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 For 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. Use of these types of materials may break with sudden temperature changes.
ions Safety Practices & Precautions • Do not operate the grill under unprotected combustible construction. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not use in buildings, garages, sheds, breezeway or other such enclosed areas. This unit is for outdoor use only. • If a cart unit is stored indoors ensure that it is cool, fold the side shelf down, then push, never pull, the grill. If LP, the cylinder must be unhooked and the LP cylinder stored outside in a well ventilated area, out of reach of children.

Gas Requirements Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either FIG.01 Natural Gas 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 inside 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 the grill inlet pipe to avoid shifting any internal gas lines of the grill. Ensure that the regulator arrow points in the direction of gas flow towards the unit, away from the supply. Do not forget to place the installer supplied gas valve in an accessible location. LP GAS HOOK UP (TYPE 1 OR QCC1 REGULATOR): Grills orificed for use with LP gas come equipped with an high capacity hose/regulator assembly for connection to a standard 20 lb. LP cylinder (Type 1). The LP tank is not included.
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.
Built–In Grill 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 FIG.
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. ❏ Nylon straps removed from burners. ❏ All internal packaging removed. ❏ Knobs turn freely, bezels centered. ❏ Each burner lights satisfatorily, 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. Natural, 11.2" W.C. LP gas.
Burner Adjustments /Using The Grill WARNING: 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. FIG.9 Power Burner Flame Height TO ADJUST: 1. Be careful as the burner may be very hot. 2. If the flame is yellow, indicating insufficient air, turn the airshutter counterclockwise to allow more air to the burner. 3.
Using The Grill 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. The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. 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 USING THE GRILL LP GAS: Grilling requires high heat for searing and proper browning. Most foods are cooked at the “Medium” heat setting for the entire cooking time. However, when grilling large pieces of meat or poultry, it may be necessary to turn the heat to a lower setting after the initial browning. This cooks the food through without burning the outside.
Lighting Instructions MATCH LIGHTING (CONTINUED): Once the left or right burner is lit, the adjacent burner(s) can be lit by the cross-lighting method. For center burners to cross light, light the adjacent far left or right burner using the standard or match light procedure. Push and turn the control knob for the desired center burner to “Lite” the gas will be ignited by the adjacent burners flame. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn knob off, wait 5 minutes and try again. FIG.12 FIG.
Using The Smoker System The smoker system on each grill consists of a stainless steel slide out tray which is positioned above a 5,000 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 thing on 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.21) 2. Verify placement as shown in Fig. 22. 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: All BQR Series Only: 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: FIG. 26 1. Remove grease tray. 2. Open cart door. 3. Pull battery downwards (This may require use of pliers.) NOTE: Re-install upward and push to snap. NOTE: Polarity as shown in Fig. 26 GRILL RACKS: 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. Dip a fine brass bristle barbeque brush in tap water and scrub the hot grill.
Burner Removal And Cleaning SIDE BURNERS: FIG. 24 The grill power burners (BQRS Models Only) are cast iron and occasionally it will be necessary to remove surface rust to ensure proper performance. Frequency of cleaning will depend on the climate & location, and how often you use the grill. If allowed to build up the rust may form layers which must be removed promptly. The walls of the burners are thick so they can withstand many years of use.
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. Only authorized agencies can perform warranty service. Call DCS Customer Service at (888) 281-5698.
