To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the appliance, follow the important safety instructions listed below:
WARNING!

Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Do not touch surface units or areas near units of the grill.
Hood must be opened before lighting the grill.
Never let clothing or other flammable materials come in contact with or get too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in fire or personal injury.
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 burner knob when you attempt to light the grill.
When using the grill, do not touch the grill burner, grate, or immediate surrounding area as these areas become extremely hot and could cause burns.
Grease is flammable. Never operate the grill without a grease tray. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan.
Clean the grill with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the grill while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot portions of the grill or burner grate.
To avoid burns when cooking, use long handled BBQ tools.
Failure to follow this advice may result in burns and scalds or serious injury.
WARNING!

Explosion Hazard
If you smell gas, do not use the appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires, a violent steam explosion may result. Turn all burners off, then smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not heat unopened food containers such as cans - Build up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.
WARNING!

Fire Hazard
Do not operate the grill under un protected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways, covered structures or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.
Never leave the grill unattended when in use.
Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near this unit.
Never fill the tank beyond 34 full.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or serious injury.
WARNING!

Electrical Shock Hazard
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong or four-prong grounding plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded power outlet. Do not under any circumstances cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or electrical shock.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
- After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, deterioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using.
- Always use a covered hand when opening the grill hood and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam to escape.
• After lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 20).
- Do not use aluminium foil to line drip pans or grill grates or radiants. This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or damaged ignition components.
- Do not operate with a damaged cord or plug, after the appliance malfunctions or after the appliance has been damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
- Do not let the rotisserie cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.
- Do not use lighter fluid in the charcoal burner insert or on the gas burners.
- Be sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
- Never grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and hooked into the front of the grease tray (see Fig. 34 on page 40 for diagram). Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
- If you are using griddle plates, do not place them side by side on the grill or on top of the Infrared Hybrid Burner.
- Never use the grill in a windy area.
- Do not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this manual.
- Do not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane.
- Keep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill and water (pools, fountains, puddles).
- Never use a dented or rusty LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and clear from debris.
- Have an ABC rated Fire Extinguisher accessible - never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with water or other liquids.
- Do not move the appliance during its use.
- Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon monoxide build-up which would result in injury or death.
- When using a grill, be sure that all parts of the unit are firmly in place and that the grill is stable (can't be tipped over).
• To put out flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature
- Do not ignite the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit.
- Never attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation or is hot.
- CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING: the burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-products which are on the list of substances which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these substances, always operate this unit according to the manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.
- This outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, trailers and/or boats.
- This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
- 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 tank pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:
- When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 34 (75%) of its total capacity.
- If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near or under the grill unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker with this warning is provided with the grill. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.
- Do not store a full tank in direct sunlight.
- Push in and turn the selected control knob to HI/SEAR position. Release the knob when the burner lights. If burner does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob "OFF" and wait five minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.
- Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas "ON". If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
- Follow the installation instructions within this manual. Have your grill installed by a qualified installer. Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut-off valve is located so that you know where and how to shut off the gas to the grill. If the connections are not perfectly sealed, you can have a small leak and therefore a faint gas smell. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the “ON” position - this must be done by a qualified technician.
- Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the grill is being used. Never allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the grill at any time. When in use, portions of the grill get hot enough to cause severe burns.
- Do not store items of interest to children around or below the grill.
- Clean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or insect activity. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.
- Never use the grill burners while the rotisserie burner is lit.

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 and away from heat sources. Locate the grill only in a well ventilated area. Do not build the grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. Never locate the grill in a building, garage, breezeway, shed or other such enclosed areas. During heavy use, the grill will produce a lot of heat and smoke. Ensure that the grill is used in a well ventilated area.
If locating the grill in a windy area, try to locate the grill so the prevailing wind will blow air at the front of the grill as shown in Fig. 01b. This will assist the grill in venting hot air through the back of the grill. In addition, this will help keep any smoke from blowing at someone who is cooking on the grill. If you have to locate the grill in a windy area where the prevailing wind is at the rear of the grill (Fig. 01a), a windscreen must be installed. The windscreen should be set-up so that it blocks wind from entering the exhaust vent in the rear of the unit as shown in Fig. 01c. Location of the windscreen relative to rear of the grill must adhere to the clearances specified for combustible or non-combustible construction as defined in these instructions. Refer to following pages.
As a high-performance gas appliance, your grill requires significant amounts of air to support the combustion process. Your grill is designed to take air in through the valve panel area, and send the exhaust products out through the exhaust gap at the rear of the hood. Using your grill in windy conditions can disrupt the proper flow of air though your grill, leading to reduced performance, or in certain severe cases, causing heat buildup in the valve panel area. This can lead to problems such as having the knobs melt, or burn hazards when the valve panel surfaces become too hot to touch.
Please note that damage to your grill resulting from use in windy conditions, such as melted knobs or igniter wires, or valve panel discoloration from heat build-up, are excluded from warranty coverage.

