SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. To ensure professional results, the cabinet and
countertop openings should be prepared by a
qualified cabinet worker.
2. The clearances shown in Fig.1 are required for
installations of cooktop and islands.
3. The cooktop is designed to hang from the coun-
tertop by its side flanges. The countertop how
ever, must be strong enough to support this
heavy cooktop. It may be necessary to add a 2
x 4 corner brace (See Figs.3, 4, and 5). Another
alternate would be to construct a deck to set the
cooktop on.
4. The cooktop can be installed in various positions
with the front either flush or projecting, depend-
ing on the countertop depth. (See Fig.2 side
view of cooktop; see Figs.3-5 for alternate
mounting positions.)

For cabinets with no side access, first fasten the brack-
ets to the cabinet side wall using a suitable fastener.
Then drill two 5/32”dia. holes upward into the bot-
tom of cooktop and fasten as shown in Fig 7. coun-
tertop.
POWER REQUIREMENTS:
120 VAC, 60 Hz.
7 Amp.
(Use 15 Amp. Circuit)
Always disconnect electric supply cord from the wall
outlet or service disconnect before servicing this appli-
ance. Observe all governing codes and ordinances
when grounding, in absence of which, observe
National Electrical Code ANSI / NFPA No. 70-1987.
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
This appliance is factory equipped with a power sup-
ply cord with a three-prong grounding plug (with
polarized parallel blades). It must be plugged into
a mating grounding, type receptacle, connected to
a correctly polarized 120 Volt circuit. If the circuit
does not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the
responsibility and obligation of the installer or user to
have the existing receptacle changed to a properly
grounded and polarized receptacle in accordance with
all applicable local codes and ordinances by a quali-
fied electrician. In the absence of local codes and
ordinances the receptacle replacement shall be in
accordance with the National Electrical Code.
THE THIRD PRONG SHOULD NOT, UNDER ANY

If installation of a properly grounded wall receptacle
is impossible at the time of installation, consult your
local electrical inspector for permission to connect a
temporary adapter (with polarized blades) which could
be plugged into your present 2-wire receptacle; howev-
er, this is not recommended. If this is done, you must
attach the lug and/or the green adapter wire to the
receptacle cover plate screw. Ground from it to a
grounded metal cold water pipe*(See Fig.10). Do not
g round to a gas supply pipe. You must perma-
nently ground the adapter before connecting the appli-
ance to the power supply.
CAUTION:
Attaching the adapter ground wire to
wall receptacle cover screw does not
ground the appliance unless the cover
screw is grounded through house wiring.
If there is any doubt as to whether the
wall receptacle is properly grounded, the
customer should have it checked by a
qualified electrician.
* Cold water pipe must have metal continuity the
electrical ground and cannot be interrupted by plas-
tic, rubber or other electrically insulating connectors
(including water meter or pump) without adding a
jumper wire at these connections (See Fig.9).

GAS REQUIREMENTS
Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The
cooktop is shipped from the factory set up and
adjusted for natural gas. The unit can be readily
converted to LP as described below.
Natural Gas Requirements:
Connection: 1/2”N.P.T.
Pressure: 6”to 14”Water Column
A manual shut off valve must be installed before the
regulator.
LP Gas Requirements:
Pressure: 11”to 14”Water Column
A regulator is required at the LP source to provide a
maximum of 14”W.C. to the cooktop regulator.
LP CONVERSION:
If propane is desired you must obtain a conversion
kit from the factory for more information on type of
conversion kit needed. Call Parts and Service
[phone]
HOOK UP:
Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall
valve before connecting the appliance. All gas sup-
ply connections should be made by a qualified tech-
nician and in accordance with local codes or ordi-
nances. In the absence of a local code, the installa-
tion must conform to the National Fuel Gas Code
ANSI 223.1-1984.
Install the 1/2”coupling to the gas inlet at the left
rear corner of the unit. Next, install the 1/2”close
nipple and regulator (See Fig.11). When installing
the regulator, be sure to have the arrow on the reg-
ulator body pointing towards the cooktop inlet.
Only use sealant which is resistant to the actions of
LP. gases.
To operate, push and turn the burner control knob
to the lite position. The gas flowing to the pilot
burner will be ignited by the electric spark igniter.
The audible clicking signal is an indication that the
igniter is functioning. The appliance is equipped
with a safety valve which will take about 30 seconds
to heat up before allowing the main burner to come
on, once ignited rotate the dial to the desired set-
ting.
CAUTION:
The appliance must be isolated from the buildings-
gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal
to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa.).
When checking the cooktop manifold gas pressure,
the inlet pressure to the regulator should be at least
6.0”W.C. for natural gas or 11.0”for LP.
STEP 5: GAS CONVERSION

