SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance has been designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance.
When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type appliance provides intense
eat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen
h
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 has not 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 sealed. 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 and for your
protection it must be done by a qualified service technician.
■
If by some chance a burner goes out and does not re-ignite 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.
■
This appliance has been factory assembled for Natural Gas or Liquid Propane as indicated by the model number.
■
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 service technician.
WARNING:
Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They should never be
wed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
allo
WARNING:
Do not store items of interest to children on or ar
ould be seriously injured if they should climb onto or reach across the appliance to reach these items.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
■
Be certain to use only dry pot holders; moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burn injury from
team. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot burners,
s
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.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in a
fire hazard.
WARNING:
This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the cooktop to warm or heat a room.
WARNING:
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. A possible boil over could cause smoking
or greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over
which effects the igniter, the unburned gas will escape into the room, which would be extremely dangerous.
■
Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable
for use on the open flame of the cooktop. Utensils that are not thermally heat safe may break with sudden
temperature changes.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
■
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats at the bottom of the pan and does not curl
around the bottom edges of the pan. This could heat and/or melt the handles.
■
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 accidental spill overs, position handles of utensils inward
so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the outside edges of the cooktop.
■
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
■
Grease is flammable. Do not use water on grease fires. Turn OFF the burner, then smother the fire with baking
soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the base of the cooktop burners. Clean after each use or boil over.
■
Use splatter screens over pans when frying foods to minimize possible grease burns. Be sure not to use a flame
that is too high.
■
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.
■
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 vapor does not
accumulate.
■
Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire. 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. Service technicians must disconnect the power supply
before servicing this appliance.

California Proposition 65 - Warning: 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.
Note:
This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

COOKTOP USE
CAUTION:
For warranty coverage, DCS requires that burner adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used when adjustments are made after installation.
CONTROL KNOBS:
The control knobs and knob bezels are readily associated with the burners they control and are located on the
right hand side of the Cooktop. The sealed top burners have an infinite number of heat settings and there are no
fixed positions on the control knobs between HI and SIM (with the exception of LOW). To light the burner push
control knob in and rotate counterclockwise. An audible clicking sound will be heard and the burner should light
immediately. To use, turn the knob to the desired setting.
COOKING UTENSILS:
For best results we recommend using Professional Cookware.
These 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.

BURNERS:
Your new Drop-In Cooktop is equipped with burners
typical of those used in restaurants. These restaurant
style burners are comprised of high strength die cast
aluminum burner bases and simmer port rings,
precision forged brass port rings, and cast iron
burner caps.
Model CTD-365 cooktop is equipped with 4 burners
rated at 11,000 Btu/hr, and one high-output burner
rated at 17,500 Btu/hr. Model CTD-304 is equipped
with 2 burners rated at 11,000 Btu/hr, 1 burner rated
at 10,000 and 1 high-output burner rated at 15,500
Btu/hr (for natural gas). All Drop-In Cooktop burners
have exceptionally low simmer capabilities (See chart
on page 7). The burner system is designed for
maximum cleanability and control. All the cooktop
burners have electronic spark re-ignition to eliminate
continuously burning pilot; if the flame is blown out,
it will relight.

of liquid a slightly larger flame can be used.
BURNER GRATES:
The cast iron burner grates are fully porcelain coated for long life and
rust prevention. Hi-Temperature cushions allow the grate to rest softly on
the cooktop without scratching. The grates are designed for easy sliding
of pots across the grate tops. They were designed in interlocking sections
to make them safer, easier to remove and clean. For additional cleaning
tips see the care and maintenance section.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE COOKTOP
WARNING:
Be careful cleaning any part of this appliance while hot.
All parts of the appliance can be cleaned with a small amount of hot soapy water, rinsed, dried
and buffed to a shine with a soft, heavy pile cloth. Always try this first, as it is the mildest
cleaning procedure.
1. Use the mildest cleansers first. Some brands of cleaners are harsher than others and may cause
metal parts to discolor or corrode, read their directions. 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.
2. To avoid marring the surfaces, always rub metal finishes in the direction of the polish lines.
The cleaner will be more effective when used in the direction of the polish lines.
3. Use only clean sponges, soft cloths, paper towels, and plastic non-metal for cleaning or scouring
(use only soap pads with soap still in them, an empty pad can scratch), as recommended in this
section.
4. Be sure to rinse all parts thoroughly and wipe dry to avoid water marks.
5. If stains remain on the bottom of the cooktop sump, use this easy procedure. Place a paper collar
around the burner and igniter, tape it together. This will cover the aluminum under the burner
cap and the igniter. Spray the dirty area with Easy Off® or SOS Oven Cleaner® when cool. Cover
with paper towel. Leave on for 4 hours or overnight. With a warm wet sponge, wipe clean and
polish with a lint free soft towel. You should never use anything stronger than a sponge or a
plastic non-metal sponge on your cooktop.
BRAND NAMES:
In this section, the use of name brands is intended only to indicate a type of cleaner. This does
not constitute an endorsement. The omission of any name brand cleaner does not imply its
adequacy or inadequacy. Many products are regional in distribution and can be found in the
local markets and department stores.
CLEANING THE BURNER GRATES:
Turn off all the burners and allow the grates to cool before starting to clean the cooktop.
Rapid cooling of the grates, for instance, placing hot grates in cool or tepid water to clean, can
thermally shock the porcelain coating and cause cracking or chipping. If you wipe off any part of
the cooktop while it is hot, do so carefully as using a wet sponge or cloth can result in steam
burns.
Once the grates are cool they may be wiped clean while on the cooktop using hot soapy water,
then rinsed and wiped dry or they may be placed in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. The
occasional use of mild abrasive cleansers such as Bon-Ami®, Soft Scrub® or a soap-filled plastic or
non-metal pad is okay. Abrasive cleansers, used vigorously or too often, can eventually harm the
enamel. Apply with a damp sponge, rinse thoroughly and dry.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE BURNERS:
For proper lighting and performance, keep the burners
lean and dry. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do
c
not light although the igniter clicks, whenever there has
been a severe boil over or when the flame doesn’t burn
blue.
Be certain all burner knobs are in the
attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been
designed for ease of cleaning. When the grates and burners
are cool, remove the grate. The Burner Cap and the Brass
Port Ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts in hot
soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The Burner Caps are
porcelain enamel, follow the directions on page 8 that were
given to clean the burner grates. A bristle brush can be
used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if necessary.
Disassembly of the Simmer Ring is not recommended,
however, it may become necessary to do so if the ports
remain clogged after normal cleaning. If it is necessary to
disassemble the Simmer Ring from the Base, remove the
Hex Nut at the top of the Simmer Ring. Clean the Simmer
Ring with hot soapy water using a soft wire or plastic
bristle brush then dry thoroughly. Re-assemble the parts
using the Hex Nut.

After cleaning, it is important to make sure the Locating Pin on the bottom side of the Simmer Ring is properly
aligned with the corresponding hole in the Base and that the Locating Pin (see above) in the bottom side of the
Brass Port Ring is properly aligned with the Locating Notch on the top side of the Simmer Ring. Incorrect
alignment will produce a potentially dangerous flame and poor burner performance. See the illustration above.
CLEANING THE IGNITERS:
Be certain all burner knobs are in the OFF position before attempting to clean the igniters. Gently wipe with an
alcohol dampened cotton swab and be careful not to damage the igniter.
