STANDS
The griddle has an optional stainless steel stand with locking casters.
GAS CONNECTIONS
Gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be
resistant to the action of propane gases.
Use a ¾” NPT gas supply line for the griddle inlet, located at the rear of the griddle. All
flexible and semi-rigid gas supply lines must comply with the applicable ANSI standard.
To ensure maximum operating efficiency this appliance must be connected with a gas
supply line of solid pipe or a commercial type Flexible Connector with the net inside
diameter (I.D.) as large as or larger than the gas pipe inlet on this appliance. Codes
require that a gas shutoff valve must be installed in the gas line upstream of the griddle.
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks.
Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.
After checking for leaks all lines receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
When the gas supply pressure exceeds ½ psig (3.45 kPa), the griddle and its individual
shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When the gas supply pressure is ½ psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the griddle should be isolated
from the gas supply system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve.

- 7-
GAS PRESSURE REGULATION
The VCCG griddle is constructed with internal gas regulators on each burner valve. The
valves are pre set to 4” W.C. on natural gas uni ts 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 flexible 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 remove 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.

- 8-
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Season the griddle to avoid possible surface corrosion before first 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. Use a soft lint-free cloth to spread the oil over the entire
griddle surface to create a thin film. Wipe off any excess oil with a cloth. Repeat the
procedure until the griddle has a slick, mirror-like finish.
CONTROLS
POWER SWITCH
The VCCG turns off and on by a single power switch. Pushing the power switch to the
ON position is all that is required to put the unit into production once the thermostats
have been set.
IGNITER CYCLE LIGHT
The igniter cycle light is a clear hole where the user can view the diagnostic LED on the ignition
module. In order to view the light, user must have a straight line of sight through the hole to be able to
see the green or red light.
The igniter cycle lights are located at the 8 o’clock position to each corresponding
thermostat knob. There is one pilot and one igniter cycle light for each burner (12” section
of griddle). Once the power switch has been pushed to the ON position, the igniters will
begin to ignite the pilots. The igniter cycle light will flash the color green while attempting
Power Switch

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.
If the pilot fails to ignite after approximately 90 seconds, the igniter cycle light will
illuminate a flashing red color that indicates the pilot did not ignite. Pushing the power
switch to the OFF position and then back to the ON position will restart the pilot ignition
cycle and the pilots will attempt to ignite again.
THERMOSTAT KNOB
Each 12” section of the griddle is independently controlled by a solid state thermostat
control. The thermostats have an operating range of 150 to 550 degrees for standard
steel and chrome plate surfaces (150 to 450 degrees for Rapid Recovery™ composite
plate option). The thermostat knobs will need to be turned to a temperature setting for the
burners to ignite. Each 12” griddle section may be turned off independently by setting the
corresponding thermostat to the OFF position. You may also leave all thermostats set at
the desired settings and turn all sections off at once by pushing the power switch to the
OFF position.
THERMOSTAT CYCLE LIGHT
The thermostat cycle lights are located at the 12 o’clock position to each corresponding
thermostat knob. The light will illuminate when the surface cooking temperature drops
below the thermostat knob set point. The illumination of this light indicates that the burner
for that zone is lit.
STARTUP OF GRIDDLE
1. Set all thermostats to the desired temperature set points.
2. Push the power switch to the ON position. The red light behind the ON should
illuminate indicating that electrical power is being supplied to the unit.
3. If the thermostat cycle lights do not illuminate a steady red color within
approximately 90 seconds, push the power switch to OFF and back to ON again, this
will restart the pilot ignition cycle .This process may need to be repeated several times
on the initial installation of the griddle or if the griddle has been disconnected from the
gas supply.
4. Check that all thermostat cycle lights are illuminating a steady red color to verify that
all burners are lit and functioning properly.

- 10 -
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. Unplug the griddle electrical supply cord.
3. Apply a coat of vegetable oil over the griddle plate to inhibit rust.
USING THE GRIDDLE
To preheat, turn the burners on about 20 minutes before cooking.
A uniform and systematic approach to loading the griddle will produce the most consistent
product results.
The griddle plate is steel, but the surface is relatively soft 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. Use spatulas with rounded
edges. Do not use tempered steel utensils. Do not chop on the griddle cooking surface.
ZONE COOKING
This griddle features infrared box burners in 12” sections (U-shaped burners optional),
each controlled by independent thermostat controllers. Each 12” section is a separate
cooking zone, and allows for cooking a variety of products over a single griddle plate.
The chart is a suggested usage of zone cooking. When zone cooking, it is suggested that
you start with your lowest temperature setting at either side of the griddle, increasing the
zone temperature as you move up the zone line. Typically, the temperature differential
between the center of one cooking zone to the center of another zone that is directly
adjacent cannot be varied by more than 50 degrees. Some heat transfer from one area to
the next is to be expected. These zone cooking guidelines will vary depending on product
temperatures, size and shape. This guide should be adjusted to suit your product and
operational cooking preference.

corrosion and permanent damage.
Do not use cleaning agents including Sodium Hydroxide, which is common in household
oven cleaners. 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” from the
side splash (left or right) and every 12” across
the width of the griddle, with all points located
12” back from the front edge of the griddle
plate.
NOTE: Use of infrared thermometers is not
recommended. These devices are highly
sensitive to surface color (clean or dirty), angle
of reading and distance from the unit.
2. Set thermostats to 350°F and allow to stabilize,
allowing the burner to cycle ON and OFF at
least two times.
3. Watch for the thermostat cycle light to go OFF,
then measure the temperature for that zone.
The temperature should be 350°F ±10°F. If not,
continue to Step 4.
4. a. Carefully loosen the knob set
screw. DO NOT allow the knob to
turn. Carefully remove the knob
from the thermostat shaft,
exposing the temperature dial.
b. Loosen screws on the temperature
dial and adjust so the temperature
