SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance is designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance. When
using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type of appliance provides intense heat
which can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen
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 may not have 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-ityourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON position; 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 or turn any electrical switch on or off 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.
■ 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, and/or touch any part of an appliance while in operation.
■ Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round oven door handle and may grab and
open the oven door. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child, or severe burns if the
oven is in use and hot.
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 in the oven or 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 a metal lid, 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 get 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 or frayed 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 PRACTICE AND PRECAUTIONS
■ Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat to be trapped underneath
it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop
parts.
WARNING! NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
■ This appliance is for cooking. Never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. This could damage the
cooktop or oven parts.
WARNING! NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
■ 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.
■ When using the oven: Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven, the exterior area immediately surrounding
the door or the back trim. The drip tray handles directly above the oven door may be hot if the oven has been
operated with the door open, or if something has prevented the door from sealing. Always use caution when
pulling out the drip trays (GD & GL models only) when the oven has been on, or is currently on. The drip trays
get hot when the oven is on. Do not remove drip trays until they are cool.
■ 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 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 sealed 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 pan 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 spill 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.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
■ Be sure all the range and/or 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.
■ Place oven racks in desired position while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not
let the pot holders contact the hot interior lining of the oven.
■ Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.
■ Do not rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. Wash the
gasket with hot water only.
■ Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does
not accumulate on them. The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher or DishDrawer. Follow directions provided
by ventilation manufacturer for cleaning.
■ 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 oven door or 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 the National
Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1. Remove all packaging materials and labels from your appliance. If the installer has not set up your appliance,
do it now. Check that you have the following items:
COOKTOP
■ Griddle cover - (RGT-364GD, RGT-486GD, RGT-485GD, and RGT-484GG models only)
■ Grill cover - (RGT-364GL, RGT-484GG, and RGT-486GL)
■ Grill grates, 2 pieces - (RGT-364GL, RGT-486GL & RGT-484GG models only)
■ Burner head assemblies, burner caps and grates (5 burner heads on RGT-305 and RGT-485GD models only,
4 burner heads on RGT-364 and RGT-484, 6 on RGT-486GD, RGT-486GL and RGT-366)
■ Radiant tray - to hold ceramic rods for grill - (RGT-364GL, RGT-486GL & RGT-484GG models only)
■ One removable drip tray (griddle and grill models only have drip tray liners, for catching grease)
24” & 27” OVEN:
■ One two-piece broil pan
■ Three oven racks
12” OVEN:
■ One two-piece broil pan
■ Two removable side rails
■ Two oven racks
NOTE:
If any of the listed accompanying items are missing, contact DCS at (888) 281-5698. Please be prepared with your
Model #, Serial # and description of product you have purchased.
Regarding use of aluminum foil in a DCS Range Oven: Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to
line the oven. Heat can be trapped beneath the foil; this can cause damage to the oven and cause food to not
cook correctly.
2. Place the oven racks in the proper position before turning on the oven. For correct rack position check your
recipe. The most frequently used position is number 2 (the food product must be in the center of the oven for
airflow). The rack positions are numbered from the bottom as in the floors of a building (Fig. 01).
3. Before baking or broiling:
One at a time, turn the oven and broiler burners “ON” for 20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the manufacturing oils used by the factory. Turn the oven burner on to 450º F and the broiler burner on to “BROIL”. Turn on
the ventilator above your range while these burners are on, as there will be an odor.

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
TO INSERT THE OVEN RACKS IN 12” OVEN:
1. Hold the rack with the back safety rail in the up position and towards the
rear of the oven. Slip it into the oven so the rack slides are between the
rack and the rack guides.
2. As you slide the rack into the oven, tip the front of the rack up slightly, so
that the safety stops on the back of the rack, clear the rack slides (see
Fig. 02). The safety stops keep the rack from sliding out of the oven
when pulled forward.
TO INSERT THE OVEN RACKS IN 24” AND 27” OVEN:
1. Hold the rack with the back safety stop in the up position and towards
the rear of the oven. Slip it into the oven so the rack rails engage and
ride on the rack rollers.
2. As you slide the rack into the oven, tip the rack up slightly (see Fig. 03),
so that the safety stops on the back of the rack slide over the rollers in
the oven. The safety stops keep the rack from sliding out of the oven
when pulled forward.
TO REMOVE OR REPOSITION THE RACKS:
1. Pull the rack forward.
2. Lift the front of the rack up so the safety stops clear the rack slides/rollers.

COOKTOP USE
BURNERS
Your new professional gas range is equipped with burners typical of
those used in restaurants. These burners are designed for maximum
cleanability and controllability. The large cap spreads the simmer heat
out to avoid too much heat being concentrated on the center of the pan.
The simmer flame is always “on” when the burner is in use. The burner
should never be operated if the cap is not in place. All the cooktop
burners have electronic spark ignition to eliminate continuously burning
pilots; when the burner is on and the flame is blown out, it will relight.
SIMMERING
Your new professional cooktop has exceptionally
low simmering capabilities. The large cap serves as a
heat diffuser to spread out the heat to avoid having
a center hotspot. Keep in mind that because of the
high heat capacity of the retention flame, and the
mass of the cast iron burner grates (they retain heat
longer than lighter, conventional grates) some foods
may continue to cook by retained heat after the
burner has been turned off. Should a strong draft or
boil over extinguish the simmer flame it will relight
automatically as the main burner would.
