INTRODUCTION The DCS Professional series ranges are designed with a large number of features available in a multitude of different combinations. Top burner sections, thermostatic griddles, and grills are available as complete freestanding ranges. The large capacity gas convection ovens of the RGS series are equipped with an in-oven gas infrared broiler. The smaller gas oven found on the 48” RGS series is ideal for baking smaller dishes.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION Install components in the following order: A) Vent Hood B) Backguard System 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 top of 30” backguard.
UNPACKING AND HANDLING CAUTION: Proper equipment and adequate manpower must be used in moving the range to avoid damage to the unit or the floor. The unit is heavy and rests on adjustable steel legs. WARNING: DO NOT lift range by the oven door handles!! WARNING: DO NOT remove the grill or griddle assemblies!! Left Rear Left Rear Shipping Shipping Screws Screws It may be necessary to remove the oven doors and knobs to pass through some doorways.
UNPACKING AND HANDLING After checking the countertops for level and before sliding the range into place, measure the distance from the floor to the top of the counter work surface in the rear left and right corners. Adjust the corresponding rear corner of the range to an equal height of the counter, as the rear leveling legs are not accessible once the range is pushed into place. Once the range is in place, the front leg levelers can be accessed to level the front of the range.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS STEP 2: 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 STEP 4: 1) The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in fig. 8 (RGS-48 & 36) & fig. 10 (RGS-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 either flush or projecting, depending on the countertop depth. 3) The gas and electrical supply should be within the zones shown (fig. 8, 10, & 14).
