Troubleshooting guide
Suburban griddle ignition, grease, or storage safety
Use this when a Suburban griddle does not ignite within 5 seconds, grease or oil catches fire, or storage is planned; Suburban says to turn controls off and wait 5 minutes after no ignition, not use water on a grease fire, and store the griddle only after it is off, cool, and at room temperature.
Use this atlas to identify likely meaning and prepare for service. Shut off power, LP gas, fuel, or water when a listed appliance condition involves flame, gas smell, exhaust, generator shutdown, high temperature, moving jacks/slides, refrigerant, 120 VAC, control boards, repeated ignition failure, or a persistent lockout. Call the appliance maker, RV dealer, or a qualified RV technician for repair.
Owner-safe checklist
- If ignition does not occur within 5 seconds, turn the control OFF and wait 5 minutes before another normal attempt.
- Do not lean over the griddle while lighting.
- For a grease fire, turn burners and gas source off only if safe, call the fire department, and do not use water.
- Let the griddle cool before moving or storage; store it only when off, disconnected from the low-pressure gas source, and at room temperature.
