INTRODUCTION

The DCS Professional CP Cooktops feature a large number of features varying with each model. All models
feature a minimum of 4 surface burners, with the option of up to 6 surface burners on all models. All of the 48"
and 36" Cooktops feature the possibility of various grill and griddle combinations. All cooktop models require
the installation of one of the two offered backguards, if installed with less than 12” of clearance to combustible
material. See page 14.

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 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

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, 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. 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 and 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 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
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.

4

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 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.

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 effects the igniter, unburned gas will escape into the room.

■

Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazes 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.

■

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.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS

Installer supplied shut-off valve
must be easily accessible inside
cabinetry.

Gas Supply

■

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.

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 National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

NOTE:

This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.

NOTE:

(mandatory for the State of Massachusetts)
Alternate method of supplying gas must be installed
into the unit.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

Install components in the following order:

A. Vent Hood
B. Backguard System (sold separately)
C. Cooktop

1. Locate cooktop according to cooktop installation instructions.

2. Measure distance from counter surface to top of trim on cooktop adding 1/8” for backguard clearance.

3. Transfer this measurement to the wall. This will mark the bottom of your backguard.

4. From this line measure 30-1/16” up wall to mark top of 30” backguard. This is the minimum height that the
bottom of your vent hood can be installed.

5. Follow vent hood manufacturer’s installation instructions to install vent hood.

6. Follow backguard installation instructions to install backguard.

7. Connect gas and electric connections and slide cooktop into position.

NOTE:

A manual gas supply valve must be installed. See page 16.

UNPACKING AND HANDLING

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 drip pan (below knobs) be removed to
facilitate handling. This will reduce the weight to about 150 pounds.

■

DO NOT REMOVE THE GRILL OR GRIDDLE ASSEMBLIES.

NOTE:

If a solid side cabinet wall exists on one or both sides, you will need to notch the front corner of the cabinet to match the
counter top notch and to provide clearance for the cooktop front (see page 14).

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.

9

UNPACKING AND HANDLING

■

The professional cooktop should be moved close to
its final location. Electric and gas connections should
be made (pgs. 15 & 16) and the backguard installed
(as required, pg. 8 & 15) before the cooktop is placed
in its final position. The grill and griddle sections are
fastened in place at the front with screws. They are
designed to be stationary and not meant to be
removed for cleaning. The griddle has two leveling
screws beneath the rear flue cover which can be used
to adjust the griddle to the desired slope. The center
screw is for shipping and should be removed. See Fig.

2.

ANCHORING THE COOKTOP

■

Due to the weight of the cooktop, along with a built­in side frame gasket that is meant to rest and create
a seal on the counter top once installed, it is not
necessary to anchor the unit to the counter.

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, (page 12). 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.

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. 8 pg. 14 are required for all types of backguard installations.

3. The cooktop is designed to hang from the countertop from its rear and side flanges. The countertop, however,
must be strong enough to support this heavy cooktop. It may be necessary to add a supporting cleat along each
side or another form of support such as a 2” x 4” corner brace on each side, or a deck to set the cooktop on.
See Fig. 3 & 5.

4. The cooktop can be installed in various positions with the front either flush or projecting, depending on the
countertop depth. See Fig. 4 & Fig. 7 (cooktop side view).

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