SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

y After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for

gas leaks, deterioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.

y Always use a covered hand when opening the grill hood and only do so slowly to allow heat and

steam to escape.
y After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 21).
y Do not use aluminium foil to line drip pans or grill grates or radiants. This can severely upset

combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted

knobs or damaged ignition components.
y Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions or after the

appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
y Do not let the rotisserie cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
y Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.
y Do not use lighter fluid in the charcoal burner insert or on the gas burners.
y Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol

cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the

presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
y Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and hooked into the front of the grease

tray (see Fig. 34 on page 40 for diagram). Without it hot grease could leak downward and

produce a fire or explosion hazard.
y The sear burner is designed specifically for searing food. Do not use the griddle plate or charcoal

insert over the sear burner or cover it with any utensil type.
y If you are using griddle plates, do not place them side by side on the grill or on top of the

Infrared Hybrid Burner.
y Never use the grill in a windy area.
y Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of

this manual.
y Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane.
y Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel supply hose or the rotisserie motor cord away from

the heated areas of the grill and water (pools, fountains, puddles).
y Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free

and clear from debris.
y Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with

water or other liquids.
y Do not move the appliance during its use.
y Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would

result in injury or death.
y When using a grill, be sure that all parts of the unit are firmly in place and that the grill is stable

(can’t be tipped over).
y To put out flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature or move the food away from

flare up.
y Do not ignite the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit.
y Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in

operation or is hot.
y CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING: the burning of gas cooking fuel generates some

by-products which 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 according to the manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

y Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation to the grill.
y Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the cylinder(s) is (are)

disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance.
y Cylinders must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in a

building, garage, or any other enclosed area.
y When not in use, ensure the gas supply is turned off at the supply cylinder.
y Only use LP cylinder provided with a listed Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD) and with a

cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking gas appliances.

To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:

y Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full.
y If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near

or under the grill unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker
with this warning is provided with the grill. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.

y Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.

y Push in and turn the selected control knob to HI/SEAR position. Release the knob when the

burner lights. If burner does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait five

minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.
y Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is

evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
y Follow the installation instructions within this manual. Have your grill installed by a qualified

installer. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you

know where and how to shut off the gas to the grill. If the connections are not perfectly sealed,

you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Some leaks can only be found with the

burner control in the “ON” position - this must be done by a qualified technician.
y Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never

allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, portions of the

grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
y Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill.
y Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks,

or insect activity. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section

carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.
y Never use the grill or sear burner while the rotisserie burner is lit.
y In sunny locations, the rotisserie and sear burners may be difficult to see if they are lit.
y When connecting, first connect plug to the appliance then plug appliance into the outlet.

INSTALLATION

Locating Grill/Built-in Clearances

IMPORTANT!

Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill.
Loosen the four screws. Slide the shipping bracket off and
re-tighten the screws.

Location

When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible and away
from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill under overhead
unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed
or other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. Ensure
that the grill is used in a well ventilated area.

If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the
front of the grill as shown in Fig. 01b. This will assist the grill in venting hot air through the back of
the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from blowing at someone who is cooking on the
grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear of the
grill (Fig. 01a), a windscreen must be installed. The windscreen should be set-up so that it blocks
wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig. 01c. Location of the
windscreen relative to rear of the grill must adhere to the clearances specified for combustible or
non-combustible construction as defined in these instructions. Refer to following pages.

EN

As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the
combustion process. Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the
exhaust products out through the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy
conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air though your grill, leading to reduced performance, or in
certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. This can lead to problems such as
having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.

Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or
igniter wires, or valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.

Clearances to non-combustible construction*

A minimum of 3” (76mm) clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is
required for the purpose of allowing the hood to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” (153mm)
rear and side clearance to non-combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If
you’ll be using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The grill can
be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface (Fig. 02).

Note: if intending to use the rotisserie, the minimum clearance will be from the rotisserie motor instead
of the side of the grill.

*DEFINITION OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Material which is not capable of being ignited and
burned, such as materials consisting entirely of, or a combination of, steel, iron, brick tile, concrete,
slate, and plaster.

