SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
y After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for
gas leaks, deterioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.
y Always use a covered hand when opening the grill hood and only do so slowly to allow heat and
steam to escape.
y After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 20).
y Do not use aluminium foil to line drip pans or grill grates or radiants. This can severely upset
combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted
knobs or damaged ignition components.
y Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions or after the
appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
y Do not let the rotisserie cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
y Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.
y Do not use lighter fluid in the charcoal burner insert or on the gas burners.
y Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
y Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and hooked into the front of the grease
tray (see Fig. 34 on page 40 for diagram). Without it hot grease could leak downward and
produce a fire or explosion hazard.
y If you are using griddle plates, do not place them side by side on the grill or on top of the
Infrared Hybrid Burner.
y Never use the grill in a windy area.
y Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this
manual.
y Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane.
y Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the
grill and water (pools, fountains, puddles).
y Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free
and clear from debris.
y Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with
water or other liquids.
y Do not move the appliance during its use.
y Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would
result in injury or death.
y When using a grill, be sure that all parts of the unit are firmly in place and that the grill is stable
(can’t be tipped over).
y To put out flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature
y Do not ignite the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit.
y Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in
operation or is hot.
y CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING: the burning of 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
this unit according to the manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.
y This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles,
trailers and/or boats.
y This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
y Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond
cylinder filling capacity. This “overfilling” may create a dangerous condition. “Overfilled” tanks
can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tank pressure relief valve will vent propane
gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited.
To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:
y When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than
of its total capacity.
y If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near
or under the grill unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker
with this warning is provided with the grill. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.
y Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.
y Push in and turn the selected control knob to HI/SEAR position. Release the knob when the
burner lights. If burner does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait five
minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.
y Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “ON”. If there is
evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
y Follow the installation instructions within this manual. Have your grill installed by a qualified
installer. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you
know where and how to shut off the gas to the grill. If the connections are not perfectly sealed,
you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Some leaks can only be found with the
burner control in the “ON” position - this must be done by a qualified technician.
y Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never
allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, portions of the
grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
y Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill.
y Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks,
or insect activity. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section
carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.
y Never use the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit.

INSTALLATION
Locating Grill/Built-in Clearances
IMPORTANT!
Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill.
Loosen the four screws. Slide the shipping bracket off and
re-tighten the screws.
Location
When determining a suitable location, take into account concerns such as exposure to wind,
proximity to traffic paths and keeping any gas or electrical supply lines as short as possible and away
from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill under overhead
unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed
or other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. Ensure
that the grill is used in a well ventilated area.
If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the
front of the grill as shown in Fig. 01b. This will assist the grill in venting hot air through the back of
the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from blowing at someone who is cooking on the
grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear of the
grill (Fig. 01a), a windscreen must be installed. The windscreen
wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig. 01c. Location of the
windscreen relative to rear of the grill must adhere to the clearances specified for combustible or
non-combustible construction as defined in these instructions. Refer to following pages.
should be set-up so that it blocks
As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the
combustion process. Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the
exhaust products out through the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy
conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air though your grill, leading to reduced performance, or in
certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. This can lead to problems such as
having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.
Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or
igniter wires, or valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.

Clearances to non-combustible construction*
A minimum of 3” (76mm) clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction
is required for the purpose of allowing the hood to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6”
(153mm) rear and side clearance to non-combustible construction above the cooking surface for
counter space. If you’ll be using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer
clearance. The grill can be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the
cooking surface (Fig. 02).
Note: if intending to use the rotisserie, the minimum clearance will be from the rotisserie motor
instead of the side of the grill.

slate, and plaster.
General
The grill is designed for easy placement into built-in masonry enclosures. For non-combustible
applications the grill drops into the opening shown in Fig. 05 and hangs from its side flanges. A
deck is not required to support it from the bottom. When using the insulated jacket in a combustible
enclosure application, see the Fig. 06. The insulation jacket assembly must be supported from the
bottom by a ledge on each side and back or a solid deck.
A spirit level should be used to ensure that the unit is level both front-to-back and side-to-side. If
it is not level, burner combustion may be erratic or the unit may not function efficiently for grease
flow. If the floor is uneven, re-leveling may be required whenever a freestanding unit is moved.
IMPORTANT!
y Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or
serious personal injury.
y The grill is designed to function in an open area. Recommended minimum clearances should be
maintained to all surfaces (combustible and non-combustible) for optimum performance. Noncombustible material within the minimum clearance area could result in discoloration or deterioration.
y If a non-combustible material such as stucco is covering a combustible material such as wood, the
minimum clearance distance needs to be considered for wood. The presence of a non-combustible
material inside the clearance zone does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible
material.

