SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
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.
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.
yDo not heat unopened food containers as a build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
yAlways use a covered hand when opening the grill lid and only do so slowly to allow heat and steam
to escape.
yDo not try lighting this appliance without reading the “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” section of this
manual (page 21).
yAfter lighting burners, make sure burners are operating normally (see page 18).
yDo not use aluminum 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.
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 rotisserie cord hang over the edge of a table or touch hot surfaces.
yDo not use an outdoor cooking appliance for purposes other than intended.
yFor personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or sleeves should never be worn
while using this appliance. Some 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. 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.
yKeep the area surrounding the grill free from combustible materials, trash, or combustible fluids
and vapors such as gasoline, charcoal or lighter fluid. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air.
yNever use the grill in windy conditions. If located in a consistently windy area (oceanfront,
mountaintop, etc.) a wind break will be required. Always adhere to the specified clearances as
defined in the “INSTALLATION” section of this manual. Refer to the “Grill Placement” section for
details if fitting a wind break.
yCALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65-WARNING: The burning of 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 exposure to these substances, always operate this unit
according to the manual, ensuring you provide good ventilation when cooking with gas.
yThis outdoor cooking gas appliance is not intended to be installed in or on recreational vehicles,
trailers and/or boats.
yNote: this product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when installed within the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
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.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
yBe sure all grill controls are turned off and the grill is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner
on or around the grill. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat,
ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
yNever grill without the drip pan and grease tray in place and pushed all the way to the back of the
grill. Without it hot grease could leak downward and produce a fire or explosion hazard.
yDo not place griddle plates (some models only) side by side on the grill or on top of the Infrared
Hybrid Burner.
yDo not use the Infrared Hybrid Burner on BGB-36” or BGB-48” models. Use on BH1-36” & BH1-48”
models only.
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 LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP
cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.
yNever use the grill in a windy area.
yDo not locate, store or operate the grill on an inclined plane. Make sure you lock the castor wheels
before operating the grill.
yDo not use charcoal or lighter fluid in the outdoor grill.
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 LP tank. Keep the ventilation openings of the cylinder enclosure free and
clear from debris.
yDo not move the appliance during its use.
yThis unit is for outdoor use only. Do not operate in enclosed areas. This could result in carbon
monoxide build-up which would result in injury or death.
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
yNever attach or disconnect an LP cylinder, or move or alter gas fittings when the grill is in operation
or is hot.
yClean and perform general maintenance on the grill twice a year. Watch for corrosion, cracks,
or insect activity. Check the regulator, hoses, burner ports, air shutter, and venturi/valve section
carefully. Always turn off gas at the source (tank or supply line) prior to inspecting parts.
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

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 3” (76mm) for non-combustibles,
or 18” (457mm) for combustibles, from the back of the grill.

Clearances to non-combustible construction*
A minimum of 3” clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required
for the purpose of allowing the lid to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 6” 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).

*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.

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. 04 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. 05. 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.

INSTALLATION
Locating Built-in Clearances
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 insulated jacket which has
specifically been designed and tested for this purpose. Review the detail drawing shown (Fig. 05)
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.

FIG. 03
**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 required that a minimum of three 10x10” (645 x 645mm) of ventilation opening be provided for
both the left and right sides, as well as the back of enclosure (Fig. 04), in order to safely dissipate
unburned gas vapors in the event of a gas supply leak.
Clearances to combustible construction**
Minimum of 18” (457 mm) from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical
combustible construction, above the counter top level. You should take in account that there is a
large volume of heat, and smoke will exhaust from the rear of the grill. This may discolor or damage
unprotected areas. Do not install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire
safe ventilation system.
A 18” (457mm) minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible
construction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket.

Gas Hook-up
LP cart hook-up
Grills 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. The grill system is
leak tested, do not remove the Regulator/Hose assembly from the grill during cart installation.
Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure:
11.0” W.C. Note: all gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for
Outdoor Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
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 of its safety feature, you should always turn off the LP tank main valve
(Fig. 07) after each use and during transport of the tank or unit. Insert the regulator inlet into the
tank valve and turn to the black coupler clockwise until the coupler tightens up. Do not overtighten
the coupler. Turn the main tank 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 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
A dented or rusty LP tank may be hazardous and should be checked by your LP 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 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 an 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.
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.

Gas Hook-up
Connection: LP Hose with a Type 1 quick disconnect and regulator is included. Operating pressure:
11.0” W.C. All gas piping and connectors must conform to the Standard for Connectors for Outdoor
Gas Appliances and Manufactured Homes, ANSI Z21.75/CSA 6.27.
If you intend to operate your built-in grill on LP gas utilizing a 20v lb type 1 cylinder, then a built-
in LP tank restraint must be installed prior to initial use of the grill. The Installer must supply ½” ID
Flex hose and fixed pipe and a flare adaptor as indicated in Fig. 08.
Note: when an LP unit is being directly connected to an LP house system, you must follow the natural
gas hook up guidelines.
The installer must provide the proper gas regulator to reduce the gas pressure to 11” W.C.
LP built-in hook-up
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 and the LP regulator/hose assembly must be removed from the
product .
IMPORTANT!
Gas piping and connectors must be clamped within the the enclosure to avoid contact with moving
parts and hot surfaces. Where the gas piping passes through an opening in the enclosure, the
piping must be protected for a distance of at least 2” (50mm) either side of the opening.

