HOW TO OBTAIN SERVICE 20
WARRANTY 21-22
When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance is designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance. When
using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type of appliance provides intense heat
and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen
appliances, including the following:
Read this Use and Care Manual thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to reduce the risk of
fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions which came with this
appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this appliance before using.
Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so you will know how and where to
turn off the gas to the appliance.
If you smell gas, the installer may not have done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a small leak
and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight. Finding a gas leak is not a “do-it-
yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position; for your
protection it must be done by a qualified service technician.
If by some chance a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air out. Do not
attempt to use the appliance or turn any electrical switch on or off until the gas has had time to dissipate.
Follow the instructions on page 1, “For Your Safety– if You Smell Gas”.
This appliance has been factory assembled for natural or LP gas. It should be correctly adjusted from the
factory.
Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be
allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on, and/or touch on any part of an appliance while in
operation.
WARNING!
Do not stor
e items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance. Children could be seriously injured
if they should climb on
to the appliance to reach these items.
Never store anything on the cooktop. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic items may melt or ignite and
other types of items could be ruined.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.
If the appliance is near a window be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop burners; they
could catch on fire.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn all burners OFF, then smother fire with a metal lid, baking soda or use a
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or get too close to, any
burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
Be certain to use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam.
Do not use a towel or other bulky or frayed cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot
burners, or burner grates.
SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
3
4
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while
using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. This will cause heat to be trapped underneath it. This
t
rapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the cooktop parts.
This appliance is for cooking. Never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room. This could damage the cooktop
parts.
When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding area. Areas adjacent to
the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. When cooking with high flame settings,
boil overs may cause smoking and greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are
smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, unburned gas will escape into the room.
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable
for cooktop use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium
flames settings according to the manufacturer’s directions. The use of professional utensils is recommended.
Do not heat sealed food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. This could heat and/or melt the handles, and may increase cooking time.
Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the flame to direct contact with the sides and may result in ignition of clothing.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spill overs, position handles of utensils
inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the cooktop.
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect
around the cooktop burners. Clean after each use or boil over.
For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports clean. It may be necessary to
clean these when there is a boil spill or when the burner does not light, even though the electronic igniters
click.
Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups. Do not use
cooking utensils on the grill.
Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop
while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by
the cleaner manufacturer.
Be sure all the cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner
on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat,
ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
SAFETY PRACTICE AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
5
Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does
n
ot accumulate on them.
T
urn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The
blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is
available.
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the cooking surface.
Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before
servicing this appliance.
WARNING!
California Proposition 65 - The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are known by the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit
according to the instructions contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking
with gas.
SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY:
A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from the front for the
purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of the unit. Make
sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes or
ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

COOKTOP USE
BURNERS
Y
our new professional cooktop is equipped with burners typical of those
used in restaurants. These burners are designed for maximum
c
leanability and controllability. The large cap spreads the simmer heat
out to avoid too much heat being concentrated on the center of the
pan. The simmer flame is always “on” when the burner is in use. The
burner should never be operated if the cap is not in place. All the
cooktop burners have electronic spark ignition to eliminate continuously
burning pilots; when the burner is on and the flame is blown out, it will
relight.
SIMMERING
Your new professional cooktop has exceptionally
low simmering capabilities. The large cap serves as
a heat diffuser to spread out the heat to avoid
having a center hotspot. Keep in mind that because
of the high heat capacity of the retention flame, and
the mass of the cast iron burner grates (they retain
heat longer than lighter, conventional grates) some
foods may continue to cook by retained heat after
the burner has been turned off. Should a strong
draft or boil over extinguish the simmer flame it will
relight automatically as the main burner would.

BURNER EFFICIENCY AND FLAME CHARACTERISTICS
It is necessary to keep the burner ports and the igniters clean
for proper lighting and efficient performance of the cooktop
burners (Fig. 02). The burner flame should burn completely
around the burner with no excessive noise or lifting. The
flame should be blue in color and stable with no yellow tips.
An improper air-gas mixture may cause either a burner flutter
or a yellow tipped flame. During initial use, foreign particles
in the gas line, or dust in the air around the appliance may
cause an orange flame. This will disappear with use.
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.
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 (see Fig. 03). This will discolor
or damage the utensil.
Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low flame. If you
are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a slightly larger flame can be used.
COOKTOP BURNERS
The cooktop burners must be kept clean. Cleaning of the cooktop burners should include the igniter. The
cooktop burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are no fixed positions on the control knobs
between “HI” and “LO”. To turn the cooktop burner on, push in on the control knob and turn it counter-
clockwise to the “LITE” position. An audible clicking sound will be heard. When the gas has been ignited by
the electronic spark igniter, turn the knob to the desired setting. (The clicking sound should stop as soon as
the burner is lit).
WARNING!
When turning on any cooktop burner, be sure to stop at the “LITE” position before turning the burner to a flame
setting f
or cooking. If the burner is not lit and it is turned beyond the “LITE” position, to HI, MEDIUM, or LO, there
could be a burst of flame when the burner does ligh
t
.

