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” cylinders can build up excess pressure. As a safety device, the cylinder pressure relief valve will vent propane gas vapour to relieve this excess pressure. This vapour is combustible and therefore can be ignited.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS ■ After a period of storage or non-use (such as over the winter), the gas grill should be checked for gas leaks, dete- rioration, proper assembly, and burner obstructions before using. ■ Never let clothing, pot holders or other flammable materials come in contact with or get too close to any grate, burner or hot surface until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
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.
SAFETY PRACTICES & PRECAUTIONS ■ When 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.

INSTALLATION LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES Tools required: Phillips screwdriver. Shipping Brackets Important! Before installation, remove shipping brackets from the grill. To do so, loosen the 4 screws on the bottom sides of the grill which hold the brackets to the grill. Slide the shipping brackets off and retighten the screws. FIG. 1 Remove all internal packaging and adhesive residue. To remove stubborn residue, use rubbing alcohol or a commercially available adhesive remover.
INSTALLATION LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES This appliance shall only be used in an above ground open-air situation with natural ventilation, without stagnant areas, where gas leakage and products of combustion are rapidly dispersed by wind and natural convection. Any outdoor enclosure in which the appliance is used shall comply with one of the following: ■ An enclosure with walls on all sides, but at least one premanent opening at ground level and no overhead cover. See Fig.3.
INSTALLATION LOCATING GRILL/BUILT-IN CLEARANCES Clearances to Non-Combustible Construction*: A minimum of 76 mm clearance from the back of the grill to non-combustible construction is required for the purpose of allowing the hood to open fully. It is desirable to allow at least 153 mm 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.

INSTALLATION BUILT–IN CONSTRUCTION DETAILS Important! - Providing ventilation openings as per the diagrams below is MANDATORY. - Providing an access opening from the front is MANDATORY. The opening must be large enough to allow easy access to the cylinder valve or shut-off valve for the purposes of shutting gas off to the appliance. If gas supply is via cylinder, the opening must be large enough to allow easy placement and removal of the cylinder too.
INSTALLATION GAS HOOK-UP GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas supply to be used, either natural or LPG, by checking the gas type label on rear panel of the unit and the serial label behind the drip pan handle on the right-hand side. For gas consumption data, see the rating label on the rear panel of the unit. Never connect an unregulated gas line to the appliance. You must use the gas regulator provided with the unit, even if the supply is controlled.
INSTALLATION GAS HOOK-UP NATURAL GAS HOOK UP CONT: Important! Where the appliance is intended to be permanently connected to a reticulated supply of gas, the appliance inlet connection shall have a thread in accordance with AS ISO 7.
INSTALLATION GAS HOOK-UP LPG GAS HOOK UP Grills set for use with LPG gas come equipped with a high capacity hose/regulator assem bly for connection to a standard 9 kg LPG POL cylinder. The LPG cylinder is not included. Connection: 1/2” NPT male with a 3/8” Flare adapter (included). LPG Hose with a POL fitting and fittings are included. Operating pressure: 2.75 kPa. Maximum supply pressure: 1750 kPa.
INSTALLATION GAS HOOK-UP LPG CYLINDER RESTRAINT FOR BUILT-IN INSTALLATION 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. If you intend to operate your Built-in grill on LPG gas utilizing a minimum 9 kg cylinder, then the Built-in LPG cylinder restraint must be installed prior to initial use of the grill. If you do not have one please contact DCS by Fisher & Paykel for information on obtaining one.
INSTALLATION GAS HOOK-UP STEP 1 Place the cylinder restraint in the island (Fig. 14). STEP 2 Locate the cylinder restraint in the island within the recommended area (Fig. 13 and 15). STEP 3 Once located, secure to the bottom of the island using all eight hole locations provided on the restraint. Wood screws can be used for wooden floors or 1/4” (6mm) diameter anchor screws or bolts may be used if the floor is concrete or masonry (Fig. 16). FIG.
INSTALLATION LEAK TESTING -- PROCEDURE FOR A QUALIFIED GAS FITTER Important! There are two levels of testing for leaks. (1) Gas supply connection points that are accessible with the grill installed can be leak tested by the user. (2) Connections that are internal to the grill and therefore require disassembly should only be leak-tested by a licenced gas fitter. The full procedure below is to be performed by a licenced gas fitter only.
INSTALLATION BURNER ADJUSTMENT Burner adjustment should only be performed by a licenced gas fitter. 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.21.
INSTALLATION RADIANT ASSEMBLY INSTALLING THE GREASE SHIELDS The grease shields (2 per burner) help deflect any grease drippings away from the grill burner ports, preventing the ports from getting clogged. They come packed with the other accessories, in a separate bag. Unpack the grease shields and position them on the pins above the grill burners (two per burner), as shown in Fig.24. RADIANT ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION: 1. Unpack ceramic rods and remove radiant (Fig. 25) from the unit. 2.
INSTALLATION GRIDDLE PLATE Note: the griddle plate is not supplied with the grill but may be purchased separately as an optional accessory . To purchase a griddle plate, contact Customer Care. See section ‘Service’ for contact details. Griddle plate to be fitted to centre burner positions only 1. Remove grates from centre burner position. 2. Locate rear slots of griddle into grate support. 3. Sit front of griddle over grease channel. Remove griddle plate only when completely cooled 1.