If wind is an issue, a windscreen should be added. The windscreen should be higher than the top of the opening in the back of the grill, with a minimum clearance of 3" (76mm) for non-combustibles, or 18" (457mm) for combustibles, from the back of the grill
Locating Built-in Clearances
Clearances to non-combustible construction\*
A minimum of 3" (76mm) clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the hood to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6" (153mm) rear and side clearance to non-combustible construction above the cooking surface for counter space. If you'll be using the rotisserie option, the space is essential for motor and skewer clearance. The grill can be placed directly adjacent to non-combustible construction below the cooking surface (Fig. 02).
Note: if intending to use the rotisserie, the minimum clearance will be from the rotisserie motor instead of the side of the grill.

*DEFINITION OF NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Material which is not capable of being ignited and burned, such as materials consisting entirely of, or a combination of, steel, iron, brick tile, concrete, slate, and plaster.
General
The grill is designed for easy placement into built-in masonry enclosures. For non-combustible applications the grill drops into the opening shown in Fig. 05 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 Fig. 06. The insulation jacket assembly must be supported from the bottom by a ledge on each side and back or a solid deck.
A spirit level should be used to ensure that the unit is level both front-to-back and side-to-side. If it is not level, burner combustion may be erratic or the unit may not function efficiently for grease flow. If the floor is uneven, re-leveling may be required whenever a freestanding unit is moved.
IMPORTANT!
- Failure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or serious personal injury.
- The grill is designed to function in an open area. Recommended minimum clearances should be maintained to all surfaces (combustible and non-combustible) for optimum performance. Non-combustible material within the minimum clearance area could result in discoloration or deterioration.
- If a non-combustible material such as stucco is covering a combustible material such as wood, the minimum clearance distance needs to be considered for wood. The presence of a non-combustible material inside the clearance zone does not eliminate the minimum clearance zone to combustible material.
Locating Built-in Clearances
Clearances to combustible construction\*\*
Minimum of 18" (457mm) from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical combustible construction, above the counter top level. Intense heat, and large volumes of smoke will exhaust from the rear of the grill (Fig. 01b). This may discolor or damage unprotected areas. Do not install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.
A 18" (457mm) minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible construction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket. Insulated jackets can be purchased from our website, www.dcsappliances.com.

**DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Any materials of a building structure or decorative structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that are capable of transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered.
IMPORTANT!
It is recommended that a minimum of two 12 1/4x12 1/4" (311 x 311mm) vents be provided in order to safely dissipate unburned gas vapors in the event of a gas supply leak. These are to be located on each side of the enclosure and within 5" (127mm) of the top.
Insulated jacket
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary. Insulated jackets are available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has specifically been designed and tested for this purpose. Review the detail drawing shown (Fig. 06) and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up clearance in the right rear corner. It is required that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure to eliminate the potential build-up of gas in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat and strong enough to support the grill and insulated jacket. The counter should also be level.
IMPORTANT!
Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire, property damage and personal injury.
Locating Built-in Clearances
Clearances to protected combustible construction\*\*\*
A minimum of 12" (305mm) clearance from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical protected combustible construction. Intense heat, and large volumes of smoke will exhaust from the rear of the grill. This may discolor or damage unprotected areas. The 12" (305mm) includes 4" (102mm) min. non-combustible material plus an additional 8" (203mm) min. clearance between the grill and the protected combustible construction. This can be achieved by brick or concrete (Fig. 04a) or a metal stud finished with non-combustible substrate (Fig. 04b).

Gas Hook-up
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 plate is located on the underside of the drip tray. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. You must use a gas regulator even if the supply is controlled.
An installer-supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location. All installer supplied parts must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1, and the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 or CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code or CSA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code. In Massachusetts such shut-off valves should be approved by the Board of State Examiners or Plumbers & Gas Fitters.
All pipe sealants must be an ap proved type and resistant to the actions of LP gases. Never use pipe sealant on flare fittings. All gas connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local codes and ordinances. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1. Gas conversion kits are available from Customer care. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the type of gas (natural or LP) from your grill.

