Part of my viking griddle keeps flaking. it's the part near the front. it's very strange. the rest of the griddle works fine. Any idea why this is happening and how to prevent it?

I have the same thing happening with my Viking griddle. I have nearly the whole top seasoned to a jet-black state - and it is stick free!! Now up near the front edge the coating/seasoning is chipping off. I've just been taking the loose chips off and not worrying about it too much, it maybe the size of a half dollar at this point. The front edge of the griddle is the hot spot on mine; and I've learned to adapt my cooking techniques. My guess is the hot spot on my griddle is responsible for the flaking...

SOURCE: I have a viking rangetop

Check the amperage draw to the igniter, if it is over 3amps and no gas, first off check the valve on the manifold behind then control panel if the valve is open then check the wiring to the thermal valve if it is connected then it would appear that the thermal valve is defective.

replace the hotplate ignitor. you may in the future have simmilar problems with the ovens or broiler, there are 4 ignitors in my unit I have replaced each at lease once. it seems to be a weak link in the design. If you need more information contact c2d6c2 at yahoo

SOURCE: griddle makes backfire noise

I get the same sound but I found it is actually coming from my stainless steel backsplash, it seems like the heat makes it flex from time to time.

How do I clean a Viking griddle that hasbeen

I use a product called Greasecutter Plus by ECOLAB, it makes the griddle look brand new, gets everything off. You just spray it on and let it set for a little bit then it wipes clean.

Is there a cleaning manual for my 6 burner/griddle viking range?

I have a product that I use to clean my burners and griddle with, it is made by ECOLAB and is called Greasecutter Plus. It doesn't hurt the range but it makes it look brand new, even my griddle comes completely clean. You just spray it on then let it sit for a bit then it wipes clean.

Need to replace griddle thermostat

My husband and I just had to check out our griddle on our 48 inch Viking rangetop. You remove the grates and the grate holders on either side of the griddle..it just pops out. Then you raise your griddle up about 4" to remove your thermastats., noting the position they are in so when you replace you can put back correctly. After pulling the thermastats out, then you lift the griddle out. Griddle is extremely heavy so be prepared to have close surface to lay it. Hope this helps.

I have a viking cooktop with 4 burners and a center griddle. The griddle will not hold heat. It fires up then goes out.

This can be cause dby one of 2 problems.

When you turn the control to turn the Griddle on, does it come immediately or do you have to turn it a long way before it comes on?
.
If it turns on immediatly then it is more than likely the Ignitor

If you have to turn it a long way you have a defective Thermostat
