be kept clean on a regular basis to prevent heavy buildup of debris. Accumulated grease is a fire hazard. Important: DO NOT leave the griddle outside during inclement weather unless it is covered. Rain water can collect inside of the griddle, the griddle body or the grease pan and cup if left uncovered.
STAINLESS STEEL LID AND CONTROL PANEL" After initial usage, areas of the griddle may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners. To clean, purchase a mild stainless steel cleaner and rub in the direction of the grain of the metal. Discoloration may still be present, this is normal.
NOTE: Always scrub in the direction of the grain.
PAINTED SURFACES: Wash with mild detergent or nonabrasive cleaner and warm soapy water. Wipe dry with a soft nonabrasive cloth.
IGNITOR: In order to prevent cracking of the burner's ceramic ignitor surfaces, never allow hard objects to the strike the ceramic ignitor. This will cause the burners to malfunction. Care should be taken when inserting or removing the griddle plate and accessories into or from the griddle. If hard objects fall onto the ceramic ignitor, it is likely to crack the ceramic. Damage resulting from failure to follow these steps is not covered under the warranty.
GRIDDLE SEASONING: In this case we are not talking about salt and pepper. We are talking about the process of conditioning your griddle surface for optimal performance and longevity. Seasoning your griddle will help create a non-stick surface for cooking while also protecting it from any rust. It's worth the effort. When you receive your griddle it will already have a thin layer of oil applied. We do this to protect from rust in shipping and storing, but it's going to need a little more work to perfect it.

First Seasoning of Cuisinart CGG-888 Griddle Cooking Center

This is the most important one so let's get this right. You'll want to start by using some soapy water and a towel or paper towels to wash off the shipping oil. Use additional water to wash the soap from the griddle surface. Dry the surface with a towel or paper towels. This gives you a fresh and clean start.
Next, you'll want to select your oil. We believe that flax seed oil is going to give you the best results, but feel free to use Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Vegetable Oil or Soy Oil.
Now we can season. In this process you'll be using high heat to bond the oil to the surface. Using a paper towel rub a thin coat of oil on the entire surface of the griddle. Then turn your griddle on high. The oil will eventually begin to smoke which is good. Leave it on high until the smoke stops. That means you passed the smoke point.
Finally, you'll want to cool the surface and repeat the process above 2 - 3 times until you get a smooth black surface on the griddle. If the griddle surface is hot you can use tongs or other protective gear to protect your hands while oiling.
Once you've completed this process you'll have the perfect griddling surface to get cooking on!

NOTE: When seasoning your cooktop, make sure the oil is in a thin, even layer. Do not allow oil to puddle or leave any heavy streaks on the surface, as this can lead to a gummy cooktop. After extended use, you may notice that some of your seasoning is wearing off. This is normal and can be fixed by cleaning the cooktop and repeating the seasoning process 2-3 times.

Preheating Instructions

Food cooks faster with a preheated cooking surface. By preheating your griddle cooking surface to about 300° F, you can start cooking immediately and properly.
To preheat your griddle cooking surface, leave the lid on the griddle plate and turn the gas control knobs to a medium heat for approximately 8- 10 minutes. Using protective gloves, remove the lid from the cooking surface.

WARNING: Make sure to use protective gloves as griddle lid and body will be warm to the touch. For convenience, the lid is designed to hook onto the right side of the grease tray. We recommended positioning the lid towards the side or back of your griddle while cooking.

NOTE: Avoid placing the lid hook directly on or near the grease cup.

CLEANING AND CARE

Griddles are remarkably easy to keep clean. After you've completed your first cook you'll want to spray down the hot surface with water and scrape debris away. The steam from the water on the hot surface will help release tough debris.
Scrape the residue down into the grease cup.
Turn the griddle off and let the surface cool. While it cools you'll want to remove and clean out the grease cup. Doing this each time will ensure you have no spill over the next time.
When the surface is cool, apply a thin layer of oil over the surface to maintain your seasoning. Then you'll want to store in a cool dry place. If you're storing outside cover the griddle to prevent water collecting on the surface.
Even if your surface does start to rust all hope is not lost. Griddles are very resilient and with a little work you can get it back to new. Simply use a steel scouring pad to remove all rust from the surface. Then go through the seasoning steps again. This will recondition the griddle and you'll be back to cooking again in no time.
We recommend using a grill mat or pad under your griddle to catch any oil that may drip over while cooking.

WARNING: Clean griddle in an area where cleaning solutions will not harm decks, lawns, or patios. DO NOT use oven cleaner to clean any part of this griddle. DO NOT use a self-cleaning oven to clean the griddle cooking surface or any other parts of the griddle. Barbecue sauce and salt can be corrosive and will cause rapid deterioration of the griddle components unless cleaned regularly.

Cleaning Main Burner

To prevent flash backs and good performance of burner, the procedure below should be followed at least once a month in late summer or early fall when spiders are most active or when your griddle has not been used for a period of time:

Turn off at control knobs and LP cylinder.
Remove cooking grates and flame tamers
Remove cotter pins from rear of burners. Detach ignition wire from the ignition pin by hand only.
WARNING: DO NOT use tool. Then Lift burner slowly.
Check all burner ports are clear of clogs. Use of a pin or paper clip works well.
Ensure the end of the burner and primary air screen are clear from insect nests, dirt or debris. Using a bent stiff wire in the shape of a hook, or a bottle brush, run it through the burner tube and inside several times to remove any debris.
Inspect each burner for damage (cracks or holes) and if such damage is found, order and install a new burner.

STORAGE

Ensure the griddle is properly cooled.
Storage of this griddle indoors is permissible only if the gas cylinder is disconnected and removed from the griddle.
Store the griddle in a cool dry place.
Always disconnect the gas cylinder and store it in a safe place, never store a gas cylinder on its side.
Never store a gas cylinder in a building, garage or any other enclosed area.
If you intend to leave your griddle outside make sure it is protected from the elements by a heavy-duty cover (not included).
Keep outdoor cooking griddle area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
Although the griddle is manufactured from quality materials, including some parts manufactured from stainless steel, storage out in the open may result in corrosion of some exterior surfaces or components. We recommend you protect your griddle from the weather by covering it with a griddle cover, tarp, or other protective material or device.
In addition, a commercial stainless steel cleaner or wipe will keep the stainless steel components maintain their as-new appearance.
