SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

Thank you for choosing your new DCS Professional Range. Our products are designed to be safe and reliable when properly cared for and used reasonably. When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type appliance provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen appliances, including the following:

Read this Care and Use Manual thoroughly before

using your new appliance. This will help to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions which came with this appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this appliance before using.

Have the installer show you where the gas supply shutoff valve is located so you will know how and where to turn off the gas to the appliance.

If you smell gas, the installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight. Finding a gas leak is not a “doit-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position and for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician.

If by some chance a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not attempt to use the appliance until the gas has had time to dissipate. Follow the instructions on page 1, “What to do if You Smell Gas”.

This appliance has been factory assembled for natural gas. It should be correctly adjusted by a qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas that is used.

Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Never “open door broil” with children nearby.

They could quickly come into contact with a hot oven inner surface, causing severe burns.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.

Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round oven door handle and may grab and open the oven door. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance. Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to reach these items.

Never store anything in the oven or on the cooktop

. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.

Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.

If the appliance is near a window

be certain the cur-

tains do not blow

over or near the cooktop burners;

they could catch on fire.

Do not use water on grease fires. Turn all burners OFF, then smother fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

-READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or too close to, any burner or burner grate until it has cooled.

Fabric

may ignite

and result in personal injury.

Be certain to use

only dry pot holders: moist or

damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners, or burner grates.

For personal safety,

wear proper apparel. Loose fit-

ting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in a fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop parts.

Warning: This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or oven parts.

When using the cooktop:

DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES or THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA

. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.

When using the oven:

DO NOT TOUCH THE INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN, THE EXTERIOR AREA IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE DOOR or THE BACK TRIM.

The drip tray handles directly above the oven door may be hot if the oven has been operated with the door open, or if something has prevented the door from sealing.

Always use caution when pulling out the drip trays when the oven has been on, or is currently on. The drip trays get hot when the oven is on. Do not remove drip trays until they are cool.

Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spill overs that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, unburned gas will escape into the room. See page 1.

Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazes utensils are suitable for cooktop use

. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium flames settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

During cooking,

set the burner control so that the

flame heats only the bottom of the pan

and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. This could heat and/or melt the handles.

Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner

. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spill overs, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop.

Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.

SAFETY PRACTICES TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURY

Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups. DO NOT use cooking utensils on the grill.

GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the container under the cooktop burners, the grill or the griddle. Clean after each use or boil over.

For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners,

keep the burner ports clean. It may be

necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light, even though the electronic igniters click.

Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

Place oven racks in desired position while the oven is cool

. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holders contact the hot interior of the oven.

Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.

Do not rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking.

Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently

so grease from cook-

ing vapors does not accumulate on them.

Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is available.

For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door or cooking surface.

Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.

California Proposition 65 - Warning: The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products 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 according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE

1. Remove all packaging materials and labels from your appliance. If the installer has not set up your appliance, do it now. Check that you have the following items:

COOKTOP - (depending on model)

•Four or six burners, burner bowls, burner caps and grates

•Griddle

•Grill racks, 2 pieces

• Radiant tray, 6 removable rods - to hold briquettes and briquettes for grill

•One or two removable drip trays (griddle and grill models have drip tray liners, for catching the grease)

•Back splash or back trim

OVEN - (depending on model)

27” & 24” O

VEN:

• Three Oven Racks

•Two removable Stainless Steel 3 position Rack Slide Assemblies

•One, Two-piece broil pan

12” OVEN:

•Two oven racks

•Two removable Rack Supports

•One, Two-piece broil pan

2. Place the oven racks in the proper position

before turn-

ing on the oven.

For correct rack position check your recipe. The most frequently used position is number 2. The rack positions are numbered from the bottom as in the floors of a building.

To insert the oven racks:

A. Hold the rack with the back safety rail in the up posi-

tion and towards the rear of the oven. Slip it into the oven so the rack slides are between the rack and the rack guides.

B. As you slide the rack into the oven tip the front of the

rack up slightly, so that the safety stops on the back of the rack, clear the rack slides. The safety stops keep the rack from sliding out of the oven when pulled forward.

To r emove or reposition the racks:

A. Pull the rack forward. B. Lift the front of the rack up so the safety stops clear the

rack slides.

C. Pull the rack forward.

3. Before baking or broiling:

One at a time turn on the oven and broiler elements for 20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the manufacturing oils used by the factory. Turn the oven element on to 450°F and the broiler element on to “Broil”. Turn on the ventilator above your range while these burners are on, as there will be an odor.

Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. Heat can be trapped beneath the foil, this can cause damage to the oven and the food may not cook correctly.

COOKTOP USE

Your new professional gas range or cooktop is equipped with burners typical of those used in restaurants. These burners are designed in two pieces for maximum cleanability and controllability. The center, smaller cap covers and protects the simmer burner from boil overs, that could put the flame out. This cap also spreads the simmer burner heat out to avoid too much heat being concentrated on the center of the pan. The simmer burner is always on when the burner is in use. The burner should never be operated if the simmer cap is not in place.

All the cooktop burners have electronic spark ignition to eliminate continuously burning pilots, when the port ring is on and the flame is blown out, it will relight. This two piece burner has a (BTU) range at the highest of 15,000 with a variable simmer that has a range between 1250-500 (BTU’S).

After cleaning, it is important to make sure the locating pin on the top side of the burner base is properly aligned with the corresponding slot in the burner base. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance.

When standing in front of the range, the locating pin on the burner base and corresponding slot in the port ring is located at approximately the 3 o’clock position.

See the fol-

lowing illustration at top of next column.

Your new professional cooktop has exceptionally low simmering capabilities. The center simmer cap serves as a heat diffuser to spread out the heat to avoid having a center hotspot. Keep in mind that because of the high heat capacity of the outer burner, and the mass of the cast iron burner grates (they retain heat longer than lighter, conventional grates) some foods may continue to cook by retained heat after the burner has been turned off.

The simmer burner is lit from the outside burner flame. The flame travels over the port ring and crosses over onto the simmer burner located just beneath the simmer cap. When lighting only the simmer burner always light the main burner first. This will in turn provide the ignition source for the simmer burner. Look to ensure that the simmer ports are lit before turning the knob down to the simmer position. Should a strong draft or boil over extinguish the simmer

flame it will not relight automatically as the outer burner would.

If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the igniter is not clicking, TURN OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still fails to operate, see page 28, “Before Calling For Service”. To light the burner manually, see page 28, “Power Failure”.

It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean, for proper lighting and efficient performance of the cooktop burners.

The burner flame should burn completely around and within the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.

An improper air-gas mixture may cause either a burner flutter or a yellow tipped flame. A technician should adjust the flame. During initial use, foreign particles in the gas line, or dust in or in the air around the appliance may cause an orange flame. This will disappear with use.

The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.
