Safety

IMPORTANT:

Your Dacor grill is designed to be safe when installed properly. However, care must be used as these grills can produce very high temperatures which increases the potential for injury or accidents. We recommend you always follow the safety notes listed below.

NOTES:

1. Carefully read this manual before using the grill, this will reduce the risk of injury due to fire or electric shock.

2. Proper installation is extremely important. Refer to the installation instructions included within the literature kit which shipped with your grill. Your installer should show you the location of the gas shut off valve and the electrical connection. You should also be familiar with the correct and easiest way to shut off these utilities in case of an emergency. Minimum clearances to combustible materials should always be observed. Reference the correct clearances in the installation instructions.

3. Repair and replacement of any parts within this appliance should be referred to an authorized Dacor service technician.

4. Children should never be allowed to sit, stand, or play around the grill at any time. Children should never be allowed to crawl inside the grill cart. Remember, when in use, the grill will get hot enough to cause severe burns.

5. Avoid the potential for grease fires by frequently cleaning the grease tray. Always allow the unit to completely cool down before removing the grease tray for cleaning.

6. Keep hands and fingers away from all edges of the canopy while in the raised position.

7. Never move the grill during cooking.

8. Always keep the canopy closed when moving the grill cart.

9. Spiders and insects can nest in the burners of this grill. This can obstruct the proper flow of gas into the burner and cause improper operation, fire hazard and potential damage to the unit. Periodically inspect the burners. If any of these symptoms occur, immediately refer to service or the troubleshooting section of this manual.

10. Your outdoor grill is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug to protect animals against shock hazard. This plug should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Never cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

11. The grill canopy should be closed during the pre-heating period.

12. Gas Smells:

• If you smell gas when the unit is not in use, immediately shut off the gas at the main valve, open the canopy and call your local service agency to inspect the unit. Finding a leak is not a do-it-yourself process.

• If you smell gas when the unit is in use, immediately shut off the gas at the main valve, open the canopy, and dissipate for at least five minutes. Relight the burners and verify that they are operating properly. If the burners fail to light or are not functioning properly, shut off the main gas supply valve and call your local service agency for inspection.

IMPORTANT:

1. For your safety, the gas supply must be turned off at the LP-gas supply tank when your grill is not in use.

2. The LP-gas supply cylinder must be disconnected when this barbecuing appliance is not in use.

3. If the appliance is to be stored indoors, the LP tank must be disconnected and removed from the appliance.

4. LP tanks not connected for use shall not be stored in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

5. Detach and leave the tank outdoors if storing the unit indoors. These grills are for outdoor use only.

6. Check for leaks after every tank change.

13. Never block the vents located on the back of the grill or the opening at the

Grill Features

rear of the canopy. Blocking any or all of these vents during cooking, will result in damage to the unit and may cause a fire or injury.

Liquid Propane Tanks

1. Dacor LP model grills are set at the factory for LP tank installations. Use only the Dacor supplied regulator. DO NOT ATTEMPT FIELD CONVERSIONS. Approved field conversions from natural to LP or LP to natural will only be approved when completed by an authorized Dacor servicer.

2. Dacor grills are approved for a maximum LP tank capacity of 20 pounds (5 gallons). The tank must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP-gas tanks of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) or the National Standard of Canada, CAN/CSA-B339, tank, Spheres and Tubes of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods. To minimize the potential for fire or an explosion, the following precautions should be observed when using, filing, or storing an LP tank:

• Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. If there is any question as to the soundness of the tank, have it checked by your LP supplier.

• Never use a tank with a damaged or defective shut off valve.

• Do not over fill the LP tank. Never fill the tank beyond eighty percent (80%)
