IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the outdoor appliance beyond cylinder
filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
Be sure to remove covers from grill, griddle or side burners before attempting to light or use.
“Overfilled” tanks can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the tanks pressure relief valve will vent
propane gas vapor to relieve this excess pressure. This vapor is combustible and therefore can be ignited. To
reduce this danger, you should take the following safety precautions:
1. When you have your tank filled, be sure you tell the supplier to fill it to no more than 3/4 (75%) of its total
capacity.
2 . If you own or use a spare tank, or have a disconnected tank, you should NEVER
store it near or under the outdoor appliance/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 grill of these
safety precautions. Install this sticker close to your barbeque grill.
3. Donot storeafull tank in directsunlight.
WARNING!
Do not trylighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS”
section of this manual. This outdoor appliance is for outdoor use only.
WARNING!
Push and hold the igniter button, turn the selected burner knob to “HI” or “SEAR”. If
burner does not light in 4 to 5 seconds turn knob “OFF” and wait 5 minutes for any
accumulated gas to dissipate before trying again.
■ Begin by insuring proper installation and
servicing. Follow the installation instructions
within this manual. Have your outdoor
appliance installed by a qualified technician.
Have the installer show you where the gas
supply shut-off valve is located so that you
know where to shut off the gas to the outdoor
appliance. 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. Finding a leak is not a “do-it-yourself ”
procedure. Some leaks can only be found with
the burner control in the “ON” position and
this must be done byaqualified technician.
■ Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where the outdoor appliance is being used. Never
allow them to sit, stand or play on or around the outdoor appliance at any time. When in use, portions of the
outdoor appliancecan get hot enough tocause severe burns.
■ Do not store items of interest to children around or below the outdoor appliance, in the cart or masonry
enclosure. Never allow children to crawl inside a cart or enclosure.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS
•Always follow lighting instructions.
• Lid must be off before lighting
thegrill or side burners.
• Check for gas leaks before lighting.
• Never lean over an open grill when
lighting. Serious burns may result.
• Hot surfaces surrounding grill
grates could cause serious burns.
• Always leave at least 12" clearance
tocombustibles around the grill.
• Never store a spare LP cylinder
under or near this unit.
• Never fill the tank beyond 3/4 full. A
fire causing death or serious injury
mayoccur.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans, 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.
■ When 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 them periodically for optimum performance.
■ Clean the outdoor appliance with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the outdoor
appliance while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes or can ignite if applied to a hot surface.
■ Be sure all outdoor appliance controls are turned off and the outdoor appliance is cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner on or around the outdoor appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
■ Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
■ Never use outdoor appliance without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back.
Without the grease pan, hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
■ Do not operate the outdoor appliance under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas.
Donot use in buildings,garages,sheds, breezeway, covered structure or other such over head structures and
enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only.
■ If a cart unit is stored indoors, ensure that it is cool, fold the optional side shelf(s) down, and never push or pull on

LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR):
All outdoor appliances orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assembly
for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.
Connection: 1/2" NPT male with a 3/8" Flare adapter (included). LP Hose with a quick disconnect and fittings are
included. Operating pressure: 11.0" W.C.
CAUTION!
Before connecting LP tank to regulator, check that all burners are in the “OFF” position and the lid has been
removed.
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. 23) after each use and during
transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the tank valve and turn the black coupler clockwise
until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten the coupler. Turn the main tank valve on, push 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 5 minutes before attempting to light 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.
LP TANK REQUIREMENTS:
Adented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP supplier. The cylinder that is
used must haveacollar 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 a 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.
Note:
When an LP unit is directly attached
intoan LP house system, the step-
down regulator MUST be used to
reducethe supply pressureto a max.
14” W.C. and min. 11” W.C. tothe

LP TANK RESTRAINT FOR BUILT-IN INSTALLATION
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.
Ifyou intend to operate your Built-in grill on LP gas utilizing a 20 lb Type 1 cylinder, then the Built-in LP tank
restraint must be installed prior to initial use of the grill. If you do not have one please contact DCS Customer
Care at [phone] for information on obtaining one.
The following steps will illustrate how to properly locate and install the LP tank restraint within the Built-in
enclosure.
NOTE:
The grill comes with the LP 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.
