Frequently Asked Questions - CBGHD48 Vollrath

How to light the pilot light of the CBGHD48 griddle?

Wait 5 minutes after any gas interruption. Hold a flame above the desired burner while gently turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise to adjust the flame. Repeat for each pilot light.

What type of gas to use with this model?

The unit is shipped configured for natural gas (1035 BTU/cubic foot). It can be converted to liquid propane using the provided conversion kit. Conversion must be performed by a qualified technician.

How to convert the griddle from natural gas to propane?

Follow the instructions included in the conversion kit. Conversion must be carried out by a qualified technical agent in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code.

Why is the cooking surface smoking excessively?

This may be due to a dirty surface or too high a temperature. Let it cool, clean the surface while hot, and season it. Also check ventilation (at least 6 inches clearance at the rear).

How to clean the griddle grates?

For daily cleaning, scrub hot grates (around 300°F / 148°C) with a grill brush or brick. Do not use steel wool or soapy chemicals. Then apply a thin film of food-grade oil to prevent corrosion.

What to do if the main burner does not light?

Check if the pilot light is on. If it is off, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, then relight it. If the problem persists, the orifice may be clogged or the air shutter misadjusted; contact a qualified technician.

Should the grates be seasoned before first use?

Yes, after the burn-in (heat on high for 30 min), apply food-grade oil to the grates, heat on medium for 30 min, let cool and wipe off excess. Repeat once.

What is the burn-in procedure for the griddle?

Turn the burner knob to the maximum setting and let it heat for about 30 minutes to burn off manufacturing residues. A slight odor is normal. Then turn off and proceed with grate seasoning.

How to adjust the legs to level the griddle?

Start by hand-tightening each leg. Then turn each adjustable leg (located at each corner) to adjust level in all directions. Use a bubble level.

Where to find spare parts for this model?

Spare parts are available on Vollrath.com. For any repairs, contact Vollrath technical services providing the item number and serial number.