USING THE GRILL LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR GRILL, CHECK THAT ALL PACKAGING HAS BEEN REMOVED. TO LIGHT THE GRILL BURNER: Open the grill hood and/or remove the top grate cover from side burner (for 48BQR) before lighting. Turn all knobs to “OFF”. Turn the main gas supply on slowly. If you smell gas, shut off gas supply and call for service. Push and hold the ignition button, turn the selected burner knob to “SEAR”.
USING THE GRILL GRILLING GRILL: Each grill section consists of a large stainless steel burner, a series of ceramic rods encased in a stainless steel radiant, grease shield and a stainless steel heat retaining grate. Below the burners there is a stainless steel heat shield which reflects usable heat upward into the cooking area and reduces temperatures of the drip pan below. Above the burners are stainless steel radiants which encase the ceramic rods and protect the grill burner ports from blockage (Fig.
USING THE GRILL GRILLING (Continued) 1. Check to be certain the drip pan and grease tray are in place. 2. Light the grill burners using the instructions in section ‘Lighting instructions’. 3. Once you have verified the burners are lit, preheat the grill for 5 to 10 minutes. 4. Place the food on the grill and cook to the desired doneness. Adjust heat setting, if necessary. The control knob may be set to any position between “SEAR” and “LOW” - most grilling is done between “MED” and “LOW” settings. 5.

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 rotisserie basting pan (included) beneath the food to collect juices and drippings for basting and gravy. To flavour 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. Do not cover or obstruct the upper or lower vents on the rotisserie motor unit. The motor is air-cooled and blocking these vents may cause the motor to overheat shortening its lifespan.
USING THE ROTISSERIE TO LIGHT THE ROTISSERIE BURNER BEFORE COOKING: The location of the rotisserie burner makes it more susceptible to strong wind conditions, more so than the protected grill burners. For this reason you should avoid operating the rotisserie 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 rotisserie burner unless the following conditions are present with the knob on: 1.
USING THE ROTISSERIE COOKING ON ROTISSERIE 1. Place prepared rod into motor, lay across to other side in groove (Fig.42). 2. Verify placement as shown in Fig. 43. 3. Ignite burner, start rotisserie motor, and keep on rotisserie valve on “high” for cooking all meats on the rotisserie. 4. To check temperature of the meat, turn off motor, turn temperature to low while using your instant-read thermometer. For poultry it should read 75 oC in the breast.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE GENERAL ADVICE ■ Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance, make sure that all burners are off, and gas to the appliance has been shut off at the cylinder valve or shut-off valve. ■ Beware of hot surfaces. If you clean surfaces while they are still warm, make sure to wear barbecue mitts for pro- tection against heat and steam. ■ Clean and inspect the grill regularly, following the maintenance schedule below. ■ Keep the grill covered when not in use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE LEAK TESTING – PROCEDURE FOR THE USER IMPORTANT! There are two levels of testing for leaks. (1) Gas supply connection points that are accessible with the grill installed can be leak tested by the user. (2) Connections that are internal to the grill and therefore require disassembly should only be leak tested by a qualified gas fitter. The procedure below does not require any special expertise and can be performed by a user.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE BATTERY REPLACEMENT: 1. Carefully remove the drip pan, following the instructions under section ‘Drip pan’ further below. 2. Open cart door (on cart model only). 3. Pull battery downwards (This may require use of pliers). 4. Re-install upward and push to snap - Fig. 48. (Polarity is shown in Fig. 49). FIG. 48 FIG. 49 Note: Battery condition should be checked at least once a year.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE CERAMIC RODS: It is not necessary to remove the ceramic rods for cleaning. They burn themselves clean during the next cooking operation. Periodically the trays holding the ceramic rods need to be turned over, and shaken free of debris for a thorough cleaning. How often you use the grill and the amount and type of food cooked will determine when it is necessary to clean the trays.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE GREASE TRAY ■ Most of the grease from grilling, as well as boilovers and spills from the side burners (48BQR models only) are channelled into the small grease tray insert. ■ Clean the grease tray after every use, but only after its contents have had time to cool. If not cleaned, accumulated grease may catch on fire. ■ To clean, use hot water and dishwashing liquid. If necessary, soak the grease tray in hot soapy water to soften stubborn residue.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE DROP-ON GRIDDLE PLATE (NOT SUPPLIED WITH UNIT, PURCHASED SEPARATELY) BEFORE USING THE GRIDDLE FOR THE FIRST TIME OR TO RE-SEASON 1. Clean the griddle thoroughly with hot soapy water to remove any protective coating. 2. Rinse with a mixture of 4 cups water and 1/4 cup white vinegar. Dry thoroughly. 3. Pour 1 teaspoon vegetable oil into the centre of the griddle (do not use corn oil as it gets sticky). Rub the oil over the entire surface of the griddle using a heavy cloth. 4.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE STAINLESS STEEL: The grill is made from non-rusting and non-magnetic stainless steel. After initial usage, areas of the grill may discolour from the intense heat given off by the burners, this is normal. There are many different stainless steel cleaners available. Always use the mildest cleaning procedure first, scrubbing in the direction of the grain.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE Opening FIG. 55 GRILL BURNER CLEANING: Clean the exterior of the burner with a stainless steel wire brush. Clear stubborn scale with a metal scraper. Clear any clogged ports with a straightened paper clip. Never use a wooden toothpick as it may break off and clog the port. Shake out any debris through the air shutter opening (Fig. 55). Use a flashlight to inspect the burner inlet to ensure it is not blocked.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE SIDE BURNER GRATES (BGB48 BQR MODEL): When lifting the grates be careful as they are heavy. Place them on a protected surface, so they won’t scratch the surface they are laid on. The burner grates are matte enamel over cast iron. When cool, they may be wiped clean using hot soapy water, then rinsed and wiped dry. The burner grates will not rust as they are matte enamel on both sides for durability.
