Do not permit air to blow directly at the griddle. Avoid open windows next to the griddle wherever possible. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross-currents within the room. This griddle is Design Certified for installation on a non -combustible counter with 4” legs, or combustible floor with a stand.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnecting. Reconnect the restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and returning the griddle to its installation position. Casters are only supplied on a griddle stand. If the griddle is moved for any reason the griddle should be re-leveled (see LEVELING in this manual).
GAS PRESSURE REGULATION The VCCG griddle is constructed with internal gas regulators on each bur ner valve. The valves are pre set to 4” W.C. on natural gas units or 10” W.C. on propane gas units. An external gas regulator is not required as long as the gas pressure supplied to the unit is not greater than ½...
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before fir st use, and after every cleaning. This will also help reduce the sticking of cooked food product. Heat griddle to a low temperature (300-350°F) and apply a small amount of cooking oil – about one ounce per square foot of surface.
to ignite the pilot. Once the pilot is lit and recognized by the igniter safety, the light will illuminate a steady green color. The pilot must be ignited (burning) and the igniter cycle light must be emitting a steady green color before the griddle burner will be allowed to ignite.
SHUTDOWN OF GRIDDLE Push the power switch to the OFF position, all lights should go off indicating that the griddle is no longer heating. EXTENDED SHUTDOWN OF GRIDDLE 1. Push the power switch to the OFF position 1. Shut the main gas supply valve to the OFF position. 2.

To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures: AFTER EACH USE Clean the griddle cooking surface accordingly to the type of surfa ce on your model. See the specific cleaning instructions by cooking surface finish. Empty the grease drawer throughout the day as needed.
CLEANING THE OPTIONAL CHROME GRIDDLE PLATE COOKING SURFACE AFTER EACH USE Clean the griddle cooking surface regularly with a palmetto brush and a bladed griddle scraper during the work shift. Never use an abrasive scouring pad or griddle brick on a chrome plate surface.
ADJUSTMENTS CALIBRATION 1. Each thermostat controls a 12” zone of the griddle. Using a Surface Probe temperature measurement device, observe the temperatures at the center points of the cooking zones. These points are located by starting 6” f rom the side splash (left or right) and every 12”...
LEVELING The griddle must be level (side-to-side and front-to-back) during operation to ensure proper performance. Improper leveling can result in uneven temperature distribution, cold spots, and possibly damage electrical components. 1. Place a level on the griddle. 2. Adjust legs by turning the bullet feet at the bottom of each leg. Using pliers or a crescent wrench, turn the feet counter -clockwise to increase height, and clockwise to decrease height until leveling is achieved.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSES 1. Cooking surface temp is above set point . Heat does not come on 2. Pilot burner not lit. when individual 3. Problem with burner solenoid valves. (Call for service) thermostat knob is set 4. Problem with thermocouple. (Call for service) 5.
