DCS Professional Ranges are designed with a number of features and are available in a muhitude of
different combinations: top burner sections, thermostatic griddHes, and grHHs.Ranges are avaHabHein
30'_36'_and 48"widths. The Hargecapacity eHectric ovens of the DuaHFueHRange are seHf-cHeaning and
convection. The seconda r_,,,eHectric oven found on the Heftside of the 48" DuaHFueHRange can Bake or
Broil, and aHsohas a Proof feature. AHHrange modeHs require the instaHHation of one of the two (I 2" or
30") offered Backguards. (Unless island installation).
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION
The RDS Series is tested in accordance to UL Standard 858 and ANSI Z21.1. These ranges must be
installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. Due to the professional high heat
capacity of this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to
ensure it meets local building codes. To eliminate risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface
units, cabinet storage located above the surface units should be avoided.
Check local building codes for the proper method of range installation. Local codes vary. Installation,
electrical connections, and grounding must comply with all applicable codes. In the absence of local
codes, the range should be installed in accordance with the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1-1988
and National Electrical Code ANSI /NFPA70-1990. Be sure that the unit being installed is set up for the
kind of gas being used. The gas range is shipped from the factory set and adjusted for Natural Gas or
LP (propane), depending on the specific model ordered. Verify that the range is compatible with
gas supply at the installation site before proceeding further, Return range to dealer if unit is not
set for site gas supply.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION
Install components in the following order:
A) Vent Hood
B} Backguard System
C) Range
1) Locate and [eve[ range according to range installation instructions.
2} Measure distance from floor to top of isHandtrim on range, adding 1/8"for backguard cHearance.
3) Transfer this measurement to the waHLThis wHHmark the bottom of your backguard.
4) From this Hine measure 28" up waHHto mark top of 30" backguard. This is the minimum height
that the bottom of your vent hood can be instaHHed.
6} FoHHowvent hood manufacturer's instaHHation instructions to instaHHvent hood.
7} FoHHowbackguard instaHHation instructions to instaHHbackguard.
8) Connect gas and eHectric connections and snide range into position.
UNPACKING AND HANDLING
STEP 1:
MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE
The ranges have shipping weights varying from
4201bs. to 6301bs less approx. 501bs. after removal of
packing material. It is recommended that the
door(s), grates, front kick panel, and drip pan (below
knobs) be removed to facilitate handling. This will
reduce the weight for ease of handling.

UNPACKING AND HANDUNG
CAUTION:
Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the range
to avoid damage to the unit or the floor. The unit is heavy and rests on
adjustable steel legs.
WARNING:
DONOTlift range by the ovendoor handles!!
WARNING:
DONOTremove the grill or griddle assemblies!!
Htmay be necessary to remove the oven doors and
knobs to pass through some doorways. With the
doors and knobs removed, a 29 1/16" (RDS 36/48)
29 3/8" (RDS 305) wide opening is required.
Without removing the door, a 31 1/2" (RDS36/48) /
30" (RDS305) wide opening is required. Remove
the outer carton and packing materiaH from the
shipping base.
Remove the kick pand by removing two screws at
the top and pulling forward. The range is held to
the skid by two bolts in the front behind the kick
panel, (fig. 1) and two L-brackets located on the
bottom flange of the range back (fig .2). After
removing the bolts and brackets, the range must be
lifted and removed from the skid.
Due to the weight, a dolly with soft wheels should
be used to move this unit. The weight must be
supported, uniformly across the bottom (fig. 3). To
remove the door, open the door and hold it all the
way open. Close the hinge latches (fig.4) and
release the door. The door can then be removed by
gently lifting and pulling the door, with the hinges
up and out of the frame.
The professional range should be transported by a
dolly close to its final location. The range can be
tipped back and supported on the rear legs while
the dolly is removed. The floor under the legs
should be protected (Wood Strips, Carpet, Paneling,
etc.) before pushing the unit back into position. Leveling Legs

UNPACKING AND HANDLING
MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE
E[ectdc and gas connections should be made
before the range is slid into the cabinet opening
(see page 13 & 14).ffinsta[[ing afuji backguard with
the range, it should also be installed before the
range is placed in its final position (refer to page 5).
For proper performance, the professional range
should be [eve[. To achieve a flush fit of the range
to adjoining countertops, it wH[ be necessary to
have [eve[ cabinets (front to back, and Heftto right
across opening of the range). After checking the
countertops for [eve[ and before sHiding the range
into pHace,measure the distance from the floor to
the top of the counter work surface in the rear Heft
and right corners. Adjust the corresponding rear
corner of the range to an equa[ height of the
counter, as the rear [eveHing [egs are not accessibHe
once the range is pushed into place. Once the
range is in place, the front leg levelers can be
accessed to level the front of the range. Replace
the kick panel and oven doors by reversing the
procedure described previously. It is important
that the two screws retaining the kick panel are
secure to prevent accidental access to live electrical
components and wires (fig. 1).
GRIDDLE AND GRILL LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
The grill and griddle sections (if equipped) are
fastened in place at the front with screws. They are
designed to be stationary and not meant to be
removed for cleaning. The griddle has two leveling
screws beneath the rear flue cover which can be
used to adjust the griddle to the desired slope. To
access the leveling adjustment screws, remove the
griddle flue cover by lifting upwards. The center
screw is for shipping and should be removed.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
STEP 2:
A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the range. The following chart indicates the
minimum blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.

_*When installing a unit featuring a grill, select a blower on the high end of recommendation.
_x Ail 36" Range GL models require a 1200 CFM ventilation unit.
CAUTION:
Ventilation hoods and blowers are designed for use with single wall ducting.
However, some local building codes or inspectors may require double wall
ducting. Consult local building codes and/or local agencies, before starting, to
ensure that hood and duct installation will meet local requirements.
Hood blower speeds should be variable to reduce noise and loss of heated or air conditioned
household air when maximum ventilation is not required. Normally, the maximum blower speed is
only required when using the grill.
For best smoke elimination, the lower edge of the hood should be installed a minimum of 30" to a
maximum of 36" above the range cooking surface, (page 10 & 12). if the hood contains any
combustible materials (i.e.a wood covering) it must be a minimum of 36" above the cooking surface.
Due to a high volume of ventilation air, a source of outside replacement air is recommended. This is
particularly important for tightly sealed and insulated homes. A reputable heating and ventilating
contractor should be consulted.

INSTALLING ANTI oTIP DEVICE
Aii ranges must have an anti-tip device
correctly installed as per the following
instructions, if you puil the range out
from the wail for any reason, make sure
that the device is properly engaged
when you push the range back against
the wail. if it is not, there is a possible
risk of the range tipping over and
causing injury if you or a child stand, sit
or lean on an open oven door.
