Page 7 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.
Page 8 SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS ■ Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or ignitions buttons.
Page 9 SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS ■ When using the open top burners always use flat bottomed utensils which are large enough to cover the burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of clothing.

Page 11 GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating Bottom of unit plate is located on the inside back wall of the Grill.
Page 12 GAS REQUIREMENTS LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR): Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included. Connection: 1/2"...
Page 13 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.
Page 14 LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES General The Grill is designed for easy placement into masonry enclosures. For non-combustible applications the grill drops into the opening shown in (Fig. 04) and hangs from its side flanges. A deck is not required to support it from the bottom. When using the insulated jacket in a combustible enclosure application, see the bottom of Fig.

Page 16 LEAK TESTING 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.

Page 18 BURNER ADJUSTMENTS Burner Air Adjustment: Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to 1-1/2" shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply or a conversion from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners. The flames of the burners (except the rotisserie burner) should be visually checked and compared to 3/8"...
Page 19 USING THE GRILL GRILL: Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel rack, and a stainless steel heat retaining grate. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr. Below burners there is a stainless steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan below.
Page 20 USING THE GRILL REPLACEMENT OF REGULATORS AND HOSE The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. The replacement pressure regulators and hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. If the unit is LP, screw the regulator into the tank and leak check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the grill.
Page 21 USING THE GRILL/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Grilling Method Note: Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect cooking uses heat from adjacent burners to cook food and in many cases, reduces the possibility of overcooked or overly browned food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling included breads, thicker pieces of chicken or steaks.
Page 22 LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS TO LIGHT DUAL SIDE BURNERS (48BQR MODELS ONLY): CAUTION: The side burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in operation. First remove the burner cover and any cooking utensils from the burner grate. Push and hold the ignition button, turn the control knob to the “HI”...
Page 23 USING THE SMOKER SYSTEM The smoker system on each grill consists of a stainless steel slide out tray which is positioned above a 3,500 Btu/hr burner. The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is capable of being turned down to very low heat levels. The system may be used alone for low temperature roasting and smoking or in conjunction with any combination of other burners.
Page 24 USING THE ROTISSERIE The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The location of the burner allows the placement of the rotis basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices.
Page 25 USING THE ROTISSERIE WARNING: Never have the grill burners (bottom burners) on during Rotisserie cooking. It will burn your meat and make it very dry. Use only one thing on at a time, grill or rotisserie. PREPARATION Recommended: Dental floss or butcher string, scissors, broiler pan (bottom only), pliers, instant read thermometer, foil, and hot pads.
Page 26 USING THE ROTISSERIE COOKING ON ROTISSERIE 1. Place prepared rod into motor, lay across to other side in groove. (Fig.27) 2. Verify placement as shown in Fig. 28. 3. Ignite Burner, start Rotisserie Motor, and keep on High for cooking all meats on the Rotisserie. 4.
Page 27 USING THE ROTISSERIE TO LIGHT THE ROTISSERIE BURNER: The location of the rotis burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotis during windy conditions. As an added safety feature we’ve equipped the burner with an automatic safety valve which will not allow gas to flow to the rotis burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on: 1.
Page 28 CARE AND CLEANING BATTERY REPLACEMENT: 1. Remove drip pan. 2. Open cart door. 3. Pull battery downwards (This may require use of pliers.) 4. Re-install upward and push to snap - Fig. 32. (Polarity is shown in FIG. 32 FIG. 33 Fig.
Page 29 BURNER REMOVAL AND CLEANING SIDE BURNERS: The grill side burners (BGA48-BQR models only) are cast Venturi Tube iron and occasionally it will be necessary to remove Flash Igniter Tubes surface rust to ensure proper performance. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the climate & location, and how often you use the grill.