Clearances to combustible construction**
Minimum of 18” (457mm) from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical
combustible construction, above the counter top level. Intense heat, and large volumes of smoke will
exhaust from the rear of the grill (Fig. 01b). This may discolor or damage unprotected areas. Do not
install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.
A 18” (457mm) minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible construction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket. Insulated jackets can be
purchased from our website, www.dcsappliances.com.

**DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Any materials of a building structure or decorative
structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that
are capable of transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered
combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered.
IMPORTANT!
It is required that a minimum of three 10x10" (645 x 645mm) of ventilation opening be provided for
both the left and right sides, as well as the back of enclosure (Fig. 05), in order to safely dissipate
unburned gas vapors in the event of a gas supply leak.
Insulated jacket
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary.
Insulated jackets are available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has
specifically been designed and tested for this purpose. Review the detail drawing shown (Fig. 06)
and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up clearance in the right rear corner.
It is required that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure to eliminate the potential build-up
of gas in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat and strong
enough to support the grill and insulated jacket. The counter should also be level.
IMPORTANT!
Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire,
property damage and personal injury.

Leak Testing
IMPORTANT!
Gas leak testing must be carried out by a qualified technician.
General
Regularly check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Before Testing
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder.
To Test
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all
connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder. Apply the soap solution around the connection,
tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is
present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck.
If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer you
purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used
on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.
IMPORTANT!
y Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
y Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the
gas supply shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings, bubbles indicate leaks

INSTALLATION
Electrical Connection
IMPORTANT!
Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this grill.
General
Connection to AC Installation requires an outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI (Ground Fault Interrupter)
electrical outlet adjacent to the grill. The GFI outlet features an internal breaker that reduces shock
hazard. This type of outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician either inside the island
enclosure for built-in units, or near the location where a free-standing unit will be used. For built-in
grills, the supplied 12V transformer is connected to the grill during installation.
All grill models have a power transformer for the
ignition and internal lighting, which is concealed
in a box with an attached power supply cord. This
transformer must be secured in a dry location
and away from the grill firebox and excessive heat
area. When installing, it is recommended that the
transformer be located below the grill in a readily
accessible location. Be sure to provide adequate
access to facilitate service if the transformer or
connections should need future maintenance.
EN
If the electrical system fails to operate, a connection
may have come loose in shipping or the GFI may have
tripped, requiring a reset. See the Troubleshooting
section for more details.
IMPORTANT!
To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse
any power cords or plugs in water or any other liquid.

Burner Adjustment
IMPORTANT!
Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is evidence
of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
Grill burner air adjustment
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior
to shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply or a
conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary
to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the
rotisserie burner) should be visually checked and compared
to that of the drawing in Fig.14. Flames should be blue and
stable with no yellow tips (LP units may have some yellow
tipping), excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions
exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by
dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If cleaning the burner ports
and air shutter does not improve performance, you can alter
the air shutter adjustment. The amount of air which enters a
burner is governed by a metal cup at the inlet of the burner
called an air shutter. It is locked in place by a screw which
must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.

Before beginning, ensure the grill is OFF and cool. To access the grill burner air shutters, first
remove the grates and radiants from the firebox, then remove the grill burner using instructions
shown on page 41. With a screw driver, loosen the lock screw on the face of the air shutter slightly
so that the air shutter can be adjusted.
To adjust
1 Be careful as the burner may be very hot.
2 If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to allow more air
to the burner.
3 If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter
clockwise.
Note: reinstall the U-burner, ensuring the burner is level. Light the burner and check the flame. If
the color of the flame is blue and the height is stable, remove the burner and tighten the air shutter
screw. If the flames show instability or an inconsistent color, repeat the above procedure to readjust
the air shutter.
Low flame setting adjustment
The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to
fluctuations in gas pressure, heating value or gas conversion, you

may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low
position. We do not recommend adjusting the infrared rotisserie
burner.
To adjust
1 Light the burner.
2 Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (counter-clockwise).
3 Remove the knob.
4 While holding the valve shaft with pliers, insert a thin, flat tipped
screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the burner adjust to a

