SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!

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:

When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total

capacity.

. If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER

store it near or under the grill/cart unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker with this warning is provided with the grill to remind you, your family and all others who may use your BBQ grill of these safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.

3. Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.

WARNING!

Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual. This grill is for outdoor use only.

WARNING!

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 4 to 5 seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.

Sticker

WARNING: IMPORTANT!

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.

Never leave the appliance unattended during use.

Begin by insuring proper installation and servic-

ing. 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 you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself ” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position and this must be done by a qualified technician.

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.

Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart or masonry enclosure. Never allow

children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.

Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is hot.

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.

• Always follow lighting instructions.

• Lid must be opened before lighting the grill.

• Check for gas leaks before lighting.

• Never lean over an open grill when lighting. Serious burns may result.

WARNING

• Hot surfaces surrounding grill grates could cause serious burns.

• Always leave at least 18" clearance to combustibles around the grill.

• Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near this unit.

• Never ll the tank beyond 3/4 full. A re causing death or serious injury may occur.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, dete-

rioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.

Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or get too close to any grate,

burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.

Do not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.

Always use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.

Never lean over an open grill. When lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be cer-

tain you are pushing the burner knob when you attempt to light the grill.

After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (See page 19).

When using the grill, do not touch the grill burner, grate, or immediate surrounding area as these areas become

extremely hot and could cause burns.

Grease is flammable. Never operate the grill without a grease tray. Let hot grease cool before attempting to

handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan. Clean often.

Do not use aluminum 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.

Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any

manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.

Do not let the rotisserie cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.

Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.

For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill use. These types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.

WARNING!

Spiders and insects can nest in the grill burners , causing gas not to flow through the burner. The gas will flow from the front of the burner into the control panel. This is a very dangerous condition which can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill components and making it unsafe to operate.

WARNING!

Keep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids and vapors such as gasoline, charcoal or lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

WARNING!

Never use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront, mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances as defined in the “INSTALLATION” section of this manual. Refer to the “Grill Placement” section for details if fitting a wind break.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS

When using the side burners always use flat bottomed pans which are large enough to cover the side burner.

Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing. Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated with unintentional spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of it when turning or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is necessary to clean periodically for optimum performance.

Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.

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.

Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the grill. Without it

hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.

Do not operate the grill under un protected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not

use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeway, covered structure or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.

Do not place griddle plates (some models only) side by side on the grill or on top of the Infrared Hybrid Burner.

Do not use the Infrared Hybrid Burner on BGB-36” or BGB-48” models. Use on BH1-36 & BH1-48” models only.

If a cart unit is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push, never pull, the grill and

never push or pull on the side shelves. If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.

Never use the grill in a windy area.

Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane. Make sure you lock the castor wheels before operat-

ing the grill.

Do not use charcoal or lighter fluid in the outdoor grill.

n

Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill and water

(pools, fountains, puddles).

Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from

debris.

Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a

towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill or burner grate.

Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liq-

uids.

To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools.

Do not move the appliance during its use.

This unit is for outdoor use only! Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up

which would result in injury or death.

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).

To put out flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature

INSTALLATION

LOCATING GRILL/BUILTIN CLEARANCES

Important!

Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill. To do so, loosen the 4 screws on the bottom sides of the grill which hold the brackets to the grill. Slide the shipping brackets off and retighten 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 there is adequate area for it to dissipate.

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. 02a. This will assist the grill in venting hot air thru 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, a windbreak must be installed. The windbreak should be made such that it will block wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig. 02b. Location of the windbreak 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.

As 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.

Shipping Brackets

FIG. 01

During high wind conditions, it is best if you don’t use your grill. If you live in an area that is subject to frequent high winds, or a steady directional wind, then the installation of a suitable windbreak may be advised. If you have a grilling cart, it is best to position the unit so the prevailing wind blows into the valve panel, thus supporting the proper airflow. Winds hitting the back of the grill directly are the most likely to cause problems, although wind blowing along the exhaust gap in the rear can also be problematic.

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.

INSTALLATION

Wind hitting the grill while in use, especially winds blowing into or across this hood gap, can cause poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get dangerously hot.

If wind is an issue, a wind screen should be added. The wind screen should be higher than the top of the opening in the back of the grill, with a minimum clearance of 3" (for non-combusti bles) or 12"

INSTALLATION

LOCATING GRILL/BUILTIN CLEARANCES

Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*:

A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” 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. 03)

WARNING!

Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or serious personal injury.

WARNING!

The BH1 Grill is designed to function in an open area. Recommended minimum clearances should be maintained to all surfaces (combustible and noncombustible) for optimum performance. Noncombustible material within the minimum clearance area could result in discoloration or deterioration.

WARNING!