General

The grill is designed for easy placement into built-in masonry enclosures. For non-combustible
applications the grill drops into the opening shown in Fig. 05 and hangs from its side flanges. Adeck
is not required to support it from the bottom. When using the insulated jacket in a combustible
enclosure application, see the Fig. 06. The insulation jacket assembly must be supported from the
bottom by a ledge on each side and back or a solid deck.

A spirit level should be used to ensure that the unit is level both front-to-back and side-to-side. Ifit
is not level, burner combustion may be erratic or the unit may not function efficiently for grease
flow. If the floor is uneven, re-leveling may be required whenever a freestanding unit is moved.

IMPORTANT!

y Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or

serious personal injury.

y The grill is designed to function in an open area. Recommended minimum clearances should be

maintained to all surfaces (combustible and non-combustible) for optimum performance. Non­combustible material within the minimum clearance area could result in discoloration or deterioration.

y If a non-combustible material such as stucco is covering a combustible material such as wood, the

minimum clearance distance needs to be considered for wood. The presence of a non-combustible material
inside the clearance zone does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.

Clearances to combustible construction**

Minimum of 18” (457mm) from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical
combustible construction, above the counter top level. Intense heat, and large volumes of smoke will
exhaust from the rear of the grill (Fig. 01b). This may discolor or damage unprotected areas. Do not
install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.

A 18” (457mm) minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible
construction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket. Insulated jackets can be
purchased from our website, www.dcsappliances.com.

**DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Any materials of a building structure or decorative
structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that
are capable of transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered
combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered.

IMPORTANT!

It is recommended that a minimum of two 12 1/4x12 1/4" (311 x 311mm) vents be provided in order to
safely dissipate unburned gas vapors in the event of a gas supply leak. These are to be located on
each side of the enclosure and within 5" (127mm) of the top.

Insulated jacket

If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary.
Insulated jackets are available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has
specifically been designed and tested for this purpose. Review the detail drawing shown (Fig. 06)
and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up clearance in the right rear corner.
It is required that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure to eliminate the potential build-up
of gas in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat and strong
enough to support the grill and insulated jacket. The counter should also be level.

IMPORTANT!

Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire,
property damage and personal injury.

into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not
over tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit
to the “HI” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge. Turn valves off and
wait five minutes before attempting to ignite the burners.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and

Leak Testing

IMPORTANT!

Gas leak testing must be carried out by a qualified technician.

General

Regularly check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.

Before Testing
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.

Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder.

To Test

Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all
connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder. Apply the soap solution around the connection,
tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is
present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck.

If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer you
purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used
on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.

All units are supplied with a 12V power transformer to operate the products ignition and dial
illumination features. The transformer is sealed in a box with an attached power supply cord.

Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this product.

An outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI electrical outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician either inside
the island enclosure for built-in units, or near the location where a free-standing unit will be used. For
built-in products, the supplied 12V transformer should be connected during installation.

Installation

The transformer must be secured below the product in a dry location away from any excessive heat.
Be sure to provide adequate access to facilitate service if the transformer or connections require
maintenance. For 2-pin connector models, multiple DCS Series 9 products may be connected to a single
transformer by purchasing and installing a DCS approved power splitter.

Dial halos

When a dial is in use, an orange halo around that dial will illuminate. This will change from orange
to white if the dial is turned to off but another dial remains active. If all dials are turned OFF, all
halos will turn off. Multiple DCS Series 9 products may be linked together to allow for cross-product
halo illumination.

Burner Adjustment

IMPORTANT!

Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is evidence
of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.

U-burner burner air adjustment

Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior
to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply or a
conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary
to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the
rotisserie burner) should be visually checked and compared
to that of the drawing in Fig.14. Flames should be blue and
stable with no yellow tips (LP units may have some yellow
tipping), excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions
exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by
dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If cleaning the burner ports
and air shutter does not improve performance, you can alter
the air shutter adjustment. The amount of air which enters a
burner is governed by a metal cup at the inlet of the burner
called an air shutter. It is locked in place by a screw which
must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.

U-burner flame height adjustment

Before beginning, ensure the grill is OFF and cool. To access the grill burner air shutters, first
remove the grates and radiants from the firebox, then remove the grill burner using instructions
shown on page 41. With a screw driver, loosen the lock screw on the face of the air shutter slightly
so that the air shutter can be adjusted.