The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.5 kPa). The installation of this appliance must conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54. Installation in Canada must be in accordance with Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, and/or Propane Storage and Handling Code, B149.2 and local codes.
Natural gas built-in hook-up
(This should be performed by a technician only.)
Connection: 1/2" NPT female. Operating pressure:
4.0" W.C. Supply pressure: 5" to 14" WC. If in excess of 14" W.C. a step down regulator is required. Check with your local gas utility company or local codes for instructions on installing gas supply lines. Be sure to check on type and size of run, and how deep to bury the line. If the gas line is too small, the grill will not function properly. Any joint sealant used must be an approved type and be resistive to the actions of LP gases.
To hook-up the fittings supplied with the grill
Assemble as shown (Fig. 07). Use threading compound on male threads only. Use a second pipe wrench to hold the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer-supplied gas valve in an accessible location.

Gas Hook-up
LP cart hook-up
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. The grill system is leak tested, do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the grill during cart installation.
Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure: 11.0"W.C. Note: all gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
To connect the LP regulator/hose assembly to the tank/valve assembly, first make sure the main valve on the tank is completely closed. Although the flow of gas is stopped when the Type 1 system is disconnected as part of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve (Fig. 08) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not over tighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on and turn the burner control valves on the unit to the "HI" position for about 20 seconds to allow the air in the system to purge. Turn valves off and wait five minutes before attempting to ignite the burners.
To disconnect the coupler, first make sure the main tank valve is turned off. Grasp the coupler and turn counter clockwise. The inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening if it has not already done so when it disengaged. Your local LP filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.

IMPORTANT!
- Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all grill burners and rotisserie valves are in the OFF position and open grill hood.
- Do not place the Grill directly on the ground or any other flat surface without support. This will prevent damaging the regulator/hose assembly by the weight of the grill.
- Check the hose, regulator and connectors for damage. Look for cracks, abrasions, brittleness, holes, dents and nicks.
- Do not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the regulator/hose assembly by yourself. It must be done by a qualified licensed technician only.
LP tank requirements:
A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The cylinder that is used must have a collar to protect the cylinder valve. Never use a cylinder with a damaged valve. Always check for leaks after every LP tank change. The LP gas cylinder must be constructed and marked in accordance with the specifications for LP gas cylinders of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT or CAN/CSA-B339) and designed for use with a Type 1 system only. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit or attempt to use a Type 1 equipped regulator/hose assembly with a standard 510 POL tank/valve assembly. The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LP gas supply cylinder valve outlet specified, as applicable, for connection Type 1. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylinder must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
Gas Hook-up
LP built-in hook-up
If the grill is to be installed in a built-in application, then the grill must be installed in accordance with the built-in installation guidelines and the LP regulator/hose assembly must be removed from the product.
Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure: 11.0"W.C. All gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
If you intend to operate your built-in grill on LP gas utilizing a 20v lb type 1 cylinder, then a built-in LP tank restraint must be installed prior to initial use of the grill. The Installer must supply 12 " ID Flex hose and fixed pipe and a flare adaptor as indicated in Fig. 09.

Note: when an LP unit is being directly connected to an LP house system, you must follow the natural gas hook up guidelines.
The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas pressure to 11" W.C.
IMPORTANT!
Gas piping and connectors must be clamped within the enclosure to avoid contact with moving parts and hot surfaces. Where the gas piping passes through an opening in the enclosure, the piping must be protected for a distance of at least 2" (50mm) either side of the opening.
Leak Testing
IMPORTANT!
Gas leak testing must be carried out by a qualified technician.
General
Regularly check the whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Before Testing
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame. Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle, brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder.
To Test
Make sure all control valves are in the "OFF" position. Turn the gas supply "ON". Check all connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder. Apply the soap solution around the connection, tubing and end of the manifold. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn gas on, and recheck.
If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your local gas utility, or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.
IMPORTANT!
- Do not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
- Check all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings, bubbles indicate leaks

