Magigriddle Assembly Instructions
For RMB, SMB and 600 Series grill models: Refer to the drawing on page 2 when following
these assembly instructions for your new Magigri ddle. The griddle must be cool in order to work
on it. Take the two long bolts (3-1/2 inch) and thread a nut onto each to about an inch from the
end, and then place a lockwasher on each bolt. Thread these long bolt assemblies into the rear
bolt holes of the griddle, but don’t tighten them ye t. There are some initial bolt adjustments shown
on the drawing. Take two of the short (2 inch ) bolts and place one lockwasher only on each, then
thread them all the way into the front bolt holes of the griddle. T he top (broiling) grid must be
removed first before the Magigriddle will fit. Place the Magigriddle onto the COLD grill and place a
torpedo level or short carpenter’s level on the griddle surface. Adju st the long rear bolts until the
griddle is perfectly level from front to back and from side to side (so t hat grease won’t puddle at
the back and cooking liquids won ’t spill over t he front edge). When the adj ustment is correct,
remove the Magigriddle without disturbing the bolt adjustments and se t it down. While holding the
rear bolts with a wrench, tighten the jam nut and lockwasher to lock the adjustment in place. Place
the Magigriddle onto the co ld grill and pull it forward so it’s aga inst the front grid hooks. The open
space at the back allows flue gases to escape.
For RMB-APM and SMB-APM models: Refer to the drawing on page 2 when following these
assembly instructions for your new Magigriddle. The griddle must be cool in order to work on it.
Take two of the short (2 inch) bolts and th read a nut and then a lockw asher onto each. Thread
these two bolts into the rear bolt holes of the Magigriddle so t hat the head of the adjusting bolt is
about even with the bottom of the griddle (as s hown on the drawing). Take the two remaining
short bolts and thread them into the front bolt holes without any nut or lockwasher. The top
(broiling) grid must be removed first before the M agigriddle will fit. Place the Magigriddle onto the
COLD grill an d place a torpedo leve l or short carpent er’s level on the griddl e surface. Adjust the
long rear bolts until the griddle is perfectly level from front to back and from side to side (so that
grease won’t pudd le at the back and cooking liquids won ’t spill over the front edge). When the
adjustment is correct, remove the Magigriddle witho ut disturbing the bolt adjustments and set it
down. While holding the rear bol ts with a wrench, tighten the ja m nut and lockwasher to lock the
adjustment in place. Place the M agigriddle onto the cold grill and pu ll it forward so it’s against the
front grid hooks. The open space at the back allows flue gases to escape.
Cleaning and Seasoning: Your new MagiGriddle is preser ved with pure soybean oil shortening
and wrapped in heavy plastic after manufacture. After removing all of the plastic wrapping, there
are two popular methods to remove the preserva tive shortening. One method is to wash the
griddle down with hot water and dishwashing detergent, rinse thoroughly in hot water and then dry
the griddle immediately to avoid rust spots. T he second method is to cook the shortening off on
the charbroiler. When all the s hortening is gone, the griddle shou ld be allowed to cool to a
temperature where it can be safely wiped down with a wet cloth or sponge until clean.
Lastly, you’ll want to season the griddle as you would a good iron skillet or conventional
griddle. The griddle is ready to begin cooking.