To adjust

1 Be careful as the burner may be very hot.
2 If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to allow more air

to the burner.

3 If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air

shutter clockwise.

Note: reinstall the U-burner, ensuring it is level. Light the burner and check the flame. If the color
of the flame is blue and the height is stable, remove the burner and tighten the air shutter screw.
If the flames show instability or an inconsistent color, repeat the above procedure to readjust the
air shutter.

Low flame setting adjustment

The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to
fluctuations in gas pressure, heating value or gas conversion,

BEZEL

you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in
the low position. We do not recommend adjusting the infrared
rotisserie burner.

To adjust

1 Light the burner.
2 Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (counter-clockwise).
3 Remove the knob.
4 While holding the valve shaft with pliers, insert a thin, flat tipped

screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the burner adjust to
a minimum stable flame. For sear burners, a slight flutter will be
present before the flame becomes unstable.

counterclockwise. Release when the burner lights. If the burner does not light in four to five seconds,
turn knob "OFF" and wait five minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.

Match lighting

If the burner will not light after several attempts, then
the burner can be match lit. If you have attempted to
light the burner with the ignition, allow five minutes for
any accumulated gas to dissipate.

U-burners

Keep your face as far away from the grill as possible
while manually igniting. To manually ignite, light a butane
lighter before pushing and turning the control knob
to “SEAR” for the leftmost or rightmost burner. Wait
2 seconds for gas to prime manual ignition tube, then
move lighter to 10mm in front and a little below the hole
located to the left of the burner (Fig. 16a). If the burner
does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob off, wait
five minutes and try again.

USING THE GRILL

Grilling

Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a series of ceramic
rods encased in a stainless steel radiant and a stainless steel heat retaining
grate. Below the burners there is a stainless steel heat shield which reflects
usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the
drip pan below. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants which encase
the ceramic rods and protect the grill burner ports from blockage (Fig. 17a).

The grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. The ceramic rods have the
thermal mass to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. Flare ups are
controlled because the radiant ceramic rods get hot & vaporise majority of
food drips that cause flare ups. The intense heat produced by this system
allows for production of true grilled flavours.

Sear burner models only

The sear burner section consists of a sear burner, a wire mesh, and wire grate.
The sear burner is rated at 24,000 Btu/hr or 25.3 MJ/hr. On the right side of
the sear burner is a removable stainless steel wall to allow cleaning. (Fig. 17b).

The wire mesh on the sear burner is designed to protect the ceramic tiles
from food debris which may block the pores in the tiles. Most grease will
vapporise on contact with the hot mesh and tiles.

Direct/indirect cooking notes

Direct cooking involves placing food on grates over lighted burners. Use this method for foods that take less than
20 minutes to cook or to sear larger items at the start of the cooking process that will then be indirectly cooked
to finish. Place items on the preheated surface and leave until they no longer stick. Never spray water on the grill
or into grease. The patented Grease Management System™ reduces flare-ups by channeling grease away from
the flame. Use a meat thermometer to achieve desired doneness and remove items 5 - 10 degrees below how you
would like to enjoy them, as the resting period before carving or consuming will raise the temperature.

Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect cooking uses heat from an
adjacent heat source to cook food and, in many cases, reduces the possibility of overcooked or overly browned
food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling include breads, thicker pieces of chicken or steaks. Indirect
cooking involves placing the food to the side of or above the heat source instead of directly over the flame and
then closing the grill top to create an oven effect. All the items you usually oven-roast can be grilled to perfection
using indirect heating. Preheat the burners surrounding the food to be cooked. Use your secondary cooking tray
to hold food and add water or chicken broth to the tray to prevent the natural juices from burning or evaporating.
When indirect cooking over the sear burner, make sure there is a tray in place to collect any drips.

y Season your grates before first use and then periodically to protect the grate surface from corrosion, and to

stop food sticking. See 'Care and Maintenance'. To season the grates, pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil on a
soft cloth and rub on both sides of the grates (only W-grate). Only a light coating is needed and some smoke
may be visible during the preheating.

y Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “MEDIUM” to “LOW”

heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be
necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without
burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat
setting near the end of the cooking time. For models with Sear Burner, you can use Sear Burner to quickly
brown the surface of your foods and then use U-Burner on Low to finish cooking & reach desired doneness.

