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 U-burners 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 two cups of tap water and ½ 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, this
process will be more difficult.
Method 3
Take about one 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. Clean
grease 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 there
are a lot of flare-ups during cooking, the tubes need
to be turned over and heated on “HI” for 30 minutes;
longer for heavy soil.
IMPORTANT!
Before each use, inspect the gas supply piping or hose prior to turning the gas “on”. If there is
evidence of cuts, wear, or abrasion, on the piping or hose it must be replaced prior to use.
