Assembling the Cooktop
Grill Compartment Assembly
warning
• failure to remove the plastic coating and packing
materials from the appliance before use will result in
a fire hazard.
• to avoid a suffocation hazard, keep all plastic and
packing materials out of reach of children.
• to avoid the risk of fire, explosion or carbon
monoxide poisoning, do not attempt to use your
outdoor grill without the flame spreaders, grates and
burners completely and properly assembled.
• for proper operation the outdoor grill must be level
during use.
1. Before using the outdoor grill for the first time,
remove the plastic coating from all of the outside
surfaces of the outdoor grill. remove any excess glue
from the surfaces using Dacor Stainless Steel cleaner
(included with your outdoor grill).
2. Open the canopy.
3. Put the flame spreaders over the top of the burners
inside the grill compartment. rest them on the lower
shelves toward the front and rear. the lighting holes
go toward the bottom. If the outdoor grill is equipped
with a sear burner, put one of the larger flame spread-
ers over it.
4. Put the grates over the top of the flame spreaders,
resting the ends on the upper shelves toward the front
and back of the compartment.
5. Make sure the grates and flame spreaders lie flat and
that there is nothing beneath them.
6. mount the warming rack on the pins near the top of
the compartment.
7. Insert the drip tray into the slot below the burners.
Push it all the way in until it stops.
Optional Side Burner Assembly
1. Place the burner heads over the burner bases. Line up
the notches on the side of each burner head with the
pins on each burner base.
2. Put the burner caps over the top of the burner heads.
the notches on the bottom line up with the pins on
the burner base. Gently twist each cap back and forth
to make sure it seats completely.
3. Gently set the grate on top of the side burner cook-
top. Line up the legs with the corresponding dimples.
the side burner cover goes over the top of the grate
and helps keep the side burner clean when not in use.

Electrical Requirements

gas appliance only to an electrically grounded outlet
that meets local codes for outdoor appliances. In
the absence of local codes, the electrical outlet
must meet National electric Code, ANSI/NfPA 70
or Canadian electrical Code Standards for outdoor
appliances.
• Keep any electrical supply cords and the fuel supply
hose away from any heated surfaces and sharp
edges. Keep the power cords dry and up off of the
ground.
• the outdoor grill and the rotisserie motor are
equipped with three prong grounding plugs to mini-
mize the possibility of an electric shock hazard from
this appliance. Plug them only into a three prong
electrical outlet equipped for use with outdoor appli-
ances that is protected by a minimum 15 Amp. circuit
breaker or fuse.

electrical outlet for your outdoor grill according to the
requirements above.

Electrical Connection

designed to minimize the risk of injury due to an elec-
tric shock.
