Operating Instructions

Ignition

1. Ensure the gas supply is turned on.
2. Push and turn a control knob to the HIGH position. The hot surface ignition system will automatically ignite the burner.
3. Once ignited, adjust the knob to your desired heat setting.
4. If a burner does not ignite within 5 seconds, turn the knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to dissipate, then repeat the ignition process.

Grilling with Dual Position Grates

The cast stainless steel grill grates offer versatility:

• Flat Position: Ideal for general grilling and delicate foods.
• Angled Position: Channels grease away from the flames into the Grease Management System, reducing flare-ups and creating distinct sear lines with the 'W' shaped side of the grates.

Rotisserie Operation

The integrated 18,000 BTU infrared back burner is designed for rotisserie cooking. Attach your food to the rotisserie spit, position it over the back burner, and turn on the rotisserie burner. Monitor cooking progress and internal temperatures for best results.

Searing Zone

The grill features a dedicated searing zone with a dynamic infrared burner for high-temperature cooking. This allows for quick searing to lock in juices and create a flavorful crust on meats.

Maintenance & Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DCS grill.

Cleaning Stainless Steel Surfaces

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Always wipe in the direction of the grain to prevent scratching. Avoid using abrasive pads, steel wool, or cleaners containing chlorine.

Cleaning Grill Grates and Ceramic Rods

After each use, allow the grill to cool slightly, then brush the grill grates with a stiff wire brush to remove food residue. The ceramic rods can be cleaned by brushing or by running the burners on high for a few minutes to burn off residue, then brushing once cooled.

Grease Management System

Regularly clean the grease tray and channels to prevent buildup and ensure proper drainage. Remove the grease tray, empty its contents, and wash with warm, soapy water.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your grill, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Burner Not Igniting: Check if the gas supply is open. Ensure the igniter is sparking. Clean any debris from the burner ports.
• Low Heat Output: Verify that the gas tank (if applicable) is not low or that the natural gas line is fully open. Check for blockages in burner ports.
• Excessive Flare-ups: Ensure the Grease Management System is clean and functioning. Trim excess fat from meats before grilling. Use the angled grate position.
• Uneven Heating: Clean ceramic rods and burner ports. Ensure all burners are fully engaged.

For persistent issues, contact DCS customer support or a qualified service technician.