All units are supplied with a 12V power transformer to operate the products ignition and dial illumination features. The transformer is sealed in a box with an attached power supply cord.
Use only a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) protected circuit with this product.
An outdoor 120VAC 15A GFI electrical outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician either inside the island enclosure for built-in units, or near the location where a free-standing unit will be used. For built-in products, the supplied 12V transformer should be connected during installation.
Installation
The transformer must be secured below the product in a dry location away from any excessive heat. Be sure to provide adequate access to facilitate service if the transformer or connections require maintenance. For 2-pin connector models, multiple DCS Series 9 products may be connected to a single transformer by purchasing and installing a DCS approved power splitter.
Dial halos
When a dial is in use, an orange halo around that dial will illuminate. This will change from orange to white if the dial is turned to off but another dial remains active. If all dials are turned OFF, all halos will dim. Multiple DCS Series 9 products may be linked together to allow for cross-product halo illumination.
Linking 3-pin connector models
An approved DCS interconnectivity kit is required to enable this functionality.
Linking 2-pin connector models
An approved DCS retro-fit kit and the interconnectivity kit are required to enable this functionality.
The DCS retro-fit kit, interconnectivity kit and power splitter can be purchased separately from your local DCS dealer. The retro-fit kit must be installed by a Fisher & Paykel trained and supported service technician.

Burner Adjustment
IMPORTANT!
Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas "on". If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
Grill burner air adjustment
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to 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 that of the drawing in Fig.14. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips (LP units may have some yellow tipping), excessive noise or lifting. If any of these conditions exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. If cleaning the burner ports and air shutter does not improve performance, you can alter the air shutter adjustment. The amount of air which enters a burner is governed by a metal cup at the inlet of the burner called an air shutter. It is locked in place by a screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for adjustment.

Grill burner flame height
Before beginning, ensure the grill is OFF and cool. To access the grill burner air shutters, first remove the grates and radiants from the firebox, then remove the grill burner using instructions shown on page 41. With a screw driver, loosen the lock screw on the face of the air shutter slightly so that the air shutter can be adjusted.
To adjust
① Be careful as the burner may be very hot.
② If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to allow more air to the burner.
③ If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter clockwise.
Note: reinstall the U-burner, ensuring the burner is level. Light the burner and check the flame. If the color of the flame is blue and the height is stable, remove the burner and tighten the air shutter screw. If the flames show instability or an inconsistent color, repeat the above procedure to readjust the air shutter.
Low flame setting adjustment
The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure, heating value or gas conversion, you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low position. We do not recommend adjusting the infrared rotisserie burner.
To adjust
① Light the burner.
② Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (counter-clockwise).
③ Remove the knob.
④ While holding the valve shaft with pliers, insert a thin, flat tipped screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the burner adjust to a minimum stable flame.

Lighting Instructions
Grill lighting instructions
IMPORTANT!
Open the grill hood before lighting. Turn all knobs to "OFF". Turn the main gas supply on. If you smell gas, shut-off gas supply and call for customer care.
Pushing in on the burner knob will activate the Grill Igniter, and then turning the knob from the "OFF" position will allow the flow of gas to the burner.
The Grill Igniter will glow orange, but there will be no clicking sound during ignition. Push in and hold the selected burner knob for two seconds. Verify that the hot surface igniter is glowing. Turn the burner knob to "SEAR" position. Release the knob when the burner lights. If burner does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob "OFF" and wait five minutes before trying again so any ac cumulated gas may dissipate.
IMPORTANT!
Only light one burner at a time.
Grill match lighting
If the burner will not light after several attempts, then the burner can be match lit. If you have attempted to light the burner with the ignition, allow five minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face as far away from the outdoor appliance as possible and hold a paper book match over the hole located on the top left for burner on the left, or the right hole for the right burner (Fig. 16). Push and turn the control knob which is centered on the burner where the lit match is located, to "SEAR". If the burner does not light in four to five seconds, turn knob off, wait five minutes and try again.

Grilling
Grill
Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel radiant, and a stainless steel heat retaining grate. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr or 26,5MJ/h. Below the 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. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants which encase the ceramic rods and protect the grill burner ports from blockage (Fig. 17).

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a structural steel truss or panel with ribbed base and stepped supports (no text or symbols)FIG. 17
The grill is supplied with radiant ceramic rods. Because of the porosity of ceramic rods, performance is superior in the rods' ability to capture heat as it rises from the grill burners. They also possess the thermal mass needed for even cooking performance. Flare ups are controlled because the radiant ceramic rods keeps grease from getting to the flames and igniting. The intense heat produced by this system produces true grilled flavor as fats and juices are brought to the surface of the food and caramelized. Discoloration of the grates is normal after use.
Direct/indirect cooking notes
Direct cooking involves placing food on grates over lighted burners. Use this method for foods that take less than 20 minutes to cook or to sear larger items at the start of the cooking process that will then be indirectly cooked to finish. Place items on the preheated surface and leave until they no longer stick. Never spray water on the grill or into grease. The patented Grease Management System™ reduces flare-ups by channeling grease away from the flame. Use a meat thermometer to achieve desired doneness and remove items one degree below how you would like to enjoy them, as the resting period before carving or consuming will raise the temperature.
Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect cooking uses heat from an adjacent heat source 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. Indirect cooking involves placing the food to the side of or above the heat source instead of directly over the flame and then closing the grill top to create an oven effect. All the items you usually oven-roast can be grilled to perfection using indirect heating. Preheat the burners surrounding the food to be cooked. Use your secondary cooking tray to hold food and add water or chicken broth to the tray to prevent the natural juices from burning or evaporating.
Direct Heat Grilling Indirect Heat Grilling

