LongDescription#@#NA#@@#Cleaning Instructions#@#Unplug gas and shut off manifold valve before cleaning. Scrape griddle plate while warm to remove food debris, then apply a mild degreaser and rinse with warm water. Wipe edges, grease trough, and splash guards with non-abrasive cloth. Clean burner orifices and pilot assemblies with a soft brush; check millivolt pilot and spark ignition for residue. Vacuum condenser coils and inspect seals. Dry all surfaces thoroughly. Perform weekly heavy-duty degreasing to prevent grease buildup and fires.#@@#Additional Info#@#The Vulcan 972RX-NG features a 72" stainless steel griddle with a 1" polished steel plate and 162,000 BTU output, designed for heavy-duty use; it has thermostatic controls, millivolt pilot safety, and CSA/NSF certifications for reliable performance.#@@#General Info#@#Description #@#
Stop sacrificing throughput for control. This heavy-duty natural gas griddle delivers steady heat across a 72-inch cooking surface while providing precise thermostatic control to maintain consistent results during peak service hours. Operators gain a durable, serviceable platform designed for high-volume kitchens where uptime and output directly affect margins.
#@@# Cook Surface#@#
The 72-inch by 24-inch polished steel plate offers 1-inch thickness to retain heat and resist warping under continuous use. Chefs achieve uniform searing and stable surface temperatures across the entire countertop area for large batch preparation.
#@@# Heat Output#@#
The unit produces 162,000 BTU distributed across six burners to supply rapid recovery and sustained cooking power. Kitchens maintain set temperatures during repeated load cycles, reducing downtime between production runs.
#@@# Thermostat Control#@#
Embedded mechanical snap-action thermostats located every 12 inches provide localized temperature regulation across the griddle face. Staff adjust zones independently to create segmented cooking areas for different menu items without compromising adjacent sections.
#@@# Ignition and Safety#@#
The griddle includes millivolt pilot safety with electric spark or manual ignition options plus a front manifold gas shut-off valve for immediate isolation. Maintenance teams access reliable ignition methods and frontline safety controls to minimize risk and simplify service procedures.
#@@# Construction Durability#@#
Stainless steel front and sides with a front grease trough and 4-inch back and tapered side splashes defend surrounding workspaces from spills and heat. The low-profile countertop design and 4-inch adjustable legs create a stable installation that fits existing counters and eases floor-level adjustments.
#@@# Compliance and Serviceability#@#
The griddle meets CSA and NSF certifications and weighs 790 pounds, reflecting robust commercial construction suitable for continuous service.

Apply food‑grade oil to the 1" steel plate after each cleaning cycle to prevent rust. Flush grease trough and front reservoir weekly; remove and soak grease cup in hot, soapy water. Verify thermostatic sensors every month and calibrate if temperatures deviate. Confirm millivolt pilot and spark ignition function before service. Tighten gas fittings and check for leaks using a soap solution.
