OPERATION
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.
Disconnect power supply before cleaning and servicing the
appliance.
BEFORE FIRST USE
It is recommended that you clean your VULCAN RRG griddle thoroughly with a mild soap
and water. Rinse the griddle surface thoroughly with water and wipe dry with a soft clean
cloth.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Before turning the unit ON, apply a high temperature oil– about one ounce per square
foot of surface. DO NOT use plain vegetable oil as it is not stabilized for high heat and
may cause food stick and result in improperly cooked food. Turn the griddle ON and with
a regular wipe cloth; work the oil into the whole griddle surface for two minutes.
After cleaning your griddle with chemicals, you should repeat the seasoning procedure for
proper cooking.
DO NOT use hardened steel spatulas. Use mild steel spatulas with rounded corners.
CONTROLS
There is at least one pilot for every two burners. The 36” and 60” models have an odd
number of main burners, therefore one of the sets of pilots and one of the electronic
safety-ignition modules in these models will control only one main burner. The pilot
burners are aligned with pilot sight holes. The pilot burners are inset 12” from the front
panel.
This model features an electronic safety-ignition system that is controlled by the power
switch. Turning the power switch ON is all that is required to put the unit into service. The
power switch turns the pilot valve, the temperature controllers, the indicator lamps and
the electronic safety-ignition modules. When the unit turned ON, electronic safety-ignition
modules start generating sparks until the detection of a proven flame at the pilot burner.
Upon the flame rectification, electronic safety-ignition module energizes the solenoid gas
valve(s) for that specific zone(s).
The pilots are monitored by flame detection through igniters. If the pilot goes out, the
igniter will immediately reignite the pilot. If the pilot does not achieve reignition in a short
period of time, the electronic safety-ignition module will shut-off the gas supply to the
main burners and keeps generating sparks at the pilot burner.
Each 12” section of the griddle is independently controlled by a solid state temperature
controller and an embedded thermocouple. The temperature controllers have an operating
range of 150 to 450 degrees.
