CARE AND MAINTENANCE
FIG. 24
Battery replacement
IMPORTANT!
Battery condition should be checked at least once a year.
1 Remove drip pan.
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 (polarity shown in Fig. 24).
Regulator and hose replacement
The pressure regulator and hose assembly supplied with the unit must be used. If replacements are
needed, contact Customer Care at www.dcsappliances.com. 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. If LP, check that there is gas in the tank.
IMPORTANT!
y Always keep your face and body as far away from the grill as possible when lighting.
y DO NOT leave the grill unattended while cooking.
y Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas supply valve and check connections before each use.
y Do not attempt to light the grill if the odor of gas is present.
y Wait five minutes before relighting a hot grill.
Grill grates
Method 1
Turn on “HI” for 15-20 minutes to burn any remaining food particles. After turning the grill “OFF”,
use a bristle barbeque brush to remove any remaining food particles or ash.
Method 2
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 soft brass bristle
barbeque brush in a mixture of 2 cups of tap water and 1/2 cup of vinegar and scrub the hot grill.
Dip the brush frequently in the bowl of water and vinegar. Steam, created as water contacts the hot
grill, assists the cleaning process by softening any food particles. The food particles will fall onto the
ceramic rods and burn or fall into the drip pan. If the grill is allowed to cool before cleaning, cleaning
will be more difficult.
Method 3
Take about 1 foot of aluminum foil, crumpled up in a ball and rub it over cooled grates to release
food particles.
Note: grill grates must be re-seasoned after cleaning to prevent rust stains.
Drip pan and grease tray
The full width drip pan with grease tray will collect grease from the grill section and boil overs and
spills from the side burners. Allow the pan and its contents to cool before attempting to clean.
Cleangrease from the pan often to avoid the possibility of a grease fire.
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. If grease can be seen on the
top of the tubes or if you get a lot of flare-up during cooking, the tubes need to be turned over and
heated on “HI” for 30 minutes; longer for heavy soil.
