RRG SERIES HEAVY DUTY GAS GRIDDLE - GENERAL
INTRODUCTION
This Service Manual covers specific service information related to the models listed on the front cover. Procedures in this manual will apply to all RRG
Heavy Duty Gas Griddles unless otherwise specified.
Raising of the griddle plate is not required for servicing the griddle components. Griddle components are serviced through the front and rear. Pictures and illustrations can be of any model unless the picture or illustration needs to be model specific.
The RRG, Rapid Recovery Griddle, plate is a composite material which is engineered to provide a high heat transfer rate to the food. The top surface can be scored or dented by careless use of a spatula or scraper. The center of the of the plate is an aluminum core with sheets of stainless steel laminated to the top and bottom exterior surfaces.
INSTALLATION
Generally, installations are made by the dealer or contracted by the dealer or owner. Detailed installation instructions are included in F-36981
Installation & Operation Manual that is sent with each unit.
It should be noted that an improperly installed unit, especially an unlevel unit can lead to premature electrical component failures. A unit that is higher in the front will cause the flue gases to vent improperly and gather in the front near the electrical components.
All RRG models must be installed with an externally mounted regulator.
The models, number of burners and BTU/HR input rating are listed under GENERAL in the Installation &
Operation Manual.
OPERATION
Detailed operation instructions are included in the
Installation & Operation Manual sent with each unit.
The manual is also available online at www.vulcanequipment.com.
The operation of the griddle controls, pilots and burners are outlined under CONTROLS in the
Installation & Operation Manual.

SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
CALIBRATION
NOTE: Ensure the griddle is level before performing calibration as outlined under LEVELING in the
Installation & Operation Manual.
NOTE: Do not use an infrared thermometer for measuring griddle surface temperatures. These devices are highly sensitive to surface color (clean or dirty), angle of reading and distance from the surface.
Use a temperature meter with surface probe for all griddle surface temperature measurments.
Fig. 20
1.
Each temperature controller controls a 12" zone of the griddle. Center point area of cooking zones are located 6" from the side splash (left or right), every 12" across the width of griddle, and 12" back from the front of griddle plate.
2.
Clean the center point areas of cooking zones to ensure good contact with surface probe.
3.
Set thermostats to 350°F and allow the indicator light to cycle ON and OFF at least three times to stabilize griddle surface temperatures.
4.
Monitor indicator light for the temperature controller calibration being checked. When the light cycles OFF, measure temperature for that zone and record.
• If tempereature measurement is 350°F ±5°F the control is propererly calibrated.
• If temperature measurement is outside of tolerance then temperature control must be calibrated.
CALIBRATING TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Never adjust the screw on the back side of the temperature controller. This will ruin the factory calibration; the temperature controller will no longer operate properly and will need to be replaced.
1.
Use the temperature scale on the overlay as a guide. Align the edge on a short piece of tape to
the temperature recorded in STEP 4 and apply
tape to knob as a reference point.
2.
Remove knob from temperature control shaft. Do not rotate the knob during removal.
3.
Loosen screws on the back of dial. With knob facing user, a clockwise rotation increases temperature and a counterclockwise rotation decrease temperature.
4.
Hold the knob and rotate dial to the edge of the tape used for reference. This adjustment offsets the indicated temperature on the dial to the actual temperature measured.
5.
Hold the dial and knob together to maintain the setting and tighten screws.
6.
Install the knob back onto the temperature control shaft.
7.
Repeat "TEMPERATURE CHECK." Adjust
calibration until temperature is within tolerance.

RRG SERIES HEAVY DUTY GAS GRIDDLE - SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
BURNER AIR SHUTTER
ADJUSTMENT
Disconnect the electrical power to the machine and follow lockout / tagout procedures.
Shut off the gas before servicing the unit.
Clean pipe threads and apply thread sealant that is suitable for use with propane gases.
All gas joints disturbed during servicing must be checked for leaks. Check with a soap and water solution (bubbles). Do not use an open flame.
The efficiency of the burner depends on a delicate balance between the air supply and volume of gas.
Whenever this balance is disturbed, poor operating characteristics and excessive gas consumption may occur. An air shutter on the front of the burner controls the gas mixer balance. A yellow streaming flame on the burner is an indication of insufficient primary air. A proper flame should be blue in color, well-defined and seated on the burner port. A white-blue flame is a result of excessive primary air.
1.
2.
Loosen the shutter screw and rotate the air shutter.
3.
Install burner.
4.

8.
Disconnect power.
9.
Remove burner, being sure to keep shutter in the current position.
10. Open the shutter slightly and tighten the shutter screw.
12. Test machine to verify proper operation.
NOTE: The factory default air shutter positions are half open natural; full open propane.
REGULATOR ADJUSTMENT
Shut off the gas before servicing the unit.
All gas joints disturbed during servicing must be checked for leaks. Check with a soap and water solution (bubbles). Do not use an open flame.
NOTE: Regulators come preset, but should be checked anytime one is installed. Before adjusting regulator, check incoming gas line pressure. Incoming pressure must be 7-14" W.C. for natural gas and
12-14" W.C. for propane gas. If incoming pressure is not correct, have the gas source checked and adjusted as necessary. Make sure the regulator is mounted in the horizontal position with the arrow pointing in the direction of gas flow. See unit data plate, riveted on right side panel towards front of unit, for manifold pressure setting information. Clean vent cap before adjusting.

RRG SERIES HEAVY DUTY GAS GRIDDLE - ELECTRICAL OPERATION
ELECTRICAL OPERATION
COMPONENT FUNCTION
Temperature Control . . . Controls griddle surface temperature for the individual heat zone by monitoring thermocouple input (K type ).
Temperature Probe . . . Senses griddle surface temperature for the heat zone using a K type thermocouple.
Provides input to the temperature control.
Power Switch . . . . . . . . Controls power to all electrical components (single solenoid valve, temperature control and ignition module) (SPST switch).
Indicator Light . . . . . . . When brightly lit, the light indicates temperature control is calling for heat (internal contacts closed) and ignition module output from pin 2 is on. Dual solenoid valve is energized (burner on).
The light will be dimly lit after the pilot burner is on.
The light is off during trial for ignition (pilot lighting) or when the pilot safety circuit is not satisfied (pilot not lit).
Ignition Module . . . . . . Controls and monitors gas heating. Generates spark to light gas at the pilot burner, monitors the presence of flame and energizes the dual solenoid valve upon a call for heat from the temperature control (continuous try module).
Ignitor/Flame Sense
Electrode . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ignites pilot burner and senses the presence of a flame. The Ignitor/Flame Sense is a component of the pilot burner.
Single Solenoid Valve . . . Controls gas to pilot burner. Single solenoid valve is energized when power switch is on.
Depending on the width of the griddle, there may not be a single solenoid valve. The solenoid valve used to control gas flow to the pilot burner may be one of the dual solenoid valves. Valves that control gas flow to the pilot burner have an adjustment screw for pilot flame height at the output on the valve body.
Dual Solenoid Valve(s) . . .Controls gas to burner. Dual solenoid valve is energized by the ignition module after pilot safety circuit is established (pilot lit) and temperature control is calling for heat. Depending on the width of the griddle, the dual solenoid valve can be used to control gas flow one of the main burners along with the pilot pilot burner.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Operation is the same for all griddle models. Each 12" heat zone on the griddle plate has its own temperature controller, indicator light and ignition system components. Refer to the wiring diagram for the model being serviced.