Secondary cooking

Two racks and one tray have been provided for secondary cooking. These can be utilized for
warming, short time smoking (no more than 3 hours), roasting or slow-cooking food. Before using
the secondary cooking surfaces with the grill hood down, ensure that the height and width of food
or cooking pans is not excessive. When closing the hood there is a chance that food or cooking pans
may be dislodged if these items are too big. 20lbs is the maximum weight of food that should be
placed in the secondary cooking area.

The secondary cooking racks and tray can be placed in four possible positions. When inserting the
racks and trays above the grill, they will click into place.

Note: all trays and racks are dishwasher safe. Sear burners are not dishwasher safe.

IMPORTANT!

Do not use the rotisserie burner when the secondary cooking racks or trays are in place. Before using
the rotisserie burner, ensure that these racks and trays are removed.

SECONDARY COOKING RACKSSECONDARY COOKING TRAY

Internal lighting

To add to the convenience of your grilling
experience, the grill has internal lighting set
inside the grill hood. This helps to help illuminate
the cooking surface in low light. To turn on the
lighting, push the LIGHT button on the left­hand side on the control panel. To turn it off,
press the button again. For guidance on how to
replace the light bulbs, please see the care and

7 Allow the grill to cool and clean the grates, drip pan and grease tray after each use.

Dual-sided grates

The double-sided grates provide varying surfaces for varying textures. The
W-shaped side creates nice sear lines for steaks, chicken and chops and routes
oil and grease away from the food. The opposite radius side offers more surface
area for support and handling of delicate items like scallops. See below for a
sample list of which foods to cook on which side of the grate.

Charcoal insert grate

Designed to be used in conjunction with the charcoal insert, the wire grate
fits on top of the insert to provide the perfect surface for adding smoke flavor
to your food. Food can be placed directly on grate or use it to hold a tray of
water under the food to help even out the temperature and keep the food
surface moist.

EN

Grilling Hints

The time it takes to reach a certain doneness within meat (rare, medium or well done) is affected
by the thickness of the cut & the cooking temperature used. If grilling a 2” piece of Rib eye at high
temperature it is most ideal to sear the surface first before cooking at a lower temperature till you
achieve the desired doneness. This can be checked using a thermometer. When defrosting meats it is
recommended that it be done overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave.

provide clean sear lines and optimal heat distribution.

Searing hints

Your sear burner can be used to achieve perfect sear lines or surface browning on your food
before moving it to a low heat to finish the cooking process. The sear burner is ideal for the sear
part of the reverse sear cooking method as it provides optimal conditions for direct searing.

Due to intense heat produced by the sear burner, we recommend keeping a close eye on your
food & turning it constantly for optimal searing.

Do not allow the sear burner to get wet

Failure to keep the sear burner dry may result in product damage or poor performance. If the burner
does get wet, allow it to dry completely before use. The sear burner is not dishwasher safe.

1 Remove the sear burner (refer to page 40)
2 Rest the burner upside down to allow the water to drain.
3 Let the burner dry before reinstalling into the grill (refer to page 40)

If the burner flares up or does not turn red during the pre-heat process, the burner may require replacement.

USING THE GRILL

Grate positions

As well as moving the grates to be positioned to your preference along the grill, the dual-sided
grates can also be placed flat or in an angled position. If the grates are hot, please use the multi­tool to move the grates or re-position them. Placing the grates in an angled positioned (Fig. 21),
allows fat and grease to run off food and into the grease management system. It also allows for a
slightly slower cooking, than if the grate was placed flat (Fig. 22). If you are using a griddle plate

USING THE GRILL

Using the multi-tool

The multi-tool is an accessory that comes included with the grill. This can be used to lift and move
grates, lift the charcoal burner lid and adjust the charcoal burner venting filters. It can be used to
scrape grease and fat residues into the hole which directs grease down into the drip pan.

To adjust grates using the multi-tool

1 Grip the multi-tool handle, with the flat-edged end

at the top.

2 Rotate the multi-tool 90 degrees and insert the flat-

edge end into the center grate slot, making sure the
end is below the middle horizontal bar of the grate.

Note: there is greater balance and control of the

grate when the multi-tool is centered.

3 Rotate the multi-tool back 90 degrees. The notches

in the flat-edged end will lock the grate into place.

