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 psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C. The recommended supply pressure
(upstream of the griddle) should be 7-
9” W.C. for natural gas and 11-12” W.C. for propane
gas.
At no time should the griddle be connected to supply pressure greater than ½
psig (3.45 kPa) or 14” W.C.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Electrical and grounding connections must comply with the
applicable portions of the National Electrical Code and/or other local electrical
codes.
Disconnect the electrical power to the griddle and follow lockout /
tagout procedures.
Appliances equipped with a fl exible electric supply cord are provided
with a three-prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected into
a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper
grounding type, contact an electrician. Do not r emove the grounding prong from
this plug.
Power supply for electric ignition is 120 volts, 2 amp, 50/60 Hertz, 1 phase.
Do not connect the griddle to electrical supply until after gas connections are made.
OPERATION
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning
or servicing the griddle.
BEFORE FIRST USE
Remove all packing material and protective plastic from the surfaces of the unit. Before
leaving the factory the griddle is coated with vegetable oil as a rust inhibitor. Remove this
film when the griddle plate is being cleaned prior to its first cooking use. Heat the griddle
to 200-300°F to loosen and melt the coating, then clean the surface by adding water or
a non-corrosive, grease dissolving commercial cleaner, following the
manufacturer’s
directions. Scrape the oil residue from the plate with a griddle scraper. Rinse thoroughly
and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth. Clean all accessories.
