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. Keep outdoor cooking gas appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids.
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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
yDo not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this
manual (page 27).
yThis grill must be installed according to these instructions and in compliance with the requirements
of the current version of AS/NZS 5601.1, local authority, gas, electricity, and any other statutory
regulations. Failure to install the product correctly could invalidate any warranty or liability claims.
yRefer to the current version of AS/NZS 5601.1 for pipe sizing details.
yBegin by ensuring proper installation and servicing. 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
you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for leaks. 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 and this must be done by a qualified gas fitter.
yChildren 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.
yDo not store items of interest to children around or below the grill, in the cart or masonry enclosure.
Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.
yNever attach or disconnect an LPG cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in
operation or is hot.
yUse caution when closing the hood, especially if there are children around. Check that the path of
the hood is clear, as its weight could cause injury to hands or fingers caught under it.
yClean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks, or
insect activity. Have a qualified gas fitter check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and
venturi/valve section carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (cylinder or supply line) prior to
inspecting parts.
yAfter 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.
yAlways use a covered hand when opening the grill hood and only do so slowly to allow heat and
steam to escape.
yAfter lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see section “Burner adjustment”).
yThe sear burner is designed specifically for searing food. Do not use the griddle plate accessory or
charcoal insert or cover it with any other utensil type except the sear hot plate.
yDo 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.
yThe prongs of the rotisserie forks are very sharp. Take care when unpacking, assembling, or handling
the rotisserie to avoid injury.
yDo not operate with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been
damaged in any manner. Contact the manufacturer for repair.
yDo not let the cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
yDo not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.
yThis appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
yDo not modify this appliance.
yDo not use lighter fluid in the outdoor grill. Combustible fuels must not be used with the appliance.
yKeep any electrical supply cord, or the rotisserie motor cord away from the heated areas of the grill
and water (pools, fountains, puddles).
yNever use a dented or rusty LPG cylinder. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure
free and clear from debris.
yDo not move the appliance during its use.
yDo not locate the outdoor grill in an inclined plane. Be sure to lock the castor wheels before
operating the unit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
yKeep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids
and vapours such as gasoline or charcoal lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
ySome synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Only certain
types of glass, heat-proof glass ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for grill
use. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or
medium heat settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.
ySpiders and insects can nest in the grill burners, causing gas not to flow through the burner. The gas
will flow from the front of the burner into the control panel. This is a very dangerous condition which
can cause a fire to occur behind the valve panel, thereby damaging the grill components and making
it unsafe to operate.
yWhen using the side burners always use flat bottomed pans which are large enough to cover
the side burner. Adjust the flame so that it heats only the bottom of the pan to avoid ignition of
clothing. Position handles inward away from open edges of the unit to avoid burns associated
with unintentional spillovers. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of it when turning
or stirring food. For proper lighting and performance of the burners keep the ports clean. It is
necessary to clean periodically for optimum performance.
yDo not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
yNever grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and the drip pan pushed all the way to the
back of the grill. Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
yAlways ensure adequate ventilation for the grill. Never block any ventilation openings.
yIf a cart unit is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push the grill,
never pull. Never push or pull on the side shelves. If LPG, the cylinder must be unhooked and the
LPG cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.
yIf grill is mounted on a mobile cart: do not remove castor wheels from cart, as resting the cart
directly on its base will block ventilation openings, causing a hazardous situation. Keep ventilation
openings on side walls and base of cart unobstructed at all times.
yNever use the grill in a windy area.
yHave an ABC-rated Fire Extinguisher accessible – never attempt to extinguish a grease fire with
water or other liquids.
yWhen 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).
yTo put out flare-ups, adjust the controls to lower the temperature.
yWhen cooking with the hood closed, use the LOW setting only.
yNever use the grill or sear burner while the rotisserie burner is lit.
yThis outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles, trailers
and/or boats. Do not install in, or connect to consumer piping or gas supply of a boat or caravan.
yIf you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER store it near or under
the grill/cart unit or heat box, or near any other ignition or heat source. A metallic sticker with this
warning is provided with the grill to remind you, your family and all others who may use your BBQ
grill of these safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.

INSTALLATION
Locating Grill / Built-in Clearances
IMPORTANT!
Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill.
Loosen the four screws. Slide the shipping bracket off and
re-tighten the screws.
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 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.

INSTALLATION
Locating Built-in Clearances
IMPORTANT!
Gas fittings, regulator, and installer supplied shut-off valves must be easily accessible.
Wind hitting the grill while in use, (especially wind blowing into or across the hood gap) can cause
poor performance and in some cases can cause the control panel to get dangerously hot.
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 76mm for non-combustibles, or
457mm for combustibles, from the back of the grill

INSTALLATION
Clearances to non-combustible construction*
A minimum of 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 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.
Locating Built-in Clearances
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.
*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.
IMPORTANT!
yFailure to maintain required clearances creates a fire hazard that may result in property damage or
serious personal injury.
yThe 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.
yIf 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.