Leak Testing
IMPORTANT!
Gas leak testing must be carried out by a qualified technician.
General
Although all gas connections on the grill are leak tested at the factory prior to shipment, a
complete gas tightness check must be performed at the installation site due to possible mishandling
in shipment, or excessive pressure unknowingly being applied to the unit. Periodically check the
whole system for leaks, or immediately check if the smell of gas is detected.
Before Testing
Do not smoke while leak testing. Extinguish all open flames. Never leak test with an open flame.
Make a soap solution of one part liquid detergent and one part water. You will need a spray bottle,
brush, or rag to apply the solution to the fittings. For LP units, check with a full cylinder. The valve
panel must be removed to check the valves and fittings. Remove the knobs and the safety valve
knob, then remove the 2 screws which fasten the valve panel to the unit (you will need a Philips
screw driver for this). Pull the valve panel outward and unplug the wires from the ignition module.
In the back of the unit remove the screws which hold the service panel in place. Remove the service
panel.
To Test
Make sure all control valves are in the “OFF” position. Turn the gas supply “ON”. Check all
connections from the supply line, or LP cylinder up to and including the manifold pipe assembly.
Apply the soap solution around the connection, valve, tubing and end of the manifold. Avoid
getting the soap solution on or in the valve switches. Soap bubbles will appear where a leak is
present. If a leak is present, immediately turn off gas supply, tighten any leaking connections, turn
gas on, and recheck. Check all the gas connections at the base of the control valves where they
screw into the manifold pipe.
To check rotisserie burner and safety valve the burner must be lit, then leak test the connections
located behind the service panel. If you cannot stop a gas leak turn off the gas supply and call your
local gas utility, or the dealer you purchased the appliance from. Only those parts recommended by
the manufacturer should be used on the grill. Substitution can void the warranty.
IMPORTANT!
yDo not use the grill until all connections have been checked and do not leak.
yCheck all gas supply fittings for leaks before each use. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the
gas supply shut-off valve. Spray all the fittings, bubbles indicate leaks.

Burner Adjustment
Grill burner air adjustment
Each grill burner is tested and adjusted at the factory prior to
shipment; however, variations in the local gas supply or a conversion
from one gas to another may make it necessary to adjust the burners.
The flames of the burners (except the rotisserie burner) should be
visually checked and compared to that of the drawing in Fig.12.
Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips (LP units may
have some yellow tipping), excessive noise or lifting. If any of these
conditions exist, check if the air shutter or burner ports are blocked
by dirt, debris, spider webs, etc. Proceed with air shutter adjustment.
The amount of air which enters a burner is governed by a metal cup
at the inlet of the burner called an air shutter. It is locked in place
by a screw which must be loosened prior to lighting the burner for
adjustment.
IMPORTANT!
Before lighting, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is evidence
of cuts, wear, or abrasion, it must be replaced prior to use.
Grill burner flame height
Before beginning, ensure the grill is off and cool. To access the grill burner air shutters, first remove
the grates and radiants from the firebox, then remove the grill burner using instructions shown on
page 35. With a screw driver, loosen the lock screw on the face of the air shutter slightly so that the
air shutter can be adjusted.
To adjust
1Be careful as the burner may be very hot.
2If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the air shutter counter-clockwise to allow more air
to the burner.
3If the flame is noisy and tends to lift away from the burner, indicating too much air, turn the air shutter
clockwise.
Note: reinstall the U-burner, ensuring the burner is level. Light the burner and check the flame.
If the color of the flame is blue and the height is stable, remove the burner and tighten the air
shutter screw. If the flames show instability or an inconsistent color, repeat the above procedure to
readjust the air shutter.
Low flame setting adjustment
The valves on the grill feature an adjustable low setting. Due to fluctuations in gas pressure, heating
value or gas conversion, you may feel it necessary to increase or decrease gas flow in the low
position. We do not recommend adjusting the infrared rotisserie burner.
To adjust
1Light the burner.
2Turn the control knob to the lowest setting (counter-clockwise).
3Remove the knob.
4While holding the valve shaft with pliers, insert a thin, flat tipped
screwdriver into the shaft and while viewing the burner adjust to a
minimum stable flame.
yFor safety reasons the flame must never extend beyond the bottom of the cooking utensil. Never allow
flames to curl up the side of the pan.
yUtensils which conduct heat slowly (such as glass-ceramic) should be used with medium to low flames. If
you are cooking with a large amount of liquid, a slightly larger flame can be used.

Side burner flame height
The correct height of the flame mainly depends on the size of the
bottom of the cooking utensil, the material of the cooking utensil,
the amount and type of food and the amount of liquid in the
utensil. Following are some basic rules for selecting flame height.
