OPERATION
The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the griddle.
Disconnect power supply and follow lockout / tagout procedures before cleaning and servicing the appliance.
BEFORE FIRST USE
It is recommended that you clean your Vulcan RRE 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 temp. cooking 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.
CONTROLS
Each thermostat independently controls a 12” wide griddle section. When each thermostat is turned ON, the corresponding red indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the elements are on for that section. When the griddle plate reaches the desired temperature set point, the elements will be turned off for that section and the indicator light will go off. At the end of each day, you must turn all the thermostats to the OFF position to turn off the unit.
USING THE GRIDDLE
To preheat, set the thermostats for the desired temperatures
A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent product results.
The griddle plate is a composite material which is engineered to provide a high heat transfer rate to the food. The top surface is stainless steel and can be scored or dented by careless use of a spatula or scraper. Be careful not to dent, scratch, or gouge the plate surface. Do not try to knock off loose food that may be on the spatula by tapping the corner or the edge of the spatula on the griddle surface. Do not use hardened steel spatulas. Use mild steel spatulas with rounded corners.
