SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

Your new DCS Professional appliance has been designed to be a safe and reliable appliance. However, use extreme care when using this restaurant caliber appliance as it provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed, including the following:

Read all instructions carefully before using this appliance to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the instal-

lation instructions provided with the unit. Have the technician show you the location of the gas shut-off valve so that you know how and where to turn off the gas.

■ If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. Connections can loosen in transit.

If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak and, therefore, a faint gas smell. Finding a gas leak is not a do-it-yourself procedure. Call the installer to recheck the installation as some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position.

■ Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing

should be referred to a qualified technician.

■ Never block the front face of the unit as it will affect the flow of combustion and ventilation of air.

■ Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be

allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

CAUTION:

Do not store items of interest to children above this unit or at the back of it. If children should climb onto an appliance to reach these items, they could be seriously injured.

When using this appliance: DO NOT TOUCH IT OR THE AREAS NEAR IT. Areas adjacent to appliances may become hot enough to cause burns.

■ Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any appliance

while in operation. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

■ For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while

cooking. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.

WARNING:

This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the Wok to warm or heat a room.

■ Clean any appliance with caution. A wet sponge or cloth used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area can result in

steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

■ Never use any part of an appliance for storage. Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items may ignite

or melt.

■ Do not use aluminum foil as a shield against food spills or drippings around any appliance. This could obstruct

the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

■ If the appliance is near a window, be certain the curtains cannot blow over or near it - they could catch fire.

■ The ventilation hood and the filters above your appliance should be cleaned frequently, so grease from cooking

vapors will not accumulate on them.

any appliance until the gas has had time to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before using a gas appliance.

■ Be sure all appliance controls are turned OFF and they are cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or

around any gas appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

■ Never leave the wok unattended when on. Greasy spill-overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames

are smothered, unburned gas may escape into the room.

■ California Proposition 65 -

WARNING:

Burning 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 these units according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.

WOK COOKTOP INSTALLATION

A VENTILATING HOOD OF ADEQUATE CFM CAPACITY VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE MUST BE INSTALLED ABOVE THIS WOK. FOR MOST KITCHENS WITH A WALL MOUNTED HOOD, A CERTIFIED HOOD RATING OF NOT LESS THAN 900 CFM IS REQUIRED. THE HOOD MUST BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FURNISHED WITH THE HOOD.

1. To ensure professional results, the cabinet and countertop openings should be prepared by a qualified cabinet worker.

2. The clearances shown in Fig.1 are required for installations of wok cooktop and backguard.

3. The wok cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop by its side flanges. The countertop however, must be strong enough to support this heavy wok cooktop. It may be necessary to add a 2 x 4 corner brace (See Fig. 5) or supporting cleats along each side (See Fig. 3). Another alternate would be to construct a deck to set the wok cooktop on (See Fig. 4, 5, 6).

4. The wok cooktop can be installed in various positions with the front either flush or projecting, depending on the countertop depth. (See Fig. 2 side view of wok cooktop; see Figs. 4-6 for alternate mounting positions.)

5. Establish the centerline of the wok cooktops desired location. It should be the same as the center of the overhead ventilation hood.

6. Cut the opening for the following installations:

■ Standard wok cooktop installations (See Fig.4).

■ Deep counter or island installations (See Fig.5).

NOTE: If the deck is used, the sides or bottom of the cutout may be solid combustible or noncombustible material. If the bottom is solid, provide 5” x 5” cutout in the left rear corner for the gas inlet and power cord clearance.

If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides, you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to match the counter top notch and to allow clearance for the cooktop front (See Fig.6).

Lift and place the wok cooktop in the opening. Be careful not to pinch the power cord or gas inlet between anything. Anchor the wok cooktop; ensure that the appliance is in place and level (See Fig.7).

For cabinets with side access, screw the 2 “L” shaped brackets (supplied) into the holes provided using the #10 sheet-metal screws as shown in Fig.7. Then using the 1/4 - 20 bolt and nuts (supplied), anchor as shown.

For cabinets with no side access, first fasten the brackets to the cabinet side wall using a suitable fastener. Then drill two 5/32” dia. holes upward into the bottom of wok cooktop and fasten as shown in Fig 7.

A appliance. Observe all governing codes and ordinances when grounding, in absence of which, observe National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA No. 70.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a threeprong grounding plug (with polarized parallel blades). It must be plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120 Volt circuit. If the circuit does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility and obligation of the installer or user to have the existing receptacle changed to a properly grounded and polarized receptacle in accordance with all applicable local codes and ordinances by a qualified electrician. In the absence of local codes and ordinances the receptacle replacement shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.

THE THIRD PRONG SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, BE CUT OR REMOVED

(See Fig. 8 & 9).

Fig. 8

ALTERNATE GROUNDING METHOD

If installation of a properly grounded wall receptacle is impossible at the time of installation, consult your local electrical inspector for permission to connect a temporary adapter (with polarized blades) which could be plugged into your present 2-wire receptacle; however, this is not recommended. If this is done, you must attach the lug and/or the green adapter wire to the receptacle cover plate screw. Ground from it to a grounded metal cold water pipe* (See Fig.9). Do not ground to a gas supply pipe. You must permanently ground the adapter before connecting the appliance to the power supply.

CAUTION:

Attaching the adapter ground wire to wall receptacle cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is grounded through house wiring.

If there is any doubt as to whether the wall receptacle is properly grounded, the customer should have it checked by a qualified electrician.

* Cold water pipe must have metal continuity. The electrical ground cannot be interrupted by plastic, rubber or other electrically insulating connectors (including water meter or pump) without adding a jumper wire at these connections (See Fig.10).
