TABLE OF CONTENTS SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS .......................................................................................................3-5 GRILL MODELS ................................................................................................................................................................6 GAS REQUIREMENTS..............................................................................................................................................
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: Certain Liquid Propane dealers may fill liquid propane cylinders for use in the grill beyond cylinder filling capacity. This “Overfilling” may create a dangerous condition. “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.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or grill racks. This can severely upset combustion air flow or trap excessive heat in the control area. The result of this can be melted knobs or ignition buttons. Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions provided with this product. Have your grill installed by a qualified technician.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS When using the open top burners always use flat bottomed utensils which are large enough to cover the 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 the utensil when turning or stirring food.

GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LP, and make sure the marking on the appliance rating plate agrees with that of the supply. The rating plate is located on the outside of the back wall of the Grill. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. An installer supplied gas shut-off valve must be installed in an easily accessible location.
GAS REQUIREMENTS LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR): 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. Connection: 1/2" NPT male with a 3/8" Flare adapter (included). LP Hose with a quick disconnect and fittings are included. Operating pressure: 10.0" W.C.
LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES INSULATED JACKET: Do not build the Grill under overhead unprotected combustible construction. If the Grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary and is available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has specifically been designed and tested for this purpose.
LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES General The Grill is designed for easy placement into 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 bottom of Fig. 04.
BUILT–IN CONSTRUCTION DETAILS grill exhaust 3" (to non-combustible construction / minimum lid clearance) 12" (to combustible construction) 13-3/4" Bottom of support flange 2" 10" 1-1/2" 22" 25-1/2" Standard layout for non-combustible enclosure: 48" Models = 45-3/4" 36" Models = 34-1/2" 10 in.2 Min. ventilation on the back side NOTE: If using a backguard apron or rear wall, locate electrical service on the right hand side for rotisserie motor connection 3" Min. for Lid Clearance 22-3/4" 2 10 in.
LEAK TESTING 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.
INSTALLER CHECKLIST/BURNER ADJUSTMENTS INSTALLER FINAL CHECKLIST: ❏ Specified clearances maintained to combustibles. ❏ Verified proper enclosure ventilation. ❏ Nylon straps removed from burners. ❏ All internal packaging removed. ❏ Knobs turn freely, bezels centered. ❏ Each burner lights satisfactorily, individually or with adjacent burner lit. ❏ Air shutters adjusted. ❏ Adjustable low setting satisfactory. ❏ Drip pan in place properly and sliding freely. ❏ Pressure regulator connected and set for 4.0" W.C.
BURNER ADJUSTMENTS 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.07 and Fig. 08. Flames should be blue and stable with no yellow tips, excessive noise or lifting.
USING THE GRILL GRILL: Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a stainless steel heat baffles, a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel rack, and a stainless steel heat retaining grate. Each burner is rated at 25,000 Btu/hr. Below burners there is a stainless steel heat baffle which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan below.
USING THE GRILL REPLACEMENT OF REGULATORS AND HOSE: The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. The replacement pressure regulators and hose assembly must be the type specified by the manufacturer. Do not use the grill if the odor of gas is present. If the unit is LP, screw the regulator into the tank and leak check the hose and regulator connections with a soap and water solution before operating the grill. Turn all knobs to "OFF" then turn on the gas supply.
USING THE GRILL/LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS Grilling Method Note: Indirect cooking method is a popular alternative to direct heat grilling. Indirect cooking uses heat from adjacent burners to cook food and in many cases, reduces the possibility of overcooked or overly browned food. Foods most appropriate for indirect grilling included breads, thicker pieces of chicken or steaks.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS TO LIGHT DUAL SIDE BURNERS (48BQR MODELS ONLY): CAUTION: The side burner cover may be hot if the grill burners are in operation. Side Burners Lighting Instructions: First remove the burner cover and any cooking utensils from the burner grate. Push and hold the ignition button, turn the control knob to the “HI” position until the burner is lit or 4 seconds pass. If the burner doesn’t ignite, wait 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate then try again.
USING THE SMOKER SYSTEM The smoker system on each grill consists of a stainless steel slide out tray which is positioned above a 3,500 Btu/hr burner. The burner is controlled by a precision brass valve which is capable of being turned down to very low heat levels. The system may be used alone for low temperature roasting and smoking or in conjunction with any combination of other burners.
USING THE ROTISSERIE The grill rotisserie system is designed to cook items from the back using infrared heat. The location of the burner allows the placement of the rotis basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavor the contents of the basting pan, you can add herbs, onion, garlic, or spices. Hams are especially good with the addition of pineapple slices and brown sugar to the basting pan.
USING THE ROTISSERIE WARNING: Never have the grill burners (bottom burners) on during Rotisserie cooking. It will burn your meat and make it very dry. Use only one section at a time, grill or rotisserie. PREPARATION Recommended: Dental floss or butcher string, scissors, broiler pan (bottom only), pliers, instant read thermometer, foil, and hot pads. Working Area: Allow enough space to accommodate food and rotisserie rod assembly in a clean environment.
USING THE ROTISSERIE COOKING ON ROTISSERIE 1. Place prepared rod into motor, lay across to other side in groove. (Fig.27) 2. Verify placement as shown in Fig. 28. 3. Ignite Burner, start Rotisserie Motor, and keep on High for cooking all meats on the Rotisserie. 4. To check temperature, turn off motor, turn temperature to low while using your instant read thermometer. For poultry it should read 170º in breast.
USING THE ROTISSERIE TO LIGHT THE ROTISSERIE BURNER: The location of the rotis burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotis during windy conditions. As an added safety feature we’ve equipped the burner with an automatic safety valve which will not allow gas to flow to the rotis burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on: 1. The safety valve button is pressed, and held down.
CARE AND CLEANING BATTERY REPLACEMENT: 1. Remove drip pan. 2. Open cart door. 3. Pull battery downwards (This may require use of pliers.) 4. Re-install upward and push to snap - Fig. 32. (Polarity is shown in Fig. 33). FIG. 33 FIG. 32 NOTE: Battery condition should be checked at least once a year. GRILL GRATES: The easiest way to clean the grill is immediately after cooking is completed and after turning off the flame. Wear a barbeque mitt to protect your hand from the heat and steam.
BURNER REMOVAL AND CLEANING SIDE BURNERS: For proper lighting and performance Cap keep the burners clean. It is necessary to clean the burners if they do not light even though the igniter clicks, if there has been a severe boil over, or when Brass Ring Main the flame does not burn blue. Be Locating Pins Burner certain all burner knobs are in the off Port position before attempting to clean Ring the burners. The burners have been designed for ease in cleaning.
BURNER REMOVAL AND CLEANING ORIFICE CLEANING: With the burner removed, remove the orifice and shine a flashlight through the opening to ensure there is no blockage. Use a needle to clear any debris. Be extremely careful not to enlarge the hole or break off the needle. See page 25, Fig. 36. SMOKER BURNER: The smoker burner can be removed and cleaned by unplugging the igniter wire and lifting out the burner. Cleaning is similar to the grill burner.
TROUBLESHOOTING Before Calling for Service: If the grill does not function properly, use the following checklist before contacting your dealer for service. You may save the cost of a service call. Troubleshooting is for general purposes only. If the problem persists and you feel you require service, contact your dealer or the nearest authorized agency to perform service.
