SAFETY AND WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the appliance, follow the important safety instructions listed below:

WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard Accessible parts may become hot during use. Do not touch surface units or areas near units of the grill. Hood must be opened before lighting the grill. Never let clothing 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 fire or personal injury. 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 burner knob when you attempt to light the grill. 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 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. 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. To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools. Failure to follow this advice may result in burns and scalds or serious injury.

WARNING!

Explosion Hazard If you smell gas, do not use the appliance. Do not use water on grease fires, a violent steam explosion may result. Turn all burners off, then smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Do not heat unopened food containers such as cans – build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.

WARNING!

Fire Hazard Do not operate the grill under un protected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways, covered structures or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only. Never leave the grill unattended when in use. Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near this unit. Never fill the tank beyond Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight. Failure to follow this advice may result in death or serious injury.

Electrical Shock Hazard This appliance (rotisserie motor) is equipped with a three-prong or four-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded power outlet.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

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, in the cart or masonry enclosure.

Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.

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 Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst. y Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam

to escape. y Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this

manual (page 21). y After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 18). y Do not use aluminum 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 or after the appliance malfunctions or 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 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. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature

changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions. y Spiders and insects can nest in the grill burners, causing 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. y Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids

and vapors such as gasoline, charcoal or lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and

ventilation air. y 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. Refer to the “Grill Placement” section for

details if fitting a wind break. 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. y This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles,

trailers and/or boats. y Note: this product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the

Commonwealth of Massachusetts. y 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 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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!

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 pushed all the way to the back of the

grill. Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard. y Do not place griddle plates (some models only) side by side on the grill or on top of the Infrared

Hybrid Burner. y Do not use the Infrared Hybrid Burner on BGB-36” or BGB-48” models. Use on BH1-36” & BH1-48”

models only. y If a cart unit is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push the grill,

never pull. 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. y Never use the grill in a windy area. y Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane. Make sure you lock the castor wheels

before operating the grill. y Do not use charcoal or lighter fluid in the outdoor grill. y Keep any electrical supply cord, 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 Do not move the appliance during its use. y 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. 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 y Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation

or is hot. 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 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 BBQ

grill of these safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.

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 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.

should be set-up so that it blocks

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” 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” 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).

*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.

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.

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 Fig. 05. 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.

INSTALLATION

Locating Built-in Clearances

Clearances to combustible construction**

Minimum of 18” (457 mm) 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. 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.

**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 three 10x10” (645 x 645mm) 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.

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. 05) 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.

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 of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig. 07) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to 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.

The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas pressure to 11” W.C.

IMPORTANT!

Gas piping and connectors must be clamped within the the enclosure to avoid contact with moving parts and hot surfaces. Where the gas piping passes through an opening in the enclosure, the piping must be protected for a distance of at least 2” (50mm) either side of the opening.

INSTALLATION

Leak Testing

IMPORTANT!

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

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 Te st

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 in the valve switches. 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.

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.

IMPORTANT!

y Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak. y 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.

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.

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 to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the rotisserie burner) should be

(10mm)

visually checked and compared to that of the drawing in Fig.12. 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.

FIG. 12

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 35. With a screw driver, loosen the lock screw on the face of the air shutter slightly so that the air shutter can be adjusted.

⅜ "

1 ½ "

(38mm)

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 the burner 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, 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.

BEZEL

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.

Side burner flame height

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.

VALVE STEM

FIG. 13

y For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow

flames to curl up the side of the pan.

y Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames. If

you are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a slightly larger flame can be used.

USING THE GRILL

Lighting Instructions

Grill lighting instructions

IMPORTANT!

Open the grill lid and/or remove the top grate cover from side burner (for BH1-48RS) before lighting. Turn all knobs to “OFF”. Turn the main gas supply on. If you smell gas, shut-off gas supply and call for customer care.

Grill lighting instructions

The grill knob is connected to the electronic ignition module. Pushing in on the burner knob will activate the ignition module to get a spark. Push in and turn the selected burner 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.

Grill Match Lighting

If the burner will not light after several attempts, then the burner can be match lit. If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the ignition, allow five minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face as far away from the outdoor appliance as possible and hold a paper book match over the hole located on the top left for burner on the left, or the right hole for the right burner (Fig. 13). Push in and turn the control knob which is centered on the burner where the lit match is located, to “SEAR”. If the burner does not light in four seconds, turn the knob off, wait five minutes and try again.

FIG. 14

IMPORTANT!

Improper lighting procedures can cause the LP tank flow control to activate, resulting in reduced heat output. If this is suspected the flow control will need to be reset. For BH1-48RGI and BH1-36RGI models see the Quick Start Guide for how to use the griddle and Infrared Hybrid Burner.

Resetting the flow control

IMPORTANT!

Failure to follow the steps in the order shown may cause the Flow Limiting Device to activate resulting in extremely low gas flow and irregular operation.

IMPORTANT!

The side burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in operation.

Side Burners Lighting Instructions

First remove the burner cover and any cooking utensils from the burner grate. The control knob is connected to the electronic ignition module. Pushing in on the control knob will activate the ignition module to get a spark. Push the control knob in and turn to “HI”. If burner does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait five minutes before trying again for any accumulated gas to dissipate. If the burner will not light after several attempts, check the trouble shooting instructions on page 37.

Side Burners Match Lighting

Hold a lit paper book match near the burner ports, turn the control knob counterclockwise to “HI”. Move your hand immediately once the burner is lit. Rotate the control knob to the desired setting.

Note: if you are using propane gas, a slight pop or flash may occur at the burner ports a few seconds after the burner has been turned “OFF”. This “extinction pop” is normal for propane gas.

USING THE GRILL

Grilling

Grill

Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel radiant, and a stainless steel heat retaining grate. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr or 26,5MJ/h. Below the burners there is a stainless steel heat baffle 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. 17).

The grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. Because of the porosity of ceramic rods, performance is superior in the rods’ ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. They also possess the thermal mass needed for even cooking performance. Flare ups are controlled because the radiant ceramic rods keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by this system produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized. Discoloration of the grates is normal after use.

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. Turning too soon and too often is one of the most common grilling mistakes. 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 one degree below how you would like to enjoy them, as the resting period before carving or consuming will raise the temperature.

FIG. 17

Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect cooking uses heat from adjacent burners to cook food and, in many cases, reduces the possibility of overcooked or overly browned food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling included breads, thicker pieces of chicken or steaks. Indirect cooking involves placing the food on grates where the burners below are not lit 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 basting pan to hold food and add water or chicken broth to the pan to prevent the natural juices from burning or evaporating.

IMPORTANT!

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 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.