ELECTRONIC IGNITERS
If a burner does not ignite, listen for the clicking sound. If the igniter is not
c
licking, TURN OFF THE BURNER. Check the circuit breaker for a blown fuse or
a tripped circuit breaker. If the igniter still fails to operate, see page 20,
Before Calling For Service”. To light the burner manually, see page 17,
“Power Failure”.
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 “0FF”. This “extinction
pop” is normal for propane gas.

COOKTOP USE
BURNER GRATES
The burner grates are heavy cast iron. They
h
ave a flat surface making it easy to move
large pans from one burner to another. They
were designed in sections to make them easier
to remove and clean. (See Fig. 04 & 05)
COOKWARE
For best results we recommend using profes-
sional cookware. This type of utensil can be
found at your finer department stores, specialty
cooking shops, or restaurant supply stores. If
using regular cookware, be very careful if the pans have plastic handles, as these large professional size burners
can flame up on the outside of the pan and melt or bubble the handles.
CONTROL KNOBS
The control knobs are readily associated with the burners they control. The cooktop control knobs are labeled
and are in front of the burners. The griddle controller is placed slightly lower than the other control knobs. This
is due to the physical size of the commercial type thermostats used on the product.
WOK RING [Purchase separately]
A Wok ring is available as an accessory for your new
DCS appliance. To purchase a wok ring accessory
(model # WRS) for use on your range or cooktop
please contact an authorized DCS Dealer. The ring is
cast iron, and has a porcelain enamel finish. It can
be used with the DCS model CW wok and most
commercially available woks. To use the ring, place
it on the grate over the desired burner. The vertical
tabs on the ring should be aligned with the main
fingers of the grate. The small protrusions on the
bottom surface of the ring should straddle the grate
fingers to prevent the ring from rotating during
cooking. See Fig. 06. The bottom of the wok should
be supported and retained by the vertical tabs of
the ring.
For best performance on 36” and 48” models, the
ring and wok should be used on the burners that are
in positions 1,4,5, and 6 (see page 9) as they have
the highest output on the top section. To clean the
wok ring, place it in the dishwasher after use.
Stubborn food deposits may be removed by soaking
to loosen the soil, then washing as usual.

GRILL
The two grill grates are reversible (see Fig. 07). The grill grates are made of durable stainless steel. One side of
the grate is ridged (side A) and should be used for foods where you want the fat to run off, such as steak or
hamburger patties. The ridges are slopped so the fat runs toward the front of the grill and can easily run down
t
o the cooler area of the drip tray and away from the intense heat of the burner. The other side of the grate
(side B) is designed for foods that need more support while cooking, such as fish and vegetables. Food cooked
on the grill section achieves the same flavor as food cooked on an outdoor grill. The intense radiant heat from
the ceramic rods caramelizes the fats and juices that are brought to the surface of the food, giving it the
barbecued flavor.
ELECTRIC GLOW IGNITER
The grill burners are equipped with an electric glow igniter and safety valve
system which lights the gas. There will be a delay of 30 to 90 seconds after the
control knob has been turned on to when you actually hear the burner come on.
The burner will ignite within 4 seconds after the gas reaches the burner.
NOTE:
This gas grill may cook slightly faster than you are used to, thus preheat and
grilling times should b
e adjusted accor
dingly.
CERAMIC RODS
The layer of ceramic rods, under the grill grates, will last for many years with
proper care. They are shipped from the factory pre-assembled on the radiant
tray, ready to be set in place into the fire box, under the grill grates. Be sure to
remove any packaging material from the radiant tray and rods before using the
grill. Burned food particles and ash can be emptied off the radiant tray when
cool by shaking over a waste receptacle. Chipping or cracking of the ceramic
rods may occur as they may get brittle with age, depending on frequency of use.
This is normal and does not affect the cooking performance. Do not replace the
radiant tray/ceramic rods with alternates. Contact DCS for genuine factory-direct replacement parts, 1-888-281-
5698 or see page 1 for contact information.
USE OF THE GRILL
Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place and that you have the grill
grates turned to the side you want for grilling. Preheat the grill for 15 minutes with the control knob set on HI.
Place the food on the grill. Grill it to the doneness desired. The control knob may be set to any position
between “HI’ and “LO”. For proper searing and browning, the grill requires high heat. With large pieces of
meat or poultry, you may need to turn the heat to medium to low setting after the food has been seared. This
lower heat setting will allow the food to cook through without burning the outside. When using a sugary
marinade or barbecue sauce, it may be necessary to turn the heat setting down near the end of the grilling
time. Do not leave the grill unattended while it is turned on. When you are finished grilling, allow the drip
trays to cool before cleaning them. They should be cleaned each time they are used.
NOTE:
The longer y
ou pr
eheat the grill
, the darker the grill marks will appear.
EXCESSIVE FLARE UPS AND FLAMING
Occasionally grease drippings ignite. These drippings will create minor puffs of flame for a second or two. This
is normal when cooking on a grill. You may find it handy to have a spray bottle filled with water to lightly spray
the flare-up. If the flame becomes excessive, remove the food from the grill. Lower the heat setting. Replace
the food when the flare-up subsides. To prevent flare-ups from happening, trim the fat from around the edges
of steaks and chops, use hamburger that is lean, remove the fat that is on poultry, etc. When turning any kind
of meat or poultry, the melted fat will drop onto the ceramic rods and it may create a flare-up. If this happens,
use a long handled spatula to move the food to another area.
GRILL USE

