A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS Thank you for selecting this DCS CS Cooktop. Because of this appliance’s unique features we have developed this Installation Guide. It contains valuable information on how to properly install your new appliance for years of safe and enjoyable cooking.
INTRODUCTION The DCS Professional CS Cooktops feature a large number of features varying with each model . All models feature a minimum of 4 surface burners, with the option of up to 6 surface burners on all models. All of the 48" and 36" Cooktops feature the possibility of various grill and griddle combinations.
C) Cooktop 1) Locate cooktop according to cooktop installation instructions. 2) Measure distance from counter surface to top of trim on cooktop adding 1/8” for backguard clearance. 3) Transfer this measurement to the wall. This will mark the bottom of your backguard.
The center screw is for shipping and should be removed. Due to the weight of the cooktop, along with a built-in side frame gasket that is meant to rest and create a seal on the counter top once installed, it is not necessary to anchor the unit to the counter.
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a maximum of 36" above the cooktop cooking surface, (step 3 pg. 8). If the hood contains any combustible materials (i.e. a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36" above the cooking surface.
4) The cooktop can be installed in various positions with the front either flush or projecting, depending on the countertop depth. See Fig. 2 & Fig. 4 (cooktop side view). 5) Establish the centerline of the desired cooktop location. It should be the same as the center of the overhead ventilation hood.