HEADER
The backguard must be installed when there is less
than a 12”clearance between combustibles and
back edge of cooktop. For island installations and
other installations with over 12”clearance, and
optional stainless steel trim channel is available to
cover the backguard mounting flanges.
Refer to Fig.12
A. Slide backguard over the 2 flanges on the rear
of the appliance. Fasten the back with two screws
(See A Fig.12) provided. No screws are required
behind the wok section.
B. Fasten the top of the backguard to the wall
with two screws through the backguard (See B.).
C. Place the backguard cap on top and fasten
using the two counter-sunk screws provided.
Check for proper burner flame characteristics and
adjust the air shutter if necessary. Each burner and
valve is individually checked at the factory prior to
shipment but variations in local gas supply may
make adjustment necessary.
Burner flames should be blue and stable with no
yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. If any of
these conditions exist, check that the regulator is
installed with the arrow pointing towards the appli-
ance, and that it is 5.0 inches w.c. Nat. gas; and 10.0
inches for propane.
If this condition persists, the air shutters should be
adjusted. Begin by removing the valve panel using
the access hole provided, loosen the air shutter
locking screw on the face of the burners mixing
head.
If the flame is too yellow, indicating insufficient air,
adjust the shutter to increase the air inlet.
If the flame is noisy or tends to lift away from the
burner, indicating too much air, adjust the shutter to
decrease the inlet.
The burner flame should be 1-1/2 to 2-1/2 inches
high.
Adjustable - Low Setting:
The open top burner valve used on your cooktop
has an adjustable low setting. Each valve is individ-
ually tested and adjusted on the appliance prior to
shipment. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure and
heating valve, you may feel it necessary to increase
or decrease the gas flow at the low position.

USE & CARE INSTRUCTIONS

HEADER
Your new DCS Professional appliances have been
designed to be safe, reliable appliances. However,
use extreme care when using these restaurant cal-
iber appliances as they provide intense heat and can
increase the accident potential. Basic safety precau-
tions must be followed, including the following:
Read all instructions carefully before using any of
these appliances to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, or injury to persons.
Be sure your appliance/s are properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the installation instructions provided with the
unit(s). Have the technician show you the location
of each individual gas shut-off valve so that you
know how and where to turn off the gas.
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a prop-
er job of checking for leaks. Connections can
loosen in transit. If the connections are not per-
fectly tight, you can have a small leak and, there-
fore, a faint gas smell. Finding a gas leak is not a
do-it-yourself procedure. Call the installer to
recheck the installation as some leaks can only be
found with the burner control in the ON position.
These units are factory assembled for natural gas.
Any of them may be converted to propane by a
qualified service technician or installer.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliances
unless specifically recommended in this manual. All
servicing should be referred to a qualified techni-
cian.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where appliances are in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.
Caution:
Do not store items of interest to children above any
of the units or at the back of them. if children should
climb onto an appliance to reach these items, they
could be seriously injured.
When using any of these appliances: DO NOT
TOUCH THEM OR THE AREAS NEAR THEM.
Areas adjacent to these appliances may become hot
enough to cause burns.
Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable
materials come in contact with or too close to any
appliance while in operation. Fabric may ignite and
result in personal injury.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fit-
ting garments or hanging sleeves should never be
worn while cooking. Some synthetic fabrics are
highly flammable and should not be worn while
cooking.
Warning:
These appliances are for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, never use them to warm or heat a
room.
Clean any appliance with caution. A wet sponge
or cloth used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area
can result in steam burns. Some cleaners can pro-
duce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufac-
turer.
Never use any part of an appliance for storage.
Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items
may ignite or melt.
SECTION ONE:SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS

