BEFORE FIRST USE

Remove all packaging material and protective plastic from the unit. It is recommended that you clean your Vulcan VMCS griddle top thoroughly with a mild soap and water. Wipe the griddle surface thoroughly with water and wipe dry with a soft clean cloth.

Each time, before turning the unit on, apply high temperature cooking oil – about two ounces per VMCS 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.

The flat cooking surface units feature the Rapid Recovery™ plate which is a composite material with a stainless steel surface. The grooved cooking surface units have plates composed of standard, carbon steel. Both cooking surfaces 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.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING The griddle and its parts are hot. Use care when operating, cleaning or servicing the griddle.

Clean the electric griddle top regularly. A clean griddle always looks better, lasts longer and performs better. To produce evenly cooked, perfectly browned griddle products keep the griddle plate clean and free of carbonized grease. Carbonized grease on the surface hinders the transfer of heat from the griddle surface to the food, resulting in spotty browning and loss of cooking efficiency. Carbonized grease tends to cling to griddle foods, giving them a highly unsatisfactory and unappetizing appearance.

To keep the griddle clean and operating at peak efficiency, follow these procedures:

AFTER EACH USE

Clean the electric griddle top with a griddle scraper during the work shift. Keep the griddle scraper head flat to avoid scratching or gouging the plate. Use a cooking release agent to prevent product from sticking to the griddle top cooking surface.

ONCE PER DAY

Thoroughly clean all stainless steel exterior panels and surfaces. Clean the cooking surface with a non-metallic scouring pad (Scotch-Brite™).

ONCE PER WEEK

Clean the griddle surface thoroughly. A mild detergent solution may be used on the plate surface to help clean it, but be sure the detergent is thoroughly removed by wiping down with clear water. After removal of detergent from the surface of the plate, the griddle should be coated with cooking oil according to the instructions in this manual. Clean stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and polish with a soft dry cloth. To remove discoloration, use a griddle cleaner. If the griddle usage is very high, consider conducting this weekly cleaning procedure more than once per week.

Do not use a brick or griddle stone for cleaning.

Do not use metallic scouring pads for cleaning.

Do not use a water-jet to clean the griddle.

Do not use chlorine sanitizer in contact with griddle. Contact can cause discoloration, corrosion and permanent damage.

Do not use cleaning agents including Sodium Hydroxide, which is common in household oven cleaners. Contact can cause discoloration, corrosion and permanent damage.

CARE AND CLEANING OF TEFLON WRAP

  1. In between cooking runs and during idle periods, the Teflon sheet should be wiped off with water and a clean soft cloth.
  2. After each day the Teflon sheet should be removed from the platen(s), disassembled and placed in water with mild soap solution (no abrasive or harsh chemical cleaners should be used). Gently wash both sides of the Teflon sheet and the hardware with the soft clean cloth in the mild soap solution.
  3. Using water, rinse the Teflon sheet and hardware thoroughly on both sides.
  4. Dry the Teflon sheet and hardware using a clean soft cloth.
  5. Before reassembling the Teflon sheet to the platen, clean the platen as described in Care and Cleaning section.

SHUTDOWN OF GRIDDLE

  1. Set the power switch to the OFF position. This will shut down the griddle top completely.
  2. Leave unit in the raised, 53^ position.

EXTENDED SHUTDOWN

  1. Set the power switch to the OFF position. This will shut down the griddle top completely.
  2. Leave unit in the raised, 53° position.
  3. Apply a light coating of cooking oil on the grooved (steel) plate to inhibit rust.
  4. Shut off the main electrical supply
