SAFETY AND WARNINGS
!WARNING!
Electric Shock Hazard
Failure to follow this advice may result in
electric shock or death.
• 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.
• Never remove the grounding plug or use with
a 2 prong adapter.
• Use only extension cords with a 3 prong
grounding plug, rated for the power of the
equipment, and approved for outdoor use with a
W-A marking.
• Do not immerse cord or plugs in water or
other liquid.
!WARNING!
Fire Hazard
Failure to follow this advice may result in a
fire causing death or serious injury.
• This unit is for outdoor use only. Do not operate
under unprotected combustible construction. Do
not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeways,
covered structures or other such enclosed areas.
• Never store a spare LP cylinder under or near
this unit. Do not fill the gas tank more than 80%
of its total capacity.
• Do not use aluminium foil to line drip pans. This
can interfere with combustion, air flow or trap
excessive heat in the control area. The result of
this can be melted dials or damaged ignition
components.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
!WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Failure to follow this advice may result in fire,
burns, scalds or personal injury.
• Accessible parts may become hot during use.
• When in use, do not touch the burner, grate,
or immediate surrounding area as these areas
become extremely hot. Clean the with caution.
• 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.
• Never lean over an open unit. When lighting a
burner, always pay close attention to what you
are doing. Be certain you are pushing the burner
dial when you attempt to light.
• Never operate the unit without a drip tray. Let hot
grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid
letting grease deposits collect in the drip pan.
• Ensure all controls are turned off and the unit
is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner
on or around the product. The chemical that
produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal to corrode
• Keep any electrical supply cord and the fuel
supply hose away from any heated surfaces.
!WARNING!
Excessive weight Hazard
Failure to follow this advice may result in
personal injury.
• Two or more people are required to move and
install this unit.

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. To allow for
this functionality, an approved DCS
kit is required and can be purchased
separately from your local DCS dealer.

3
Remove the 2 screws securing
the valve panel to the unit using
a Phillips screwdriver.
Remove all dials by pulling outwards.
Pull the valve panel down then
outward and unplug any wires.
Removing the valve panel
A complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site. Periodically
check the whole system for leaks, or immediately if the smell of gas is present.

15
LEAK TESTING
1
2
Prepare soap solution by combining
one part liquid detergent and one
part water. Pour into a spray bottle.
Ensure all control valves are in the
OFF position before turning the gas
supply ON.
Check all connections from the
supply line or LP cylinder by
applying the 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 the gas supply OFF and tighten any leaking connections. Turn gas ON,
and recheck. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn the gas supply OFF and call your local gas
utility or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. Only parts recommended by the
manufacturer should be used on the side burner/griddle, substitution can void the warranty.

Testing for leaks
Changing the LP cylinder
Ensure the main tank valve is turned off before turning the coupler counter clockwise, the
inlet will then disengage. Remove the inlet from the tank valve opening. Your local LP filling
station should be equipped with the proper equipment to fill your tank.
Do not attempt to remove, repair or replace the regulator/hose assembly. This must be
done by qualified and licensed technician only.

LOW FLAME ADJUSTMENT
1

2
Remove the dial.
While holding the valve shaft with
pliers, insert a flat-tipped screwdriver
into the shaft and, while viewing the
burner, adjust to a minimum stable
flame.
Push in and hold the selected dial
for 2 seconds before turning to HI.
Hold for 10 seconds to light the
selected burner.
Turn the control dial counter-
clockwise to the lowest setting.
BEZEL FRONT VIEW
The valves on the double side burner/griddle unit feature an adjustable low setting. Due
to fluctuations in gas pressure, or heating value you may feel it necessary to increase or
decrease gas flow in the low position. If the gas type has been converted from natural to LP
or vice-versa, the low flame setting must be reviewed and adjusted.

CARE AND CLEANING
Stainless steel
Always use the mildest cleaning method first. Do not use steel wool to clean the product as
it will scratch the surface.
Burner grates
For durability and optimal performance, the side burner grates are crafted using porcelain
enamel over cast iron. It is recommended that the grates are cleaned while in place,
however if removing the grates take care as they are heavy and ensure they are placed on a
protected surface. Grates can be cleaned using hot soapy water.
Due to rapid temperature changes the porcelain may lift from the edges of the grates. If the
grates develop chips do not be concerned, over time the cast iron will darken to blend with the
enamel. When wiping areas where the enamel has lifted take care as the edges may be sharp.
Drip tray
To clean the drip tray, pull tray forward to remove. Wipe spills as soon as possible to
prevent them becoming baked on.
Cleaning burner parts
1 Ensure all burner dials are in the OFF
position and all surfaces are cool.
2 Remove the burner cap and port ring
and wash in hot soapy water, rinse and
dry. The burner ports can be cleaned
using a bristled brush if needed.
3 After cleaning, ensure the locating
pins are correctly aligned. Incorrect
alignment can cause poor burner
performance and dangerous flames.

Griddle
The griddle assembly should not be removed for cleaning.
After each use:
1 While the griddle is still hot, remove all food particles using a brass brush.
2 Wait for the griddle to cool to a medium heat before rubbing the surface
lightly with vegetable oil.
3 Remove the grease cup and wipe clean.
4 Wipe the griddle thoroughly to remove any residue or food particles.
To remove excess grease build up:
5 Apply 1 tablespoon of vinegar and ½ cup of water to the griddle plate.
6 Clean with a scouring cloth taking care not to scratch surface.
7 Re-season the griddle follow instructions on page 9.
The griddle will naturally darken over time, this is normal and does not require any
additional cleaning. To remove any heat discoloration a stainless steel cleaner can be used.
