SAFETY AND WARNINGS
EN
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage
when using the appliance, follow the important safety instructions listed
below:
WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard Accessible parts may become hot during use. Do not touch
surface units or areas near units of the grill. Hood must be opened before
lighting the grill. Never let clothing 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 fire or personal injury. Keep outdoor
cooking gas appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline
and other flammable vapors and liquids. Never lean over an open grill. When
lighting a burner, always pay close attention to what you are doing. Be
certain you are pushing the burner knob when you attempt to light the grill.
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 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. 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. To avoid burns
when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools. Failure to follow this advice may
result in burns and scalds or serious injury.
WARNING!
Explosion Hazard If you smell gas, do not use the appliance. Do not use water
on grease fires, a violent steam explosion may result. Turn all burners off,
then smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Do
not heat unopened food containers such as cans Build up of pressure may
cause container to burst and result in injury. Failure to follow this advice
may result in injury or death.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible
construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings,
garages, sheds, breezeways, covered structures or other such enclosed areas.
This unit is for outdoor use only. Never leave the grill unattended when in

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
21). 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 The sear burner is designed specifically for
searing food. Do not use the griddle plate or charcoal insert over the sear
burner or cover it with any utensil type. y If you are using griddle plates,
do not place them side by side on the grill. 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 and the fuel
supply hose 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 or move the food away from flare
up. 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
EN
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
y Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation to the grill. y
Storage of an outdoor cooking gas appliance indoors is permissible only if the
cylinder(s) is (are)
disconnected and removed from the outdoor cooking gas appliance. y Cylinders
must be stored outdoors out of the reach of children and must not be stored in
a
building, garage, or any other enclosed area. y When not in use, ensure the
gas supply is turned off at the supply cylinder. y Only use LP cylinder
provided with a listed Overfilling Prevention Device (OPD) and with a
cylinder connection device compatible with the connection for outdoor cooking
gas appliances. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety
precautions: y Never fill the cylinder beyond 80 percent full. 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 or sear burner while the rotisserie burner is lit. y In sunny locations,
the rotisserie and sear burners may be difficult to see if they are lit. y
When connecting, first connect plug to the appliance then plug appliance into
the outlet.

Locating Grill/Built-in Clearances
INSTALLATION
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 should be set-up so that it blocks 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.
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.

INSTALLATION
Locating 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. 02).

*DEFINITION OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE 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.
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. Non-combustible 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.
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. 04 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. 05. 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. 12

Locating Built-in Clearances
Clearances to combustible construction** Minimum of 18″ (457 mm) 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. 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.

though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered.
IMPORTANT!
It is recommended that a minimum of two 12 1/4×12 1/4″ (311 x 311mm) vents be
provided in order to safely dissipate unburned gas vapors in the event of a
gas supply leak. These are to be located on each side of the enclosure and
within 5″ (127mm) of the top.
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.
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.
IMPORTANT!
Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated
jacket could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.

LP cart hook-up Grills orificed for use with combustible gas come equipped
with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20
lb. combustible gas cylinder (Type 1). The combustible gas tank is not
included. The grill system is leak tested, do not remove the Regulator/Hose
assembly from the grill during cart installation.
Connection: LP gas 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.
To connect the LP gas 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 its
safety feature, you should always turn off the combustible gas tank main valve
(Fig. 07) 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 over tighten 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 five minutes before attempting to ignite 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 combustible gas filling station should be
equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.

IMPORTANT!
y Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all grill burners and
rotisserie valves are in the OFF position and open grill hood.
y 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.
y Check the hose, regulator and connectors for damage. Look for cracks,
abrasions, brittleness, holes, dents and nicks.
y Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the regulator/hose assembly by
yourself. It must be done by a qualified licensed technician only.
FIG. 07 combustible Gas – Cart
LP tank requirements: A dented or rusty combustible gas tank may be hazardous
and should be checked by your combustible gas 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 combustible gas tank
change. The combustible gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in
accordance with the specifications for combustible 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 shutoff valve terminating in an combustible 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.

through an opening in the enclosure, the piping must be protected for a
distance of at least 2″ (50mm) either side of the opening. 18
INSTALLATION
EN
Leak Testing
IMPORTANT!
Gas leak testing must be carried out by a 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.
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.

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.
U-burner 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. 12. 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.

U-burner flame height 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 it 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 minimum
stable flame. For sear burners, a slight flutter will be present before the
flame becomes unstable.