FOOD GRILL RACK BURNER HEAT HEAT HEAT HEAT HEAT BURNER OFFIMPORTANT!
- Season your grates before first use and then periodically to protect the grate surface from corrosion, and to stop food sticking. See 'Care and Maintenance'. To season the grates, pour a tablespoon of vegetable oil on a soft cloth and rub on both sides of the grates. Only a light coating is needed and some smoke may be visible during the preheating.
- Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the "MEDIUM" to "LOW" heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside. Foods cooked for a long time or basted with a sugary marinade may need a lower heat setting near the end of the cooking time.
Grilling
Secondary cooking
Two racks and one tray have been provided for secondary cooking. These can be utilized for warming, smoking, roasting or slow-cooking food. Before using the secondary cooking surfaces with the grill hood down, ensure that the height and width of food or cooking pans is not excessive. When closing the hood there is a chance that food or cooking pans may be dislodged if these items are too big. 20lbs is the maximum weight of food that should be placed in the secondary cooking area.
The secondary cooking racks and tray can be placed in four possible positions. When inserting the racks and trays above the grill, they will click into place.
Note: all trays and racks are dishwasher safe.
IMPORTANT!
Do not use the rotisserie burner when the secondary cooking racks or trays are in place. Before using the rotisserie burner, ensure that these racks and trays are removed.

Internal lighting
To add to the convenience of your grilling experience, the grill has internal lighting set inside the grill hood. This helps to help illuminate the cooking surface in low light. To turn on the lighting, push the LIGHT button on the left-hand side on the control panel. To turn it off, press the button again. For guidance on how to replace the light bulbs, please see the care and maintenance section. Replacement light bulbs are not covered by warranty.
Halo lighting
As an added feature, the grill is fitted with halo lighting. When the grill is switched on, the halo will turn white (Fig. 19), when a knob is turned away from the 'OFF' position, the halo will turn orange (Fig. 20).

Grilling
① Ensure that the drip pan and grease tray are in place.
② Light the grill burners following the lighting instructions.
③ Once you have verified the burners are lit, put the hood down to preheat for five to 10 minutes.
④ Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “SEAR” and “LOW”
⑤ When you have finished using the grill, turn the control knobs to "OFF" and shut off the main gas supply.
⑥ Allow the grill to cool and clean the grates, drip pan and grease tray after each use.
Note: if using LP gas, your preheat time may be shorter than recommended. To prevent overcooking or burning, you may want to lower the heat settings.
Using the temperature gauge
When preheating the grill, use the temperature gauge in the hood to check if the grill has reached the desired heat setting.
Note: the temperature gauge only indicates air temperature inside the grill. For food safety and optimal cooking performance, use a meat probe to check the temperature of meat while cooking and to ensure desired internal temperatures are reached.
Wire grate
Designed to be used in conjunction with the charcoal insert, the wire grate fits on top of the insert to provide the perfect surface for smoking your food. Smoke meat straight on the grate for an intense flavour or use the grate to hold a tray of water under the meat to help even out the temperature and keep the meat moist. If you do not wish to use the charcoal insert, the wire grate is still excellent for normal grilling.
Note: the grate can only be used in a flat position (see page 32).
Dual-sided grates
Whether you or your guests crave seafood, steak or veggies, the double-sided grates provide varying surfaces for varying textures. The “W”-shaped side creates nice sear lines for steaks, chicken and chops and routes oil and grease away from the food. The opposite “radius” side offers more surface area for support and handling of delicate items like scallops. (See below for a sample list of which foods to cook on which side of the grate.)