HEADER
Do not use aluminum foil as a shield against
food spills or drippings around any of these appli-
ances. This could obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool
before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect in the drip tray under the griddle,
the grill or the wok. Clean the tray after each
use.
DO NOT USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE. Use a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher, or
smother fire with baking soda.
If the appliances are near a window, be certain the
curtains cannot blow over or near it - they could
catch fire.
The ventilator hood and the filters above your
appliances should be cleaned frequently,so grease
from cooking vapors will not accumulate on them.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, turn the
control knob off. Open a window or door. Do not
attempt to use any appliance until the gas has had
time to dissipate. Wait at least 5 minutes before
using a gas appliance.
Be sure all appliance controls are turned off and
they are cool before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around any gas appliance. The chem-
ical that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to cor-
rode.
Never leave the wok unattended when using high
flame settings. Greasy spill-overs may ignite. More
importantly, if the burner flames are smothered,
unburned gas will be escaping into the room.
California Proposition 65 -
Warning: Burning 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 expo-
sure to these substances, always operate these units
according to the instructions contained in this book-
let and provide good ventilation.

PRECAUTIONS

13
HEADER
Before using wok remove all packaging and
labels before use or seasoning the wok.
1. Be sure the drip trays are in place before
use.
2. When first using your wok make sure you
clean surface thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
This process is required before use to remove the
rust protective oil coating from the factory. Make
sure you dry surface thoroughly.
3. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use
corn oil) to the entire inside surface of wok with a
paper towel.
4.Begin by heating the wok on a medium setting
until the cooking surface turns a golden brown.
Repeat this procedure several times. This season-
ing seals the pores of the metal and keeps food
from sticking.
5.After using the wok, wash it in hot soapy water.
Do not use abrasives or scour. Apply a light coat
of vegetable oil to the inside surface with a paper
towel. Place the wok over a low setting for
approx. 15 to 30 seconds remove from heat and
let cool. Wipe off excess oil before storing.
WARNING:
Do not leave wok unattended
while cooking.
NOTE: It is normal for the wok to discolor and dark-
en with use. This lets you know that wok has been
well seasoned.
Using the wok:
1.Check to be certain the drip tray are in place
2.Place wok pan into support ring before turning on
the wok.
3.Turn the control knob to the setting preferred and
cook as desired.