4 Carefully lift the grate out of the grill or into your

desired position.

5 Rotate the multi-tool again to remove it from

the grate.

FIG. 25

IMPORTANT!

Take care when using the multi-tool to move the grates. The hot and heavy grates can cause injury.

30

USING THE GRILL

Charcoal insert

IMPORTANT!

Do not use lighter-fluid in the charcoal insert or on the grill. The solid fuel will ignite from the
burners, it does not need to be lit by a match or butane lighter.

1 Place charcoal, woodchips or briquettes into the insert.

Be careful not to overload with solid fuel (one layer of
briquettes is recommended).

2 Remove the grates and ceramic rods. Place the charcoal

insert on top of the U burner. The insert will hook onto pins
in the frame of the grill.

3 Light the grill burners following the lighting instructions on

page 24. Turn the control knob to "SEAR".

4 Wait eight to 10 minutes, allow smoke to get to your desired

preference. The solid fuel should begin to grey around the
edges.

5 Shut off the burner, the solid fuel will continue to burn and

smoke.

6 When you have finished using the grill, turn the control

knobs to “OFF”.

7 Allow the grill to cool and clean the grates, drip pan and

grease tray after each use. The multi-tool can be used
to scrape out the bottom of the insert. See Care and
Maintenance on page 43 for more instructions on cleaning
the charcoal insert.

FIG. 26

EN

Adjusting the charcoal insert

The heat and burn rate of the charcoal insert can be controlled
by adjusting insert to reduce the level of oxygen supplied to
the fire and slow the cooking rate. Removing the lid provides
an excellent cooking surface for direct grilling. Note: the wire
grate must be used in conjunction with the charcoal insert for
direct grilling. There is also a venting adjustment on the top of
the insert lid, it is recommended that the vents are modified
prior to cooking. If the lid or vents have to be adjusted during
cooking, please use the multi-tool as the charcoal burner insert
will be hot.

Using wood and charcoal

y Wood should be soaked briefly in water beforehand
y Larger wood chunks burn slower than smaller chips, giving a longer smoking time
y Different wood types (and charcoal types) impart different flavours to the food
y Charcoal and wood can be added periodically to the tray as required to extend the cooking time

FIG. 27

IMPORTANT!

• When using multiple grill accessories (e.g. charcoal insert, griddle plate etc), at least one of
the two center burners should remain accessory-free.

• The above accessories cannot be used over the sear burner.

31

USING THE ROTISSERIE

IMPORTANT!

When connecting your rotisserie motor, first connect the
motor to the grill and then plug the grill into the outlet.

General

The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items
from the back using infrared heat. The location of the
burner allows the placement of the secondary cooking
tray beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for
basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the cooking
tray, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are
especially good with the addition of pineapple slices and
brown sugar to the cooking tray. The rotisserie burner is
an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant
heat. Preferred by chefs over other methods, this intense
heat is magnificent for searing in the meat’s natural
juices and nutrient.

The orange/red glow will even out in about five minutes.
The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is
capable of turning a cut of meat or poultry that weighs
up to 50 lb. The rotisserie motor on the grills is secured
down to a cast rotisserie block with two black screw­down knobs. The rotisserie block is in turn bolted to the
side panel. The rotisserie rod is assembled into the motor
assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor,
and resting the other end on the support at the left
side of the grill. With the rod pushed as far as possible
into the motor, the round end of the rod should rest on
the rollers.

FIG. 28

The motor is equipped with a halogen bulb to provide
light when other sources of light are not sufficient. Use
only a 50W (or its equivalent) Max. Halogen Narrow
Flood replacement bulb.

IMPORTANT!

Halogen lamps are constructed of a glass bulb with
a pressurized internal filament tube that operates at
high temperatures and could unexpectedly shatter.
Should the outer bulb break, particles of extremely
hot glass could be discharged into the fixture
enclosure and/or surrounding environment, thereby
creating a risk of personal injury or fire. When
replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that
power to the light has been turned off. Never allow
the hot bulb to come into contact with water. DO
NOT TOUCH the light bulb when in use. It may be
hot enough to cause injury.

USING THE ROTISSERIE

IMPORTANT!

