8. CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 B
The burning of cooking fuel generates
some by-products that are on the
list of substances which are known
by the State of California to cause
cancer or reproductive harm. California
law requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such
substances. To minimize exposure to
these substances, always operate this
unit to the instructions contained in this
manual and provide good ventilation
when cooking with gas.
IMPORTANT:
1. Keep the area around the appliance
clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline and other flammable
liquids.
2. This outdoor gas cooking appliance is
not intended to be installed in or on a
recreational vehicle or boat.
3. Do not leave the grill unattended while
cooking.

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).

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%)
