Patented Dual Flow Burners TM allow for consistently lower simmer temperatures and have a high output of 17,500 Btu/hr, with two burners at 12,500 Btu/hr. Also available on the ranges are an 18,000 Btu/hr griddle and/or grill. The large capacity gas convection ovens, 30,00 Btu/hr, of the RGT series are equipped with an in-oven gas infrared broiler, 19,000 Btu/hr.
SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance has been designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance. When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type appliance provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be followed when using kitchen appliances, including the following: ■ Read the Use and Care Manual, which came with this appliance, thoroughly before using your new appliance.
SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS ■ For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. ■ Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. This will cause heat to be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop parts.
SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS ■ Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer. ■ Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INFORMATION The RGT is tested in accordance with ANSI Z21.1 Standard for Household Cooking Gas Appliances. The range must be installed in conjunction with a suitable overhead vent hood. (See ventilation requirements, page 12). Due to the professional high heat capacity of this unit, particular attention should be paid to the hood and duct work installation to ensure it meets local building codes.
PLANNING THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION Install components in the following order: A. Vent Hood B. Backguard System (sold separately) C. Range 1. Locate and level range according to range installation instructions. 2. Measure distance from floor to top of island trim on range, adding 1/8” for backguard clearance. 3. Transfer this measurement to the wall. This will mark the bottom of your backguard. 4. From this line measure 28” up wall to mark the top of a 30” backguard.
UNPACKING AND HANDLING MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE (cont.) Electric and gas connections should be made before the range is slid into the cabinet opening (see pages 14~18). If installing a full backguard with the range, it should also be installed before the range is placed in its final position (refer to pages 8 & 17). For proper performance, the professional range should be level.
UNPACKING AND HANDLING To remove door: WARNING! Do not lift oven door by the handle - this will cause damage! Be sure the oven and door are cool before you begin to remove the door! 1. Open the door all the way open (Fig. 5a). 2. Unlock the door hinges by rotating the lock forward (Fig. 5b). 3. Once both hinges are unlocked, gently close the door until approximately halfway closed. Grabbing the sides of the door and gently lifting up and slightly forward, the door will unlatch from the hinge. 4.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS A suitable exhaust hood must be installed above the range. The following chart indicates the minimum blower capacity recommended for hood ventilation.
INSTALLING ANTI-TIP DEVICE All ranges must have an anti-tip device correctly installed as per the following instructions. If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure that the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open oven door.
CABINET PREPARATION 1. The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in fig. 10 (RGT-36 & 48) & fig. 11 (RGT-305) are required. The same clearances apply to island installations. 2. The range can be placed in various positions with respect to the cabinet front, with the front frame either flush or projecting, depending on the countertop depth. 3. The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown figures 10 & 11. 4.

BACKGUARD INSTALLATION The backguard is located as shown in Fig. 14. Secure the backguard to the wall behind the range. Specific instructions for installation of the full backguard or low backguard can be found packaged with the backguard. See also page 8, “Planning The Installation” section. A backguard must be installed when there is less than a 12” clearance between combustibles and the back of the range (above the cooking surface). See fig. 13.
GAS HOOK-UP GAS REQUIREMENTS Verify the type of gas supplied to the location. The range is shipped from the factory set up and adjusted for Natural Gas or LP (propane), depending on the specific model ordered. Verify that the range is compatible with gas supply at the installation site before proceeding further. Return the range to the dealer if the unit is not set for the gas supplied at the site. NATURAL GAS ■ Connection: 1/2” NPT Minimum 5/8” dia. flex line. ■ Supply Pressure: 6” to 9” W.C.
TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS WARNING : For warranty coverage, DCS requires that burner adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be used when adjustments are made after installation. IMPROPER OR LACK OF ADJUSTMENT WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY. COOKTOP BURNER 1-1/2" COOKTOP BURNERS The cooktop burners are not adjustable. Proper operation is achieved when the correct orifices for gas supply are installed at the factory, based on model ordered. FIG.
TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS THIS ADJUSTMENT SECTION APPLIES TO THE GRIDDLE, GRILL AND OVEN BURNERS. Check for the proper burner flame characteristics and adjust air shutters if necessary (fig. 19). Each valve and air shutter is individually tested and adjusted prior to shipment. Normally adjustment is not required, however, vibration during transit, gas conversion or variations in the local gas supply may make minor adjustments necessary.