Do not use the rotisserie burner when the secondary cooking racks or trays are in place. Before using
the rotisserie burner, ensure that these racks and trays are removed.

Preparation

Recommended: dental floss or butcher string, scissors, secondary cooking tray, pliers, meat probe,
foil, and hot pads.

Working area

Allow enough space to accommodate food and rotisserie rod assembly in a clean environment.

Meat preparation

Tie meat with butcher string or dental floss in three areas. Purchase a roast that is equally balanced
from top to bottom in size to ensure meat will cook evenly while on the Rotisserie. For Poultry,
tie wings and legs to the body using dental floss or butcher string to prevent flopping around
while turning.

EN

1 Determine the center placement for the food,

put first prong on the rod, turn ‘L’- shaped
screw to tighten.

3 Pick up the rod, rotate it to check for balance.

If unbalanced, adjust prongs and food. Take
pliers and tighten the ‘L’- shaped screws on
both prongs.

2 Center tied meat/poultry on the rod, place

second prong, turn ‘L’- shaped screw
to tighten.

4 Remove secondary cooking racks. To catch

meat drippings, place secondary cooking tray
onto grates or ceramic radiant rods depending
on your preference. Note: grates must first be
removed if placing tray on ceramic radiant rods.

33

USING THE ROTISSERIE

To light the rotisserie burner before cooking

The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so
than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotisserie during
windy conditions. As an added safety feature we’ve equipped the burner with an automatic safety
valve which will not allow gas to flow to the rotisserie burner unless the following conditions are
present with the knob on:

1 The safety valve button is pressed, and held down.
2 The safety valve thermocouple has been sufficientlyheated to keep safety valve open.

Note: the Grill Igniter will glow orange, but there will be no clicking sound during ignition.

Push in and hold the selected burner knob for two seconds. Verify that the hot surface igniter is
glowing. Turn the burner knob to “HI” position. Then press and hold the safety valve button in for
10 seconds or until the burner remains lit. Once lit, turn control knob to desired setting. If burner
does not light, turn knob "OFF" and wait five minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas
may dissipate.

y If relighting a hot burner, wait five minutes.
y Never leave the control knob on if rotisserie is not in use.

y Never light the grill or sear burners under the rotisserie while the rear rotisserie burner

is lit.

Manual lighting

To manually light the rotisserie, place a butane lighter
near the tip of the thermocouple. Push in and turn the
control knob to “HI”. Hold the safety valve button in for
10 seconds or until the burner remains lit. Once lit, turn
control knob to desired setting. If the burner does not
light, release the safety valve button and turn the control
knob to “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again.

IMPORTANT!

Keep hands and face away from front of burner! Stand to
the side when lighting. Once lit move hand away quickly.

FIG. 31

IMPORTANT!

Electrical Grounding Instructions: this appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a
properly grounded three-prong receptacle or use only extension cords with a 3 prong grounding
plug, rated for the power of the equipment, and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking. Never
remove the grounding plug or use with an adapter of 2 prongs. Use only a ground fault interrupter
(GFI) protected circuit.

The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence
of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Keep the rotisserie motor electric
cord away from the heated surfaces of the grill. When not in use, remove and store the motor in a
dry location. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord or plug in water or other
liquid. Unplug product from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the product to
cool before putting on or taking off parts.

USING THE ROTISSERIE

EN

1 Place prepared rod into motor, lay across

and into the rollers on other side.

3 To check temperature of the meat, turn off

motor and turn temperature to low while
using a meat probe.

2 Once placement has been verified, ignite

burner and start rotisserie motor. Turn the
control knob to the desired setting.

4 Once finished, turn the motor and rotisserie

knob to “OFF”. If you have finished using the
appliance altogether, turn the main gas supply
off too.

5 Remove the rod and place meat or poultry on

pan then remove prongs. Take care as the rod
will be hot.

IMPORTANT!

The prongs are very sharp. Keep hands
away from tips when removing the food.

Note: cover with foil for a 15 to 20 minute
waiting time. Meat will carve better and
juices will go back into the meat.

35

USING THE ROTISSERIE

Rotisserie rod storage

The rotisserie rod can be stored in the tray located under the grill head. When storing the rotisserie
rods, please use two hands to store it correctly and ensure it is locked into place. Please use two
hands to remove the rod from its storage compartment, taking care to ensure it does not drop.

