GRILL USE
The two-piece grill rack is reversible. Place the side with the
two grooved tabs towards the back of the cooktop. The grill
rack is made of cast iron and has a black porcelain finish.
One side of the grill is ridged and should be used for foods
where you want the fat to run off, such as steak or ham-
burger patties. The ridges are slopped so the fat runs toward
the front of the grill and can easily run down to the cooler
area of the drip tray and away from the intense heat of the
burner. The other side of the grill was designed for foods
that need more support while cooking, such as fish.
Food cooked on this grill achieves the same flavor as food
cooked on an outdoor grill. The intense radiant heat from
the ceramic briquettes caramelizes the fats and juices that
are brought to the surface of the food, giving it the barbe-
cued flavor. This gas grill may cook slightly faster than you
are used to.
The layer of ceramic briquettes, under the grill racks, will
last for many years with proper care. They are shipped
from the factory pre-assembled on the radiant tray, ready
to be set in place into the fire box, under the grill racks. Be
sure to remove any packaging material from the radiant
tray and briquettes before using the grill. Burned food par-
ticles and ash can be emptied off the radiant tray when
cool by shaking over a waste receptacle. Chipping or crack-
ing of the briquettes may occur as they may get brittle with
age, depending on frequency of use. This is normal and
does not affect the cooking. Do not replace the radiant
tray/briquettes with alternates. Contact DCS for genuine
factory-direct replacement parts.
For proper searing and browning the grill requires high
heat. When cooking you will usually use the HI heat the
entire cooking time. With large pieces of meat or poultry
you may need to turn the heat to a lower setting after the
food has been seared. This lower heat setting will allow the
food to cook through without burning the outside. When
using a sugary marinade or barbecue sauce it may be neces-
sary to turn the heat setting down, near the end of the
cooking time. Do not leave the grill unattended while it is
turned on.
Before starting to cook on the grill, be sure the drip tray and
liners are in place and that you have the grill racks turned to
the side you want for cooking. Preheat the grill for 15 min-
utes with the control knob set on HI. When the grill is pre-
heated, place the food on the grill. Cook it to the doneness
desired. During cooking it may be necessary to adjust the
heat setting. The control knob may be set to any position
between HI and LO. When you are finished cooking allow
the grill and the drip trays to cool before cleaning them.
