SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity.
This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition.
“Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank pressure relief valve will vent
propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To
reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:
1.
When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total
capacity.
2
. If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store
it near or under the grill/cart unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat
source. A metallic sticker with this warning is provided with the grill to remind you,
your family and all others who may use your grill of these safety
precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.
3. Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.
WARNING!
Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS”
section of this manual. This grill is for outdoor use only.
WARNING!
Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “SEAR”. If burner
does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying
again for any accumulated gas to dissipate.
WARNING: 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, it must be
replaced prior to use.
Never leave the appliance unattended during use.
• Hot surfaces surrounding grill
grates could cause serious burns.
• Always leave at least 18" clearance
to combustibles around the grill.
• Never store a spare LP cylinder
under or near this unit.
• Never ll the tank beyond 3/4 full. A
re causing death or serious injury
may occur.
■
Begin by insuring proper installation and servic-
ing. 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
• Always follow lighting instructions.
• Lid must be opened before lighting
the grill.
• Check for gas leaks before lighting.
• Never lean over an open grill when
lighting. Serious burns may result.
the grill. If you smell gas, your installer has not
done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the
connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is
not a “do-it-yourself ” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position and
this must be done by a qualified technician.
■
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.
■
Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart or masonry enclosure. Never allow
children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.
■
Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is hot.
■
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.
■
After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, dete-
rioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
■
Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or get too close to any grate,
burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
■
Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.
■
Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be certain
you are pushing the control knob when you attempt to light the grill.
■
After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 21).
■
When using the grill, do not touch the grill burner, grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas become
extremely hot and could cause burns.
■
Grease is flammable. Never operate the grill without a grease tray. Let hot grease cool before attempting to
handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans, 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.
■
Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any man-
ner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
■
Do not let the rotisserie motor cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
■
Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using
this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain
types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. Use of
these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings
according to the manufacturer’s directions.
WARNING!
Spiders and insects can nest in the grill burners, causing the gas not to flow through the burner. The gas will flow
from the front of the burner into the control panel. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur
behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill components and making it unsafe to operate.
WARNING!
Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as
gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
WARNING!
Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind
break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances as defined in the “INSTALLATION” section of this
manual.
When using the side burners always use flat bottomed pans which are large enough to cover the side burner.
Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with unintentional spillovers. Hold the handle of the
pan to prevent movement of it when turning or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners
keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean periodically for optimum performance.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
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.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Without it
hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
Do not operate the grill under un protected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not
use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeway, covered structure or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.
If a cart unit is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push, never pull, the grill and
never push or pull on the side shelves. If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a
well ventilated area, out of reach of children.
Never use the grill in a windy area.
Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane. Make sure you lock the castor wheels before operat-
ing the grill.
Do not use charcoal or lighter fluid in the grill.
Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill and water
(pools, fountains, puddles).
Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from
debris.
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill or burner grate.
Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liq-
uids.
To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools.
Do not move the appliance during its use.
This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up
which would result in injury or death.
When using the grill, be sure that all parts of the unit are firmly in place and that the grill is stable (can’t be tipped
over).
To reduce the risk of flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature

INSTALLATION
LOCATING GRILL/BUILTIN CLEARANCES
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 there is adequate area for it to dissipate.
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. 01. This will assist the grill in venting hot air thru 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, a windbreak must be installed. The windbreak
should be made such that it will block wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig.
01. Location of the windbreak 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.
As 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.
During high wind conditions, it is best if you don’t use your grill. If you live in an area that is subject to frequent
high winds, or a steady directional wind, then the installation of a suitable windbreak may be advised. If you have
a grilling cart, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the valve panel, thus supporting the
proper airflow. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind
blowing along the exhaust gap in the rear can also be problematic.
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.

LOCATING GRILL/BUILTIN CLEARANCES
Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*:
A minimum of 3” / 7,6cm clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the
purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” / 15,2cm rear and side clearance to
non-combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you’ll be using the rotisserie option
(BGC30-BQR models only), 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).

WARNING!
Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or serious personal
injury.
WARNING!
The BGC/BH1 Grills are designed to function in an open area. Recommended minimum clearances should be maintained to all surfaces (combustible and noncombustible) for optimum performance. Noncombustible material within
the minimum clearance area could result in discoloration or deterioration.
WARNING!
If a noncombustible material such as stucco is covering a combustible material such as wood, the minimum clearance distance needs to be held to the wood. The presence of a noncombustible material inside the clearance zone
does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.
* DEFINITION OF NONCOMBUSTIBLE 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.
Clearances to Combustible Construction**:
Minimum of 18” /45,7cm from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical combustible construction, above the counter top level. You should take in account that there is a large volume of heat, and smoke
will exhaust from the rear of the grill. This may discolor or damage unprotected areas (Fig. 03). Do not install
under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.
A 18” /45,7cm minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible construction. The
clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.