A VENTILATING HOOD OF ADEQUATE CFM
CAPACITY VENTED TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE
HOUSE MUST BE INSTALLED ABOVE THIS WOK.
FOR MOST KITCHENS WITH A WALL MOUNTED
HOOD, A CERTIFIED HOOD RATING OF NOT
LESS THAN 900 CFM IS REQUIRED. THE HOOD
MUST BE INSTALLED ACCORDING TO INSTAL-
LATION INSTRUCTIONS FURNISHED WITH THE
HOOD.
BURNER:
Your new DCS Professional wok is equipped with a
heavy cast iron burner typical of those used in
restaurants. It is designed with an electric spark
ignition to eliminate the continuous pilot found on a
restaurant wok. The burner is rated at 30,000
BTU/HR.
NOTE: When used with propane gas, a slight pop
or flash may occur at the burner ports a few sec-
onds after the burner has been turned off. This
usually occurs after the burner has been on awhile.
This is a normal part of operation for your wok.
ELECTRIC SPARK IGNITER:
If the burner does not ignite, Turn the control knob
to “off”. (See page 16).
BURNER EFFICIENCY
and FLAME CHARACTERISTICS:
The burner flame should be blue in color and stable
with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting. It
should burn completely around both rings of the
burner. An improper gas-air mixture may cause
either a yellow tipped flame or burner flutter. Have
the flame adjusted by a technician. Foreign particles
in the gas line may cause an orange flame during
initial use. This will disappear with use.
For proper lighting and efficient performance of the
burner, it is necessary to keep the igniter and burner
ports clean. If the flame is uneven, flutters, makes
excessive noise or lifts, check to see if the burner
ports are clogged. If the ports are clogged, use a
wire, a straightened paper clip or needle to clear the
ports. Do not use a wood, or objects that could
break easily to clear ports they could break off
and clog ports. If the condition persists, contact a
service agency for adjustment.
CONTROL KNOB:
The burner has an infinite number of heat settings
and there are no fixed positions on the control knob
between HI and LO. To turn burner on, push in on
the control knob and turn it counterclockwise to the
LITE-HI position. A single click will be heard as the
spark igniter lights the pilot. The pilot will burn
approximately 30 seconds before the main gas safe-
ty valve opens and the burner lights.
DRIP TRAY:
A drip tray is located under the wok burner. Be
sure it is in place before using the wok. Spills
should be washed off as soon as possible to prevent
“baked on soil”. When the tray is cool, pull it for-
ward to remove.

USING THE WOK

HEADER
Be careful when cleaning sur-
face of wok while appliance is
still hot.
All parts of the wok can be cleaned with hot soapy
water, rinsed and dried. Use of brand names is
intended only to indicate a type of cleaner. This
does not constitute an endorsement, nor does the
omission of any brand name cleaner imply its inade-
quacy. When ever possible always use the mildest
cleaning procedure to do the job effectively. For
best results always rub in the direction of the polish
lines to avoid marring the surface. Always wipe dry
to avoid water spots.
DRIP TRAY:
Do not let grease accumulate in the tray as it
can be a fire hazard. Clean the tube as soon as
they are cool. Clean with hot, soapy water for the
tube use a soapy bottle brush. A mild abrasive
cleanser such as Bon-Ami or Soft Scrub can be used.
For stubborn stain use a soap filled steel wool pad
rubbing lightly. Rinse all parts thoroughly.
WOK PAN:
Cleaning of wok pan and support ring always use
the mildest procedure first. Wash in hot,soapy
water for stubborn stains you may use a stainless
steel product such as Bon-Ami or Soft Scrub rubbing
lightly. Do not use a steel wool pad, as it will
scratch the surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry after
drying apply a light coating of vegetable oil to the
inside surface of wok pan only. Apply oil with a
paper towel, heat on low setting for 20 seconds
allow to cool before handling wipe of excess oil.
BURNER:
For proper lighting and performance of the burner,
keep electric igniter, pilot, and the burner ports
clean. It is necessary to clean these only when
there is a severe spill over, the burner does not light
even though the electric spark igniter sparks. The
flame does not burn blue completely around both
rings of the burner. When cool, grasp the burner,
and lift up so it is above the burner support guide
posts towards the rear of wok. The venturi tube
will release from the orifice hood that is attached at
the front of the wok. Once the venturi tube is dis-
connected from the orifice hood the burner may
now be lifted out. Be careful not to bend or pull
igniter or the pilot. Clean burner with hot soapy
water and / or with a piece of wire, straightened
paper clip, or needle. Clear ports of any soil do
not use wood or other objects that may easily
break off inside burner ports. Wash using a
damp sponge, cloth, or brush rinse thoroughly and
dry. For heavy soil you may use scouring pads like
Scotch Brite or a wire brush and powdered
cleansers (Bon-Ami, Ajax) or steel wool pads
(S.O.S). Wash using a damp sponge, cloth or brush
rinse thoroughly and dry. Be sure venturi tube
drains well before replacing burner in wok.