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.
y 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.
y Utensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used
with medium to low flames. If you are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a
slightly larger flame can be used.
Radiant Assembly
IMPORTANT!
Before assembling the radiant, check that the radiant trays have not moved
during transit. They should sit securely on their locating pins in the base of
the grill.

Grilling
Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a series of
ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel radiant and a stainless steel heat
retaining grate. Below the burners there is a stainless steel heat shield
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. 17a).
The grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. The ceramic rods have the
thermal mass to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. Flare ups are
controlled because the radiant ceramic rods get hot & vaporise majority of
food drips that cause flare ups. The intense heat produced by this system
allows for production of true grilled flavours.
Sear burner models only
Each sear burner section consists of a sear burner, a wire mesh, and wire
grate. Each burner is rated at 24,000 Btu/hr or 25.3 MJ/hr. Below the burner
is a stainless steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat upward into the
cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan below. On the right side
of the sear burner is a removable stainless steel wall designed to reflect
heat back to the cooking zone above while also preventing the adjacent cooking
zones from overheating. (Fig. 17b).
The wire mesh on the sear burner is designed to protect the ceramic tiles from
food debris which may block the pores in the tiles. Most grease will vapporise
on contact with the hot mesh and tiles.
FIG. 17a FIG. 17b
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 SystemTM reduces flare-ups by channeling grease away from the flame. Use a meat thermometer to achieve desired doneness and remove items 5 – 10 degrees 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 include 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. When indirect cooking over the sear burner, make sure there is a tray in place to collect any drips.

BURNER OFF
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 W-grate). 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. For models with Sear Burner, you can use Sear Burner to quickly
brown the surface of your foods and then use U-Burner on Low to finish cooking & reach desired doneness. 25
USING THE GRILL
Using the U-burners
1 Ensure that the drip pan and grease tray are in place. 2 Set your grates to
preferred position for cooking (referring to angle position plus W side or
radius
side up) 3 Light the grill burners following the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS”. 4
Once you have verified the burners are lit, set to your preferred heat setting
( For Low & Med heat
setting preheat for 5 mins & for High & Sear heat setting preheat for 10
minutes) with hood down. 5 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”. 6 When
you have finished using the grill, turn the control knobs to “OFF” and shut
off the main gas supply. 7 Allow the grill to cool and clean the grates, drip
pan and grease tray after each use.
Dual-sided grates 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.
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.
Grilling Hints The time it takes to reach a certain doneness within meat
(rare, medium or well done) is affected by the thickness of the cut & the
cooking temperature used. If grilling a 2″ piece of Rib eye at high
temperature it is most ideal to sear the surface first before cooking at a
lower temperature till you achieve the desired doneness. This can be checked
using a thermometer. When defrosting meats it is recommended that it be done
overnight in the refrigerator as opposed to a microwave.

for sear burner & “SEAR” for U-burner
and pre-heat for 10 minutes with the hood down. If using LP gas, or if the
sear burner area is already warm, preheating your grill for at least 5 minutes
will allow the sear burner area to warm up to searing temperatures. Ensure the
ceramic tiles are uniformly red in appearance before use. 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 “MAX” and “LOW”. Some food
particles will show as yellow flames but should burn off. 5 When you have
finished using the sear burner, turn the control knob 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.
IMPORTANT!
Never place food over a sear burner before it is fully pre-heated. Food
particles and grease dripping onto a cold sear burner can cause damage.
Dual-sided grates The double-sided grates provide varying surfaces for varying

Sear burner grate The sear burner grate should be used directly over the sear
burner. This grate has be designed to provide clean sear lines and optimal
heat distribution.
Searing hints Your sear burner can be used to achieve perfect sear lines or
surface browning on your food before moving it to a low heat to finish the
cooking process. The sear burner is ideal for the sear part of the reverse
sear cooking method as it provides optimal conditions for direct searing.
Due to intense heat produced by the sear burner, we recommend keeping a close
eye on your food & turning it constantly for optimal searing.
Do not allow the sear burner to get wet Failure to keep the sear burner dry
may result in product damage or poor performance. If the burner does get wet,
allow it to dry completely before use. The sear burner is not dishwasher safe.
1 Remove the sear burner (refer to page 36) 2 Rest the burner upside down to
allow the water to drain. 3 Let the burner dry before reinstalling into the