USING THE GRILL
Grilling
Grill
Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner,
stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic rods encased
in a stainless steel radiant, and a stainless steel heat retaining
grate. Each burner is rated at
Below the burners there is a stainless steel heat baffle which
reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces
temperatures of the drip pan below. Above the burners are
stainless steel radiants which encase the ceramic rods and
protect the grill burner ports from blockage (Fig. 17).
The grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. Because of the porosity of ceramic rods, performance
is superior in the rods’ ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. They also possess the
thermal mass needed for even cooking performance. Flare ups are controlled because the radiant
ceramic rods keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by
this system produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and
caramelized. Discoloration of the grates is normal after use.
Direct/indirect cooking notes
Direct cooking involves placing food on grates over lighted burners. Use this method for foods that
take less than 20 minutes to cook or to sear larger items at the start of the cooking process that
will then be indirectly cooked to finish. Place items on the preheated surface and leave until they
no longer stick. Never spray water on the grill or into grease. The patented Grease Management
System™ reduces flare-ups by channeling grease away from the flame. Use a meat thermometer to
achieve desired doneness and remove items one degree below how you would like to enjoy them, as
the resting period before carving or consuming will raise the temperature.

Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect cooking uses heat
from an adjacent heat source to cook food and, in many cases, reduces the possibility of overcooked
or overly browned food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling included breads, thicker pieces
of chicken or steaks. Indirect cooking involves placing the food to the side of or above the heat
source instead of directly over the flame and then closing the grill top to create an oven effect. All
the items you usually oven-roast can be grilled to perfection using indirect heating. Preheat the
burners surrounding the food to be cooked. Use your secondary cooking tray to hold food and add
water or chicken broth to the tray to prevent the natural juices from burning or evaporating.

IMPORTANT!
y Season your grates before first use and then periodically to protect the grate surface from corrosion,
and to stop food sticking. See 'Care and Maintenance'. To season the grates, pour a tablespoon of
vegetable oil on a soft cloth and rub on both sides of the grates. Only a light coating is needed and
some smoke may be visible during the preheating.
y Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “MEDIUM”
to “LOW” heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or
poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks
the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary
marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.

Secondary cooking
Two racks and one tray have been provided for secondary cooking. These can be utilized for
warming, smoking, roasting or slow-cooking food. Before using the secondary cooking surfaces with
the grill hood down, ensure that the height and width of food or cooking pans is not excessive. When
closing the hood there is a chance that food or cooking pans may be dislodged if these items are too
big. 20lbs is the maximum weight of food that should be placed in the secondary cooking area.
The secondary cooking racks and tray can be placed in four possible positions. When inserting the
racks and trays above the grill, they will click into place.
Note: all trays and racks are dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use the rotisserie burner when the secondary cooking racks or trays are in place. Before using
the rotisserie burner, ensure that these racks and trays are removed.

4 Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The
control knob may be set to any position between “SEAR” and “LOW"
5 When you have finished using the grill, turn the control knobs to “OFF” and shut off the main gas supply.
6 Allow the grill to cool and clean the grates, drip pan and grease tray after each use.
EN
Note:
if using LP gas, your preheat time may be shorter than recommended. To prevent overcooking or
burning, you may want to lower the heat settings.
Using the temperature gauge
When preheating the grill, use the temperature gauge in the hood to check if the grill has reached
the desired heat setting.
Note: the temperature gauge only indicates air temperature inside the grill. For food safety and
optimal cooking performance, use a meat probe to check the temperature of meat while cooking and
to ensure desired internal temperatures are reached.
Wire grate
Designed to be used in conjunction with the charcoal insert, the wire grate fits on top of the insert to
provide the perfect surface for smoking your food. Smoke meat straight on the grate for an intense
flavour or use the grate to hold a tray of water under the meat to help even out the temperature and
keep the meat moist. If you do not wish to use the charcoal insert, the wire grate is still excellent for
normal grilling.
Note: the grate can only be used in a flat position (see page 32).
Dual-sided grates
Whether you or your guests crave seafood, steak or veggies, the double-sided grates provide varying
surfaces for varying textures. The “W”-shaped side creates nice sear lines for steaks, chicken and
chops and routes oil and grease away from the food. The opposite “radius” side offers more surface
area for support and handling of delicate items like scallops. (See below for a sample list of which
foods to cook on which side of the grate.)
