INSTALLATION
Locating Built-in Clearances
Insulated jacket 
If the grill is to be placed into a combustible enclosure, an approved insulated jacket is necessary. 
Insulated jackets are available from your dealer. Use only the DCS insulated jacket which has 
specifically been designed and tested for this purpose. Review the detail drawing shown (Fig. 06) 
and take into account the provisions shown for gas line hook-up clearance in the right rear corner. 
It is required that ventilation holes are provided in the enclosure to eliminate the potential build-up 
of gas in the event of a gas leak. The supporting ledges or deck must be level and flat and strong 
enough to support the grill and insulated jacket. The counter should also be level.
IMPORTANT!
Installing this product into a combustible enclosure without an insulated jacket could result in fire, 
property damage and personal injury.

**DEFINITION OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL - Any materials of a building structure or decorative 
structure made of wood, compressed paper, plant fibers, vinyl/plastic or other materials that 
are capable of transferring heat or being ignited and burned. Such material shall be considered 
combustible even though flame-proofed, fire-retardant treated or surface-painted, or plastered. 
IMPORTANT!
It is recommended that a minimum of two 12 1/4x12 1/4" (311 x 311mm) vents be provided in order to 
safely dissipate unburned gas vapors in the event of a gas supply leak. These are to be located on 
each side of the enclosure and within 5" (127mm) of the top. 
Clearances to combustible construction**
Minimum of 18” (457mm) from the sides and rear of grill must be maintained to adjacent vertical 
combustible construction, above the counter top level. Intense heat, and large volumes of smoke will 
exhaust from the rear of the grill (Fig. 01b). This may discolor or damage unprotected areas. Do not 
install under unprotected combustible construction without using a fire safe ventilation system.
A 18” (457mm) minimum clearance must be maintained under the counter top to combustible con-
struction. The clearance can be modified by a use of an insulated jacket. Insulated jackets can be 
purchased from our website, www.dcsappliances.com.