** 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 required that a minimum of (3)10 sq. inches / 64,5cm2 of ventilation opening be provided for both the left
and right sides, as well as the back of enclosure (Fig. 04), in order to safely dissipate unburned gas vapors in
the event of a gas supply leak.
WARNING!
Note specific built-in enclosure ventilation requirements. See text and Fig. 04.
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. 04 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 bottom of Fig.
04. The insulation jacket assembly must be supported from the bottom by a ledge on each side and back or a
solid deck.
A carpenter’s “spirit level” should be used to assure 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 or has a decided slope, re-leveling may be required after each moving of a freestanding unit.
INSULATED JACKET:
WARNING!
Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire, property damage
and personal injury.
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. 04) 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.

INSTALLATION
GAS HOOKUP
Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure: 11.0” W.C /
2.7kPa.
CAUTION!
Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all grill burners, and rotisserie valves (BH1-30R models) are in the
OFF position and open grill lid.
To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the
tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of
its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig.08) after each use and during transport
of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the black coupler clockwise until the
coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten 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 5 minutes before attempting to light the burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter
clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done
so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your
tank.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:
A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The cylinder that is
used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check
for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed
for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit
or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The
cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in a LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as
applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and
removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of
children.
Note:
When an LP unit is being directly connected to an LP house system, you must follow the natural gas hook up guidelines. The
installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas
pressure to 11” W.C / 2.7kPa.
Note:
The Grill comes with the LP Regulator/Hose assembly installed at
the factory. The assembly, along with the entire Grill system, is
leak tested. Do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from
the Grill during installation.
WARNING! :
1. Do not remove the Grill from the pallet until you are ready
to install.
2. Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or any other
flat surface without support. This will prevent damaging
the regulator/hose assembly by the weight of the grill.

LP TANK RESTRAINT FOR BUILTIN INSTALLATION
If the grill is to be installed in a Built-in application, then the grill must be installed in accordance with the
Built–in installation guidelines.
If you intend to operate your Built-in grill on LP gas utilizing a 20 lb Type 1 cylinder, then the Built-in LP tank
restraint must be installed prior to initial use of the grill. If you do not have one please contact DCS Customer Care
at (888) 936-7872 for information on obtaining one.
The following steps will illustrate how to properly locate and install the LP tank restraint within the Built-in enclosure.
NOTE:
The grill comes with the LP Regulator/Hose assembly installed at the factory. The assembly, along with the entire grill
system, is leak tested.
Do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the grill during installation.
The maximum distance from the center
of the manifold cut out to the center of
the tank restraint is 18 “ / 45,7cm.
Center of Tank Restraint must be
placed within this area to avoid
causing stress on the LP regulator
hose connection.

STEP 2
Locate the tank restraint in the island within the recommended area
(Fig. 09 and 11).
STEP 3
Once located, secure to the bottom of the island using all eight hole
locations provided on the restraint. Wood screws can be used for
wooden floors or 1/4 inch diameter anchor screws or bolts may be
used if the floor is concrete or masonry (Fig. 12).
STEP 4
When secure, place the LP cylinder into the tank restraint making
sure to seat the tank all the way down, securely affixing the tank in
the restraint (Fig. 13).
STEP 5

INSTALLATION
LEAK TESTING
GENERAL:
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness
check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure
unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically 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. The valve panel must be removed to check the
valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve knob, then remove the 2 screws which fasten the
valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the
wires from the ignition module. In the back of the unit, remove the screws which hold the service panel in place.
Remove the service panel.
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 up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around the
connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Avoid getting the soap solution on or into the valve swtiches.
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. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves
where they screw into the manifold pipe.
BGC30-BQR models: To check rotisserie burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections located behind the service panel. 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.
WARNING!
Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply
shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings. Bubbles indicate leaks. (Fig. 15 & 16)

BURNER ADJUSTMENT
GRILL 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 type 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. 17. 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. Proceed with 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.
GRILL BURNER FLAME HEIGHT:
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 28, Fig. 40. 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 airshutter
counterclockwise 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.
Reinstall the U-burner, ensuring the burner is level. Light the burner
and check the flame. If all is okay, remove the burner (CAUTION burner may be hot, allow time to cool) and tighten the air shutter
screw. If not 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 or
gas conversion, you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow
in the low position. We do not recommend adjusting the infrared rotisserie
burner.
FIG. 17 Burner Flame Height
CLOSE
To Adjust:
1.
Light the burner.
2.
Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (all the way 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
(Fig. 18).
