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!! It may be necessary to remove the oven doors and knobs to pass through some doorways. With the doors and knobs removed, a 29 1/16” (RDS 36/48) 29 3/8” (RDS 305) wide opening is required.
UNPACKING AND HANDLING MOVING AND PLACING THE RANGE Electric and gas connections should be made before the range is slid into the cabinet opening (see page 13 & 14). If installing a full backguard with the range, it should also be installed before the range is placed in its final position (refer to page 5). For proper performance, the professional range should be level.
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 3: 1) The range is a free standing unit. If the unit is to be placed adjacent to cabinets, the clearances shown in fig. 8 (RDS-36 & 48) & fig. 9 (RDS-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, 9, & 10).

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. 11.
ELECTRICAL / GAS CONNECTIONS STEP 5: (CONTINUED) RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD This appliance is factory equipped with a power supply cord with a four-prong grounding plug. It must be plugged into a mating grounding, type receptacle, connected to a correctly polarized 120/240 volt circuit.
HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY STEP 6: (CONTINUED) CAUTION: The appliance must be isolated from the building’s gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.). The appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at the test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5kPa.).
TEST AND ADJUSTMENTS STEP 7: WARNING : For Warranty coverage, DCS requires that burner adjustments be made by a qualified technician at the time of installation. Extreme care should be u s e d when adjustments are made after installation. Improper or lack of adjustments will void your warranty. Note: No air shutter adjustment is possible on the top burners.