Grilling hints
The doneness of meat, whether rare, medium or well done, can depend on the thickness of the cut. The cooking time of meat is dependent on the kind of meat, size, shape and cut along with the temperature of the meat when cooking begins. Expert chefs say it is impossible to have a rare doneness with a thin cut of meat. When defrosting meats, it is recommended to defrost overnight in a refrigerator as opposed to a microwave. This will ensure meat retains it juices. Use a spatula instead of tongs or a fork to turn the meat, as a spatula will not puncture the meat and let the juices run out. To get the juiciest meats, add seasoning or salt after the cooking is finished and turn the meat only once (juices are lost when the meat is turned several times). Turn the meat just after the juices begin to bubble to the surface. Trim any excess fat from the meat before cooking. To prevent steaks or chops from curling during cooking, slit the fat around the edges at two-inch intervals.
The cuts, temperatures, weights and grilling times in the following charts are meant to serve as a guideline. Environmental factors such as wind, outside temperature and altitude can affect cooking times, so should be taken into consideration. The USDA's definition of medium doneness is used for the cooking times of beef and lamb, unless otherwise stated. Before carving, let roasts and other large cuts of meat (including thick steaks) rest for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking. The internal temperature will increase slightly during this time.
For indirect cooking, we suggest placing the meat in the secondary cooking area in the lower or upper position depending on size and desired temperature.

Grate positions
As well as moving the grates to be positioned to your preference along the grill, the dual-sided grates can also be placed flat or in an angled position. If the grates are hot, please use the multi-tool to move the grates or re-position them. Placing the grates in an angled positioned (Fig. 21), allows fat and grease to run off food and into the grease management system. It also allows for a slightly slower cooking, than if the grate was placed flat (Fig. 22). If you are using a griddle plate please ensure that the plate is flat or tilted at an upward angle, and not tilted down. Wire grates can only be used in the flat position as shown in Fig. 23.

Using the multi-tool:
The multi-tool is an accessory that comes included with the grill. This can be used to lift and move grates, lift the charcoal burner lid and adjust the charcoal burner venting filters. It can be used to scrape grease and fat residues into the hole which filters grease down into the drip pan.
To adjust grates using the multi-tool
① Grip the multi-tool handle, with the flat-edged end at the top.
② Rotate the multi-tool 90 degrees and insert the flat-edge end into the center grate slot, making sure the end is below the middle horizontal bar of the grate. Note: there is greater balance and control of the grate when the multi-tool is centered.
③ Rotate the multi-tool back 90 degrees. The notches in the flat-edged end will lock the grate into place.
④ Carefully lift the grate out of the grill or into your desired position.
⑤ Rotate the multi-tool again to remove it from the grate.

IMPORTANT!
Take care when using the multi-tool to move the grates. The hot and heavy grates can cause injury.
Charcoal insert
IMPORTANT!
Do not use lighter-fluid in the charcoal insert or on the grill. The solid fuel will ignite from the burners, it does not need to be lit by a match or butane lighter.
① Place charcoal, woodchips or briquettes into the insert. Be careful not to overload with solid fuel (one layer of briquettes is recommended).
② Remove the grates and ceramic rods. Place the charcoal insert on top of the burner. The insert will clip onto barbs in the frame of the grill.
③ Light the grill burners following the lighting instructions on page 24. Turn the control knob to "SEAR".
④ Wait eight to 10 minutes, allow smoke to get to your desired preference. The solid fuel should begin to grey around the edges.
⑤ Shut off the burner, the solid fuel will continue to burn and smoke.
⑥ When you have finished using the grill, turn the control knobs to "OFF".
⑦ Allow the grill to cool and clean the grates, drip pan and grease tray after each use. The multi-tool can be used to scrape out the bottom of the insert. See Care and Maintenance on page 43 for more instructions on cleaning the charcoal insert.
Adjusting the charcoal insert
The heat and burn rate of the charcoal insert can be controlled by adjusting insert to reduce the level of oxygen supplied to the fire and slow the cooking rate. Removing the lid provides an excellent cooking surface for direct grilling. Note: the wire grate must be used in conjunction with the charcoal insert for direct grilling. There is also a venting adjustment on the top of the insert lid, it is recommended that the vents are modified prior to cooking. If the lid or vents have to be adjusted during cooking, please use the multi-tool as the charcoal burner insert will be hot.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with a lever and component, labeled as FIG. 27 (no text or symbols on the diagram itself)Using wood and charcoal
• Wood should be soaked briefly in water beforehand
- Larger wood chunks burn slower than smaller chips, giving a longer smoking time
- Different wood types (and charcoal types) impart different flavours to the food
- Charcoal and wood can be added periodically to the tray as required to extend the cooking time
IMPORTANT!
When using multiple grill accessories (e.g. charcoal insert, griddle plate etc), at least one of the two center burners should remain accessory-free.
IMPORTANT!
When connecting your rotisserie motor, first connect the motor to the grill and then plug the grill into the outlet.
General
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 secondary cooking tray beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the cooking tray, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are especially good with the addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to the cooking tray. The rotisserie burner is an infrared type which provides intense searing radiant heat. Preferred by chefs over other methods, this intense heat is magnificent for searing in the meat's natural juices and nutrient.
The orange/red glow will even out in about five minutes. The rotisserie motor is equipped with metal gears and is capable of turning a cut of meat or poultry that weighs up to 50 lb. The rotisserie motor on the grills is secured down to a cast rotisserie block with two black screw-down knobs. The rotisserie block is in turn bolted to the side panel. The rotisserie rod is assembled into the motor assembly by placing the pointed end into the motor, and resting the handle end on the support at the left side of the grill. With the rod pushed as far as possible into the motor, the round end of the rod should rest on the rollers.
The motor is equipped with a halogen bulb to provide light when other sources of light are not sufficient. Use only a 50W (or its equivalent) Max. Halogen Narrow Flood replacement bulb.
IMPORTANT!
Halogen lamps are constructed of a glass bulb with a pressurized internal filament tube that operates at high temperatures and could unexpectedly shatter. Should the outer bulb break, particles of extremely hot glass could be discharged into the fixture enclosure and/or surrounding environment, thereby creating a risk of personal injury or fire. When replacing the bulb, let the bulb cool, and assure that power to the light has been turned off. Never allow the hot bulb to come into contact with water. DO NOT TOUCH the light bulb when in use. It may be hot enough to cause injury.