FIG. 32 FIG. 33

Using the rod storage unit

1 Slide out the drip tray that sits underneath the control panel.
2 Locate hooks under front lip of the drip tray.
3 Place rotisserie rod onto hooks.
4 Slide the drip tray back into place.

ACCESSORIES

The following accessories can be purchased separately from authorized DCS dealers.

Grill covers

To ensure high performance and longevity of your grill, we recommend purchasing a grill cover.
Particularly if your grill is going to be stored outside.

Storage unit

The unit can be bolted onto either side of the grill. Please note, if you are using the rotisserie, the
storage unit will need to be installed on the opposite side to where the motor sits. You can install
up to two storage units on the grill, however, as the storage unit is attached at the same location
as the rotisserie motor, installing two storage units will mean that the rotisserie motor cannot
be installed.

All removable parts of the storage unit are dishwasher safe. Please see the storage unit quick start
guide for install instructions, use and care and further information.

Griddle plate

The griddle plate can be purchased separately. Do not place griddle plates side-by-side. Please see
the griddle plate quick start guide for install instructions, use and care and further information.

Infrared hybrid burner

Provides an additional cooking option. Please see the IR burner quick start guide for install
instructions, use and care and further information.

EN

Insulated jacket

We recommend purchasing a DCS insulated jacket if installing your grill into a combustible
enclosure, as it will reduce the risk of fire, property damage and personal injury. Please see the
insulated jacket quick start guide for install instructions, use and care and further information.

37

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT!

Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is
evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, on the piping or hose it must be replaced prior to use.

Regulator and hose replacement

The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. If replacements are
needed, contact customer care at www.dcsappliances.com. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas
is present. If the unit is LP, screw the regulator into the tank and leak check the hose and regulator
connections with a soap and water solution before operating the grill. Turn all knobs to “OFF” then
turn on the gas supply. If LP, check that there is gas in the tank.

IMPORTANT!

y Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
y Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
y Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check connections before each use.
y Do not attempt to light the grill if the odor of gas is present.
y Wait five minutes before relighting a hot grill.

Grill grates

Method 1

Turn burners on “HI” for 15-20 minutes to burn any remaining food particles. After turning the grill
“OFF”, use a bristle barbeque brush to remove any remaining food particles or ash.

Method 2

The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the
flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a soft brass bristle
barbeque brush in a mixture of two cups of tap water and ½ cup of vinegar and scrub the hot grill.
Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water and vinegar. Steam, created as water contacts the hot
grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto
the ceramic rods and burn or fall into the drip pan. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, this
process will be more difficult.

Method 3

Take about one foot of aluminum foil, crumpled up in a ball and rub it over cooled grates to release
food particles.

Note:

grill grates must be re-seasoned after cleaning to prevent rust stains.

Drip pan and grease tray

The full width drip pan with grease tray will collect
grease from the grill section and boil overs and
spills from the side burners. Allow the pan and its
contents to cool before attempting to clean. Clean
grease from the pan often to avoid the possibility of
a grease fire.

Ceramic rods

It is not necessary to remove the ceramic rods for
cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the next
cooking operation. Periodically the trays holding the
ceramic rods need to be turned over, and shaken free
of debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use
the grill and the amount and type of food cooked will
determine when it is necessary to clean the trays. If
grease can be seen on the top of the tubes or if there
are a lot of flare-ups during cooking, the tubes need
to be turned over and heated on “HI” for 30 minutes;
longer for heavy soil.

FIG. 34

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

304 Stainless steel

The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of
the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are
many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first,
scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand
very lightly with wet 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather
on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust.
For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner.
Always rub in the direction of the grain.

Note: stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides especially in coastal areas.
To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every three to four weeks with fresh
water and stainless cleaner. Keep grill covered when not in use.

Removing the U-burners for cleaning

IMPORTANT!

When re-installing the u-burner after cleaning, ensure that it is completely level and locked in place.
This is needed to ensure your grill provides an even cooking performance.

U-burner cleaning

Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire
brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any
clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a
wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port.
Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a flashlight
to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If
obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that
has been straightened (see Fig. 35).

Orifice cleaning (U-burners, rotisseries and sear burners)

With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a
flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage.
