Vulcan 972RX-30 Description
Operated manually or with electronic spark, the Vulcan 972RX-30 gas griddle features dual ignition and a manual gas inlet shutoff. If the pilot light goes out, the griddle’s pilot safety valve blocks gas flow to prevent leaks. It has six burners, each of which is controlled separately to provide multiple cook zones. It’s operated with embedded thermostats, each of which is shielded from accidental impact by a chromes knob guard.
To protect nearby surfaces, the Vulcan 972RX-30 countertop gas griddle has built-in bottom heat shields and features a wraparound splash guard with tapered sides. Excess grease from cooking products is collected in a 31⁄2-inch-wide grease gutter and directed into two 6-quart stainless steel drawers for storage. Preventing accidental burns, its bull-nose design stays cool during cooking. Made of polished steel, the griddle surface is 1 inch thick and releases food smoothly to streamline cleaning.