IMPORTANT!
Do not use the rotisserie burner when the secondary cooking racks or trays are in place. Before using the rotisserie burner, ensure that these racks and trays are removed.
Preparation
Recommended: dental floss or butcher string, scissors, secondary cooking tray, pliers, meat probe, foil, and hot pads.
Working area
Allow enough space to accommodate food and rotisserie rod assembly in a clean environment.
Meat preparation
Tie meat with butcher string or dental floss in three areas. Purchase a roast that is equally balanced from top to bottom in size to ensure meat will cook evenly while on the Rotisserie. For Poultry, tie wings and legs to the body using dental floss or butcher string to prevent flopping around while turning.

To catch meat drippings, place secondary cooking tray onto grates or ceramic radiant rods depending on your preference. Note: grates must first be removed if placing tray on ceramic radiant rods.
To light the rotisserie burner before cooking
The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotisserie 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 rotisserie burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on:
① The safety valve button is pressed, and held down.
② The safety valve thermocouple has been sufficiently heated to keep safety valve open.
Note: the Grill Igniter will glow orange, but there will be no clicking sound during ignition.
Push in and hold the selected burner knob for two seconds. Verify that the hot surface igniter is glowing. Turn the burner knob to "HI" position. Then press and hold the safety valve button in for 10 seconds or until the burner remains lit. Once lit, turn control knob to desired setting. If burner does not light, turn knob "OFF" and wait five minutes before trying again so any accumulated gas may dissipate.
• If relighting a hot burner, wait five minutes.
- Never leave the control knob on if rotisserie is not in use.
- Never light the grill burners under the rotisserie while the rear rotisserie burner is lit.
Manual lighting
To manually light the rotisserie, place a butane lighter near the tip of the thermocouple. Push in and turn the control knob to "HI". Hold the safety valve button in for 10 seconds or until the burner remains lit. Once lit, turn control knob to desired setting. If the burner does not light, release the safety valve button and turn the control knob to "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before trying again.
IMPORTANT!
Keep hands and face away from front of burner! Stand to the side when lighting. Once lit move hand away quickly.

