Vulcan 972RX-30 Description
The Vulcan 972RX-30 gas griddle is thermostatically controlled and has six individual control knobs each protected by a chromed guard that prevents users from accidentally striking against the knobs and changing the settings. Enabling users to cook various types of food at different temperatures on different parts of the grill’s surface, each thermostat is individually controlled. For comfortable use, the grill’s cook surface is just 11 inches high and rests on 4-inch steel legs that can be adjusted to ensure stability.
The Vulcan 972RX-30 gas griddle cooks food on its steel griddle plate, which is polished smooth to prevent food from sticking and streamline cleanup. Producing 162,000 BTUs, the griddle’s six burners are aluminized to evenly spread heat and resist corrosion. To prevent gas from leaking if the pilot light goes out, a pilot safety valve is built in to cut the flow of gas. Adding support to the griddle’s structure, it has a fully welded aluminized and stainless steel chassis frame.
