INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION

The cooktops are tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances.
These cooktops must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See ventilation
requirements). Due to the professional high heat capacity of this unit, particular attention should be paid to
the hood and duct work installation to ensure it meets local building codes. To eliminate risk of burns or fire by
reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.

Check local building codes for the proper method of cooktop installation. Local codes vary. Installation,
electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local codes, the
cooktop should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 and National Electrical
Code ANSI / NFPA 70. Be sure that the unit being installed is set up for the kind of gas being used. The gas
cooktop is shipped from the factory set and adjusted for natural gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific
model ordered. Verify that the cooktop is compatible with gas supply at the installation site before
proceeding further. Return cooktop to dealer if unit is not set for site gas supply.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

US
CA

When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance has been de signed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance.
When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type appliance provides intense
heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen
appliances, including the following:

■

Read the user guide, which came with this appliance, 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 in this manual. 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 has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. Shut the gas to the appliance off

and follow the instructions on the inside front cover of this manual. Do not attempt to find the leak yourself. This
must be done by a qualified service technician only.

■

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 until the gas has had time to dissipate. Follow the instructions on the inside front
cover of this manual.

■

This appliance has been factory assembled for natural or LP gas. It should be correctly ad justed from the factory

for the type of gas that is used.

■

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 any part of an appliance while in operation.

WARNING:

Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance. Children could be seriously injured
if they should climb onto 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 or place anything against the oven. 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 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 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 cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners, or
burner grates.

■

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.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Doing so, heat will be trapped underneath it. This

trapped heat can upset the cooking perfor mance 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.

WARNING! NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.

Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.

■

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 affects 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 unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

US
CA

■

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 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 over 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.

■

Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does not

accumulate on them.

■

Turn 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.

REQUIREMENTS FOR HOOKUP TO GAS SUPPLY

■

The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician in accordance with local codes or

ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the latest edition of National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z.223.1 (Warning: this appliance must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when within
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts).

■

A manual shut-off valve (supplied by the installer) must be installed in an accessible location

in the gas line external to the appliance for the purpose of turning on or shutting off gas to
the appliance. (In Massachusetts such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of
State Examiners of Plumbers & Gas Fitters.) The shut-off valve must be located within 6 feet
(1.8 metres) of the appliance it serves.

■

Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance

■

UNPACKING AND HANDLING

US
CA

CAUTION:

Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the cooktop to avoid personal injury or
damage to the unit.

MOVING AND PLACING THE COOKTOP

The cooktops have a shipping weight of approximately 228 pounds (36” models) and 324 pounds (48” models).
After removal of packing materials, it is recommended that the grates and grease drip-pan (some models only)
be removed to facilitate handling. This will reduce the weight to about 150 pounds.

■

DO NOT REMOVE THE GRILL OR GRIDDLE ASSEMBLIES.

It may be necessary to remove the cooktop knobs to pass through some doorways. With the knobs removed a
29-3/8” wide opening is required. Remove the outer carton and packing material from the shipping base. The
cooktop is held to the skid by four straps. After removing the straps, the cooktop must be lifted and removed
from the skid.

■

The professional cooktop should be moved close to its final location. Electric and gas connections should be

made and the backguard installed before the cooktop is placed in its final position.

ANCHORING THE COOKTOP

■

Due to the weight of the cooktop, it is not necessary to anchor the unit to the counter.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the cooktop. The following chart indicates the minimum

blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.

CAUTION:

Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting. However, some local building codes
or inspectors may require double wall ducting and/or damper. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies,
before starting, to ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.

Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned household air
when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is only required when using
the grill.

For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30” to a maximum of
36” above the cooktop cooking surface, see section ‘Cabinet preparation’. If the hood contains any combustible
materials (i.e. a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36” above the cooking surface.

Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of make-up air (outside replacement air) is recommended. This
is particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating contractor
should be consulted.

CABINET PREPARATION

US
CA

1. To ensure professional results, the cabinet and countertop openings should be prepared by a qualified cabinet
worker. We recommend having the cooktop available before cutting the opening for more precise dimension
verification.

2. The clearances shown in Fig. 6 are required for all types of backguard installations.

3. The cooktop must be supported from the bottom. Provide a platform or some other means of support to set the
cooktop on.

NOTE:

Opening is required for gas and electrical.

4. The cooktop can be installed in various positions with the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop depth.

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