GRILL USE
GRILLING HINTS
W
hen grilling, the ventilation fan must be set on “HI” to remove smoke and odors. The fan can be turned to
“LO” after cooking is complete to remove any leftover smoke.
The doneness of meat is affected by the thickness of the cut. It is impossible to cook a thin piece of meat to a
rare doneness. A steak should be at least 1-inch thick to have it turn out rare and juicy. The cooking time is
affected by the temperature of the meat when you start to cook it, the size and shape of the cut and the kind of
meat you are cooking. The degree of doneness desired also affects the time.
When turning the meat over, always use a spatula or tongs as it will not puncture the meat allowing the juices
to run out. This will help to keep the meat juicy. Turn the meat only once, as juices are lost when the meat is
repeatedly turned. Be sure to trim any excess fat from meat or poultry. To prevent steaks or chops from curling
while they are being cooked, slit the fat around the edges at about 2-inch intervals. To test for doneness, make
a small cut in the center of the meat.
The built-in griddle on your cooktop is made from Type 304
stainless steel, highly polished to provide a smooth cooking
surface. It is normal for it to darken with use as oils cook onto
the surface to provide a stick resistant base or “seasoning”.
Since the griddle is made from stainless steel, the surface will
not rust. The griddle burner is thermostatically controlled and
cycles on and off to maintain the set temperature. The
HEATING light indicates that the burner is “ON”. The READY
light indicates that the griddle is at the set temperature. The
griddle assembly is not to be removed for cleaning and is held
in place by two front screws and one rear screw. These are
mainly there to keep the griddle from shifting in transit, thus
avoiding breakage of any ignition components. Once the unit
is installed, the rear shipping screw can be removed. It is
located beneath the griddle flue cover which is removed by
lifting off (be careful not to scratch your backguard during
removal of the cover). Remove the center shipping screw. The
two outer screws are leveling screws (Fig. 08). They can be
turned to level the griddle or to provide a forward slope to
help grease and oils drain away from the food being cooked.
After using the griddle a few times, you will be able to judge
the slope best for the foods you are cooking and your personal
preference.
ELECTRIC GLOW IGNITER
The griddle burners are equipped with an electric glow igniter
and safety valve system which lights the gas. There will be a
delay of 30 to 90 seconds after the control knob has been
turned on to when you actually hear the burner come on. The
burner will ignite within 4 seconds after the gas reaches the
burner.

GRIDDLE USE
BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME OR TO RE-SEASON
1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any protective coating.
2. Rinse with a mixture of 1cup water and 1/4 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly.
3. Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the center of the griddle (do not use corn oil as it gets sticky). Rub the oil
over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy soft cloth.
4. Turn the control knob to a Medium setting (350ºF). Turn the heat “Off” when the oil begins to smoke. Allow the
griddle to cool.
5. Repeat Step 3. Be sure to cover the entire surface with the oil.
6. Repeat Step 4. Allow the griddle to cool. Wipe the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy soft cloth. Apply a
very thin layer of vegetable oil. The griddle is now ready to use. If the griddle is not used for a period of time,
re-season it occasionally.
NOTE:
It is normal for the griddle to darken with use.
USE OF THE GRIDDLE
Before starting to cook on the griddle, be sure the drip tray and liners are in place. Preheat griddle for 15
minutes with the control knob set to the temperature suggested on the cooking chart. When the griddle is
preheated, the HEATING light will turn “Off” and the ready light will be “On”. Place the food on the griddle and
cook to desired doneness.
NOTE:
When the griddle is properly seasoned it can be used without any additional oil. However, it can be used for flavor.
A light mist of non-stick vegetable spray, applied before cooking to a cool griddle, makes delicate foods easier to
turn.