If a noncombustible material such as stucco is covering a combustible material such as wood, the minimum clearance distance needs to be held to the wood. The presence of a noncombustible material inside the clearance zone does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.

* DEFINITION OF NONCOMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Material which is not capable of being ignited and burned, such as

materials consisting entirely of, or a combination of, steel, iron, brick tile, concrete, slate, and plaster.

Clearances to Combustible Construction**:

Minimum of 18” (45,7cm) from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical combustible construction, above the counter top level. You should take in account that there is a large volume of heat, and smoke will exhaust from the rear of the grill. This may discolor or damage unprotected areas (Fig. 04). Do not install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.

A 18” (45,7cm) minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible construction. The

clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.

** 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 (3) 10 sq. inches / 64,5cm2 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.

WARNING!

Note specific built-in enclosure ventilation requirements. See text and Fig. 05.

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 bottom of Fig. 05. The insulation jacket assembly must be supported from the bottom by a ledge on each side and back or a solid deck.

A carpenter’s “spirit level” should be used to assure 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 or has a decided slope, re-leveling may be required after each moving of a freestanding unit.

INSULATED JACKET:

WARNING!

Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.

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. 05) 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.

LP GAS HOOK UP TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULA TOR:

Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assem bly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.

INSTALLATION

GAS HOOKUP

Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure:11.0” W.C. Note: All gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances

and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.

CAUTION!

Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all grill burners and side burners, smokers, and rotisserie valves are in the OFF position and open grill lid.

To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig. 09) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the “HI” position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge. Turn valves off and wait 5 minutes before attempting to light the burners.

To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.

LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:

A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The cylinder that is used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check

for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected

and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.

Note:

When an LP unit is being directly connected to an LP house system, you must follow the natural gas hook up guidelines. The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas pressure to 11” W.C.

The Grill comes with the LP Gas Regulator/Hose assembly installed at the factory. The assembly, along with the entire Grill system, is leak tested. Do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the Grill during installation.

WARNING! :

1. Do not remove the Grill from the pallet until you are ready to install.

2. Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or any other flat surface without support. This will prevent damaging the regulator/hose assembly by the weight of the grill.

3. Check the hose, regulator and connectors for damage. Look for cracks, abrasions, brittleness, holes, dents and nicks.

4. Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the Regulator/Hose assembly by yourself. It must be done by a qualified licensed technician only.

LEAK TESTING

IMPORTANT! GAS LEAK TESTING MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY AN QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.

GENERAL:

Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically 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. The valve panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve knob, then remove the 2 screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition module. In the back of the unit remove the screws which hold the service panel in place. Remove the service panel.

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 up to and including the manifold pipe assembly. Apply the soap solution around the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Avoid getting the soap solution on or in the valve switches. 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. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they screw into the manifold pipe.

To check rotisserie burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections located behind the service panel. 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.

WARNING!

Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.

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 (Fig. 16 & 17).

BURNER ADJUSTMENT

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.18. 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. Proceed with 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.

GRILL BURNER FLAME HEIGHT:

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 31, Fig. 46. 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 counterclockwise 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. Reinstall the U-burner, ensuring the burner is level. Light the burner and check the flame. If all is okay, remove

the burner (CAUTION - burner may be hot, allow time to cool) and tighten the air shutter screw. If not 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 (all the way 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 minimum stable flame (Fig. 19).

SIDE BURNER FLAME HEIGHT:

The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil, the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.

For safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking

utensil. Never allow flames to curl up the side of the pan (see Fig. 20).

Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with me-

dium to low flames. If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a slightly larger flame can be used.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER:

Open the grill lid and/or remove the top grate cover from side burner (for BH1-48RS) before lighting. Turn all knobs to “OFF”. Turn the main gas supply on. If you smell gas, shut-off gas supply and call for service.

Grill Lighting Instructions:

The grill knob is connected to the electronic ignition module. Pushing in on the burner knob will activate the ignition module to get a spark.Push in and turn the selected burner knob to HI/SEAR position. Release the knob when the burner lights. If burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds, turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.

Grill Match Lighting:

If the burner will not light after several attempts, then the burner can be match lit. If you’ve just attempted to light the burner with the ignition, allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face as far away from the outdoor appliance as possible and hold a paper book match over the hole located on the top left for burner on the left, or the right hole for the right burner (Fig. 26 and Fig. 27). Push and turn the control knob which is centered on the burner where the lit match is located, to “SEAR”. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again.

NOTE:

Improper lighting procedures can cause the LP tank flow control to activate, resulting in reduced heat output. If this is suspected, to reset flow control, shut off all burner controls and LP cylinder valve, wait 30 seconds, then turn LP cylinder valve on extremely slowly, wait five (5) seconds and push and hold the ignition button and turn burner valve on to “SEAR”.
