ASSEMBLY
Installation of Standard Griddle Top Bricks
The griddle top section is extremely heavy. It will require three people to install the griddle and griddle
brick — two people to lift the griddle plate and one person to set the bricks and griddle thermostat
capillary bulb(s) in place.
The range griddle top section utilizes a two-fold baffle assembly to support the composite/mortar fire
bricks. There will always be only one small 6
1
⁄2" (16 cm) wide baffle assembly with every griddle top
order. There will be at least one 9
7
⁄8" (24 cm) wide baffle assembly per griddle, possibly more,
depending on the griddle width.
The 6
1
⁄2" (16 cm) wide baffle will utilize two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm), and two 7" x 4" (17 cm x 10 cm)
brick sets.
The 9
7
⁄8" (25 cm) wide baffle assembly will utilize two 10" x 4" (25 cm x 10 cm), and two 7" x 4"
(17 cm x 10 cm) brick sets.
1. The griddle bricks are shipped in a rectangular cardboard box. Locate the box and carefully
inspect quantities as explained above.
NOTE: If a brick has been broken into two pieces, it can still be used. Just place the pieces into
position as shown in Fig. 1. However, if a brick is broken into more than two pieces, it will need
to be replaced. Contact your local Vulcan servicer.
2. Clean anti-rust coating from top of griddle, following the procedures described in the
CLEANING - GRIDDLE PLATE section of this manual.
3. Remove griddle plate. With one person at either side of the griddle, gently lift griddle straight up.
DO NOT pull griddle forward until the third person has checked to ensure that the capillary
bulb(s) (thermostatically controlled models only) are freed from the underside of the griddle plate.
If bulb(s) are still attached to the griddle, pull capillary bulb(s) wire gently through the “V” shield(s)
until the bulbs are free.