IMPORTANT!
The prongs are very sharp. Keep hands away from tips when removing the food.
Note: cover with foil for a 15 to 20 minute waiting time. Meat will carve better and juices will go back into the meat.
Rotisserie rod storage
The rotisserie rod can be stored in the tray located under the grill head. When storing the rotisserie rods, please use two hands to store it correctly and ensure it is locked into place. Please use two hands to remove the rod from its storage compartment, taking care to ensure it does not drop.

natural_image
Technical line drawings of mechanical components, showing front and side views (no text or symbols)FIG. 32 FIG. 33
Using the rod storage unit
① Slide out the drip tray that sits underneath the control panel.
② Locate hooks under front lip of the drip tray.
③ Place rotisserie rod onto hooks.
④ Slide the drip tray back into place.
The following accessories can be purchased separately from authorized DCS dealers.
Grill covers
To ensure high performance and longevity of your grill, we recommend purchasing a grill cover. Particularly if your grill is going to be stored outside.
Storage unit
The unit can be bolted onto either side of the grill. Please note, if you are using the rotisserie, the storage unit will need to be installed on the opposite side to where the motor sits. You can install up to two storage units on the grill, however, as the storage unit is attached at the same location as the rotisserie motor, installing two storage units will mean that the rotisserie motor cannot be installed.
All removable parts of the storage unit are dishwasher safe. Please see the storage unit quick start guide for install instructions, use and care and further information.
Griddle plate
The griddle plate can be purchased separately. Do not place griddle plates side-by-side. Please see the griddle plate quick start guide for install instructions, use and care and further information.
Infrared hybrid burner
Provides an additional cooking option. Please see the IR burner quick start guide for install instructions, use and care and further information.
Insulated jacket
We recommend purchasing a DCS insulated jacket if installing your grill into a combustible enclosure, as it will reduce the risk of fire, property damage and personal injury. Please see the insulated jacket quick start guide for install instructions, use and care and further information.
IMPORTANT!
Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, on the piping or hose it must be replaced prior to use.
Regulator and hose replacement
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. If replacements are needed, contact customer care at www.dcsappliances.com. 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. Turn all knobs to “OFF” then turn on the gas supply. If LP, check that there is gas in the tank.
IMPORTANT!
• Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
- Do not leave the grill unattended while cooking.
- Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check connections before each use.
- Do not attempt to light the grill if the odor of gas is present.
- Wait five minutes before relighting a hot grill.
Grill grates
Method 1
Turn U-burners on "HI" for 15-20 minutes to burn any remaining food particles. After turning the grill "OFF", use a bristle barbeque brush to remove any remaining food particles or ash.
Method 2
The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam. Dip a soft brass bristle barbeque brush in a mixture of two cups of tap water and 12 cup of vinegar and scrub the hot grill. Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water and vinegar. Steam, created as water contacts the hot grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto the ceramic rods and burn or fall into the drip pan. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, this process will be more difficult.
Method 3
Take about one foot of aluminum foil, crumpled up in a ball and rub it over cooled grates to release food particles.
Note: grill grates must be re-seasoned after cleaning to prevent rust stains.
Drip pan and grease tray
The full width drip pan with grease tray will collect grease from the grill section and boil overs and spills from the side burners. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before attempting to clean. Clean grease from the pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
Ceramic rods
It is not necessary to remove the ceramic rods for cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the next cooking operation. Periodically the trays holding the ceramic rods need to be turned over, and shaken free of debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type of food cooked will determine when it is necessary to clean the trays. If grease can be seen on the top of the tubes or if there are a lot of flare-ups during cooking, the tubes need to be turned over and heated on "HI" for 30 minutes; longer for heavy soil.

304 Stainless steel
The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolor from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain. To touch up noticeable scratches in the stainless steel, sand very lightly with wet 100 grit emery paper in the direction of the grain. Specks of grease can gather on the surfaces of the stainless steel and bake on to the surface and give the appearance of rust. For removal use an abrasive pad (Scotch Brite is good) in conjunction with a stainless steel cleaner. Always rub in the direction of the grain.
Note: stainless steel tends to corrode in presence of chlorides and sulfides especially in coastal areas. To ensure corrosion prevention, wash all stainless steel surfaces every three to four weeks with fresh water and stainless cleaner. Keep grill covered when not in use.
Removing the U-burners for cleaning

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with a tool inserted, showing no text or symbols① Ensure gas supply has been turned off. Remove the grill grates, then lift out the grill radiant tray. Use a screw driver to pry open the slot to release the u-burner.

natural_image
Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with no visible text or symbols① Grip the u-burner and press downwards with your thumbs on the bracket in the back while lifting up on the u-burner. Pull it up and slightly to the rear of the unit so the burner air shutter head comes off the brass orifice at the front, angle the burner sideways, and remove.
IMPORTANT!
When re-installing the u-burner after cleaning, ensure that it is completely level and locked in place. This is needed to ensure your grill provides an even cooking performance.
Grill burner cleaning
Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the air shutter. Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked. If obstructions can be seen, use a metal wire coat hanger that has been straightened (see Fig. 35).
Orifice cleaning
With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle.
