UNPACKING
This griddle top was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company
assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of shipment. Check for
possible shipping damage immediately after unpacking. If the griddle is found to be
damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
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
Remove all packaging material and protective plastic from the unit. It is recommended
that you clean your Vulcan GTS griddle top thoroughly with a mild soap and water. Wipe
the griddle surface thoroughly with water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.
SEASONING THE GRIDDLE
Each time, before turning the unit on, apply high temperature cooking oil – about two
ounces per GTS top plate. Work the oil into the whole griddle surface.
After cleaning your griddle with chemicals, you should repeat the seasoning procedure for
proper cooking.
CONTROLS
The heavy duty electric griddle top section is independently controlled by a power
switch, thermostat and high limit cutoff switch. When the power switch (red rocker
switch) is turned ON, the left amber light will illuminate and power will be supplied to the
thermostat. The thermostat cover must be removed to access the thermostat adjustment
knob.
When the thermostat is turned ON, the amber indicator light to the right of the power
switch will illuminate to indicate that the element is on. When the griddle plate reaches
the desired temperature set point, the element will be turned off and the amber indicator
light will go off. The high limit cutoff switch is a safety feature that will cut power to the
heating element to prevent overheating. The high limit switch can be reset by depressing
the high limit reset button. At the end of each day, you must push the power switch to the
OFF position to turn off power to the griddle top section. See Fig. A.