USING THE SMOKER SYSTEM (SOME MODELS ONLY)
EN
The smoker system on each grill consists of a stainless steel slide out tray which is positioned above a 3,500 Btu/hr or 3.7 MJ/h burner. The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is capable of being turned down to very low heat levels. The system may be used alone for low temperature roasting and smoking or in conjunction with any combination of other burners. When using the smoker system in conjunction with the optional infrared rotisserie burner, you’ll find it helpful to use the low setting of the smoker burner to minimize the heat rising up to the rotisserie basting pan. Staggering the meat away from the smoker burner also helps.
To minimize burn potential do not completely remove the smoker tray when hot.
To light the smoker burner Open the lid and remove the smoker tray. Locate the burner visually by looking through the cut-out in the valve panel. Push in the burner knob and turn to the “HI” position until the burner is lit. If the burner doesn’t ignite, wait five minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate, then try again. If the burner will not light after several attempts, wait five minutes, then match light using a paper book match through the cut-out in the valve panel. Once lit, fill the smoker tray and replace.
Wood chips There are many wood chips available for purchase and selection is based on personal taste. The most common wood chips used are mesquite or hickory. Mesquite has a sweeter taste and is commonly used with poultry and seafood. Hickory is best suited for red meats. Use of oak, cherry, maple, aspen or apple is also common while aromatic herbs like sage, bay leaves, thyme or basil may also be used. Soaking the chips in water before using them will help ensure the wood chips smoke and do not flame up. To start, you may want to use the “HI” position to start the chips smoking, then reduce the heat to a lower level to prevent them from drying out and flaming. If the wood chips do flame up, add a small amount of water to extinguish the flame. This should be done carefully through the top in the grill area, or by pulling the tray out slightly. Use caution when adding water to a hot tray to avoid steam burns, and never completely remove a hot tray. When smoking, the lid should remain closed as much as possible to maximize the effect. During extended roasting periods it is normal to add fresh wood chips to the tray several times.

Your smoker tray comes with a removable smoker lid. For best results we recommend using the smoker lid.
FIG. 19
29
USING THE ROTISSERIE
The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using
infrared heat. The location of the burner allows the placement of the
rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and
drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan,
you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are especially good with the
addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to the basting pan. The
rotisserie burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant
heat. Preferred by chefs over other methods, this intense heat is magnificent
for searing in the natural juices and nutrients found in quality cuts of meat.
Once lit, the rotisserie burner will reach cooking temperatures in about one
minute. The orange/red glow will even out in about five minutes. The
rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning up to
a 50 lb. cut of meat or poultry. The rotisserie motor on the grills is secured
down to a cast rotisserie block with two black screw-down knobs. The
rotisserie block is in turn bolted to the right side panel. The rod for the
rotisserie is assembled into the motor assembly by placing the pointed end
into the motor, and resting the handle end on the support at the left side of
the grill. With the rod pushed as far as possible into the motor, the round
end of the rod should rest on the rollers.
The motor is equipped with a halogen bulb to provide light when other sources
of light are not sufficient. Use only a 50W (or its equivalent) Max. Halogen
Narrow Flood replacement bulb.
IMPORTANT!
Halogen lamps are constructed of a glass bulb with a pressurized internal
filament tube that operates at high temperatures and could unexpectedly
shatter. Should the outer bulb break, particles of extremely hot glass could
be discharged into the fixture enclosure and/or surrounding environment,
thereby creating a risk of personal injury or fire. When replacing the bulb,
let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the light has been turned off.
Never allow the hot bulb to come into contact with water. DO NOT TOUCH the
light bulb when in use. It may be hot enough to cause injury.

USING THE ROTISSERIE
EN
IMPORTANT!
Do not use the grill burners when the rotisserie burner is on. It will burn
your meat and make it very dry. Use only one section at a time, grill or
rotisserie.
Preparation Recommended: dental floss or butcher string, scissors, broiler pan
(bottom only), pliers, meat probe, foil, and hot pads.
Working area Allow enough space to accommodate food and rotisserie rod
assembly in a clean environment.
Meat preparation Tie meat with butcher string or dental floss in three areas.
Purchase a roast that is equally balanced from top to bottom in size to ensure
meat will cook evenly while on the rotisserie. For poultry, tie wings and legs
to the body using dental floss or butcher string to prevent flopping around
while turning.
1 Determine the center placement for the food, put first prong on the rod, turn “L”-shaped screw to tighten.
2 Center tied meat/poultry on the rod, place second prong, turn “L”-shaped screw to tighten.
3 Pick up the rod, rotate it to check for balance. If unbalanced, adjust prongs and food. Take pliers and tighten the “L”-shaped screws on both prongs.
4 Remove grates and top rack on the grill. Place bottom portion of basting pan on ceramic rods so meat drippings can be caught in pan.

