THE PROFESSIONAL 26” BGA GRILL Use and Care Guide MODEL: BGA26-BQ...
A MESSAGE TO OUR CUSTOMERS Thank you for selecting this DCS Professional “BGA” Series Grill. Because of these appliances’ unique features we have developed this Use and Care Guide. It contains valuable information on how to properly operate and maintain your new grill for years of safe and enjoyable cooking.
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 tanks pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure.

SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS ■ 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 igniter labeled for the burner you intend on using. ■ When using the grill, do not touch the grill rack, burner grate or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
