SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance is designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance.
When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type of appliance
provides intense heat and can increase the accident potential. Basic safety precautions must be
followed when using kitchen appliances, including the following:
ꢀ Read this Use and Care Manual thoroughly before using your new appliance. This will help to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.
ꢀ Begin by insuring proper installation and servicing. Follow the installation instructions which came
with this appliance. Be sure to have a qualified technician install and ground this appliance before
using.
ꢀ Have the installer show you where the gas supply shut off valve is located so you will know how
and where to turn off the gas to the appliance.
ꢀ If you smell gas, the installer may not have done a proper job of checking for leaks. You can have a
small leak and therefore a faint gas smell if the connections are not completely tight. Finding a gas
leak is not a “do-it-yourself” procedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in
the ON position; for your protection it must be done by a qualified service technician.
ꢀ If by some chance a burner goes out and gas escapes, open a window or a door to let the room air
out. Do not attempt to use the appliance or turn any electrical switch on or off until the gas has had
time to dissipate. Follow the instructions on page 1,“For Your Safety– if You Smell Gas”.
ꢀ This appliance has been factory assembled for natural or LP gas. It should be correctly adjusted
from the factory for the type of gas that is used.
ꢀ Do not repair or replace any part of this appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
ꢀ Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. They
should never be allowed to turn knobs, push buttons, sit or stand on any part of an appliance.
ꢀ Children in walkers, or children crawling can be attracted to the round oven door handle and may
grab and open the oven door. This can result in injury from the door being pulled open on a child,
or severe burns if the oven is in use and hot.
WARNING:
Do not store items of interest to children above or at the back of any appliance.
Children could be seriously injured if they should climb onto the appliance to
reach these items.
ꢀ Never store anything in the oven or on the cooktop. Flammable materials can catch fire, plastic
items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
ꢀ Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some
fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.
ꢀ If the appliance is near a window be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the cooktop
burners; they could catch on fire.
ꢀ Do not use water on grease fires. Turn all burners OFF, then smother fire with a metal lid, baking
soda or use a dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
ꢀ Never let clothing, pot holders, or other flammable materials come in contact with, or get too close
to, any burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury.
ꢀ Be certain to use only dry pot holders: moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may cause burns
from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky or frayed cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let
pot holders touch hot burners, or burner grates.

SAFETY PRACTICE AND PRECAUTIONS
ꢀ For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never
be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not
be worn while cooking.
ꢀ Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop. Using a foil liner could result in
a fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent
heat insulator and heat will be trapped underneath it. This trapped heat can upset the cooking
performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the cooktop parts.
WARNING:
This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the
oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the
cooktop or oven parts.
ꢀ When using the cooktop: Do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding area.
Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
ꢀ When using the oven: Do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven, the exterior area immediately
surrounding the door or the back trim. The drip tray handles directly above the oven door may be
hot if the oven has been operated with the door open, or if something has prevented the door from
sealing. Always use caution when pulling out the drip trays (GD & GL models only) when the oven
has been on,or is currently on. The drip trays get hot when the oven is on. Do not remove drip trays
until they are cool.
ꢀ Never leave the cooktop unattended when using high flame settings. When cooking with high
flame settings, boil overs may cause smoking and greasy spill overs may ignite. More importantly,
if the burner flames are smothered by a severe boil over which effects the igniter, unburned gas will
escape into the room.
ꢀ Only certain types of glass, heat-proof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen ware, or other glazed utensils
are suitable for cooktop use. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use
only on low or medium flames settings according to the manufacturer’s directions.
ꢀ Do not heat sealed food containers; a build up of pressure may cause the container to burst.
ꢀ During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does
not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. This could heat and/or melt the handles. Also make
longer cooking time.
ꢀ Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner.The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
ꢀ To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spill overs, position handles
of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the
cooktop.
ꢀ Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food.
ꢀ Grease is flammable. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect around the cooktop burners. Clean after each use or boil over.
ꢀ For proper lighting and performance of the cooktop burners, keep the burner ports clean. It may
be necessary to clean these when there is a boil spill or when the burner does not light, even
though the electronic igniters click.
ꢀ Do not use the grill for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups. Do
not use cooking utensils on the grill.
ꢀ Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the
cooktop while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow
directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer.

SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
ꢀ Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using
any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying
action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
ꢀ Place oven racks in desired position while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven
is hot, do not let the pot holders contact the hot interior of the oven.
ꢀ Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing
foods.
ꢀ Do not rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking.
Wash gasket with hot water only.
ꢀ Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from cooking
vapors does not accumulate on them.
ꢀ Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the
cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.
ꢀ DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air
supply is available.
ꢀ For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance, never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door
or cooking surface.
ꢀ Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power
supply before servicing this appliance.
WARNING:
California Proposition 65-The burning of gas cooking fuel generates some by-
products which are known by the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. California law requires businesses to warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances. To minimize exposure to these
substances, always operate this unit according to the instructions contained in
this booklet and provide good ventilation to the room when cooking with gas.
RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOOK-UP TO GAS SUPPLY:
A manual valve must be installed external to the appliance, in an accessible location from the front
for the purpose of shutting off the gas supply. The supply line must not protrude beyond the back of
the unit. Make sure the gas supply is turned off at the wall valve before connecting the appliance.
The gas supply connections should be made by a qualified technician and in accordance with local
codes or ordinances. In the absence of a local code, the installation must conform to the National Fuel
Gas Code ANSI 223.1-1988, latest edition.
NOTE: This product must be installed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter when
installed within the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
NOTE: Alternate method of supplying
gas (mandatory for the State
of Massachusetts) installation
into the unit.

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
1) Remove all packaging material instructions (for insulation) from your appliance. If the installer has
not set up your appliance, do it now. Check that you have the following items:
COOKTOP:

5 burner head assemblies, burner caps and grates (RGS-305, RGS-485GD, and
CS-485GD Models Only)
Radiant tray - to hold ceramic rods for grill - (RGS-364GL, RGS-486GL & RGS-484GG
Models Only) (CS-364GL, CS-486GL & CS-484GG Models Only)
One removable drip tray (griddle and grill models have drip tray liners, for catching grease)
27” & 24” OVEN:
ꢀ Two removable side rails
ꢀ One two-piece broil pan
ꢀ Three oven racks
12” OVEN:
ꢀ Two oven racks
ꢀ Two removable side rails
ꢀ Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven racks or to line the oven. Heat can be trapped beneath
the foil; this can cause damage to the oven and the food may not cook correctly.
2) Before baking or broiling:
One at a time, turn the oven and broiler burners on for 20 to 30 minutes each. This burns off the
manufacturing oils used by the factory. Turn the oven burner on to 4500 F and the broiler burner on
to “BROIL”. Turn on the ventilator above your range while these burners are on, as there will be an
odor.
3) Place the oven racks in the proper position before turning on the oven. For correct rack position
check your recipe. The most frequently used position is number 2 (the food product must be in the
center of the oven for airflow). The rack positions are numbered from the bottom as in the floors of
a building.

BEFORE USING YOUR APPLIANCE
TO INSERT THE OVEN RACKS:
1) Hold the rack with the back safety rail in the up
position and towards the rear of the oven. Slip it
into the oven so the rack slides are between the
rack and the rack guides.
2) As you slide the rack into the oven, tip the front of
the rack up slightly, so that the safety stops on the
back of the rack clear the rack slides. The safety
stops keep the rack from sliding out of the oven
