SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
3
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 heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety
precautions must be followed when using kitchen appliances,including the following:
Read the 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 this installation instructions. 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
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.
WAR NING:
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.
WAR NING:
Do not store items of interest to children on or around the Drop-In Cooktop.
Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto or reach across the
appliance to reach these items.
Never store anything on the cooktop. Flammable materials can accidently 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.
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.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
4
Be certain to use only dry pot holders; moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause
burn injury 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.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in a
fire hazard.
WAR NING:
This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the
cooktop to warm or heat a room.
WAR NING:
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.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
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 any part of
the appliance.
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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
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. 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.For best
smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should BE INSTALLED A
MINIMUM OF 30" TO A MAXIMUM OF 36" ABOVE THE COOKING SURFACE. 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 outside replacement air is recommended. This is particularly
important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and
ventilating contractor should be consulted.

PREPARING FOR THE INSTALLATION:
Be sure to read page 6 for the proper ventilation requirements before you begin.
When making your CUTOUT refer to page 8-9 for cabinet preparation.
Step 1: Unpack the unit, the regulator, and remove all packing between all the burners, rings,
and caps. Remove the grates from their boxes.
Step 2: With the necessary tools and hardware ready, measure the distance from the back and
sides of the countertop and cabinet to locate the position of the cooktop Cutout.
Step 3: Make your Cutout according to the dimensions given on page 8 & 9.Square the cutout
to the countertop.
Step 4: Lower the cooktop into the countertop cutout, being careful not to damage the
counter, inlet pipe threads, or the power cord of the cooktop.
Step 5: Square the cooktop to the cutout and install the (4) retaining brackets onto the 8 holes
for CT-365 and (2) retaining brackets onto 4 holes for CT-304 located at the bottom of
the unit (See Figure 1 below). If hold down brackets are not installed, the cooktop will
not pull down to countertop.
Step 6: Tighten the 4 preloaded thumb screws which will keep the unit secured. Do Not Over-
tighten (See Figure 2 detail below).
NOTE: Some installations may not have adequate clearance at the front for the ‘Z’-shaped retain-
ing bracket.In those cases, use the ‘L’-bracket provided. Fasten the bracket to the bottom of
the cooktop chassis using one of the screw holes provided for the retaining brackets.Make
sure the bracket extends out far enough to contact the inside of the cabinet face.While pushing down on the front edge of the cooktop from above,attach the bracket to the cabinet.
This step wil insure that the edge of the cooktop is flush with the counter surface. Plug the
adjacent unused hole in the cooktop chassis with a screw.See Figure 3, page 8.
Step 7: Install the regulator with the arrow in the direction of the gas flow (towards the
cooktop) using a sealant on the male pipe threads. Put burner rings and burner caps in
place.
Step 8: Connect the gas line to the unit. Refer to page 9 for gas supply hookup.
Step 9: Turn ball valve to let the gas flow. Check for gas leak.
Step 10: Plug the unit into a wall outlet.
Step 11: Turn the front burner knob on first and apply a match to the burner until the gas lights,
being cautious not to burn your hand or other parts of your body.When the gas is first
activated,there is air present in the gas lines. The match applied to the burner makes it
easier and safer to clear the air/gas mixture. Use Caution to avoid burn injury.
Step 12: Put grates in place.