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 by Fisher & Paykel 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.
**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 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 127mm of the top.
Clearances to combustible construction**
Minimum of 450mm 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 450mm minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible
construction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.

Clearances to protected combustible construction***
A minimum of 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 305mm includes
102mm min. non-combustible material plus an additional 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).
***DEFINITION OF PROTECTED COMBUSTIBLE SURFACE - A wall of non-combustible material in

Gas requirements
Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either Natural or LPG, 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, the installation must comply with the the
requirements of the current version of AS/NZS 5601.1 and any other applicable statutory regulations.
All pipe sealants must be an approved type and resistant to the actions of LPG 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 the requirements of the
current version of AS/NZS 5601.1 and any other applicable statutory regulations. Gas conversion kits are
available from Customer care. When ordering gas conversion kits, have the model number, and the type of gas
(natural or LPG) from your grill.

The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
3.5 kPa (1/2 PSIG). 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 3.5 kPa (1/2
PSIG).
All piping and hoses to run away from the product and

Connection: Grills set for use with Natural gas come with an NG regulator assembly which has a short
section of hose already connected. The regulator has a test point. The regulator assembly is not con-
nected to the appliance. A certified gas fitter needs to connect the appliance to the gas supply. Shut-
off valve and gas fittings for rigid piping connection are not supplied with the appliance - they must be
provided by the installer.
For built-in installation with connection to Natural gas:
1Attach regulator hose assembly to the appliance using the 3/8” SAE 45 Flare connection.
2Plumb from the female 1/2” BSP side of the regulator to gas supply.
3Do leak test.
4After the connection is completed, turn the shut-off 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 light the burners.
For units mounted on a mobile cart and being connected to a reticulated supply of Natural gas, and
where a quick-connect device is used, ensure that:
yThe quick-connect device is certified to AS4627 and the gas hose assembly is certified to AS/NZS 1869.
yLimited flexibility connectors is certified to AS 4631.
yThe gas fittings and hose assembly are compatible with the gas supply system and is able to deliver the
maximum gas rating requirement of the DCS Outdoor Grill.
yAll gas installation works are carried out in accordance the the AS/NZS Gas Installations Standard AS/NZS
5601 and other applicable Standards.
yVerify that connections are leak tested.

INSTALLATION
Gas Hook-up
LP cart hook-up
Grills orificed for use with combustible gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator
assembly for connection to a standard 9 kg LPG Type 27 cylinder (Type 1). The LPG gas tank is not
included. The grill system is leak tested, do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the grill
during cart installation.
Connection: 1/2” NPT male with a 3/8” Flare adapter (included). LPG Hose with a Type 27 fitting
and fittings are included. Operating pressure: 2.75 kPa. Maximum supply pressure: 1750 kPa.
To connect the LPG regulator/hose assembly to the cylinder/valve assembly, first make sure the
main valve on the cylinder is completely closed. You should always turn off the LPG cylinder main
valve (Fig. 07) after each use and during transport of the cylinder or unit. Insert the cylinder valve
inside the large diameter wheel and turn the wheel clockwise by hand until the connection tightens
up. Do not overtighten the wheel. A good connection can be made without the use of tools. Turn
the main cylinder 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 be-
fore attempting to light the burners.
To disconnect the regulator from the cylinder, first make sure the main cylinder valve is turned off.
Grasp the large diameter wheel and turn counterclockwise until the inlet will disengage. The inlet
will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the cylinder valve opening if it has not already done so
when it disengaged. Your local LPG filling station should be equipped with the proper equipment to
fill your cylinder.
LPG cylinder requirements:
A dented or rusty LPG cylinder may be hazardous and should be checked by your LPG 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 LPG cylinder change. The LPG gas cylinder must
conform to AS2030.1. Do not change the regulator/hose assembly from that supplied with the unit.
The cylinder must be provided with a shut-off valve terminating in an LPG gas supply cylinder valve
outlet specified, as applicable, for Type 27 connection. If the appliance is stored indoors, the cylin-
der must be disconnected and removed from the appliance. Cylinders must be stored outdoors in a
well-ventilated area out of the reach of children.
Note: when an LPG unit is being directly connected to an LPG house system, you must follow the
Natural gas hook up guidelines. The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the
gas flow to 2.75 kPa. The Grill comes with the LPG Regulator/Hose assembly installed at the factory.
The assembly, along with the entire Grill system, is leak tested. Do not remove the Regulator/Hose
assembly from the Grill during installation.
IMPORTANT!
yBefore connecting LP tank to regulator, check
that all grill burners and rotisserie valves are in
the OFF position and open grill hood.
yDo 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.
yCheck the hose, regulator and connectors for
damage. Look for cracks, abrasions, brittleness,
holes, dents and nicks.
yDo not attempt to remove, repair, or replace the
regulator/hose assembly by yourself. It must be
done by a qualified licensed technician only.
