  • Page 5: Safety Practices

    SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance is designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance. When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type of appliance provides intense heat which can increase the accident potential.
  • Page 6 SAFETY PRACTICE AND PRECAUTIONS ■ Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop parts.
  • Page 7: Safety Practices

    SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS ■ Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance.

  • Page 14: Grill Use

    GRILL USE GRILL The two grill grates are reversible (see Fig. 12). The grill grates are made of durable stainless steel. One side of the grate is ridged (side A) and should be used for foods where you want the fat to run off, such as steak or hamburger patties.
