When properly cared for, your new DCS Appliance has been designed to be a safe, reliable cooking appliance.
When using this restaurant caliber appliance, use it with extreme care, as this type 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 has not 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 and 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.
■ 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, and/or touch any part of an appliance while in operation.
■ 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 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 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 cloth or frayed cloth in place of pot holders. Do not let pot holders touch hot
burners, or burner grates.
■ 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.