USING THE ROTISSERIE
To light the rotisserie burner before cooking The location of the rotisserie
burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the
protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the
rotisserie during windy conditions. As an added safety feature we’ve equipped
the burner with an automatic safety valve which will not allow gas to flow to
the rotisserie burner unless the following conditions are present with the
knob on:
1 The safety valve button is pressed, and held down. 2 The safety valve
thermocouple has been sufficiently heated to keep safety valve open.
Open the lid. Push in and hold the burner knob. You’ll hear a snapping sound.
Turn the burner knob to “HI”. Engage the safety valve button and continue to
hold until the burner is lit. Once lit, turn burner knob to desired setting.
If the burner does not light within four to five seconds, release the safety
valve button and turn the burner knob to “OFF” and wait five minutes before
trying again.
y If relighting a hot burner, wait five minutes. y Never leave the control
knob on if rotisserie is not in use. y Never light the grill burners under the
rotisserie while the rear rotisserie burner is lit.
Manual lighting To manually light the rotisserie, place a butane lighter near the tip of the thermocouple as shown in Fig. 23. Turn the burner knob to “HI”. Hold the safety valve button in for about four to five seconds or until the burner remains lit. Once lit, turn burner knob to desired setting. If the burner does not light within four or five seconds, release the safety valve button and turn the burner knob to “OFF” and wait five minutes before trying again.
IMPORTANT!
Keep hands and face away from front of burner! Stand to the side when
lighting. Once lit move hand away quickly.

IMPORTANT!
Electrical Grounding Instructions: this appliance (rotisserie motor) is
equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against shock
hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong
receptacle or a three-prong grounded extension cord rated for the power of the
rotisserie motor and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking, or use only
extension cords with a 3 prong grounding plug, rated for the power of the
equipment, and approved for outdoor use with a W-A marking. Never remove the
grounding plug or use with a 2 prong adapter. Use only a ground fault
interrupter (GFI) protected circuit.
The rotisserie motor must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Keep the rotisserie motor electric cord away from the heated surfaces of the grill. When not in use, remove and store the motor in a dry location. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cord or plug in water or other liquid. Unplug product from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the product to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

