Settings and Functions

Lighting Burners

All burners are ignited by electric
ignition. There are no open-
flame, "standing" pilots.
Surface Burners-Automatic
Reignition
To light the surface burners, push and turn the
appropriate control knob counterclockwise to any
position. This control is both a gas valve and an
electric switch. Burners will ignite at any "ON" posi-
tion with the automatic re-ignition system. If the
flame goes out for any reason, the burners will au-
tomatically re-ignite if the gas is still flowing. When
gas is permitted to flow to the burners, the electric
igniters start sparking. On all surface igniters you
should hear a "clicking" sound. If you do not, turn
off the control and check that the unit is plugged in
and that the fuse or circuit breaker is not blown or
tripped.
Within a few moments, enough gas will have
traveled to the burner to light. When the burner
lights, turn the burner control to any position to
adjust the flame size. Setting the proper flame
height for the desired cooking process and
selecting the correct cooking vessel will result in
superior cooking performance, while also saving
time and energy.
Griddle
(VDSC536T-4G, VDSC548-4GQ, VDSC548-6G)
The optional 15,000 BTU griddle is constructed
of machined steel with a blanchard finish and
is uniquely designed to offer excellent cooking
performance as well as easy cleanup. The griddle is
equipped with an electronic thermostat to maintain
an even temperature across the griddle once the
desired temperature has been set. The griddle has
a power "ON" indicator light which glows when
the griddle thermostat has been turned on. This
will cycle on and off as needed to indicate the
thermostat is maintaining the selected temperature.

Char-Grill

(VDSC536T-4Q, VDSC548-4GQ, VDSC548-6Q)
The optional 18,000 BTU char-grill is equipped with
a single piece, heavy-duty porcelainized cast-iron
grill grate for easy movement of grilling items.
Beneath the grill grate is a slotted porcelainized
flavor-generator plate which is designed to catch
drippings and circulate a smoke flavor back into
the food. Beneath the flavor-generator plate is a
two-piece drip pan which catches any drippings
that might pass beyond the flavor-generator plate.
This unique grilling system is designed to provide
outdoor-quality grilling indoors.
