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.

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.

TO HOOK-UP THE FITTINGS SUPPLIED WITH THE GRILL: Assemble as shown (Fig.01). Use threading compound on male threads only. Do not use threading compound on the male end of the 1/2 NPT to 3/8 flare adapter. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill.
Do not build the Grill under 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. 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.