Cooking on the rotisserie
1 Place prepared rod into motor, lay across and into the rollers on other side.
2 Once placement has been verified, ignite burner and start rotisserie motor. Turn the burner knob to the desired setting.
3 To check temperature of the meat, turn off motor and turn temperature to low while using a meat probe.
4 Once finished, turn the motor and rotisserie knob to “OFF”. If you have finished using the appliance altogether, turn the main gas supply off too.
5 Remove the rod and place meat or poultry on pan then remove prongs. Take care as the rod will be hot.
IMPORTANT!
The prongs are very sharp. Keep hands away from tips when removing the food.
Note: cover with foil for a 15 to 20 minute waiting time. Meat will carve
better and juices will go back into the meat.
33
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Ignition battery replacement
IMPORTANT!
Battery condition should be checked at least once a year.
1 Remove drip pan. 2 Open cart door (on cart model only). 3 Pull battery
downwards (this may require use of pliers). 4 Re-install upward and push to
snap (polarity shown in Fig. 24).
FIG. 24
Regulator and hose replacement The pressure regulator and hose assembly
supplied with the unit must be used. If replacements are needed, contact
Customer Care at www.dcsappliances.com. Do not use the grill if the odor of
gas is present. If the unit is LP, screw the regulator into the tank and leak
check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before
operating the grill. Turn all knobs to “OFF” then turn on the gas supply. If
LP, check that there is gas in the tank.
IMPORTANT!
y Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when
lighting. y DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking. y Keep a spray
bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check connections before
each use. y Do not attempt to light the grill if the odor of gas is present. y
Wait five minutes before relighting a hot grill.
Grill grates
Method 1 Turn on “HI” for 15-20 minutes to burn any remaining food particles.
After turning the grill “OFF”, use a bristle barbeque brush to remove any
remaining food particles or ash.
Method 2 The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is
completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect
your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a soft brass bristle barbeque brush in
a mixture of 2 cups of tap water and 1/2 cup of vinegar and scrub the hot
grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water and vinegar. Steam,
created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by
softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto the ceramic
rods and burn or fall into the drip pan. If the grill is allowed to cool
before cleaning, cleaning will be more difficult.
Method 3 Take about 1 foot of aluminum foil, crumpled up in a ball and rub it
over cooled grates to release food particles.
Note: grill grates must be re-seasoned after cleaning to prevent rust stains.
Drip pan and grease tray The full width drip pan with grease tray will collect
grease from the grill section and boil overs and spills from the side burners.
Allow the pan and its contents to cool before attempting to clean. Clean
grease from the pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
Ceramic rods It is not necessary to remove the ceramic rods for cleaning. They
burn themselves clean during the next cooking operation. Periodically the
trays holding the ceramic rods need to be turned over, and shaken free of
debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and
type of food cooked will determine when it is necessary to clean the trays. If
grease can be seen on the top of the tubes or if you get a lot of flare-up
during cooking, the tubes need to be turned over and heated on “HI” for 30
minutes; longer for heavy soil.
34
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Stainless steel The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless
steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense
heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different
stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure
first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable
scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit emery
paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the
surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the
appearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in
conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the
grain.
Note: stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides
especially in coastal areas. To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all
stainless steel surfaces every three to four weeks with fresh water and
stainless cleaner. Keep grill covered when not in use.
Electrodes Wipe with a water dampened cotton swab. Be careful not to damage
the electrode (see Fig. 25).
To remove the U-Burners for Cleaning Ensure gas supply has been turned off.
Remove the grill grates, then lift out the grill radiant tray. Grip the
U-burner as shown in the photo (Fig. 27) and press downwards with your thumbs
on the bracket in the back while lifting up on the U-Burner. In some cases it
may be necessary to use a screw driver to pry open the slot to release the
U-burner (Fig. 26). Pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the
burner air shutter head comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle the
burner sideways, and remove. After cleaning, when re-installing the U-Burner
ensure the U-Burner is completely level and locked in place. This is needed to
ensure your grill provides even cooking performance.
Grill burner cleaning Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel
wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports
with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break
off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a
flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If
obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been
straightened (See Fig. 28).
Orifice cleaning (U-burners, rotisseries and sear burners) With the burner
removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to
ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely
careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Removing the sear burner for cleaning
1 Ensure gas supply has been turned off and any grill grates have been removed.
2 Grip the sear burner at the sides and lift up at the rear so the burner is removed from its mount. Slide the burner to the rear of the product so that the air shutter head comes off the brass orifice at the front. Lift burner upwards at the front of the product to remove.
Sear burner cleaning
Gently vacuum the sear burner to remove debris from the pores. Do not use a
wire brush to clean the burner. Avoid submerging the sear burner in water.
Removing and cleaning the sear burner mesh
Lift the wire mesh up off the sear burner. Gently brush off any soil or food
residue from the mesh and check for any insects and insect nests.
For a deeper clean of the mesh, it can be rinsed in warm water once removed
from the burner.
IMPORTANT!
When re-installing the sear burner after cleaning, ensure that it is
completely level and locked in place. This is needed to ensure your grill
provides an even cooking performance.
36
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Burner alignment
IMPORTANT!
Center the burner onto the orifice properly before lighting the grill to
prevent fire hazard or explosion.

Be careful not to misalign the air shutters’ original position (unless readjusting). Lower the rear of the burner into the cutouts on the support channel at the rear of the burner box. Make sure it is level and does not rock. Light all of the burners and check that the flame is blue, stable and even. If adjustments are necessary, refer to page 18. Complete these adjustments prior to cooking.
Side burners (BH1-48RS model) For proper lighting and performance keep the
burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even
though the electrode clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when the
flame does not burn blue. Be certain all control knobs are in the off position
before attempting to clean the burners. The burners have been designed for
ease in cleaning. When the grates and burners are cool, remove the grate. The
burner cap and the brass port ring can easily be lifted off. Wash these parts
in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The burner caps are porcelain
enamel. A bristle brush can be used to clean out the toothed burner ports, if
necessary. After cleaning, it is important to make sure the location pins on
the bottom side of the port ring are properly aligned with the corresponding
holes in the base. Incorrect alignment will produce a potentially dangerous
flame and poor burner performance (see Fig. 31).
Smoker burner The smoker burner can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the
electrode wire and lifting out the burner. Cleaning is similar to the grill
burner. Replace the burner by sliding the air shutter over the brass orifice,
centering it in the hole.
