Safety Practices & Precautions Tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.58 standard for outdoor cooking gas appliances. This Grill is for OUTDOOR USE ONLY. Check your local building codes for the proper method of installation. In the absence of local codes, this unit should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code No.
Safety Practices & Precautions • Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups. • Never grill without the drip pan 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.
Gas Requi rements Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance.Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or L.P., and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the inside back wall of the grill.
Gas Requi rements NATURAL GAS HOOK UP Connection: 1/2" NPT male with 3/8" flare adapter. Operating pressure: 4.0" W.C. Supply pressure: 5" to 14" water column. If in excess of 14" W.C. a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility company or with local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines.
Gas Requi rements LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR) Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with an LP hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1).The LP tank is not included. Connection: 1/2"...
Gas Requi rements LP TANK REQUIREMENTS: WARNING: A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change.
Do not build the grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has specifically been designed and tested for this purpose.
Built-In Const ruction Details GENERAL FIG. 04 The grill is designed for easy placement 3" (to non-combustible into masonry enclosures. For non-com- construction / min. lid clearance) bustible applications, the grill drops into 12" (to combustible construction) the opening shown in (Fig. 05) and hangs from its side flanges.
Leak T esting 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.
Leaking T esting 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 and tubing.
Bu rne r Ad justments GRILL BURNER FLAME HEIGHT To access the grill burner air shutters first remove the valve panel by removing the four screws on the corners of the valve panel. Remove the control knobs. Pull the valve panel outward. Do not pull on the igniter wires.
Bu rne r Ad justments LOW SETTING ADJUSTMENTS 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 infra-red rotis burner.
Using The Grill GRILL Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a series of stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic tubes encased in a stainless steel rack, and a stainless steel heat retaining cooking rack. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr.
